This too, from same article:
"...On Thursday, the only obvious parking violators near the U.N. appeared to be cars bearing regular New York plates illegally parked in spots reserved for diplomats.
But that has not always been the case.
Between April of 1997 and October of 2002, holders of diplomatic plates racked up 205,732 parking tickets in New York. About $18.1 million of those fines have yet to be paid."

More than readilly accepted. I appologise to anyone who's taken offense at my comments here or in the other thread, it was certainly not meant like that.
Actually maybe *some* of the comments to FMF, but I was far from the only person throwing insults around.
I honestly think I've been vilefied here far more than I deserve, which may explain any overly defensive reactions I have had.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

One day.
One mission.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave!

"Please actually read my post before replying to them."
"I'll say this slowly for you, you seem to be having trouble with it."
"You can argue all you like but your wrong, best you just deal with it."
"Oh and by the fact you still don't have a clue what my point was, when it was fairly obvious kinda proves you either didn't read my post or need to take a night school course in reading comprehension."
"So please, go away and actually read my post this time, instead of just assuming you have because you saw the word Germany in it."
"Scroll up you'll find most of the posts here by me are me trying to defend myself and make my point"
Funny all notes above the "Scroll up line" were made BEFORE I asked if someone pee'd in your wheaties. You continue to harp on the fact that I called you sexist. If I had wanted to call you sexist I would have. I don;t think you are a sexist, I think you are a 'Bloke" and you suffer from a yob mentality. I don't think you are sexist. I think you are an ass. You will remember that I did eventually use the "ass" term.
I generally say EXACTLY what I mean, and more often than not - I still follow my mothers teachings to not say anything if I have nothing nice to say. I suggest, you could learn from that.
As someone said of you in another post "In discussions his tone often is extremely agressive and emotional, although his arguments are meant to be rational. That´s a little bit frightening, to be honest, and extremely annoying."
So it isn't just me. I could look through every thread you have ever posted on, but frankly, you are not that important in my world. I have no problems disagreeing. I disagree with just about every Republican I have ever met. But I don’t call them names, insult their intelligence nor tell them they are wrong and they "just have to deal with it".
You want to discuss things rationally, like an adult, fine. But you don't. The minute someone disagrees with you, you become aggressive, emotional and dismissive.
edit: "still haven't insulted you on this thread, you have insulted me.
How's about you get off your high moral horse and come back down with the rest of us where you belong." And this isn't meant to be insulting?

You turned up and told me I didn't have a point, you told me what I said had no relevance to the thread, when frankly I was making a point I considered to be answering the question of the thread. You seemed to have missed my point entirely, which is why I asked you to read my post.
I recognise I probably came across more aggressive than I desired, but your posts were plenty condescending and dismissive too.
If you want me to start draging your comments up that many of the above were in direct responce to just tell me.
Oh and I'm not a Republican.

I told you that in the context of the thread the example didn't make sense.
If you find insult in that, and I am unsure how, then I am sorry.
However, I did not attack you. You became agressive. The context - the way that you phrased it - did not make sense.
Had you rephrased it, said we were in Germany for 34 years - then that would have been a different story. However, you immediately went on the defensive, became insulting and I tired of it. As, frankly, I am tiring of this.
So you can continue to feel vilified if you want. That is your perception, and your right.

I find you dismissing what I say without backing up your dismissal insulting yeah, saying “your wrong” and not backing it up is annoying; as was your condescending attitude that was there through out.
And yes I did re-phrase what I said and you carried on telling me I didn't have a point, because it's not '1979'.
As I said I was overly aggressive, sorry. But I'm not about to accept that 'everything' is my fault because of that. It takes two to argue.

When did I say "your wrong"? Specifically.

When you just dismissed everything I said out of hand.

I continued to argue that your original post, that we had been in Germany for SIXTY YEARS was not valid.
Your post implied that we were STILL in Germany after 60 years to shore it up. I simply pointed out that we were no longer there as a means of shoring it up. I never said at any time that we had NEVER been there for that reason.
You chose to take offense at a perfectly valid point. You chose to then become argumentative and defensive. I simply responded. Had I chosen to dismiss you, I would have simply ignored you.
I would ask that in future you attempt to respond in a less agressive way. You might find that you are having less arguments and more debates.
