Well, allow me to accept this apology on their behalf. When it is time for payment, I will be changing my nationality from Nigerian to African American. grin grin grin

The private transport sector pays the military and police transport bills - a neat costcutting exercise by the Nigerian government grin grin. I am sure that it has become official policy for uniformed men to hijack private transport. Lets call it an indirect tax since most of the taxi/bus drivers don't pay tax anyway.
Sports › Re: Which Sport Best Measures A Players Athleticism? by Ibime(m): 12:55am On Sep 03, 2008
Decathlon and Heptathlon are not sports but combination of sports so rule that out.

Swimming and track athletics depends on the distance. While they tests your cardiovascular and muscular fitness, they do not test much else.

Boxing is obviously number one.

Take any weight from cruiserweight downwards. You have to be as fit as a MOFO.

It tests endurance, speed, agility, flexibility, strength, lateral, forward and backward movement. It puts severe pressure on the waist as you try to move your head. Neck muscles are also used to keep your opponent from gaining advantage in a clinch. It also tests strongness of chin - and the ability to keep moving even when your brain is befuddled from punches. It is easy to be athletic when your mind is clear. Lets see if you can be athletic when your brain has turned to mush. Footballers always take break and lie down whenever they receive a hit to the head. Boxers have to keep moving.

Rugby takes too many breaks for the scrum. I have played Rugby at school. You only play in bursts, not running all the time. Even when a player has the ball, you see his teammates standing just behind as they cannot run ahead of him. The ball is then passed from left to right along a straight line. Many Rugby players have small pot belly  grin grin grin

Politics › Re: Post Foreign Views On McCain-Palin's Chances by Ibime(m): 3:22pm On Sep 02, 2008
Foreign views on McCain? How about this:


Meanwhile, Mr Obama, the only consistent opponent of the Iraq war in the race for the presidency, commands a clear lead. He is especially popular in Italy, where a remarkable 70 per cent would vote for him if they could.

In France, historically the European country with the strongest anti-American sentiment, 65 per cent would back Mr Obama. In Germany, the Democratic Senator would get 67 per cent of the vote - while Mr McCain would receive a derisory six per cent.

Mr Obama appears to have made less of an impact in Britain than elsewhere in Europe. A relatively modest 49 per cent of Britons would vote for him, while 14 per cent would back Mr McCain - twice the totals favouring the Republican candidate in Germany or France.

Another 13 per cent of Britons would not vote for either man and 24 per cent "don't know".

The only country where Mr McCain can rival his opponent's popularity is in Russia, where anti-American feeling is strongest. The Republican appears to have made a striking impression on Russians, with 24 per cent saying they would vote for him if they could - a mere seven points behind Mr Obama.

Meanwhile, more Russians trust Mr McCain to "lead the global economy out of its current difficulties". His economic policy skills have the support of 36 per cent, compared with 28 per cent who back Mr Obama.

Historically, Russians have tended to favour Republican presidents and conservative leaders in the West in the general. Both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher enjoyed considerable popularity in the former Soviet Union in the 1980s.

Just came back home to hear the news. . . . shocked shocked shocked

Robinho is an inconsistent overrated bantamweight anyway. £20 - £25m is his limit. Phock him. Sensible decision by Chelsea not to enter a bidding war with City.

Interesting that Liverpool and Manure fans are happy for Man City. When Chelsea was bought by Abramovic, they accused us of only competing because of money. We were always a 4th placed or thereabout team with decent European pedigree before Abramovic. You would think they would level the same accusation at City since City are traditionally a bottom-half team, but no, all we hear is words of praise for City. This goes to show the traditional bias the press have had against Chelsea even before Abramovic when they accused us of spoiling the English game by having so many foreigners. It is well known that the English press always hated Chelsea.

Robinho deal is said to be 'dead in the water'.

Man City's new owner is said to be 10 times richer than Abramovic and will stop at nothing to get Man City to no 1.

One thing that concerns me about LFS. . . .

I watched his interview yesterday and he said he is not dissapointed with the draw with Tottenham cos Tottenham are a good team.

