Al Jazeera (What is Arabic for meeeeeeoooooowwwwwwww?)
Author | 16_09-2004 | Martin Ridley

Posted on 09/16/2004 9:26:25 AM PDT by MartinRidley

Its seems odd that country proclaiming a commitment to Freedom supports the closure of the only real free press in most of the middle east - Al Jazeera. Even Alister Campbell aplogist for the UK governement and a supporter of muting the TV station during the invasion of Iraq now agrees how important the station is to free speech.

So all of you neo-cons with your spin on Freedom for the Iraqi people how about letting them watch what ever TV station they wish to switch on. And let Al Jazeera report from Iraqi what has an emerging democracy ocuupied by freedom loving democracies got to fear from free sppech

Pogey is a slang term for police in my area.
*sorry*
I tend to forget that not everyone everywhere has been exposed to teh same slang terms I have.
*sigh*
Small failing of mine.
Sorry about jumpin' on you for it.
This 'martinridley' guy is likely a repeat troll named taotao who was also taftkald, both banned, both annoying, both got my irritation level to untold heights.
*chuckle*

Boys Own is a child's comic that was published in the UK after the war lasted till about 1960.

Another Brit nitwit who assumes all Yanks are ignoramuses.

How do you think I had enough sense to pick up on your uncapitalized "boys own" and take it to Mr. Google?

Jerk.

Oh, and it was published much earlier than post WWII.

Well, he was making posts up until just recently.. That's uncommon of trolls.

You're right, it's not routine. I followed approximately 2 dozen "post and run" trolls this month. The left is really in a panty-wad panic.

Hopefully the Mod will issue a major ZOT now.

Yeah, real funny.
No, it's called 'research' when you bother to look up facts wiseguy.
And yes, you act, sound, post, and behave much as taotao/taftkald did.
I think you're a retread.
You're supposedly in college I would guess, though you haven't said that this time around.
Though if you are tutu/dafttalk, you said it twice before and outed yourself.

However, you have repeatedly stated that there are 10k dead civilains in Iraq due to the US, and have repeatedly refused to cite proof.
Something you did LAST time you were here as taotao/taftkald.

Try something new.
A different script would be better.

I live US east coast.
"Darksheare" would rightly be as much of a real name for me as any.
A name is a description of something, intrinsic to itself.
That has been a name I have been referred to as in real-life.
About as analogous as saying Robert is 'Bobby', 'Bo', or Richard is also known as 'Rick' or 'Dick'.
