They think they do Oakdale but in practice they often have to fight for what has been stumped into them from earliest school. Time after time there have been cases for people being hemmed in, persecuted and the rights enshrined in that constitution are not as practical as they were brained into. It must be damn awful for peole to relapse they have been hoodwinked.

A "better" indictment of the Scots system of education and government could not have been made…

It would seem spamming this crap on forums is a good way to get raided, if you're actually selling fake passports or not :p Fucking genius.

I wonder how many people, not the slightest interested in a fake document, would visit the site out of curiosity.
I wonder what dire consequences would ensue.
I won't be trying it.

No such host.

I believe it's an initial spam test (a feeling out process), which depending on it's criteria & outcomes may just be the precursor of
"fun to come".

I didn't bother to check before, but Smiley's assessment seems to be correct.

Would you like to re-load?

BTW: What did I miss? How did we jump from RJ and me sparring to spam and sites offering bogus passports?

I hate to admit it — but I've seen such frequently in store signage and public notices. I'd like to -since I've been in California for decades, where many are Spanish-speakers first and English-speakers little to none…say that it is the fault of foreigners. But it ain't. I remember the same patterns in New England, where I grew up.
It's part of the language.

I'm particularly and persistently interested in punctuation. (I use it often oddly…) But it's not "the hill I want to die on…"
