The problem is Franky the people of the entire world need to unite, not just a few demonstrations in certain unhappy countrys. It needs to be a unity of all of us, yet we are so ingrained already with the "divide and conquer" mentality that its near imposible to create a front. Issue 1 religious differences! Its about time for a world revolutionary (catalyst).

That oil rig stuff is unbelievable! my research for the next month, got to look into this more in depth, I can feel an obsession starting! any other sources you could pass on? Thanks again for ruining my social life ;)
Read discussionFollowed this a while ago, and my opinion is pretty much close to ed's. Something bad happend to Madeleine maybe by them or not, but seems they covered it up to save face. They came across to try too hard to make themselves shown in good light, but never fully shifted blame on their selves for not protecting their daughter. Did they ever say "its our fault" for not being there when she "disappeared"?that would be the first thing that would haunt me!
Read discussionGBI you say after the first Boston blast and before the second, the net was awash with theories, and you cannot believe this (and how repugnant it is) Yah I can't believe it too as they where seconds apart. Am I mistaken or did you really have some sort of reasoning here?
Read discussionSimilar to the movie. white house down. made at the exact same time.
Read discussionFair enough, point taken, didn't want to incur your wrath. In the end its not a subject that will change the world anyway. {Ed001's Note - exactly, it is just my preference, like brunettes rather than blondes. I just don't do blondes, but that doesn't mean any more than they are not my type. Tattoos are the same, I find them completely unattractive. Oh and no wrath, just morning grumpiness coming out as I type!}
Read discussionBummer have a few myself, designed all by me and I would think they're quiet tasteful and represent a lil bit of me, like the "choose right between heart an head" on my arm. I always believed in wearing my heart on my sleeve per say. Always looked up to Ed but didn't think he would judge for such a thing, I wouldt call anyone a prude for not having one.
Whats you stance on the Maori culture, and Buddhist protective ward tattoos by the way, and don't reprimand me on saying its a completely different thing, yes I know in advance.
Oh well I am a wee bit of a sailor anyway :p off to my skanky yatch now to be happy with myself. {Ed001's Note - what are you talking about? I hate the way all of them look, what stance are you referring to? Judge? I never judged anyone for them, other than not liking them and wondering why people would choose to disfigure themselves with them. I will reprimand you for wasting my time with a ludicrous post instead.}

Thats a scary thought! even though i'm pretty out of the loop on this one. But is this North Korea situation that big? I havnt heard anything in our papers and radio (south africa) to suggest its teetering on the bring of nuclear war.
Read discussionJust proves that Liverpool are the most supported club in the universe ;)
Read discussionYeah Melbourne I would say it doesn't add up! only instance when justified to shoot at someone is if they're a zombie or a chelsea supporter or both ;) (just kidding i'm a pool fan just banter )
In this officers case he was said to be drunk aswell when opening fire, now tell me why would you put him in charge of such a high profile case, maybe its just to sell pappers, maybe stupidity, or maybe something else.

Hey hey Franky, the powers that be here are just as dodgy to be honest. Though it does seem with all the unfolding events, that there will be an OJ stuff up an he will walk! that's what my bet will be on for sure, I wonder where I can get odds for that hmm.
Read discussionGoodday guys,
RR they only discovered she had a fractured skull after the post mortem, went back to investigate and "found" the bat which had hair and blood on (the handling of this case seems inept)
Now get this, his defense are arguing that he used the bat to bash down the door. anyone see the problem in this story and I say "story"
The officer in question has something like 7 counts of attempted murder on his hands, where by a group of guys robbed a house jumped in a taxi (s. a version/ mini bus that can miraculously fit 50 people in somehow) ran a roadblock and he opened fire, pretty much every day exercise lol. And the officers charges where dropped almost over a year ago.
It seems they are deliberately trying to turn this case into a joke.

Thanks Franky, really appreciate it! always look out for your posts, you've become quite the Machiavelli on this site. From here in S. A this case has been blown through the roof, you can't go for 5min without hearing about it and it irritates me to no end, but then I find myself doing the same on here, makes me laugh really.
I would love to give this chap the benefit of doubt, as he along with others, has done this country proud in some aspects, so good on him.
Its just strikes me as very strange this whole fiasco, knowing how we live with crime an what we do to counter act it.
What I can tell you for definite is that 90% of the people I come into contact with, and I would think 90% of people following it here, find this fishy to say the least. Maybe its just the soap opera syndrome.

Gooday
This is directed at Franky, Mort, RR an the prestigious Ed :p regarding the Oscar case lower down on this page. I live in S. A and its a beautiful country with beautiful people, but don't get me wrong it's riddled with crime, an I have encountered this first hand with a home invasion, and was violently attacked, been muggel. But hey i'm not hung up about it, crime an violence is everywhere.
What strikes me about this, well let me give it to you in points as I understand from my S. A point of view.
1. he lived (chose to) in a gated complex which is guarded 24/7 to be shielded from crime like this.
2. nobody I kno ever leaves their balcony door or any door ajar for fresh air at night if they are so concerned for crime, especially him saying he's so scared because he's disabled.
3. criminals here will use the easiest entrance, the robber would have been through that door in a heartbeat instead of the window. that's a fact they take you out before u have a chance to set the alarm.
4. he has a well documented history of womanizing an abuse here.
5. this is the one that got me the most, here in S. A a schedule 6 offense (accused) are not allowed bail, he falls into this category, are not allowed bail. Yet our superstar is, that is wrong and makes me more angry that anything in this case. one rule for the rich another for the poor.
In the end, it looks highly suspect to me living here and experiencing the same sort of crime, yet the motive of the average criminal he thought was in his house was completely new, strange.