Last week, he said he was extremely happy with the 1-0 against Wigan because it is difficult to win away in EPL and one away win is almost like winning 10 points.

Doesn't he understand that you damn near have to win every game to win Premiership? This is not Brazilian Serie A you know!

Nateevs,

I agree that Essien passing game is not compatible with Deco's. Mikel and Ballack are vital for that passing game

LFS will inevitably be compared to JM whether you like it or not. JM also drew his first game for Inter so LFS start at Chelsea is not so bad. Still top of the league.

Nazism is dumped on the right simply because the opposite of left is right. Hitler and Mussolinin ran on an anti-communism platform - so the opposite of communism is the right-wing. The fact that right wing groups allied themselves to Nazi's does not help at all either. Again, this fits in with the tendency of the right to look at things in stark economic terms, rendering themselves almost heartless.

Phock Christopher Hitchens. I met him once in Maida Vale. He couldn't even greet. So I see 4Play reads the Daily Mail. . . . you need to graduate to The Times.

debosky:
Scolari has been just as dull if not duller than JM, the first game aside - so all this talk of 'attacking footie' is a dream in my opinion. Duller, yet less ruthless.
Disagree completely. Passing is much slicker. More chances created . . . but midfield is more porous. . . I tend to have more high BP under Scolari than Mourinho.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Mccain Picks Sarah Palin As Running Mate by Ibime(m): 10:12pm On Aug 31, 2008
lol.

The right wing is quick to shift communism onto the left. . . .but they distance themselves when people shift fascism onto them. . . . . the fact is that any individual who defines himself along such political lines is misguided. . . like Chris Rock says, people should not put labels on themselves. . . .when it comes to fiscal policy and moral conservatism, I am fully with the Republicans. . . small government, free market (with good regulation), anti-abortion, heterosexual relationships. . . I'm with all of that. . . . .but when it comes to the nasty racist attitudes of many of their supporters, I run a hundred miles. . . religion, right to bear arms, pseudo-racist TV election campaigns. . . leave me out of that . . . . also Republicans tend to look at mere economic facts when making political decisions. . . .sometimes, the human factor is just as important. . . .certainly arguing against positive discrimination in South Africa circa 1991 and USA in 1961 is a vote-loser with me. . . only in America are the two parties divided along a hotchpotch of contrasting lines. . . . .you will not find one political party that follow all your values. . . .thats why I tend to favour personalities over parties. . . and Obama is the one!
Foreign Affairs › Re: Mccain Picks Sarah Palin As Running Mate by Ibime(m): 6:28pm On Aug 31, 2008
Look at this fool arguing with received wisdom:

The German Workers' Party , the forerunner of the Nazi Party, espoused a right-wing ideology, like many similar groups of demobilized soldiers. Adolf Hitler joined this small political party in 1919 and rose to leadership through his emotional and captivating speeches. He encouraged national pride, militarism, and a commitment to the Volk and a racially "pure" Germany. Hitler condemned the Jews, exploiting antisemitic feelings that had prevailed in Europe for centuries. He changed the name of the party to the National Socialist German Workers' Party, called for short, the Nazi Party (or NSDAP). By the end of 1920, the Nazi Party had about 3,000 members. A year later Hitler became its official leader, or Führer.

4 Play:
This is why you are a mooncalf. Your proof that the National Socialists are right-wing is a quote noting that Nazis are "widely deemed far rightists". . . never mind that there is nothing in their political philosophy-belief in the free market,low taxes,smaller Govt,moral conservatism;all articles of faith for the right-which marks them as right wing. You are obviously a dolt.
Look at this idiot trying to push the Nazi's to the left. . . . the observed wisom is that Nazi's are right-wing. . . . do you think the rednecks in the South know much about economic policy and the big government/small government argument?. . . . the Republican party is an amalgam of different people. . . you must take responsibility for the racists amongst you just as much as you take credit for your free market views.

Let us look at Nazism on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi

The Nazis were one of several historical groups that used the term National Socialism to describe themselves, and in the 1920s they became the largest such group. Nazism is generally considered by scholars to be a form of fascism, and while it incorporated elements from both political wings, it formed most of its alliances on the political right.

