"I've constantly contacted police about break-ins at my business and never get a suitable response."
They're too busy being PC police pussies.

Hmmm, maybe that's why they jumped on his son with both feet. He was complaining to the police about their incompetence and so now it's payback time.

Just wait until she smiles ;)

Sorry about past that one up!

it's much safer to terrorize the otherwise law-abiding for petty or non-existant offenses than to simply walk a beat in an "asian" (britspeak for muslim) neighborhood. We see the same kind of stuff here. Investigating a burglary costs the city money, whereas a parking ticket is easy revenue without the likelihood of having to actually run up against the criminal element.

[zeugma]

If the word "gay" was meant in the same sense it has among present-day US teens, it means "bad" or "sick" or "lame." I hear teens say this all the time, eg. "That's so gay" or "Don't be gay," and the like.

Yup. The young folks are attempting to reclaim the word from the faggots. Good luck to them.

Had enough?

There are more ways to end the hostage crisis than aggressive action. The aim is to secure the release of the hostages not prove the ability or desire to shoot from the hip.

O.K....so the parent’s of the kid who got called a name are the one’s who called the police? “yes, hello..please send the police to my child’s classmates home. He just emailed my son and called him a name....” Yes, I’m serious....My son didn’t say anything to instigate this.....yes, I’m sure”

What is their motive to call the police on this young boy? There has to be a motive. I’m sure as they go deeper into this, they will find out that the parent’s had some type of falling out years ago or something like that.

Gotta love the way the writer refers to "Asians," another ubiquitous PC euphemism for "muslims."

Actually in the UK it is a specific reference to south Asians ie those immigrants from the whole Indain sub-continent, half of who aren't Muslim "There are over one billion of us, sir".

[Oztrich Boy]

Yes. This is how they avoid saying the word, "muslim" -- by lumping Indians, Chinese, Pakistanis, etal into the same overly broad category

No they don't. Chinese are "Orientals", a word the United States is too PC to use.

"As a matter of fact, Orwell had a lot of trouble finding a publisher for Animal Farm. Among others, he sent the MS to T. S. Eliot in 1944. Eliot is not exactly famed as a leftist, but he turned it down, I suppose because Uncle Joe Stalin was England’s beloved ally at that time."

*******************************************************************

I lean towards the theory that Eric Blair got "Fosterized" with poison. Wasn't he working on a new book about Stalin's Soviet paradise?

[Cicero]

I don’t know about that, although I’ve read most of his books. I got a real kick out of Down and Out in Paris and London when I was in high school.

He was an odd man out at the time, a working man’s friend with real roots in the working class, who understood that Communism was not a good idea for working stiffs. The British Labour Party and the unions were badly infected with Marxist ideas. He was also one of the few to see through the glories of those who fought on behalf of the Communists in Spain. Unlike everyone else, he actually opened his eyes and looked at what was happening.

England is the most pathetic nation of girly-men in the history of planet earth.

Now that’s interesting. IIRC, Blair was some kind of spook for the British during the war. Been many years since I saw any background on him but I had the idea that the NKVD had him whacked.

[Cicero]

It certainly wouldn’t be surprising. He and Arthur Koestler (”Darkness at Noon”) were among the few who were openly portraying Communism as it really was. There was a propaganda war, and he was one of the few players who really was persuasive.

Britain is no longer Great.

[Bonaparte]

No they don't. Chinese are "Orientals"..."

You mean I gotta stop calling them "Celestials"?
