I remember Wright saying: '...my muslim brothers and sisters...' while making his point. I couldn't throw a brick at the TV...I was too busy throwning up.

Proud of you patriots...
(And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here.)

I was recently reading (Christopher Hitchens: God is not Great) how Fred Hoyle coined the term 'big bang'. As an astronomer he had become infatuated with the 'design' theory and had used the term 'big bang' in an attempt to discredit the (now accepted) alternative explanation of the origin of the universe. In other words, the lampoon 'backfired', and what was originally a scornful term,... like 'suffragette' or 'impressionist' ... it became the complete opposite.
In a similar way, if those who were once derided can elevate themselves and claim the moral high ground and proclaim for example... their 'gay pride'... then we 'racists' should be able to do the same. We should stop being intimidated by the term 'racist' and we should defiantly proclaim our preference of associating with people like us. And we stop being persuaded by the lefty sickos that we have anything to be ashamed of. We DON'T. 'Big Bang'? Bring it on!

Gawd...how I hate that song.

'Herr Dumbarse' must have ignored the signs and should not have been crossing the bridge in the first place in those conditions. In that, he was utterly to blame. But having done so ( and probably having an empty trailer and therefore no load to check), he probably did the right thing in keeping it going forward and therefore straight! The only way out of a jacknife is get the foot off the brake and onto the throttle...if you can keep from panicking that is. A change of underpants is sometimes required.

When gross weights were 32 tons (not tonnes as they are now), lorries were invariably a 2 axle (4 wheel) tractor coupled to a tandem (2 axle, 4 wheeled trailer). Total: 4 axles, 8 wheels. Dividing the 8 wheels into 32 tons you get an average of 4 tons per wheel imposed on the road. In practice this was often less that that. They also had steel springs.
Modern artics have 6 wheel tractors and 6 wheel trailers (count them next time you see one) for the total of 44 tonnes. Doing the same maths you get a 'weight per wheel' of a little over 3.6 tonnes compared with the previous 4 tons. Considering that a tonne is less that a ton, it is plain that modern vehicles impose less axle weight on the road than they did before! Another point to note is that steel springs have been replaced by air suspension, so that the 'hammering' action on the road surface is much reduced.

Well said, sn....in fact I don't give a damn about whether she is racist or not, she is entitled to her views. But then, I am also entitled to mine. The big difference is that I don't scurry about proclaiming one thing while doing another. Furthermore I wouldn't try to claim the 'out of context' crap if I were caught out; I would have the courage to say what I believed in. This makes Abbot and those like her not only hypocrites but also cowards.

Obviously promoted way beyond her intellectual level. She expects people to be as thick as she is.

Thanks for that link....good vid.

If you do not welcome an intruder into your home without an invitation, you are a racist._If you object to the theft of all the things you and your family have held dear for generations, you are a racist._If you prefer the company of people who share your vaues, be they religious or moral or both, you are a racist._If you deny the doctrine that 'everyone is equal' despite the evidence that clearly shows they are not, you are racist._If you are any of these, you are a racist and therefore beneath contempt (despite the 'hate laws' which seem to exempt hatred of one's own people)._By any of those definitions, I am a 'racist'! _Do I care? I'm damned if I do! If anyone calls you a racist, reply with the words: "Thank you very much for the compliment". And watch the dismay on their face! Fk 'em!!
