Hasn't Maple Leaf answered my simple, direct question yet?

And if he'd read my post, he might have understood that a country where TB is "rife" is now listed as such and therefore anyone who applies for a visa from there must produce evidence that they are free of TB. If not they don't get a visa and don't come here. One of the main purposes of immigration control....

Maybe not a racist post, but an uninformed one certainly

Maybe the OP could try reading this - [url=http://www.newstatesman.com/2013/07/without-immigrants-our-country-wouldnt-function-so-lets-give-it-goA day without immigrants[/url

Luis Suarez? A spitter if ever I saw one! And worse of all a biter! We really need him on the block!

I've often used a similar argument when discussing immigration with friends. Suggesting that Kylie Minogue should head back to Australia is a argument people can relate to

Doesn't have TB though

Are you his doctor?

That proves, apart from having no clue about immigration, you are totally ignorant of TB

Tel me why nob head

naaaaa, I'll just sit back and watch your latest incarnation go down in flames

Pardon?
Taking the easy way out then?

Talking of which: the answer to my simple and direct question to you?

In cae you've forgotten:

Well, it's clear to me that I cannot justify wasting another millisecond of life on anything Maple Leaf related so it becomes the third member of my exclusive foes bin.

This seems to be a particularly favoured debating 'technique' of certain people, doesn't it?

Throw some general sh*t around and then, when challenged with direct questions, avoid answering.

Do they really not comprehend how utterly stupid it makes them look in the eyes of most people?

Not going to reply to that

That is one mighty bush. He's a brave man.

It's a maneating tumbleweed species.
If you make a point (usually a link b'cos he's not bright enough to think of his own) then do a runner when asked to explain or questioned over said point, it will turn nasty and unequivocally devour the guilty culprit.

Usually scrotey white teens, was walking behind 4 of the the other day and 5 steps didnt go by before each of them gobbed on the floor.

Or footballers.

I propose a footballer cull instead of badgers, in the name of maple leaf, whos with me???

Funnily enough, I thought of this thread at the weekend while re-reading Raymond Chandler's [iLady in the Lake[/i.

Chandler has Marlowe commenting on the amount of people who meets who spit, including a mountain policeman who has a vast spittoon next to him in his office.

And all the characters who do spit are good ol' white boys.

I've been a bit of a phlegger in my day.
Don't bother as much these days but if I'm off for my morning paper and I've got a nose and mouth full of goz it's getting deposited somewhere externally in a discreet fashion.

Why not swallow it, its your mucous and its not going to harm you ?

Have you ever heard of pocket tissues?

Probably not but it's a bit gippy.
