I must admit I haven't.
If you've got a specific point to make - then please make it.
I was personally talking about the House of Commons being unimportant because of EU takeover - the same as this forum being relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
You've gone off on some wayward tangent - what is your point exactly and who is this "us" you talk about ? You mean the pro-global warming fraternity ?
And when you say "some of us", are you insinuating by replying to my thread that I am not part of some secret pact that cares about the earth ?
Please try to be specific(if you possibly can) Frith.

If you can't understand that then you have some problem using your language faculty. I notice some of you lack an ability to understand the metaphor and metaphorical expression. This will seriously hamper your cultural appreciation.
Try not to keep thinking people are insulting you. Try not to keep thinking everyone who isn't brain dead is a nutjob. My paragraph is easy to fathom even for a primary school child. Why are you having trouble with it and why do you seem to have a truncated sense of humour and a stunted imagination. Who did this to you? Why aren't you able to interpret creative language? British culture (and the cultures of almost everyone on earth) centres on the creative use of language through various complexities of metaphorical rendition. If you can't grasp this at a fundamental level you will shut yourself out of your own culture.
Have the conspiracy theorists done their work? Are they creating large groups of young people who cannot think for themselves because they now fear everything and everyone on earth and distrust all speech. Unless it is about conspiracy?
I say this because it concerns me greatly. Some day all the perceived "nutjobs" you think we are will be dead and then the world will have to be run by people who cannot fathom a simple metaphor. End of whatever culture has allowed this to happen. Without the metaphor you cannot invent anything or think creatively because you lack the "what if" faculty.
I used to think the internet was a great invention and a useful tool for communication. I am beginning to think it may be more of a curse, if not an actual threat.
