Speaking in English does the trick.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Hawking as far as i know cannot speak ?

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Chesters - machine or vocal cords - in both cases the speaker controls what vibrations we hear.

My niece has seen him lots of times with his fawning followers he has never said a word stupid or smart on any occasion ,unlike real life few have predictive speech ,spellcheckers and thesaurus as we speak ,its easy to talk smart ,look smart and look down your nose when you have time to write an amusing or derogatory speech previously

even i thick as **** chesters1 could appear "smart" and issue a speech with so many vague words the best wordsmith would be reaching for their dictionary to work out what i was on about with a days notice and the people who think they are smart who pretend to "get" smart things are rarely as smart as they appear and yes i did know what he was saying and its not just trump followers i suspect a greater number of clinton followers would be puzzled after all they believe what either say so MUST be stupid.

the more the speaker tries to look smart you know they're trying to pull the wool over your eyes ,calling a spade a spade is far better than calling a spade a single bladed digging instrument with a handle in my book ,pray tell me whens the last time you used demagogue in any sentence in the last ten years? and bye the bye its an english version of a greek word so not reeeaaly english at all

You'd better stop calling a "spade a spade" then Chesters1. Spade is a word with Greek roots.

 

English is a mongrel language it has very few words of it's "own".

 

As for the "demagogue" word. I think it springs to mind just about every time I read a post from our very own Mr Luxton.

Fork is from Latin via Old Norse.. Are you eventually going make a point or is this just you exposing the ramblings of your mind to all and sundry? ;)

He probably said demagogue because his machine wasn't programmed for Ar5hole

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

 

 

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

I wouldn't be so sure about that.
