If you had, you'd have found sources that make it clear that the Prime       Minister was not speaking in earnest and was, in fact, making a joke. The       "accuracy" of the        translation does not just mean that the words themselves are technically       correct, but also that you understand the meaning of what was being said. You       clearly did not, because you apparently assumed that they were the truth.       > > >        > > > Why do conspiracy theorists always have such a hard time recognizing       humor?       > >        > > At what point did you see the Prime Minister act like he was joking?

Just know that this scenerio       is not only possible but probale in light of the mounting evidence.       > >        > > Don't be so quick to give in to your programming which causes you to       resist what I am saying.

You have to be completely "serious" when you       deliver the joke. Otherwise, the joke isn't as funny.

He was making fun of YOU.              Still haven't figured it out have you Eric? They are mocking YOU and you are       laughing with them. But it's not my job to keep you from acting the fool. If       you haven't gotten their little joke by now, perhaps you are not yet capable       of comprehending the        punchline.               "The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding”              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
