Are You Best Or Maybe Delulu?

[sandyRoe]

I know there's a few here who are definitely Delulu.  But no names, no pack drill.

[sandyRoe]

Brat, not Best.^

[sandyRoe]

^. That's it, yes.

[davebro3]

//'deluded' means 'was tricked or deceived. ' The adjective 'delusional' means believing things in spite of indisputable evidence to the contrary.//

Labour voters?

[sandyRoe]

Supporters of Israel?

Another example of someone trying to distort the English language by misusing words and finding a self selected "authority" who's willing to claim the error is correct ? {sigh}

What do you actually think about the 07 October attacks, Sandy?  I really would be grateful if you could tell me.

[sandyRoe]

I'll answer that if you will first answer this.

Are you one of the ABers who claims to believe that history in Palestine started on October 7th?

Some here do.  One, in particular, believes, or so he says, the before that date the Palestinians were living in a

demi-Eden.

//Palestinians were living in a demi-Eden.//

Pity they let Hamas build their war machine under and around it!

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, why don't you give curlyfries a straight answer to her question?

[sandyRoe]

What's wrong with a little quid pro quo?

[naomi24]

There you go again.  I can't help thinking that - for reasons of your own - you feel it best you don't answer.

[sandyRoe]

Your question, naomi24, reminded me of one I asked you.

If the Israelis could kill a Hamas volunteer how many deaths of innocents would you think acceptable while they did it? 10, 20, or 100?

I don't think you answered, maybe you missed it?

[naomi24]

Did I not say it's a hypothetical question impossible to answer without knowing the circumstances?  Well, if I didn't I'm saying it now.  

 

Are you going to carry on dancing around curlyfries' simple question, sandyRoe?

[youngmafbog]

// a Hmas volunteer/

And whats that when its at home?

I would think its just an unpaid terrorist.

[Peter Pedant]

I liked delulu

In the seventies, the astronauts had their own slang and "dulu" - sort of unreduplicated delulu. It took a long time to realise that this was NOT a past participle of duloir

but do-loop

My life is one long disappointment

[Peter Pedant]

Hamas volunteer - I dont  think anyone volunteers to have the crap  bombed out of them

but you know I am a little old fashioned

or

The natural evolution of the language, gay, sick, irregular migrant to name but three.

[pastafreak]

Oh gawd...why can't we have a thread on CHATTERBANK that lives in to the name...is not political in nature or descend into politics or race?

This should have been nipped in the bud...or moved...by the great and good mods.

Blasphemy isn't helping. 🤣
