I have never mentioned the words dictator or nazi but I will not say that they have not run through my mind.
In this thread alone samixdat and yourself have tried to belittle everyone who has not agreed with you. Accusing people of being overly Politically Correct for instance.
If you want respect then treat others with respect. Respect is something which is earned it comes to no-one as a natural right. Money can not buy respect and neither can it buy class. So be you poor in Torremollinos or well heeled in Banus it matters not, if you do not earn respect or give respect you certainly will not get it in return.

then in this case - by your own definition - thats exactly what you are.
Just a minute, using that argument means that I am a racist because I say all racists are racist?

wrong again, its quite likely - particularly as he was one of the founders of "absurdisum"

Unfair mike, could you not have given him something easy like counting the grains of sand on Fuengirola Beach?

What's wrong with women widdlin' in the street anyway huh ??
Nah, only kiddin. That is unnacceptable behaviour but the British are targeted when it's not ALWAYS them to blame. Lots of Irish gypsies make their way to Marbella/PB as they have loads of dosh. They think nothing of widdlin' wherever they want. Widdlin' and worse. They are of the same appearance of some of the less respectable Brits and behave in the same manner. I believe it is underestimated how many Irish gypsies are traipsin' around Puerto Banus doin' naughties and gettin the poor Brits the blame.

She's only wearing one sock.

Nothing to do with what you are try to say..but cant agree with this

Lots of people are respected without earning it, some have it as a born right and ..baby, what world do you live in...money buys everything...everyone/everything has a price....

Just because you may suck up to someone with money or title does not mean that you respect them.

As I recall you told the forum recently that you were able to live in Spain, because you had won the lotto, why then not take poor old aldos advice, (who has probably been banned now due to your childish whinging to admin) and go to ettiquette school where they will teach you basic human manners, you could also learn how to spell!!

IF as you stated you ARE alottery winner, you could do these things!

You can't leave me alone can you stan? All this "I will ignore you" bit, but if you didn't have me you wouldn't have anyone to talk to. Retired Civil Servant? Let me guess, you were a tax collector. That's why the only mates you can get are Aldo and Topper, because they are just as desperate.

Angela, I worked for the British government for thirty five years (I am a "bog paddy" as you, with your limited views, care to describe us) my income, thank you very much is more than adequate, and what's more, I worked for it!
