#5 Statements about big lips and people of African ancestry? I know where that's coming from. My comment stands.

#6 It was the second time this week that immigrants who had been allowed to remain in Britain despite committing a string of offences were found guilty of a brutal killing.

On Tuesday, a court heard how two Somali men involved in the shooting of Pc Sharon Beshenivksy had been spared deportation because their homeland was judged too dangerous for them.

At the Old Bailey yesterday, Diamond Babamuboni, 17, his brother Timy, 15, and Jude Odigie, 16, all from Nigeria, were convicted of the manslaughter of Zainab Kalokoh, 31, a married mother of two children from war-ravaged Sierra Leone.

A fourth, who cannot be named, was found guilty of her murder at the party in Peckam, south London, in August last year. The Babamuboni brothers whose mother had been refused leave to remain in the country were in Britain illegally. Odigie had also been told he could not stay.

Yet despite this, they carried on a life of crime with apparent impunity other than occasional court appearances. They were meant to attend courses run by local youth offender teams but shunned any interventions.

jeebus, requesting criminals to behave????

Last night, a Home Office spokesman said: "Foreign nationals must obey the laws of this country in the same way as everybody else and those who have committed criminal offences here are therefore subject to the same legal processes as anyone else in the UK, and can expect prosecution and, where appropriate, a custodial sentence and deportation.

Oh that'll teach 'em Mr. Home Office spokesman.

The killers: Diamond Babamuboni, Timy Babamuboni and Jude Odigie

This is pure insanity. As I said, we are witnessing British society crumble before our eyes. Pur them on a cargo plane. they have a choice. Deplane walking or deplane flying.

#10 Mick - The Sinktrap Badge of Honor is not to be taken so lightly. Kinda like I useta tell my web team: If'n ya ain't fucking up, then ya ain't trying. We don't need no mealy-mouthin' IBM pansies on this team, Grid Willing.

Or words to that effect, anyway, lol. :-)

#13 FWIW, the fact of the matter is that African's do have larger lips. That isn't racist if it is factual, correct?

I didn't think Mick's comments were that bad as all 3 do have unusually large lips. I would call it snarky, but not rascist. FWIW.

#14 "I would call it snarky, but not rascist. FWIW."

It doesn't matter whether you think it was racist or not. It doesn't matter whether the person who posted it thinks it's racist or not. It doesn't matter whether I think it's racist or not.

He was told by one of the mods to knock it off, and warned that if he did it again he would be banned. "Don't do that." Real simple. Nothing complex or esoteric or mysterious about it. "Please respect the wishes of the owner of this site" is not exactly one of the deeper concepts of astrophysics, right?

So what does he do? He flips off the warning, and adds that banning him would be "futile" because he'll just come back in under another IP.

You gotta wonder WTF some people are using for brains: if there's one thing in this world that common sense oughtta tell you is ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED to get you banned, it's sticking your tongue out and challenging us to ban you.

Duh. So now he's banned.

Life is tough. It's even tougher when you don't listen.

#15 Dave D, why would you quote my comment in your response about Mick being banned? My comment was about Mick's initial comment, not his follow-up and yet your response was to me about Mick's second comment.

And, no, this is NOT a challenge to ban me, it is simply saying I do not think I should have been quoted on this. You should have quoted Mick's comments, not mine. FWIW.

#16 Looks like I made a good choice; this guy's WAY too short to go on this ride.

Brett, I quoted you because you (among others) raised the issue of whether the original comment was racist or not; and my reply was, paraphrasing, that the real issue is not whether it was racist or not, but rather that he was warned to stop; and rather than heed the warning, he chose to be an asshole instead.

#18 Mick/Circles/whoever you are:

This is not complicated. It's just common courtesy. Fred and the Army of Steve and the other mods were nice enough to invite the rest of us to come play in their bandwidth. It's their site and their bandwidth, and they get to make the rules, including rules about what is and is not acceptable commentary. If you can't play nice, they have every right to kick you out. If you don't like their rules, you might try to politely ask them to change, but keep in mind that if you disagree, they win because it's their site, not yours. What's hard about that?

I doubt he has any trouble getting it up; but the way the antisocial geek is acting, it's a pretty safe bet he's never gotten it in.

#29 I'm not sure, but I think some of the older Rantburgers were involved in inventing IP networking. But of course, that's foreground, not background. ;-)

#31 Probably spending waay too much time on this trolling POS, but for someone with as much experience as he claims to have, going back to his original picture and caption, he thinks pickles only cost 1/10 of a penny. Either he has a really good wholesaler, or he slipped and hung a decimal point where it wasn't needed. But then again, I obviously don't have the extensive experience he has........
Too bad his picture never graced the side of a milk carton.

#32 FWIW,

Save a copy of all his spam. These kinds of admissions are priceless if you ever want to sue him . . .

Sorry, even at Christmas, here I go thinking about suing people.

#33 Well I sure as hell can't do anything to get banned because I'm about as far from a network engineer as you can get (marketing / sales...pictures, the waving of hands, the written word, assertive claims, lots of exclamation points... and of course the reflexive blame on the engineers and production folk for not being able to fulfill aforementioned claims, etc.)

Bottom line: If I ever got banned I wouldn't know how to get back in and that would certainly ruin my day/week/month/year.

#38 ...he thinks pickles only cost 1/10 of a penny.

All the spamming aside, I think he got that part correct. If $1.10 = a dollar and ten cents, then
.10¢ = ten cents. The notation anyways. Beyond that, he sure did throw a fan belt.

Posted by Greremp Uleremp6059 2006-12-22 21:21|| 2006-12-22 21:21|| Front Page Top

#39 Nope. $0.10 = 10 cents (the cent sign is advanced computing from my perspective). The other is as bad as mixing up kilometers and miles. ;-)

What a shame the gentleman turned out to be an unmitigated ass. One can only hope he outgrows it.
