*Shrug*
The point was that the actual divorce itself wasn't a betrayal. After he decided to have a divorce, it's true that both sides got rather mouthy, which is kinda par for the course. It's true that after she implied that she wanted to keep custody of the kid he shook his fist at her, but so far no blow has landed.

Personally I'm not the biggest fan of the divorce metaphor, but you have to admit it has remarkable flexibility.

The Brexit is a lot like a divorce. It will be good money for lawyers and accountants.

To shift the thread away from the poor overused divorce metaphor: Singapore is not quite what Brexiters think it is

Correct analysis, if a bit shallow.

You know, I haven't seen the most prominent pro-Brexiteer, Loud Whispers, in a while here.

If we're being pedantic - which I so often am :)) - whatever you say first is what you do. Thus, by seeing it you can't raise it on that particular round of betting.

Look, we need to raise a psychopath who will murder God, we have no time to be spending on cooking.

the way your fingertips plant meaningless soliloquies makes me think you are the true evil among us.

That's because he hasn't been on the forums since the 26th of March.
He's probably busy practicing isolationism

I noticed LW disappearing, because I had made a post that aimed at rebutting a part of his argument (this whole "Terror is an existential threat" business) and I was expecting him to have jumped on it.

Hope he's ok.

Hmm, oh yeah, he promoted sustainable living in isolation, I remember that. Still, hope he's okay.

I hope he's fine and out there, murdering terrorists with weaponized foxes.

I hope he's taking down ISIS cells in London, one Burka at a time.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.
