All you're interested is in stupid arguements. First race and now you've moved on to piss of people. Why doesn't Buck just ban you?

You are definetely not a people person. With that attitude i don't believe many people IRL would like you.

@Thorin IRL you would not be god.

But there you are wrong. I am god.

I know, and I am a devoted follower.

I just thought an angry god could use something too cool him down. An angry god can't be good.

Hi to average joe and Georgi - haven't seen you for some time (maybe that's my fault, though ).

Hi ya. I've been around...mainly over at the Banshee forum. I usually just lurk here at SYM, because I find it impossible to keep up with all the conversations, or should I say spam?

Look at it from my point of view. A lot of responses seem fixed on the idea that Britain and England are the same . I could not convinve people that the 2 are different. How would Americans like if we said Canadians and Mexicans are exactly the same as Americans? Would you argue back?
This was a major sticking point with people and people were convinced otherewise making their argument ..HUH?.

I realise a lot has been said in my absence, some which i agree with and other that i do not

I would just like to say at99 that if you had been paying attention to the "spam" then you would know that i am Welsh (ergo part of Britian) I have a very indepth perspective on the England/Britain diachotomy, i thought i had best clear up my perspective if you were in any doubt

You have to understand certain other persons perspectives in debates before you can assume that they think one way or another. You could ask the person what their opinion is, rather than just jumping to a conclusion.

@Thorin, if we're to keep this topic going, it would really help for all sides to turn down the heat to a slow simmer. That includes even the occasional god. Please abide by Buck's rules, just as everyone else has--okay?

Hi all!
I wanted to apologize for my heated post, though in re-reading it, it doesn't seem that bad... *wonders if she needs to take 'get tough' courses, but worries that she'd have to run around with a gun over her head like those people in the army.*

Getting back to the 'why' about him, I have had a new thought. What sort of mushrooms grew near his house, and were they multicolored? We've overlooked this aspect entirely... Maybe he actually thought he SAW Hobbits and Elves?

I've never though I'd seen them. I know I have.

I've TRIED to see them, but have failed...You know, turning around really quickly hoping to catch a blurred figure behind you...peeking out windows to see if there are any shapes hiding in the shadows...checking under your bed and in your closet *just in case*...

I wonder if there's much of a difference between spotting elves and stalkers

Not to worry, Viv. Elves, Hobbits, Gnomes, Brownies, and, oddly, Welshmen, all share the habit of leaving little presents on your doorstep to indicate that they have been there. Mostly these consist of small flower arrangments, repaired shoes, hand-made musical instruments, and piles of small pretty stones. Welshmen, in addition, will occasionally leave burning paper sacks. You should avoid stomping on the flaming sacks.

Stalkers, on the other hand, tend to leave messages on your phone, size 9½ to 11 footprints outside your window, letters made from ripped-up magazines, and will run if a police car drives by.

You are probably being visited by nice little brownies.

Especially if you are in pimp wear, tbe tracksuits just tend to react with the coal a little too well
