The following text is about private organ transplants:

Should private transplants be banned?
The government will ban all private transplants of organs from dead British donors to stop foreign patients paying for scarce organs needed within the NHS. Do you agree with the decision?

Is the government:

  • a) banning them
  • b) in favour of them
  • c) personally carrying them out?

As with everything this Labour government views everything as a cash cow, even our bodies after death.

My donor card has been cut up this morning.

Steve Wright

I’d be banging my head on the desk right now if I didn’t suspect that Steve Wright cuts up a donor card for every HYS debate.

I have no problem with my organs going to the person in greatest need – whether there are a UK citizen or not. If the Government implements a racist allocation policy then I will get rid of the donor card. I do agree that no-one should jump the queue by paying, but this should apply regardless of where they are from.

Peter O’Connell, Croydon

I like this comment. I like to picture the smirk spreading across Peter O’Connell’s face, as he presses ‘submit’, thinking “I’m so different from the rest of the rabble here. So much more liberal. So much more enlightened. So much more…literate”.

About time moves were made to stop non-nationals coming to the UK and getting whatever they can at the expense of a UK tax-paying citizen.

[BostinJack]

I heard Somalis are getting THREE lungs EACH just for turning up and then using them to inhale benefits.

No I don’t see the problem in private transplants. I do see a problem in foreign patients having them.

Guy Flowers, Sheffield, United Kingdom

It’s ok if they bring their own organs in with them though, right? If they pay like a kidney in import duty or something.

I have may friends abroad who use this website as a language learning exercise.

The amount of xenophobia displayed in this (and other threads) makes me despair.

How do decent people, eager to learn about British culture, feel?

    Despair away, but if wasn’t for the Xenophobia, SYB would not exist and offer such a great forum to combat such despair-someone has to point out twatbasketry, tell your friends to drop by here, they would learn a lot more about British culture.

    This is unbelievable really.

    We’re encouraged to have donor cards and yet it appears the government have sanctioned selling body parts at a profit.

    Where’s the money going? Making up for tax revenue losses caused by bungling fiscal policies perhaps.

    I’d almost consider throwing away my donor card excepting the possibility that my organs could save a British Citizens life, this is a really, really dreadful story.

    Martyn Leman, Wigan, United Kingdom

    Yes – as I suggested to HYS:

    “631 transplants of organs from dead donors were carried out on non-UK patients over the past decade.”

    Yet another abuse of our system allowed by this Government.
    This country is riddled with such abuse by Foreigners. When will it end? – when we are forced to march in the streets?
    We want this Country to take care of our own – we pay for this.
    We are going through hard times – time for a re-think.

    (I wonder how long this Debate will remain open…)

    Added: Friday, 31 July, 2009, 09:33 GMT 10:33 UK

    So it’s official – the Government and their friends in the NHS favour saving foreign lives over British, and are pocketing the cash from organs donated in good faith by the British. They should hang their heads in shame. After the expenses scandal this is a new low for our Government. They’ll be digging up graves next.

    A story about foreign nationals getting transplants is incitement to racism, as our NHS is established for the point of need, regardless of race, etc. Another cover up?

    Oleksandr Meer Kat, Namibia, United Kingdom

    Maybe its about time there was some discrimination, I’m sick and tired of foreigners coming to this country and taking the UK public for a ride, why not stay in their own country and fix there problems in there country, rather than come here and add to our own.

  13. on 11 Aug 2009 at 11:30 am Chris

    No, but the real point is that “immigration” and its synonyms appear to have serious and immediate health implications.

    The people have clearly lost the ability to read after seeing that word, and can only offer an opinion. I’ve seen something similar in relation to “human rights” and “global warming”.

    Either that, or they’re a bunch of pricks who never bother to read anything, and then scroll down as fast as possible so they can wank out an opinion before anyone else can get their own, similarly formed, equally retarded brain farts out.

    I don’t want to help drug adicts, or people who drink so much their liver turns to slime. They are a big drain on he NHS already with free needles and overdoses emergency care.
    I also don’t want to help anyone from the law who give murders soft sentences and let them out after 7 or 8 years.

    In short I only want to help people injured from the armed forces who need real help with horric injuries

    I wonder how many of these “outraged citizens” ARE actually donors and fully paid up donor card carriers and how many just want to shake their fists at Johnny Foriegner. Lets face it, these are the kind of cunts who carry a donor card around so that they can pretend to be caring to the ladies. When it comes to the crunch even the idea of giving blood will be too much for them

    The rather large number of people on HYS claiming to have cut up their donor cards in case a foreigner gets served ahead of a true Brit are attaining horrendous new levels of racism. Presumably they’ve realised that by refusing to donate AT ALL no-one will get their organs…so they are saying that they would rather not save a life at all than save the life of a forrin…

    I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but still…

    I for one celebrate the cutting up of donor cards by the HYS unintellegenzia – it makes the likelihood of receiving an organ from those cunts so much smaller.

