Here in the UK

I give it about an 80% poppycock...






It's been stepped on.

You have a government, an army, a navy you defend the South China sea we're there already but if you want to start a war with China, well put your big boots on and have fun. We will change manufacturing in the U.S. I suggest you do the same. We provided you an alternative to Huawei's 5G and you continue to contract with China knowing fully they're a security threat.

We are committed to removing Huawei's kit from our infrastructure by 2023.

The US's offer didn't work and wouldn't for five years. If it had been capable, we wouldn't have had to use Huawei. The US kit was far more expensive and unproven. Even so we have kept Huawei's parts to the non-critical systems.

But some UK idiots think that 5G masts spread Covid-19 because of Huawei. They are burning masts and equipment and attacking repair engineers. But the idiots can't identify 5G. So far, of 40 masts attacked, none carried 5G.

The challenge was to work together as a business venture, develop and refine the product, build platforms together then expand both europe and the U.S. and side stepping China by not support their product. And you complain about the South China sea and you can't take a stand on something as important as 5G capability.

And wait five years for something?

We will be working with the US to replace Huawei but we need 5G now. The US could not offer that. We have restricted Huawei's access and are getting flak from the Chinese for preferring to buy American when we can.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Why do you need it now?

4G is barely broken in...

To sell more new mobile phones to idiots who must have the latest toy.

Mine is probably 1G. It has the capability to send and receive texts which I can't read or type.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Mine is 4G, bit I didn't ask for it.


:shrug:


I laundered the phone I loved...

Birmingham, not London, is the UK's 'Venice of the North' will more miles of canals than Venice, Italy.

Venice is, of course, an area of London, something that Mr Spearwhatsit was apparently unaware of. Anyway, looks like he has realised he was being played like a fine fiddle, and has stopped engaging with me. That is a real shame, because he looked like the sort of guy, who was capable of falling into bear trap after bear trap, and I was rather enjoying myself, tbh .

Anyway, the thread was a genuine one. What is it about Trumper Dumper that makes him even vaguely credible. What am I missing, please?

 

[SpeareChucker]

What part of my comment about how we don't care went over your head?

Who is we?

(Please don’t respond or you will fall into yet another trap, I’ll set you. Please walk away from the keyboard for your own mental health and well-being). Ta muchly

Americans



How often do we start threads about your government?
Super rare.

How often do we see UK threads about our government?
Fairly common.

We matter.
That might bother y'all...

*chuckle*



I walk right into that one!
You too clever for Americans...

 

[Venice2375]

Americans

Have you done a poll?

 

[SpeareChucker]

You didn't walk away with your "victory?"


Very Trump-like...

To be honest, it all felt a bit hollow. I am an eternal optimist when it comes to forums, that deep down, once you’ve stripped away the usual ‘let’s try and bash a newbie’ and it is shown to fail miserably, that a thread like the one I started has the possibility of having a mature conversation, without having a frankly pathetic discussion about ‘whether an American or a Brit has a bigger wall on which to piss up’.

 

[SpeareChucker]

So I was right about an established poster trotting out a new alt.



Banned or bored?

 

[Venice2375]

Nope - wrong about that too.

There are many forums in this world and they often share similar characteristics, in terms of behaviour of members. Pissing up the wall contests are incredibly common, whether it is a ‘wall’ on the Mexican border or your next door neighbours allotment. The ‘newbie bashing’ often puts new users off as they see cliques circling around them throwing spears (see what I did there?).

I asked a perfectly reasonable question at the start of this thread, would you and others please at least have the good manners to provide enough space on here to allow a civilised conversation to take place around it, without getting your cock out and taking aim up that wall? Thank you, in anticipation.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Uh-huh...

 

[Venice2375]

Uh-huh...

Thanks, that will do quite nicely

Ok, so back to the original question, please. How is Trump even vaguely credible to the electorate?

 

[Yerkiddin]

As for Donald:

I think most of the 29% or so that got him elected are still backing him, no matter what. For most of the rest of us, "barking mad" would be praise, compared to our opinion of him. Those of us who see Donald as a twit or madman and pay any attention to foreign news will likely lump Boris into the same bucket.

 

[AlotLikePsyche]

Not meant to be overly controversial, but the vast majority of people in the UK find the US President to be both barking mad and highly dangerous to the citizens he has been elected to serve. What are we missing?

It’s like Brexit. Half of us are barking mad and half of us got outvoted.

Because he told them that they were, good, great and appreciated
verses a candidate who promised to kill the jobs of the basketful
of deplorables and continue the Obama policies of economic
weakness, extended wars and the catastrophic policies
that gave rise to ISIS and the Caliphate...

And to get back to the reply, we is it that
Europeans, the British in this instance,
spend more time on our government
than they do on theirs?

:shrug:

 

[SpeareChucker]

It was exactly this sort of the denigration of voters
that they did not agree with that propelled Trump
into the White House instead of Secretary Clinton.

Then I guess I owe the world an apology.
