Maybe Massalai was right after all

[Fanie]

Masa was no visionary , it has been obvious for years

But of course Masalai (amongst a lot of others) is a visionary. He can see through windows, open doors, into clear water and a host of other things !

OBL sounds a lot like OBS. Both gives one a headache...

Being buried at sea is permissible for a muslim. Saudi did not want him and the USA definately did not want a shrine building. However he was buried the same day before sun down which is required.

How much was left of him anyway, he had been shot to the head but how many times? opportunity presented itself and they took it.

5 people died in the US raid one of them was BL son. That would have been big news on its own.

Yes we may feel more concerned on security but whats the alternative.

You win-- Get out of Afganistan now,-- today.

Now lets get back to the next arse hole on the list ,---- Libyia

Our "old terrorist comrades" government is pro Gaddafi and I believe he is their role model. They defend this sucker in any way which can. In fact, SA's president is so buddy buddy with MG, only his heels are showing....

Talking about the SA polygamous president, hows this one for size.
Polygamy is not allowed by law here, but this idiot has about 5 legal wives and in the weekend press it was announced that the sucker got engaged again
Best part though, just the other day a guy (white) was jailed for just such a (lesser, only two wives) sin of having married another woman whilst still married to his first. So much for democracy in this country, it is not color blind.....

My ability to give negative was removed. Without being able to counter the ******** by telling it like it is, without being able to give negative, I suppose we can all just sit here and say "yeah", "right", and "amen". Look at what I'm dealing with anyway "...911 an inside job" How can I even play on this field? Frosty, the important thing is that you get my message - Did you get it? **** you.
Troy, you should be smart enough to know that a devout Catholic believes in helping others as a path to salvation and a Protestant believes that work, good work in and of itself, is the path. Figure out the rest.

When you click "Post feedback" it states

Positive comments on good posts are appreciated.
If you disapprove, you must leave a constructive comment on what is wrong with the post that can help the poster to improve.
Note: all comments are logged and must follow forum rules.

Your ability to leave negative feedback was removed because more than three times you left negative comments that were reported that were not constructive but rather a random string of characters. "Because I can. I don't like you" is definitely not a constructive comment. If anyone repeatedly misuses the feedback system, their use of the system will be revoked.

Calls to revenge BL death have been heard. Strange I thought BL death was revenge, punishment what ever. Bl wanted basic Islam, the simple islamic embrace of family life with no education for child bearing women, no movies or TV, no porn or sexual distorted filth, no chewing gum and Mc Donalds, no graffitti and vandolism.

This was what was coming from America in his eyes, he wanted to stop it, he picked a strange way of doing it and of course you cant. All countries have suffered some what in this respect.

He was a dovoted relgious fanatic no less dangerous than those that walk our streets in the name of other religions in regard to world progress.

The Al quida seems to think killing infadels is good. My infedel life is no less important to me than yours is.

Bl was not shot by the US but shot himself , he resisted arrest,--they now say.

Now lets think about this turn in their story after calls to revenge to his death.

He was arrested by special forces and he managed to get a gun and shoot himself!!!. That does not sound right to me, no photo of the body has been issued perhaps it would be inappropriate with a hole between his eyes and call it suicide.

I always knew that when this day came there would be more trouble dead than alive.

Up to 5 years he lived in that house, 20 foot high walls with barbed wire and 1/2 a mile from the Pakistan military,--unbelievable.

Is it not also strange that previous attempts failed over the last 10 years to capture Bl under joint US/Pakistan only to find he was there but-- he just left last week.

A sole US attack seemed to work.

They've got it wrong. The US Navy Seals have shot my Outside Bin Liner.

One of the central tenets of the Protestant movement is that you can only be saved by faith and the grace of God -- sola fide -- not by ritual, worship, good works, good work, or anything else.

I'm not as familiar with Catholicism. But your claims don't match what I know about it, either.

The notion that Protestants are harder working and more virtuous than the rest of Christianity because of their faith is a crock.

Well, moderator, if you had a little horse sense, you would see that all feedback is because someone doesn't like someone else. Seldom does one ever leave feedback without attempting to reinforcing behavior with which he agrees or discourage behavior with which he does not.
I have attempted to enlighten and a percentage of that enlightenment is directed to the part of the brain requiring higher thought processes. It is tedious and repetitive work that requires of the learner a grasp of rhetoric, cynicism and, at times, mathematics (put 2 & 2 together). Very few "thanks" are expected or received.
Lacking the patience or the (above) required facility, you have chosen to betray the process altogether. I do not spend "all my waking hours" on this forum and be it known that someone's post with which I don't approve is often not worthy of my leaving a reason - consider it a favor that I acknowledge their consommé of stupidity and arrogance with a gentle reminder known as "negative rep" as it takes an extreme for me to leave anything at all (the system is an ill-conceived manifestation of the "buddy system", at best, and an aberration seemingly designed to squelch free discourse and critical thinking). Punching the keys and going back to the task at hand does, indeed, leave a jumble... perhaps akin that of ramblings not backed by thought that typify non-boat-related threads on this forum. I'd like you to think about the admonishment you have left me and how it relates to the one you are receiving (yes, that is what it is.) and come to the conclusion that the designed objective, intentional or not, is to encourage mediocrity. Great job everybody - (Those who haven't left) You are all winners!
I tried to adjust your rep, BTW, and it wouldn't allow. I therefore suggest you follow the road of Frosty.

I realize that not everyone is perfect, but your repeated abuse of the post feedback system such as your random letter negative comments, your comments such as "You are an f'ing idiot - Mark" or "******* idiot" or "because I can. I don't like you" warranted that ability being removed from your account as you were abusing other members with such comments. I don't

as the above were not constructive at all. Therefore your ability to leave negative feedback was removed, as it is for anyone who persists in such behavior.

The purpose of these forums is to discuss ideas, share things you know, help people, learn things in a friendly manner. It's not meant as a place where you come to tell people how much you don't like them over and over. That has no point. If you really can't stand someone, put them on your ignore list.

take a chill pill and give it a few days, then come on back. I've always got a bang out of our interactions, besides I just started my build and who else is going to show me around the fishing grounds up there.

cheers

Sorry to see you go Mark, I could always rely on you posting a colourful amusing reply at any time of night and day.

Look after yourself Frosty
