Pivotal 9/11 Petition Confronts Canadian Parliament

http://ae911truth.org/en/news-section/4 ... ament.html

by **Smaug** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 2:16 pm

I've never heard of this petition. With only 1400 signatories it would be irrelevent in any case.

by **ScepticTone** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 11:45 pm

Stuff like 9/11 conspiracy theories are very important to some people.

All 1400 of them.

So don't mock Morris.

It's Pivotal, OK?

I forget the number of petitions to Parliament to have Loch Ness drained & the water sent to Southern England, so they can waste more water on their leafy gardens, jakuzzis & golf courses & washing themselves or making their pissy beer or whatever they do there, whilst simultaneously exposing the Loch Ness Monster floundering & flapping about in mud & empty whisky bottles at the bottom of a filthy little lake, but they are of equal importance to conspiracy/mystery theorists.

Pivotal in fact.

By Jove Uncle Tone...... When you're right you're damn right.

by **Morris** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 10:02 am

Tone, you may be interested to read about the military officers who also question the official account of 911:

Then again, you probably won't, since you have already decided to swallow the official story, despte its inconsistencies.

by **ScepticTone** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 11:31 pm

I don't swallow anything except stuff I can see with my eyes beforehand, Morris.

I'm sceptical, you see.

But not so sceptical as to deconstruct an explosive event clearly captured by several cameras ( I hesitate to use the adjective 'multiple' in this context ), backed up by many eye witnesses, but frankly being more sceptical of the US government's ability to mount such a gigantic putative scam as the conspiracy theorists suggest & actually carry it off, as they seem mostly (as with most governments) unable to run a pissup in a brewery.

Is that what they refer to as a Cockney phrase? How does that translate in English?

No, it's not a Cockney phrase, but one that's generically British (& Australian). I elided the word 'piss' & 'up' as that's how it's pronounced in English. As one quick pithy word.

Canadians use 'pissed' but not pissup or 'on the piss', those are English English.

Bender is Canadian English for pissup.

Americans don't have colourfull slang for drunk and disorderly as they cannot handle alchohol without gunplay.

Yep, the Brits definitely have the edge there.......... though when it comes to conspiracies, I might add that some of these truther theories are a "dog's bollocks" if you get my drift.

Well sir, since "runnin a pissup" means getting drunk in a brewery and not urinating in one (and that even this elementary feat is apparently something my government is incapable of)I could see where a little gunplay might come in handy!

A little gunplay never hurt anyone. Bullets on the other hand, now they sting a bit.

I have to agree these 911 truthers are a bit out there. I have serious doubts about the 'truther' statements that are the subject of this thread. Why petition the Canadian parliament over an a matter that is clearly American? It doesn't make sense, especially considering the Canadian Parliament has completely ignored petitions with hundreds of thousands of signatures, never mind one signed by fourteen hundred engineers trying to convince us the planes we watched flying into the WTC were just a 'cover'.

Here in the Motherland, "the dog's bollocks" is an expression of admiration for something! As in "that Glock 9mm really is the dog's bollocks!" I suppose this is because The Dog values this part of his anatomy above all else, and spends some time cleaning and grooming in that region ...

by **Bulldog** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:39 pm

In a town in the country in which I am soon to become resident (maybe), there is a rock and roll band made up of local British ski instructors and bar owners. It's been going for 20 or 30 years (with an ever changing line up).

They are called "The Dogs Bollocks" and they are truly, truly appalling.

It would seem that we, hear in the former colonies, have a knack for misapplication. (Don't everyone chime in at once.) I suspect something was lost in translation (my British English - American English dictionary may be outdated). Accordingly my application was not so much from the point of admiration but along the lines of "something really fantastic or extraordinary" as in the breadth and scope of the truther theories though (like a dog licking itself) truthers do relish such far fetched possibilities and equally the sight of their obsession is likewise rather appalling to the rest of us.

Thanks for the correction. It's duly noted.
Just to be thorough: Truck = Lorry, Pants = Underwear and 911 = 999.

Apologies to the thread author but as an aside, when did piss come to mean drunk?

Not quite there yet, BJ. You can have a piss up anywhere: at home, in the pub, in the park, at your auntie's house. A piss up is anywhere a group of people get together solely with the intention of getting pissed.

So, as a brewery is full of lots of beer, it's blindingly easy to get pissed there so......

& piss in English doesn't equate to drunk. It just equates to piss. 'Pissed', however, means drunk, colloquially.

Different from 'pissed off', which means the same as it does in american.

& 'Dog's bollocks' is a term of the utmost admiration, as in:

"My new 56" plasma with 500 watt home cinema is the fucking dog's bollocks, mate. You'll have to come round one night & we'll all have a pissup."

The etymology of the English word 'piss' is probably Norman, as the verb's almost identical in French, (pisser) & a 'pissoir' is an urinal in French. However, it's the same in German & Scandinavian languages too, so I think there's a bit of assonance or alliteration going on there in the word. But I suspect the colloquial us of the word 'pissed' to denote drunk, similar to our use of 'bladdered' to mean the same thing derives from the unfortunate effect of sometimes inadvertantly pissing your pants when extremely rat-arsed. Which probably led to the term 'pissed off', meaning rather annoyed, when you piss your pants. Possibly.

OK, I'll get my coat......

by **Bulldog** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 11:01 pm

I presume that "Pissed" came to mean drunk as when we imbibe to excess we tend to produce more output at the other end.

"Pissed as a newt" is an interesting one.

As I understand it, "newt" doesn't refer to the pond dwelling amphibian but to professional mourners who in earlier times were paid to attend funerals to get the numbers up. Apparently they would often over indulge at the wake, hence the expression.

by **Smaug** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 3:26 am

I don't know about pissed as a newt, but I have been pissed as a nit.

Dog's bollocks is cat's ass :lol:

Those of us with an above average grasp on the language tend to go for the polite versions....

"Mutts nuts"

or

"Doggies danglers"

by **Big Jake** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 3:52 pm

Jeeze Louise, this is more than an inquiring yank can keep up with..........
My reference library about Brit stuff clearly states that a gentleman would use the phrase "bee's knees" while polite blokes from the north might say, "that's champion, that is." or are these outdated too?

"Totally Awesome" seems to be sufficient for most yanks although some southerners might throw out an occasional, "Yee Doggies!" which might be a distant off shoot your Dog's Bollocks......

With all these colorful offerings (I'm sure we've just scratched the surface) from across the pond, It appears that getting pissed in breweries has taken a toll on British society!

Er, 'bees knees' & 'champion' are, as class-based English qualitative colloquial linguistic delineators, a bit 1950's, BJ. & certainly wouldn't be used today, without heavy irony implied. Dear boy.

Stop watching black & white British films about the war, & watch "Trainspotting" or something similar.

I like this thread.

It's the dog's bollocks.

Mutts nuts. Hmm, I am going to introduce that into the Western Canadian lexicon.

Here is a slang expression I bet no one else on this thread has heard before: Poontang.

Poontang, I use that word as often as I can, love it....

No thanks.

It contains little pertaining to poontangs, other than those who made it, or believe the message. However.....

Poontang seems a bit of a longwinded way of describing a muff.
