We were wrong, we were wrong
but so young & so very in lo-o-ove.
That boozy English day at the Brighton Race Courses.

In a discussion about prescription glasses:

Yes, you can buy $20 magnifying reading glasses without a prescription at the local drugstore. Thank you for your contribution. Which is NOT about reading glasses. Which you can tell because we’re talking about prescription glasses.
And getting snippy in a thread about logic puzzles.
There’s a good joke about being totally unaware of the irony of disagreeing/not understanding the logic of a logic puzzle, but I’m too tired to make it.
I did like this response:
So, there’s an honest to goodness mathematician who is patiently explaining the logic of the solution, and your response is to get passive aggressive?
I do so love :rolleyes: people who claim its the rest of the world at fault when they’re the only ones who don’t get it.
I worked with someone like that. She once stopped by another co-worker’s place and was going on how she didn’t understand why everywhere she worked, there were people “out to diminish her”.
The co-worker’s boyfriend then commented: “If there a problem with every person you work with and at every place you’ve been, maybe the problem is you”.
Said boyfriend was then kicked underneath the table by co-worker.
If he’s ever going to admit to being wrong, this seems like a great opportunity.
Or not. Just a restatement of the solution presented in umpteen versions from the very start of the thread.
Why, Goebbels and the Nazis were ok with the Jews don’t you know? They were in favor of Zionism too and even gave medals to several Jewish soldiers in the Wehrmacht! (And those few soldiers make a division for the one being pitted here)

That Goebbels and the Nazis were counteracting the bad press that was getting worse for the Jews and that the Jews in the army survived because they denied who their parents were or falsified their records is not important for jezzaOZ.
Not hard to imagine the wells of information jezzaOZ is using.
