Dignity

[HenryBHough]

Rarely seen on the world stage.

Here's your opportunity to see it!

BBC News - Queen Elizabeth II s Christmas message

BBC Video of The Queen's Christmas Speech.

The kind of thing we used to expect closer to home.....

Used to.

 

[HenryBHough]

Used to. Please consult the zone in which "Dignity" appears and repent.

Moderators please note.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Tsk, tsk. Starting a flame thread in the Lounge is forbidden to begin with. Do you really want to go down that path? Really? Ok, I can do that.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Done!!!

 

[westwall]

On what planet do you consider this a flame thread? No action.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Well, what exactly is meant by "closer to home"?

Or did you not read the text of the OP?

Uhuh......

 

[westwall]

Uhuh......

I suggest you watch the video.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Please, HenryBHough - tell us what you mean by "closer to home". I am curious to know what this means. This could be quite instructive.

Uhuh......

I suggest you watch the video.

I did. That video has nothing to do with the inference of the text "closer to home" in the OP. You do understand that, right?

Really? The message was about reconciliation and how that can affect everyone. How can that not have a bearing on life "close to home"?

And why pray tell would we not expect to hear this kind of message "close to home", as Henry indicated in his OP?

Ok, let's think about this.

The Queen of England is the figurehead for the ruler of state in the British Isles. She gives inspirational addresses a couple of times of year, just like our President, who is currently Barack Obama, who is our ruler of state, albeit not a figurehead.

So, why would we suddenly not expect to hear this kind of hopeful message "close to home"? Unless of course someone is trying to say that our ruler of state is incapable of such messages, right?

Come on, don't be coy.

Think about it.

The text in the OP, right here in the lounge, is designed to flame. But hey, details, details.

Whatever.

We used to have standards in the Lounge.

The Lounge is for friendly introspection and fun. It is YOU who are making this thread into something it is not. The post is about reconciliation and dignity, something that IS missing from the US these days. That was the point of the OP. I think it's you who need to "think about it". You have this over arching need to censor the thoughts of people that is not healthy. You try and derail this thread for no reason than you think that people should not enjoy a common sense of dignity and that reconciliation is somehow bad?

You need to go see a therapist.

So, you just attacked me, right here in the lounge. No red ink. You spoke as a member. Fascinating.

Fascinating.

Yes, I did. You deserved it. Why do you feel the need to censor people? I would love to move our discussion out of the Lounge and leave the OP here, but I don't know how to! But this OP is fine, it is you who are making it into something it is not.

 

[HenryBHough]

Reconciliation for things like the racial and religious divisions being fanned in so many places.
Not just in America.
Worldwide.
Dignity.
It's what's missing.

I find a lot of validity in that statement.

It's within the rules to dispute the rules with a mod within a thread?

Technically, no. But I'm a lenient Mod. I do find it amusing that when Stat breaks the rules he runs to cereal_killer to tell on me. That I find pretty amusing.

 

[william the wie]

I've actually reported an administrator once on another board, even he agreed with me but arguing and being a volunteer mod to a mod is a new one on me.
