...finding out about this thread after I'd already started a thread about email and those who love the "copy all" feature and use it indiscriminately.

Two for two! I'm batting 1.000!  :D

Meh.  At least it is open.
Go start threads on

"What muffler..."
"What tire..."
"What oil..."
"What headlights..."

etc.  'Cause we could certainly rehash those a few more hundred times :)

And what if you are a white South African?  Would you be a "African South African American" or a "South African American" or an "African American" or just "white"?   

The stuff is just plan stupid and since it also doesn't seem to apply to just "whites" it is inconsistent, confusing, exclusionist, unfair, and perhaps even racist as a bonus.

Well, I'm a white South African, and before 1992 (Apartheid ended), the term "European" was used. Now that apartheid is over for more that 2 decades, it still gets blamed for the happenings today. Even a guy called Jan van Riebeeck, who was the very 1st settler in the Cape of Good Hope back in 1652 got blamed by our ministers of parliament a while back.

This is not the forum for politics or history lessons, but having a government full of idiots, that have more criminal records than qualifications, just f@)*s me off. And the followers of our president is so blind to his corruption ( 733 charges of fraud pending against him), yet they will vote for him in the next election....

Yes we do, and it is a complete and utter f@rk-up!! I do have 2x rifles though, and I'm surely and steadily building stock on ammo. Fortunately my younger brother is a collector, and has around 57 firearms. some don't shoot due to age, but most of them are still good. He also has lots of ammo. Joe public is restricted to 200 live rounds per calibre here. He is licensed to carry 5000 rounds per calibre.... I know exactly where to go when the paw-paw hits the fan....

Don't knock it until you try it but it's a tunic, not a dress.

Not a problem that you guys and girls have your side of pond but................

People who don't know the "Highway Code" and sit in the middle lane when the nearside lane is empty on multi lane roads ..........

We are only legally allowed to pass on the right........although there is no law to stop you passing on the left and effectively undertaking the vehicle the law hate it and throw the book at you with dangerous driving etc etc.........licence loosing stuff

These selfish people cause miles of traffic back up on our roads and are a danger to others

Come to Texas. Every a**hole who wants to go 10 under thinks the left lane is the place to be. If we didn't pass on the right, there wouldn't be any passing at all.  :battle: :cannon:

I think that is prevalent in many places.

It is interesting how many people believe that if they are going the speed limit, it is their "right" to be the in left [passing lane] and hold up traffic for miles.  They know they are "right" and are going to stay right next to someone in the other lane going the same speed and enforce their stance on everyone else..... and then some of the people they **** off start doing very dangerous stuff (use your imagination... lights, honking, tailgating, passing on the the shoulders or exit/ramp lanes, etc).

Other people I guess are just completely oblivious.
