Maybe it’s for the better you moved here…


There were heaps of political debates there. There were North Korean threads and threads about BREXIT and the Syrian War.

They were also quite knowledgeable about the Cyprus Problem.

But Brits don't let politics rule them and they ALSO talk about lots of other things too.

The Admin there is Terrific too. His name is Steve! The only way you can piss Steve off is to get overly personal in your postings. I'm not talking about Banter. The Brits that visit that forum really love a bit of Banter and take the piss out of each other all the time. As long as its not vindictive and personal nonsense like Hoodwinked did, then you got no problems.

I can imagine what kind of "debate" the average Brit would have about NK...

Brit1: "Why don't we just nuke them?"

Brit2: "Can't, China may nuke back!"

Brit3: "Then lets nuke China too."

:lol:

there was actually a huge NK thread over there. Ask Londonrake about it.

They started off discussing Donald Trump and thought that he might provoke a nasty retaliation or outcome.

Then Hoodwinked started to weigh in on how good Fatboy Rocketman is giving it to the Yanks and the nasty criminal South Koreans and everyone thought he was an idiot, even the one's who also thought Trump was an idiot himself.

And no, they were not making comments like what you portrayed. A lot of them made some in depth analysis of the situation, and many of them were very critical of Trump too, but none were an apologist for Fatboy other than Hoodwinked. And none of them wanted a Nuclear Exchange. It was sensible debate apart from Hoodwinks contributions which bordered on insanity.

I agree with RH... the South Koreans are a rotten criminal bunch who have lost all traces of their identity, while the North is/are pure and unspoiled.

You need to go to bed!

South Korea is an Asian powerhouse, an open economy and global economic power. And they are not testing Nuclear Weapons either.

How are economies relevant to what I was saying? :?

They are every bit relevant because South Korea isn't a Hermit State. It is an open economy and free market that trades with the world. people are free to come and go, and live how they like and even watch foreign soaps and movies.

It's also a beacon of peace and stability. It doesn't threaten anyone and even walks on egg shells to appease the North Koreans much like the RoC does with its dealings with Turkey.

And it doesn't test Nuclear Weapons or fire rockets everywhere.

Of course it's relevant. South Korea isn't behaving like a rogue.

If a country has great relations with its neighbours and trades with everyone, it means it has good friendly and cooperative relations as a good International Citizen.

Paphitis, your assignment is to research… “How to remain relevant in a debate”.

You have 3 days by which time you will be tested. Failure is not an option!
