    Backroom latest - it's pretty boring now. Losing Bush took some of the air out of the discussion. Tribesman left, so we no longer have someone who will call BS on just about everyone. Quality of discussion has diminished, but that could just be because there's not much to discuss.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Well, it's a 4th declension noun, so if you want to be really proper about it, the plural would be 'fetus.'

    Shoot, reading this thread made me sad. I wish I was here when apparently all the good posters were still posting.

    That's partly true but I think the average age was a bit higher and thus more knowledge and experience were present. Or maybe just more bias, depends on your point of view.

    That's going to need some evidence. Many of the more frequent posters in earlier times were punks, just as now. The main difference is that in earlier times you had no earlier Backroom to compare to.

    First off, nice selective quoting, without the next sentence. And secondly, you call me a punk? Not that I was here from the beginning, but...
    That there was no earlier Backroom to compare to back then does not make the comparison we can make now invalid.

    Your turn.
