Reply to Smoking is bad for you ... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

From the "Sound Of Music": "Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start..." I'm enjoying this thread (again), and (having never black-listed anyone), will not do so now. After all, if you persist in going off into tangents, that's your problem. I initially stated that Britain is more concerned about petty laws when they cannot get to grips with more serious situations such as immigration shortcomings. You can call me

Reply to Smoking is bad for you ... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Let me just say that it is incredibly rude and ill-mannered to continue baiting a blogger on his own blog, especially after he has closed a thread. Whether I am right or wrong does not matter. What you are doing is contrary to Joeuser's rules and contrary to blog etiquette anywhere. Why don't you take your incredibly arrogant attitude, your university halo and your self-opiniated grin to another JU place.

Reply to Cheney To Assume Presidency Tomorrow...Really! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

News alert: President Cheney changes name of USA to Haliburtonia. From the Backwoods Chronicle: The President, while waiting for a result on a laparoscope and colonoscopy on George Bush, invaded Iran, Sudan and Zimbabwe. Mr Bush is doing well and expected to recover in two days.President Cheney could find no oil in Zimbabwe apart from a shortage of South African cooking oil. President Cheney went hunting in Zimbabwe and shot Comrade Mugabe in the butto

You're right Doc and I should add a disclaimer that this girl may not have been anything like a "Sqeaky Fromme", or have had similar warped intentions, but she certainly was very spooky (as in weird).

The girl from South Dakota... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Squeaky Fromme was one of Charles Manson's misguided followers. She was , as I've read, immature and easily misled. She sought a god and found one in Manson. I met a girl the other day who reminded me of young Americans who are easily misled and end up more radical than the average flock member. I received a CV by fax and it was from an American girl living

Reply to Who is REALLY the Biggest Threat to America? in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

At the risk of being shot down by a Bf 109 with blazing cannons, I would suggest that, at this time, the biggest threat to America is George Bush. Think about it: He is an invitation to disaster. He has done his utmost to make America unsafe by making it the most unpopular nation to two thirds of Earth's citizens. On top of that he is perceived as a warmonger who believes that the US is needed in conflict areas, in order to save the World. They are not needed, not wanted and incite hatr

Reply to I need more exposure. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Hi Aeryck, Groete man. Yes, you're right but the problem I find is that, apart from you and I and a few others, Africa is worlds away. Few of my JU friends can relate. There are not many "Africa interested" bloggers on JU. Let me give you an example: I have a blog planned questioning why Adraan Vlok and Johann Van Der Merwe are being held accountable now! I'd like to have my say. JU guys don't know who Vlok is, so my blog is unread. <B

I need more exposure. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I have been a JU blogger for four years or so and I shall continue to be a JU blogger. But, there are some articles I like to write about that are more "Africa oriented" and I wondered, JU permitting, whether I could ask Joeusers for some tips. Personally I find places like Blogspot oversubscribed and under-read. There's a Blogspot for everyone but that means

Reply to Al-Qaede Must be Destroyed in Iraq to Protect America! in Politics JoeUser Forums

It's not a question of surrender. It's knowing who you are up against. Let me tell you that any idea of controlling Iraq, troop surge or not, is a wasted exercise. The US and Britain will never get on top of a situation that has so much tribal warfare, so much opposition from neighbouring countries, so much hatred and division. That kind of war cannot be won. The US has no answer to the suicide bombs that kill Iraquis every month. Actually, there is no

I can think of no other person who deserves a virtual smack: Furry Canary himself. I worry about whether you are an old Joeuser who has turned up in another disguise. It happens. If it's not true forgive me. I'll smack myself.

"..why not leave the thread open...? Ok, I'll leave it open --for Furry Canary and CharlesSC1 --if you like. Carry on, and don't forget that you have wandered off the original thread about the layman being over-policed and illegal immigrants being under-policed. Now you're in attack mode and I wonder whether you actually realise that a Blog is a personal statement, right or wrong. I wonder too, whether you have your own statistics to

" Why post your opinions on a public forum if you're not prepared to have them discussed critically.." I think we've discussed them enough. I'm getting the impression that you are just trying to prove to the outside world how clever you are . Why don't you do a liitle research on immigrant populations and find out why Britain has such a high level of crime. I have never blacklisted anyone from my blog BUT IT IS MY BLOG and therefore I can deci

Reply to Giant Spiders are Cool!! in Misc JoeUser Forums

Being a South African I'm pretty used to spiders and snakes--in fact I think they're great. This guy looks like a relative of the Wolf Spider and is generally harmless. He could give you a nasty nip but it is unlikely to give you more than a sore finger. In my country the general rule is: the smaller the spider (like the geometric or black widow), the more poisonous he is. The larger baboons, wolfs and trapdoors bite but are not deadly in any way.

To Charles SC1, I don't see your point at all. There has to be a set of laws to govern people whether it be traffic related, petty theft and so on. I understand that. What I'm saying, over and over again, is that if you are going to over-police people for the minor offences why are you UNDER-POLICING the major things, the things that threaten our lives? Why are you letting people into the country without proper research and checks. See Google

" There is no logical connection between this woman's crime of overstaying her visa and action against smokers breaking the law." Ah, Furry Canary, it is obvious that you are a lucid, intelligent commentator and I hope to debate with you on a regular basis. However, (the great however!), I see a perfectly logical connection if one considers that border policing is extremely lax in comparison to "petty" policing--and petty policing is rife in n

Reply to Tell me why we don't want these candidates as President in Politics JoeUser Forums

"Don't bash the current President." I won't. Let's just hope the next one is better. Personally, as an outsider, I'd like Al Gore to run again. Why? Because unless we see a really capable personality coming up to the plate, the pickings are poor. Mediocre you've had. Better than Reagan, you haven't.

Reply to Public Intoxication and Nanny State Insanity! in Politics JoeUser Forums

Gideon, What a great article. It seems that the UK is not the only nanny state (refer to my blog: Smoking is bad for you...). I see the planet as a World of non-smokers and non-drinkers in twenty years time---thanks to nanny policing. I also see the planet running amok with crazed terrorists who try to bomb everyone out of existence---but Mr Plod is on another smoking case. Anyone for a Bud light?

Reply to Smoking is bad for you ... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

To Furry Canary, Your points are taken but I simply wanted to assert that there should be more pressing priorities in the UK and smokers are not a priority! The fact that the lady may have been charged or not is neither here nor there. She had been living illegally in a country for over 5 years, undetected, possibly drawing benefits. She could have been a terrorist. If you think that living in a country for 5 years, illegally, palls in compari

Smoking is bad for you ... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I know all about smoking. It is bad for you and it is bad for others who have to put up with second-hand foul air. It is a habit that became very popular after the first World War and was deemed socially acceptable right up to the seventies. The figures that show cancer and emphysema fatalities from smoking are not disputed. They are fact and the healthy eighties and

My list is biased towards UK comedy (present and past), but I do add in some US sitcom funnies: 1. Fawlty towers. 2. Benny Hill. 3. The Office. 4. Frazier (the very best of the US!) 5. Monty Python. 6. Friends. 7. Little Britain. 8. Billy Connelly. 9. Are you being served? 10. Seinfeld. This was difficult: I cannot stand "Love and Marriage"or "Tim the Toolman" , if thats the right name.