4 Play:
By the way,whatever happened to your claim that Jews are ''very conservative'', oaf?
Did I contradict myself? Jews are naturally conservative. . . .I am sure they would rather vote Republicans based on their moral values. . . .but the Republican brand is tainted with racism so no way.

4 Play:
Is this slowpoke suggesting that Asians haven't suffered any discrimination at the hands of whites? What about Jews who are prospering without the helping hands of the Govt,did they not suffer to?
Yeah, the reparations and the continued support of the Israeli state did not help at all. Look at this oaf!

4 Play:
I'm sure that this cretin is unaware that proportionally,more Irish people suffered from slavery than Black people yet there has been no helping scheme to get them back up,yet,Irish people outperform non-Irish Anglo-Saxons in all aspects of life.
When wind blow, fowl nyash dey open.

Look at this idiot comparing 40 years of Irish enslavement to 400 years of black enslavement. How much population does Ireland have? If you divide 100,000 Irish slaves by the number of people in Ireland, you will will still get a higher proportion than 15,000,000 divided by the African population. That is not counting the x millions that also died on the voyage. . . .duh! Africa has a very large population. This is absolutely ludicrous!

Not to talk of the apartheid that followed slavery.

The only Mathematical comparison we can have is (Irish slaves/Poulation of USA) : (Black slaves/population of USA). . let us see what ratio we get there. . . . what do Africans in Africa have to do with this?

Not to mention that later Irish immigration in the 1700's made the Irish the strongest political group in USA. Every American President has had Irish ancestry. . . . and you are here claiming discrimination on their behalf. Thunder fire you!

You are here comparing the largest white population in USA to the black population. ******shakes head******

If someone told me the quote you just spewed was culled from KKK literature, I would not disbelieve. Shameless self hater!

Of all the Asians in America now, what proportion are descended from slavery and apartheid - compare that to the proportion of blacks. Drop in the ocean. Yeah, I see - mathematics is not your strongpoint.

You just said Asians are overperforming all their counterparts - yet you contradict yourself by claiming that blacks are taking their jobs due to affirmative action. Be consistent and stop spitting political dogma. Cretinous oaf!

Since you are claiming that discrimination is no excuse for Black underperformance, you must be indirectly implying that Blacks are lesser creatures. Since, these black Americans are drawn from the same West African stock as you are, and since you claim that discrimination is no excuse, we can take away the psycho-social effects of slavery and apartheid and lets just call these people what they are - West Africans! So West Africans are not good enough to do anything productive eh? Or do you blame it all on 'affirmative action' which has helped a lot of them increase their standard of living and move up the social ladder? The bible teaches me that mental bondage can last for generations, hence God allowed all the Israelites generation who were enslaved in Egypt to die in the wilderness.

Keep eating your Republican manuals without questions.

Even the free market needs Government assistance in todays economy. Thank God I recognise that no political philosophy is set in stone and I am happy that the Government intervened. Based on your free market doctrine, maybe you would like to suggest that Government shouldn't have intervened? There are many grey areas in politics, my friend - cretins like you don't seem to understand that, only clinging to political dogmas. Another obvious grey area is the overlap between redneck voters and the Republican party.  wink

4 Play:
Only dolts like you want the Govt to give you a helping hand.Is the Govt going to give you a brain transplant to make you less of a slowpoke?
I have never claimed Government assistance in my life and I don't believe in it. If you want to discuss the merits/debits of the Welfare state, we will have to do it in the right context. I am anti-welfare, yet I recognise the need for it if properly implemented for the very weakest. Again, these are grey areas which your 2-dimensional mind is too limited to understand. You would rather cling to stonewall political dogmas. You seem to be confusing 'welfare' with 'positive discrimination' . . . chalk and cheese.

4 Play:
Look at this cretin. You made a false claim that the South always votes Republican;if you had limited that to the Presidential elections,that will be closer to the truth;but your dishonest self had to rewrite the facts.
Are we not talking about Obama/McCain?. . . .Ewu!
