Yogi-Yogi Chai and Mint Chocolate Tea, with grape leaves, falafel, pita bread and olives.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Sounds nom! Our best Middle Eastern place has gone downhill suddenly and I really miss the awesome falafel they used to make. :cry:

Hope you enjoy that falafel with a side of gang rape. <-on topic

Read this thread.
No Schneibster. This can get serious. With an accusation such as "gang rape" you are actually defaming and blaming specific people of something that is a criminal offence in any country. What you are doing could be prosecuted under law, in most of the involved jurisdictions. I have a hard time understanding why the mods are putting up with that at all.

That said, I think you initially had some good points, and I am very sad that they have gone waisted in this mutual pie throwing contest.

You aren't left with serious lifelong emotional or medical issues from this thread are you?

I didn't start it, and if you have a better metaphor for that mob scene, feel free to express it. ETA: I'm having trouble with someone who doesn't understand what metaphors are.

Please, people. End ETA

Sorry, I ask inconvenient questions. I don't think many people here understood the implications of that before I started asking them.

I haven't had any responses, either. I'd be a bit nervous about that if I were you. Hope none of your money's involved.

No, but you're not going to get any aggregated news, responsive and thoughtful posts, or money as long as I have to stay in this mode to survive.

Survive?

Stop being so fucking melodramatic unless you're going to be entertaining at the same time. It's fucking rude!

Blame the victim. "How come you're so upset?"

No, it's not fucking rude. Fucking rude is issuing authority-loaded posts with self-contradictory contents. That is misfeasance, unless I've confused mal- and mis- again.

ETA: Yep, it's misfeasance. Malfeasance requires malice. I'm supposed to be assuming there isn't any.

If it's hard to find, maybe next time you won't try gangfuck tactics.
Perhaps we have simply got so bored with your endless droning repetition that none of us gives a shit about your initial post.
Perhaps I'm never going to bother to pay attention after this cluster fuck. I'm waiting to see if you people can resist behaving like a mob or not. So far, not.
How long you got? :tea:
Until I get bored.
are you bored yet? Is there anything we can do to hasten your boredom?

maybe not responding to your every twitch would help.

Maybe answering some fucking questions instead of pretending it's rude to ask questions when someone issues a self-contradictory official document directive.

No one has asked me a question yet that I didn't have an immediate answer to. Does this fact not raise a question in your awarenesses?

Have you considered that I might be right?
