Anyway I'm in Wales at HRH 10 so from now it's Rock all the way to Sunday
HTH

 

- Wait for the whiny b@stards that lost to demand a re-vote

 

Seek electoral reform to ensure that the same mistakes can't happen again.
Seek to highlight the lies and misinformation that was used to gain the marginal victory
Seek to punish those who openly lied and deliberately and clearly attempted to illegally incite hatred.

 

Point one agree / let's vote on it
Point too / agree on both sides - 1 mil is not marginal
Point tree / agree especially those who seek to carry on vilifying those who chose to vote one way rather than tother
Point 7 your a knob
HTH **** lips

 

I was talking about trump. Let's be right,anyone who voted for him is a complete knob. Everyone keeps saying it was a choice between him and Hillary, well it wasn't was it. There were far more candidates offering a wide variety of options, the fact that trump became the chosen nominee and then the president says a lot to me.

 

Ok then let's be fair
There were other people to vote for , but ,
It was a contest of too ( )
Why throw your vote away on a never was and let someone you don't want in power.
Einsteins theory of madness
Keep doin the Same ****
And expect the outcome to be different
People are ****ed off of not being heard here and abroad
Make a stand , if it doesn't work out vote someone else in
Democracy
People need to deal with it
HTH

 

Do you know them all personally? Maybe you should listen to some of the reasons given by some who voted for him, some who have lost everything, including hope, over the last ten years or so. Some who haven't had a pay rise since 1999.

Some may have had sinister reasons for voting for him but a lot of voters wanted change and rightly or wrongly saw him as the best opportunity to change things. Does this make them complete knobs? I certainly don't think so.

 

BTW that wasn't Einstein's theory. It is often attributed to him, but also Mark Twain and Benjamin Franklin. However, the earliest known reference is from 1980 - 25 years after Einstein died...

 

keep calling people knobs,thick,fcukin slack,racist etc etc is only going to alienate them even more.

Must be another lie then according to you
Read point no 4 of op

 

Just because you read it on the Internet doesn't mean that it is true.

It is a very common misconception that Einstein said it - nobody can actually attribute it to him though - either from a written document or a speech. Like I said, the earliest known recorded use of it dates to an AA pamphlet from about 25 years after his death. It is also attributed to at least two more famous people from the 18th century (Mark Twain and Benjamin Franklin), but again no actual evidence. Rita Mae Brown definitely used it in the novel "Sudden Death" which was published in the early 80s, but the pamphlet predates it by a few years.

Hillary using the word 'deplorables' probably didn't do her any good . I don't think she had the slightest inkling that she could lose ( she was in good company though , neither did I ) and probably wouldn't have said it had she known she was in close race .

 

Looks like the op has been reading the BBC website. On dangerous ground there, that could be seen as being ideologically suspect to his fellow political travellers.

 

Yep , pulled it off there which is unusual cos both the BBC and Sky have been so biased it's been unbelievable

Hayseed Dixie on nar

 

Must admit. It's only in the last twenty years that I've ever heard anyone attributing this particular quote to Einstein. I've seen it mainly in advertising pitches (in business) so maybe I'm a bit disaffected and that's why I think the Einstein attribution is something that's made up to give gravity - but is actually ********.
