self

Posted on 06/30/2004 10:19:24 AM PDT by jj_fate

why do people keep banning me everytime I put up interesting articles? I work for a website I think some of you are familiar with called phantirath weekly world news and each time we put somthing up on FR no matter how conservative it is it keeps getting banned. Whats the matter with it?! Damn man what are you marxist socialists communists? I just got a call this mroning from a Juwish friend of mine who said that you banned an important article about Zionism and Noam Federman and about how we were to support israel. I thought you guys supported Juws and others like him!? I mean you know that god is going to punish you if you dont support them and others like Noam Federman who are being downtrodden by the leftists and the Arabs! EVEN Pat Buchanan would be outraged by this! The Juws are wonderful people who have been a blessing to this nation and other nations in the world! Why is it you hypocrites complain about bias and then you shut us up just because you dont agree with us!? Who made you god and told us what we had to do anyway! This website has got to be the most fascist naziast place ive ever been! The Juws will win someday and when the Arabs are gone and when the Juws and rightous gentils go up top you will be atr the bottom! I demand an explanation for why you are doing this to me and my boss and the Juws!

"This is not, I REPEAT: "NOT", a concession.
I just have some very important business to attend to."

Yeah, I should probably get something done here, too--which is NOT a concession, of course. . .

Well it was three stoned teenagers in a car that ran off the road into a lake. I came by just as the car went under. I dove in found the car and got them out one by one. By the time I brought the first one up from 10 -15 feet other people were diving in so I handed them off and went back down till all three were out. I was one tired puppy.

Ah, Ivan, I see that you have chimed in. Welcome back to your second home, Free Republic.

The news of these penal colonies down under are of no surprise to me. I must opine they're a devilish trap weaved by unsanitary minds in order to ensare the fair citizenry of that far land to ensure happy compliance with certain regulations promulgated by the Government.

Crown I am not familiar with, as that I never seen it, but of course I have been occasionally enslaved by the deadly oil cans of Fosters.

Very bad dance music? Eek. Considering that great continent gave the world everyone from The Easybeats, The Church, The Missing Links, Hoodoo Gurus and INXS, I'd imagine visiting these tortures (Kylie? A fate worse than death!) upon the Aussie is more fit for Canadian Liberals, Gitmo detainees, viewers of Michael Moore films and the like. I will contact my nearest non-governmental organization in hopes the United Nations will get involved in these nefarious practices.

I am aware the City of Perth has detention centers located in WW II air hangers. Presumably those should be looked into first. If in the area, I hope you volunteer and report back your findings to the appropriate authorities.

That's an interesting story.

Strange circumstances definitely, but I'm sure those guys-after they had sobered up and recuperated from whatever injuries they had inflicted upon themselves because of their innate stupidity-appreciated your help.

Speaking of demented, this is the longest, most nonlinear thread in my experience in Free Republic.
