Hey Reg, I just got this quote off The Drudgereport web page.

" ... (London) senior police officers defended a policy of
shooting dead individuals ..."

Do the London police really shoot dead people? (Ain't English
a hoot?)


I'd say the guy was dead around the time of the second round fired,
so the other three qualify.

=====================================

What a shocking waste of ammunition! The police officer involved
should be fined with a corresponding deduction from salary.

There will have to be a judicial enquiry. The dead person's family
will sue the London Police for compensation. A report will be issued
in about 18 months time when everybody has forgotten all about it.
The names of the people really responsible for the murder will not be
mentioned of course.

In the meantime, English cricket fixtures and other relics of the
British Empire will continue as usual. But use by Brazilian police of
London policemen as exemplary role models will cease forthwith.

How refreshing it is to see a fine post every now and again...

But how are they going to solve the Rio "street-kids" problem then?


Give them massive overdoses of Jimmy's special kool-aid?

think about what's important in the previous post. That allows you to focus
your reply.

What an excellent philosophy.

Perhaps the top-posters and non-editors are merely guilty of lack of
focus and an ability to think.

Bring them over here and employ them as arithmetic teachers.

The national average would go up at that point, no?

Perhaps, but, as I am sure you do know as a veteran user, USENET

ALWAYS been the documented, preferred posting method for most
USENET groups, uk.r.a specifically.

Hey! we invented the internet, why should we listen to some user across the
pond. We took care of you guys once before for your oppressive laws. Need we
repeat the lesson?

Did you not understand my previous message; USENET PREDATES the Internet.
Besides, I am on the western side of the Atlantic, and have been for

YAWN! Another 12 year old who thinks he pioneered the universe.


You act as if you haven't been in Usenet more than two months, and
then act as if you are a twelve year old adolescent twit when you
decide that long accepted standards no longer apply, or do not apply
to you. Get a clue, dumbass.
So you don't dispute my estimate of your age; did I over-estimate?

Well, the computer is not limiting you from rearranging the text so it appears bottom posted for you...

The software is not a limitation from formatting the text so it will appear bottom posted for you...

I guess it is your knowledge and skills which prevent you from having the text appear as you would like...

Obviously, YOU are the best one to remedy that situation...

Hey, dumbass. There is also ANOTHER standard in Usenet. It is line
length.

How can you claim to have been in these forums for so long, and yet
be so utterly stupid regarding its use?

72 character line length dip****. Yet another tragic fallacy of
Outhouse Express, and the idiots that use it, and tout it to be a
viable news client.
