Oww I know, I was just teasing 😉

The ladies love the tight pants, and even when they don’t I love wearing the tight pants – win-win IMO. What sort of accent do I need in order to become more pretentious?

I was referring to the green party staffer who wrote the article responding to Chris…

But you are correct, I struggle to take you seriously, particularly when you wear such tight jeans…

I wouldn’t say they aren’t bright enough per see – more that they are focused on their own incentives, especially the desire to be elected, rather than the interests of society as a whole. For me this all comes down to information – and having an independent tax rate authority improves information and therefore improves the democratic process.

Sounds like we agree btw, I just like to flesh out what I’m thinking 😉

I didn’t realise you took me seriously in the first place 😉

@goonix

You know I write like I talk, with long sentences that don’t say anything. If you find anything readable its undeniable that I’ve plagiarised it 😉
