It should; you've used it twice in one post. Possibly three times. It's hard to tell. Comrade Graeme, does the phrase ‘undistributed middle’ mean anything to you?

Does that mean you are bullshitting to us the rest of the time? Its pretty rich for folks who implicitly do not regard the right of Israel to defeat her fascist, terrorist and genocidal enemies to be pointing the finger at drunk people as examples of anti-semitism.

I have blurted out many an unwelcome and/or embarrassing comment when drunk. None of them were racist, but many of them were unreciprocated longings towards those I fancied or mean-spirited slaggings of those I envied, and if sober I would have kept them to myself. I was embarrassed by such occasions not because I'd never ever considered the sentiments I blurted but because other people now knew what I really thought.

Have you people never been drunk? Well I have and I know from personal experience that I said and did things that I would NEVER even consider if I was sober!

MANY people. So what? So what if he has an opinion that offends many people. That is the point of free speech. You do not like what he said. Fine. Don't listen.

People from the U.S. are so paranoid they have no idea what to worry about or complain about first anymore. Get over it. Oh yes, we all know what happened to the Jews during the second world war was ... there are no words for such evil .... okay. ENOUGH ALREADY!! ENOUGH WITH THE SECOND WORLD WAR, THE JEWISH TRAGEDY..