    Just imagine you have a liver transplant and next thing you know your personality becomes subtly altered – you start nodding in agreement with Daily Mail articles, feel the need to rant against forruns, start to believe everything is a nuliarbore plot and then feel compelled to use RAndom CaPitals every time you post – quel cauchemar.

Seeing as Nelson can get the mobile phone number and so on of every person in the world through their IP address, surely it can’t be too hard to do compooter magik to mean that all our comments are seen but N C’s (and other twatbasket incomers*) are blahed out. The webcam idea to enable us to see their reactions is genius. They’ll keep trying and trying and getting angrier and angrier, just like lab animals that get an electric shock when they try to get a treat but keep going after the treats regardless.

    BTW, so now the government is kidnapping people and butchering them whilst they’re still alive, are they (for what reason, I’d like to know – this is where mentals’ ideas fall down; they never ask themselves WHY the people they’re paranoid would do the crazy things they accuse them of… oh yeah, it’s cos they’re mental. Durr, Speshy!)? It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for Keil Nraig – when I was in my teens I once got so drunk that I watched Repo Man on video and thought it was really happening: life must be like that 24-7 for him.

    Note: I said ‘almost’.

    Why the fuck would immygrunts want to come here to get our organs anyway? Britain (not just England) is a nation of lazy, binge-drinking porkers with disastrous levels of shit-lifestyle-induced illness. As so many of them are yer typical thick racist cunts, I wonder if their lifestyles are actually a sublime form of life-as-art protest ensuring that they are no use to anyone, foreign or otherwise, alive or dead (I’m feeling remarkably hateful today).

    Name them? Absolutely. It’s inherent to the British Criminal Justice system to face an open trial for crimes (however it’s also right that their identities were protected during the case so as to make it as fair as possible). As for giving them new identities – absolutely. Once they have served their sentence they have a right to carry out their lives in peace and safety..if there is a risk to them, they should be protected. Vigilantism undermines justice and should be stopped at all costs.

    Carl, London

    Every now and again, a post like this appears that makes me think “Maybe HYS isn’t populated solely by cunts”.

    Name them all and no protection after they leave prison. That is part of their punishment – to forever have to worry that the mob may call on them. While I don’t condone any action by private citizens I do have to say it’s just one of the hazards if you commit a crime like this.

    We should also do away with the nonsense of “cannot be named for legal reasons” when those reasons are minors commiting adult crimes.

    I would have to take exception with ‘he won’. Not having been ‘down with the cats’ for quite a number of years and not being 100% vis-a-vis the ‘first post’ craze, is this not usually the content of the first post as apposed to a comment on the first post. Sorry about the pedantry.

    I thought Beano disallowing the word Snigger was political correctness gone mad, the reason being racist schoolkids were crossing out the S. The same thing happened, this time in the case of Dandy, when Desperate Dan had to swap his cow pies for veggie bean pie as not to offend Hindus. And Beryl the Peril wearing a hijab and going under the name Beryl the Burkha was, I thought, ridiculous. We should start a campaign or something

Running the country’s probably a piece of piss, you MORON! Haven’t you ever heard of Richard Littlejohn and Jeremy Clarkson. GOD, I HATE YOU!”

    A massive army of turd-puking halfwits has blundered into the centre of the public arena and turned it into a hate-filled zoo. Uneducted pricks like Craig, Turvy and Griffin wave their hairy arses about farting so much noisy toxic gas that the dim-witted ovine public is incapable of distinguishing between their raving idiocy and long-held common sense.

    Fuck Craig! Fuck him to hell with a poker rammed up his arse. He’s a BNP supporter who worships Sarah Palin, dismisses climate change, denies Srebrenica and accuses anyone who disagrees with him of being a nazi-sympathiser. Fuck Him and his stupid low-brow over-confidence, spouting his infantile conspiracy shite as though it were priceless wisdom. Fuck him and all those like him who speak but won’t listen. Fuck all those who claim it as their ‘right’ for their hysterical, ignorant, retarded views to be given respect and a patient hearing.

    People like him need to be booted right to the edge of society with howls of laughter ringing in his ears.

