Ergo... Your English is either far worse than it initially appears, or, you are refusing to accept error with the comical attempt to safe face and instead landing flat on it !!! 

Thought you know that we are many different nationalities on this forum, and that they have specifically informed, numerous times,  that we should not call out each other regarding the level of English that is used in this forum. However, it seems like Brits can´t understand there are more languages in the world.

No, it does not, actually, mean the same regardless of your interpretation of it.

Up to you!

I agree....  I respect those who speak English as a second language, particularly those who speak and write English as a second language as well as you.

 

However, when its highlighted that you have misunderstood or imagined some meaning in a comment and you refuse to accept that, then its natural that your comprehension is brought into question... 

 

... You still seem to not understand that no one has said its ok to throw stones at an ambulance. Or, perhaps you do but your ‘face saving ego’ has surfaced and you lack the capacity to simply admit a mistake.

No...  its just the English Language. 

 

Bizarrely, you chose to imagine ‘add-ons’ to what someone wrote and then take offence at your imagined interpretation and posted your objection. 

 

What you have done is called ‘Gaslighting’ and also ‘Virtue signalling’...

So its ok to throw stones at normal cars, but not ambulances ????  

[thats ones for Gottfrid to help him understand the kind of flawed conclusions that can be jumped to when exaggerating a comment out of context]

 

 

The fact that these idiots threw stones at any moving vehicle is wrong...  I hope they are caught and charged adequately, and also pay for any damages + compensation.

Sadly a growing trend worldwide, rowdies attacking ambulance drivers, firemen, etc., while they do their duty...

Nothing  new about that! It goes with the territory.  As a paramedic ambulance attendent in big-city California in the late 70s early 80s I've faced the suicidal, the homicidal and the criminally insane, I've been slapped, slugged, spit at in the face, drawn down on (gun to the head), stabbed in the back, and  had to fight for my life on the street a few times.  I remember a gang war in the SF east bay that raged for 3 nights, we had our ambulance windshield bashed with baseball bats and some of our crews were attacked, all because we were trying to help the fallen opposing gang members.  And we were unarmed first responder medics.  How the police get treated is far more hostile. That's just what you have to deal with all day, every day, the worst people and worst situations that a "civilized society" has to offer.  After 5 years of that I went back to tree work. The trees are hard work and sometimes dangerous, but are far more peaceful than humans.

The consequences of throwing stones at a moving vehicle of course include the driver losing control and crashing, killing or injuring all aboard, assuming the vehicle doesn't crash into another vehicle, and kill or injure there too.

 

So this should be a significant penalty.

Yes, it still happens in my old town in Oz. It seems to be clever or a badge of honour.

Really!?? ???????????? Do you ever get tired of using such fantastic descriptions? ????????????

 

I don´t know what you have problem with. My opinion and way of seeing what was written stands. I will not change that for you nor anybody else.

Erm...  learn how to use the ‘expand’ function on the quotes... 

 

 

 

That said - you seem to live by a strange set of rules...  some people do add further comments to an existing one thus appearing to quote themselves, perhaps for clarification... 

 

... There’s nothing wrong with that...  but you seem to think its some sort of ‘condition’... very odd.

As usual, yours and mine opinion differs. Let´s stay with that, and please refrain from stalking me more.

Never said that. It´s your words. Stand by them! I stand by mine. As I said before, our opinions differ. Let´s stop at that point.
