    The problem with JW's is that they are so intractible - on the surface, that is. Wish Friday a good-night, decide to make another post before you retire, and, BANG! you are now a liar 'cos you did not do what you said you were going to do, ie you were not tucked up a-beddy-byes like what you said you would be. You are now labelled for ever as a liar simply because you changed your mind.

    Of course, there are people who change their minds over the most trivial things, such as claiming that the End Of The World would happen in 1975, however be re-assured to note that these people were not lying, no, they were just dishing out food at the proper time.

    The real liars in the World today are, apparently, people like me. You see, I have, in adapting to circumstances over the last week, changed my mind on a few issues. I would point out that I have changed my mind as to whether it's OK to say "Fuck" or not. Weight of opinion from many posters has convinced me that I have something of a hang-up with regard to upholding the practise of good manners.

    If I re-read the post, I make mention of protecting the ladies, not putting such words in print, how offensive I find the Fuck word, blah blah blah, and I have come to realise that my problem with the word is just that, It's MY PROBLEM! I'm just hung up on a manners thing, which was imprinted into me by my conservative British upbringing.

    So, I just want to say, officially, that I now feel that the "Fuck" word does indeed have it's place as a means of expressing oneself where nothing else will suffice.

    Ladeez and Gentlemen, I have changed my mind on the weight of the evidence before me!

    Who is now going to say that this has made me into a liar?

    My regard for you has just made a jump of exponential proportions.

    Hi Eman,

    No, changing your mind, or re-evaluating your opinion on something does NOT make you a liar...it just makes you a man who has the ability to weigh his decisions and be open to new ways of looking at things. Frankly, I think it makes you even "sexier" than you are now.

    You have indeed had too many jiggers of that stuff you drink, Englishbum. You have gotten that story precisely bassackards. It was I, not you, that night which had made an additional post after I had told you that I was surely going to bed after the last one. Sheesh, sometimes I wish I knew exactly what it is there that you keep pouring yourself to drink.

    Sober up, Englishbum, you might remember how to tie your shoes then.

    Friday

    PS> Actually, I think you were just trying to draw me out.

    What bollocks you talk Friday. You know perfectly well that my riposte about who says he's going to bed and then doesn't do so was in retaliation for WHAT YOU SAID TOP ME ON H20!!!

    On H20 you called me a liar because I bid everyone goodnight, then changed my mind and continued to post! I was therefore, more than a little pleased to see you do exactly the same thing on this board. When you replied that you were waiting for some medication to kick in, I mercifully let you off the hook.

    It just goes to prove what I have said all along, you can't trust a dub.

    G'day Eman,

    You're sounding like our very good mate unclebruce today! Sure you haven't secretly moved to the magical land of Fosters?

    Cheers,

    Englishman,

    A very smooth post, showing how effortlessly apostates can justify their selfish lying ways . I became a liar when I left the 'truth', and forever a damned liar by leaving with a sackful of disagreements with the 'truth'.

    Of course, there are people who change their minds over the most trivial things, such as claiming that the End Of The World would happen in 1975, however be re-assured to note that these people were not lying, no, they were just dishing out food at the proper time.
