    So, let me get this straight:
    1. the line in italics above is not a qualification......?
    2. the assertion that private enterprise wants to shoot people in the street is perfectly logical......?
    3. (and from earlier) a Lisbon Yes vote is a vote for people being shot in the street without trial.......!?

    I never said that, I said.

    An elaboration could also contain within it a qualification but my comment was a simple elaboration with no qualification of my original remark.

    1. Suspects, without sufficient basis, that others are exploiting, harming, or deceiving him or her
    2. Reads benign remarks or events as threatening or demeaning.
    3. Persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving of insults, injuries, or slights
    4. Perceives attacks on his or her character or reputation that are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to counterattack[/SIZE]
    So are you saying, that I am suffering from a psychiatric illness, is that your position?

    The political arrangement proposed by the Lisbon treaty is undemocratic and the methodology for bringing about that political arrangement is undemocratic, ( e.g. the French voting no to the European Constitution in a referendum, then Lisbon I being passed by the French Government rather than holding a second referendum ),. Whether the EU, if Lisbon II is brought in to effect, will prove to be a benign dictatorship with economic progress and a high standard of living or become an economically stagnated terror state, I do not know for sure, what I do know for sure, is that it is grossly disgusting that ordinary people should be used without their permission as laboratory rats, for this sociopolitical experiment.

    Anyway, thanks for clarifying that you believe, without qualification, that private enterprise want to shoot people in the street (in order to make money of course)......

    And as for the psychiatric issue, i wouldnt like to put a formal diagnosis on the table but lets just say that you are certainly showing signs ......

    Sorry Cookie - you're a good poster, but that's just not true. Your party did not "argue the reasons to reject Lisbon". Your party argued FALSE reasons to reject Lisbon. Your party either misrepresented, or blatantly lied about several issues, some of which have absolutely nothing to do with the Lisbon Treaty. They lied about Corporation tax, lied about neutrality, lied about Article 48, and at best blatantly misrepresented the legal position on abortion. You may well be pro-EU but anti-Lisbon, Cookie - if you say you are, I'll accept it. But people like you were manipulated by those controlling and funding your party, people whose agenda is anti-EU. They should just be honest about that.

    Well one of the reasons, is that I appear to be dealing with a manipulative and presumably deliberately dishonest piece of garbage, in the person of your good self.

    No. I have never said that, I rather suspect you are now venturing in to the territory of fabricating blatant lies.

    Why not give me a formal diagnosis, why the sudden shyness?

    I work in private Industry (or at least private professional sevices - are we evil too?).
    Im certain I dont want to shoot people in the street to increase profits.
    Im pretty sure my colleagues dont also.
    While I dont know them as well, most of my clients wouldnt either.

    Who, prey tell, are these evil ones who want to see blood on the streets to increase their profit levels.

    Is it possible, Adrian, that you are a student/unemployed and have never actually worked in this "private Industry" that you talk of and, for that reason, you have no idea that it is populated by ordinary people. Sure they want to make a profit, but apart from the odd looony, none of them want to shoot peole in the street.

    There is nothing outrageous about that assertion, it is perfectly logical and reasonable and I have not sought to qualify it and back away from it, I merely was seeking to elaborate on it to more fully explain it, as I was making an allowance for the possibility that you might be quite expert in whatever you do but might be relatively unknowledgeable in the matters under discussion.
    D'oh.
    Idiot!!!

    But what do you mean by "anti-EU" ? Surely there is some room for a middle ground position where people can articulate their perceived problems with the EU as currently constituted and also with the Lisbon/Constitutional Treaty without being accused of wishing to sabotage the union.

    You are falsifying my comments, as they were posted without the highlighting and my assertions stand and you have done nothing to disprove them.

    Sorry, your formal diagnosis is what and who does this diagnosis refer to.

    The No to Lisbon campaign will be enormously enhanced by the removal of Ganley from the equation.
