The French, Belgians and Dutch will be extinct sometime next century due to the sort of attitudes represented on here by some posters. I guess USA and Canada will go the same way too someday, because westerners are happy to welcome in and placate their enemies.

Who cares? I suppose it doesn't matter as we'll all be dead anyway. let the self inflicted defeat of western civilisation continue, we won't be the generation that has to face the consequences.

As long as they can claim the moral high ground they don't really care what happens. All that matters to them is that they are seen as 'tolerant' and 'accepting'. The fact that such values will count for nothing if such countries as France become Arabic speaking muslim countries (i.e not European) does not cross their mind.

I know you have never been on the moral high ground, but have you ever even seen it?


PS: Good morning, bv. What are you doing up so early?

Corporal Ya-ta, in the background, feels that doing the "right" thing won't bite him on the ass later. It does, however. But that's OK; his conscience is clear.

Group W. Ah yes, moral depravity. They catch you with one sheep. One! And you're marked for life. Is that fair?

LC, that is a little too much reality for some on here to deal with.

Fight fair, please!

You only get caught if the sheep complain and they only complain if you are lousy in the hay.

So what you're saying, then, is that you did it. Did it so well (from years of practice, no doubt) that none of your flock complained. Ya-a-a-a-ta! Laughing

You admit to moral depravity and then back pedal, trying to shift the focus. Nice try. We can smell the sweat of desperation from here.

Dude, I tried to bring in a little levity. And at my expense. But you can't see that, you're so dense.

You will note that I had edited my post there twice. Once, to change it entirely. The second time was to clear up a spelling error. But since you cannot let go I will repost the original message.

Ah, yes. Moral depravity. That wouldn't include whoring out one's daughter, would it?

And eventually, if things continue the way they're going, there will also be no more black or white people- we'll all be sort of varying shades of coffee. Proud to be able to do my part. You, on the other hand, had best get yourself a spot in a bunker in Montana, Idaho or Michigan while you still can.
