My cat had an accident - I'm sick with worry!

-OUT-THE-LITTER wrote: "sheelagh" wrote in message oups.com... snip Please read my words carefully, because they were not said to offend anyone..Far from it..I was trying to point out that I don't judge everyone by the worst person I know from the same country, as someone who might have offended me. It is ludicrous to think I would, & is not the case at all.....& I would hope & like to think the same would apply were the roles reversed S. One of the problems with a thread like this one is that it has become so entangled that it is often difficult to know who actually what wrote which words. Bah! I have completely run out of sympathy for Sheelagh on this issue. She seems to run into this problem almost on a daily basis. Above, she is responding to comments directed not toward her, but toward her fellow babbling Brit, Ms. Bookie. The solution is to GET A DECENT NEWSREADER. I am trying out the newest version of Forte Agent, which will cost US$29 if I decide to keep it past the trial period. Another option is Gravity, which doesn't cut the mustard for binary groups but is good enough for general use in discussion groups, and is free to download and use forever. Either would be a huge improvement compared with Google's web interface. Charlie |

No you never said anything about that I never said you did but calling the country I live in F@cked up when just this a short time ago on air a news reporter from your own country did this. That is more F@cked up than I have seen in a long time. It's only one of many ****ed up things about Britain. The reason Bookie can't get any bone is because she lives in a place where the men go down to the sea with their cabin boys. Charlie |

It prompted Maggie Thatcher to say "Great Britain is Great Again." That line was good for some laughs here in the U.S., where we have a _real_ navy to talk about. Charlie |

No, you didn't say anything about it, and Matthew didn't say that you did. He said that he saw that story, shortly before reading the latest of your rants about how awful America is--and the incongruity struck him quite hard. Here's the story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/entertainment/6703423.stm The idiot in question is a performance artist, not a reporter. He claims to be a vegetarian. Ate the dog in "protest" against fox hunting, because it's the Queen's favorite breed. Lis |

How can you call Bookie for what she has to say when you are doing exactly the same thing? Personally, I don't care if you think we are all like that, because I know better. I don't "hate you" because you come from somewhere different than I do - & nor do I tar you with the same brush as someone who has made very disparaging remarks about me, or the country I live in, simply because that someone comes from the USA either...... My point here is that we are all different & most of us have differing views on things, but that is not a good reason to class everyone as the same as the person who might have offended you. Mary just has a better way of saying it than I do) S;o)- Hide quoted text - Take a Midol or something would you and get over it. It is getting boring already- Hide quoted text - No it is a pill to get over your PMS that you seem to be having for the last week - I have a feeling that it is nothing to do with PMs. It's more to do with berating everyone who acts that way, rather than just the British ones Matthew, my friend... Do you think I might be right? S. Might be but no reason to take it out on all of us and group us in a hate mongrel group But since it has been going on for less than a week I am leaning towards the needing of Midol- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - i don't get PMS, just irked by cretinous yanks who can't admit to the flaws in their own country You are acting like it Yes every country is screwed up specially this one but ain't that the pot calling the kettle black for the rest of it You are old enough to know better to know that sex, politics and religion should never even be discussed among friends unless you want to make enemies with every word that is typed or spoken Now get over it and move on for your country is just f@cked up as the one I live in as everyone else's is.

Lets every one end this BS and get over it for the trolls are circling and enjoying the spectacle- Matthew, I can't remember saying anything offensive to anyone here...yet which ever post I go to, I find what I have said typed there. I have sniped the quotes to show you exactly what I said, & who to as well...... Sheelagh, the irritation that Matthew, I, and others have been expressing has been pretty explicitly directed at Bookie and her periodic, unprompted anti-American rants. Not at you. ( the only bit I didn't snip was the conversation between yourself & Bookie, because that was relevant to this post, because you both contributed to it in this particular post)....... The words Pot calling the kettle black is one of my most often stated comments, because quite often I don't feel that I do have the right to call anyone else names, because I am guilty of it myself...Yet, as I read through most peoples posts, I am finding myself quoted in almost every post about this issue. I don't recall bringing politics, religion, or sex into this issue. The only recollection I have, was a comment I made about our own leader, Tony Blair in the UK..(who I didn't vote for & dislike him for who he is & his values... nothing else!!)..... I have read & re read everything I typed again & again, but I still can't find anything that I consider derogatory in my post, to warrant quoting me as doing any of the activities to which I seem to be accused of. I have already apologized to MaryL, for not clarifying what I meant when I said that I was shocked that there was no help for any pets in need of emergency care, & explained exactly what I meant through my own research.( I will go back and number the posts that I mean after this post, so that you can check for yourself mate).... The only thing that I can think of is that I am in hot water for trying to diffuse the bad feeling between Fred & Bookie..I have inspected it again & all I can see are a few questions that were aimed at trying to say, we all have differing opinions, & that you can't blame someone else for what someone else thinks & feels....(ie: if that is how Bookie feels, then it is- there is nothing I can do to change her mind..) We all have our own values, & I believe that we have differing opinions on certain subjects. If I have a problem then it is "my" problem to sort out with the person concerned..Not Bookie's if you see what I mean? I also stated that I didn't think PMS was Bookies problem in this instance. Rather it was more to do with personal values. If you wish to contact me personally, I would be only too happy to explain it to you. I have no intention of dragging the group down any further!! I very much hope that this explains some of the questions left hanging, & would much prefer that we get away from this subject ASAP...... No, Bookie's problem is that she's a bigot, that's all. PMS may or may not be a factor in particular irruptions of it. Please read my words carefully, because they were not said to offend anyone..Far from it..I was trying to point out that I don't judge everyone by the worst person I know from the same country, as someone who might have offended me. It is ludicrous to think I would, & is not the case at all.....& I would hope & like to think the same would apply were the roles reversed Um. Sheelagh. You don't. Bookie does. Lis |

Score = -1 This person deserves to be treated cruelly. They let their cat fall out of a third story window, saw that it was severely injured and waited until the next day to take it to the vet. Furthermore, they are hanging on to their cat as if it is somehow a piece of the brother they lost. Someone should rescue this feline.

Lis never saw this particular report, but then i never said that britain was perfect , far from it, i said that in britain we accept and admit to our countries flaws, so if it happened it happened,. doesn't mean to say i supported it or that the majority of the british people supported it either so what was his point? |