    As long as people think types like Jeremy Clarkson are the voice of conservative patriotism, the cause of Britain is doomed. The anti-British, pro-EU enemy can easily cope with his coarse, thoughtless rubbish and four-letter abuse.

    Lets’s just consider this for a moment, Peter Hitchens, the climate change denier; the anti-vaccination scare-monger who’s done so much to ensure children get measles; the man who thinks Thatcher was a bit of a leftie, that Peter Hitchens is condemning Clarkson for talking ‘thoughtless rubbish’.

    Depends what you mean by liberal/socialist. The Nazi party was “socialist”. Genocide is frequently done by regimes which claim to be left-of-centre.

    When does a political party stop being socialist or liberal? Is it when they are elected? Or is it when you stop agreeing with them?

    Take this moronic fucking shitty fallacy to the BNP propaganda department and fucking leave it there! The Nazi’s were [surprise sur-fucking-prise] fascists. Not Socialists.

    If, to gain political advantage, Osama Bin Laden re-named Al Qeada as ‘The Christian Coffee Morning Mothers and Toddlers Group’, would that mean they cease to be Islamic Extremists??? Besides anything else, they were ‘National Socialists’, not Socialists. And the term ‘National Socialists’ is as cock-eyed and spurious as Bush’s ‘Illegal Combatants’.

    Anyone who suggests the Nazis weren’t fascist is simply helping the Neo-Fascists with their rehabilitation in the public conciousness. Claiming they were socialists is fucking moronic. They had an active pan-european genocidal policy of exterminating ‘lesser’ races and ‘undesirables’ ffs… not very fucking SOCIAL!!!

    The Nazi party was “socialist”.

    Only if you are from the Norman Tebbit school of political theory. Anyone who knows anything about political theory and European history knows that the whole point of Nazism was to provide an anti-communist and anti-socialist alternative to the liberal democracy; liberal democracy being perceived at that time as a non-viable failure in most European countries, whilst socialism was still a shiny, new and attractive alternative.

  99. on 12 Aug 2009 at 10:10 am Red Andy

    Except VELEZ is the leader of Colombia.

    Oh well.

    I believe they’re referring to Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela. You know, the left-leaning, democratically elected leader who, when a US-backed coup attempted to topple him purely for being a bit of a lefty, was restored to power due to popular pressure from the Venezuelans themselves.

    And the Venezuelans “deserve better.” Like a nice, Pinochet-esque leader that the West pick for them. Of course.

  100. on 12 Aug 2009 at 10:35 am The 6th Earl of Cheltenham

    Whoever the top man in Columbia is, he probably bought dangerous stuff from the Russians as the Americans wouldn’t sell him what he wanted to protect his country from them. Makes sense to me.
    The Soviet Union were “socialist” were they not? For the people and with the people. They just made the mistake of knocking off a few million in Stalin’s “Great Terror”. Erm…sounds remarkably like fascism to me. Give anyone any label you want – it’s what they do that defines them.

  101. on 12 Aug 2009 at 11:05 am Ed aka Nearly Craig

    People refer to the President of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe Vélez, as Mr Uribe. It’s not a middle name, Vélez is his mother’s surname, and that’s how Spanish speakers name themselves. The Portuguese do similar.

    And yes, the Chavez is the preznit of Venezuela, who is a genuine, sabre-rattling, war-threatening, borderline-totalitarian, oil-revenue-squandering Latin American dictator. Look at how he keeps moving armoured divisions to the border with Colombia over a raid on a terrorist camp (Mar 2008), and raving about the US attacking from bases in Colombia with their… 800 troops (the legal maximum, though there are only 250 at present).

    You’re welcome.

  102. on 12 Aug 2009 at 11:11 am Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Colombia (not Columbia) has vast amounts of US kit. It’s the Venezuelan govt that’s buying oodles of Russian kit. Oh, and they still have some Swedish gear, including some AT4 rockets that mysteriously turned up in a FARC base.

  103. on 12 Aug 2009 at 11:17 am Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Oh, and the Venezuelans are also upset about the Nazi genocide organ-traffickers from Colombia. I couldn’t find a reference for that, but it’s definitely true.

  104. on 12 Aug 2009 at 11:19 am The 6th Earl of Cheltenham

    Ain’t it great when the non-fighting neutral countries have AT4 Rockets – whatever they are, although they sound pretty dangerous to me. If they are at it as well we’ve all got no chance when it really kicks off.
    This thread seems to have gone a long way from organ transplants which was much more interesting than AT4 rockets. To me anyway.

  105. on 12 Aug 2009 at 12:27 pm Chris

    @Ed aka NC

    Well, you can look upon Venezuela as being to FARC in Colombia as Ireland was to the IRA in Northern Ireland.

