Tumbleweed Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Cheers, Martin! Having my first of the day! I toast you, mate.
cat-i Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 And on the topic of crime: my eldest son just delivered his Chatterbox - a kind of pre-pubescent version of Toastmasters - speech. It was a fictionalised account of a young boy - himself - being affected by crime. at first' date=' I was alarmed. At the end of his tale, he and and his mates were offered access to an arsenal of arms to fight his attackers. He could've taken them and blown to smithereens the baddies. He chose not to. I liked that. [/quote'] it's because you're his dad

Joe Low Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 What is the use of a pacifist in a voilent counrty???? abi I beg????? Can't fight you on this one BigH* Edit - some time later this afternoon When BigH speaks it's often worth havin a think about, which is what I've done and come up with a little list of pacifists in violent countries. Jesus & the early martyrsDalai LamaMartin Luther King jnrGhandiEarl Hickey Vexatious isnt it? Buddha then Jesus said turn the other cheek but how the hell do you do that in real life and what's the point (as BigH says)? And yes, i'm still glad the kid shot the robbers dead. Well, not quite glad, but very ok with it. (*that's a little joke - can't fight/pacifism? oh well, never mind)Joe Low2010-05-23 11:58:00

Guest Big H Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 BigH you doing the kremertart ?? Nope ..... you are saved again!!!!!!! I have to be back in Benin City on 03 June. Only here to see the namesake!!!!!
Mr. G Posted May 24, 2010 Author Posted May 24, 2010 A short course in spelling would be in order' date=' Mr.G I liked the post,I'm not ashamed to admit, but the attacks on Joe Low were unbecoming. A more tolerant approach would help[/quote'] I'm pleased you liked the post Johann and maybe teach Joe some tolerance too. The way I see it is that Joe never just made a point, he disagreed with ours and wanted it removed, a- la Mugabe.Besides 3 of his friends , no one else stood up for him while he was been attacked. The support only came once he had some friends on his side already, but before that you were silent- balls of steel there men! You are quite correct that most of us are not journalists, like some of your chess club and debating team members, but just ordinary cyclists.So please find it in your intellectual hearts and minds to look past our gramour and spelling mistakes. Finally, the reason that I made the post originally was because every day we see pictures of the good man in the street being shot, stabbed or robbed and here I had a bit of great news for the good guys for a change.
Mr. G Posted May 24, 2010 Author Posted May 24, 2010 Pity that last thread was ended because of Joe and his 3 friends' date=' but just to end off we had no problem with an apposing view point, rather we had a problem with Joe not just voicing his view but rather having to " run to teacher to tell on us" So because he never liked something it must not be there( god' s of the hub), very progressive interlectual thinking you 3 stooges![/quote'] SloJo was not as he and his friends would put it' date=' "trying to give his point of view" rather because they disagreed with the majority he complained about the thread and had it stopped![/quote'] Stop now before you embarrass yourself further. At the risk of offending "interlectual thinking" people like yourself, I need to point out the following: Martin as another post put it so well, you never had to read past "hijacker killed"SO WHY DID YOU ALL?!
