Romney is like the Morman George W Bush, except without that slight radiance of innocence that comes with being stupid that Bush Junior had.

Sage.

Nice. I might have to nick that.

Since when was there a time limit on editing posts? Just realised I spelt Mormon wrong.....

by skully Wed 19 Sep 2012, 04:32

Always been a limit (30 minutes, I think - or is it 10 mins? columbo

). Many times I have looked back at hastily banged out stuff, only to be too slow to edit my WTAASs. Very Happy

I don't think there's always been a limit. Didn't Zim keep editing the title of his Victoria bushfires thread to keep up with the updated body count?

Depressing example, I know.

I think we had this Q before and Dello confirmed there had always been a limit. Maybe you retain thread title editing rights if you are the topic starter.

And that sounds like the sort of classy thing the crazy Wozzie would do.

Nup, just check a couple of recent threads I started, and no option to edit.

Totally correct. I can remember Dello and I being the only ones online (a Saturday morning?) and we discussed it. He was playing with the time settings as we were talking.

Nicely cleared up.

Yes, "Palestinians don't want peace" is a clear no-no and totally untrue. Everyone knows how moderate and peace-loving the Palestinians are.

Sarcasm accepted, AD. The Palestinian remark is likely to resonate far less with the US voting public than the "no point wasting time on the 47%" line.

by Allan D Wed 19 Sep 2012, 06:18

Except with the 53% who are paying for them.

by skully Wed 19 Sep 2012, 06:20

Phurt, nowhere near 100% vote in US Elections. Isn't it more like 65%?

There was no limit. Then there wasn't. Or was. Whatever.

Mod rights allow you to edit willy nilly. But no-one wanted them, so suck it up.

Makes a change for me to be playing with something else while internetting.

Good memories from taips and JD.

After seeing these ridiculous and coffin nailing comments made by Romney, I just had to see what AD had to say.

As expected, he is still blindly supporting him. Hilarious.

Wasn't referring to turnout - just to demographic split that Romney referred to - 47% pay no income tax and look to the state to provide benefits, the other 53%, by inference, supply those benefits. I suspect a similar split may apply in Australia too.

It is probably right in Australia given that a fair chuck of Australians are still learning to walk or are at school or kindergarten.

Not sure what the split would be for people who actually vote though.
