I don't want to see that mad sod back here, if he gets on a boat I hope they dump him in the sea.

Yep the Brits could have towed him a 1000ft behind in a dingy but that would have been tasking even the most charitable country.
What a loser trying to hitch a ride from a country he turned his back on. |

Hey red, if you don't care one way or the other then why exactly are you attacking evrybody for their opinion of this man when you state that you prefer to be oblivious to the situation?
And regarding Democracy: Democracy gives us freedoms that no other government has granted to the citizens at large before (other than being a hermit, in which you decide EVERYTHING by yourself...the con is that you have to provide everything for yourself too, that gets tiring). Democracy also sets boundaries, and those boundaries are generally not unreasonable, but in fact desireable: The following is forbidden: -Murder -Theft (in any way shape or form) -Rape -Being a troll (not really forbidden but we counter this with courtesy and politeness) -Lying in order to gain something that isn't yours or lying in a court of law -Misappropriation of public/government fund or branches or misuse of power -The violation of law (whether just or unjust is something of another issue but one of great importance) The following is encouraged in Democracy: -Voting (I've lost faith in this one since I have no idea who I'm voting for since everyone takes off the mask once they're in office) -Freedom of speech (as pursuant to law, which is really based on whether or not it is just or unjust) -Obeying the law and contributing to the safety of the community Now this is where all the sh*t hits the fan. All this can only work if the people who are walking and living within the boundaries of the law, have good enough morals and have their head on straight will be able to make this system work, while still providing freedoms granted by the democracy they live within. Those kind of people all dissapeared about 50 years ago. I know I'm leaving my post off at an odd point but I'm tired now and I'll finish it later.

first of all, i'm not attacking anyone... second, i never said the Brits had any responsibility to do anything... that is all from your own imaginations... read again what i said, and stop putting words in my mouth...
if anything, i merely present you with the truths... clear, clean, concise, objective... you are the ones who want to claim to be so civilized... you are the ones who hold yourselves in such high moral esteem... it's your call as to what you would do... i'm over here... i'm not involved... i remember the same sorta crap from you people when the bombs were going off in the UK, and the police shot this poor guy... everyone jumped up to defend the cops shooting him... mainly because the guy was different... i told you, before the facts were even revealed, that maybe this guy just didn't pay his back alimony or something... but every one of you saw terrorists in the bushes... shoot em all, let god sort it out... well... you're pretty much doing the same thing here... most of you have never been in the middle east... most of you don't know jack about the cultures there... the least most of you could do would be to give this fool the basic rights your own society gaurantees... noone said you had to take him seriously... noone said you had to listen... it just surprises me... that lil ole me, the less civilized amongst you, would be amongst the minority here that would allow this fool his right to speak his mind freely, in a so called free democracy... without making him pay for what he said possibly with his life... its so easy for you to deny the basic freedoms to someone else... whether they be right or wrong, or what they say be popular or unpopular... go ahead... 1937 Bavaria... amazing how quickly the lessons history has taught us are forgotten... to live in a democracy and to safeguard the very tenets of that democracy, requires strong people... people who do not fear the truth... people who do not fear the words of others... you lot obviously are not cut from that cloth... fortunately, others are there to secure for you, the very freedoms and rights you would deny others... lets hope you always are on the popular side of the opinion pole... that you never come down with leprosy of being the unpopular minority... --Mike Last edited by Gizzmoe; 07-24-06 at 09:11 PM. |