    Although there are limits set by Congress as to the number of American troops allowed in Colombia, remember than the bulk of US aid to Colombia goes on military spending, even though the stated intention of Plan Colombia and its descendants was to provide farming aid to move the staple crop of rural Colombians from coca to food crops.

    American troops in Colombia tend to be special forces acting as advisers but who in fact take part in active combat operations. They have been found to be in collusion with AUC and the Colombian government in both drug dealing and the murder of civilians in FARC controlled areas.

    In addition, in order to circumvent those restrictions placed on official involvement in Colombian affairs, it’s not uncommon for private military contractors to be used in the place of American troops.

    While remaining under American control, these troops are not subject to the rules imposed by Congress and the Colombian Senate. They are funded by the same money, but have minimal accountability and maximum deniability.

    The truth is that by giving FARC safe haven, Chavez isn’t crossing the line with Colombia; but by going into Venezuela to raid FARC camps, Colombia and the US are breaking all kinds of rules.

  106. on 12 Aug 2009 at 12:55 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    @Chris

    Got a source for:

    1. American troops involved with AUC civilian-killing and drug-dealing?
    2. Where in international law you’re allowed to harbour (and fund, and arm) insurgents who operate in a neighbouring country? As opposed to that being, for instance, an act of war.

    I don’t have any axe to grind concerning Plan Colombia, but it should be fairly obvious that the main effort, if the US wants to help the Colombian govt stop drug-traffickers, will be to support their military counter-insurgency effort against the heavily-armed drug-funded insurgencies of the AUC (as was) and the FARC. Mission creep, possibly. Part of a misguided “war on drugs”, possibly. A legitimate policy, in my view yes.

    And don’t forget that the US Congress keeps reauthorising Plan Colombia, regardless of whether it’s still implementing the original stated intention.

  110. Well I see real life is a little too disturbing for those here & my previous post & link pointing out the undeniable fact that our government has been involved in massacres in Kosovo & almost worse, that our media can be relied on to totally censor it, has been censored.

    http://a-place-to-stand.blogspot.com/2008/01/dragodan-massacre-freedom-of_23.html

    http://a-place-to-stand.blogspot.com/2008/01/dragodan-massacre-freedom-of.html

    Since Ed previously asserted that the survival of “this great democracy of ours” depended on me allowing him to publish his gay porn fantasises on my blog I am sure he will be dencouncing this censorship since clearly our people knowing our government is murdering thousands is rather more important to “this great democracy” than knowing his fantasies.

    Tip for future censors – when censoring something it is less obvious if you also take out all posts specificly replying to it. Since these are virtually unanimously saying that anybody who tells the truth is a “cunt” I realise this would be taking out some of the most intelligent comments Branes produce.

  111. on 12 Aug 2009 at 5:35 pm Kelvin

    Neil, before you go any further spaz-doolally about censorship, your posts in this topic haven’t been censored. I can see them in the pending comment queue, but I can’t release them from it – only Nelson can do that.

    It looks like WordPress has decided that the url of your site is spam, probably because it’s been posted here so often, or possibly because it’s done a skynet, become self-aware, read your site and decided it’s complete bollocks, I dunno.

    Anyway, to repeat, they have fallen into the pending comment queue and will be pooblished by Nelson when he gets round to it. I fully expect now you’ll go off on an amusingly overblown rant about how unfair we’re being to you, with no acknowledgement of the fact that it’s simply that same thing that you do to all comments on your own site. Should be fun.

  112. on 12 Aug 2009 at 5:55 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Nelson should probably authorise a few others to release comments from the queue. If I’m right.

  113. on 12 Aug 2009 at 5:58 pm Kelvin

    Chris, the same applies to your posts. They’re in the spam queue because they have about 8 links a piece in them.

    The very important lesson for all parties is this: if you engage with Neil Craig, even the emotionless, inhuman box of silicon running this site will, of its own accord, get so bored it rejects the conversation. Take that as a hint.

    “Settle Down Class Professor Craig’s Here” – Neil Craig’s Nom De Guerre

    That name speaks volumes about his self image; an arrogant pompous twat who thinks they merit silent awe just by walking in the door. One who is incapable of treating other people as equals and sees conversation as a didactic one-way street. A person who can only interact socially when they are allowed to be totally dominant.

    A pedagogue. Or to be more accurate, a mad pedagogue who rants to a cyber classroom of permanently empty seats. You are not a leader Craig. Far far far from it. And you are most certainly not a professor. You run a comicbook shop, or had you forgotten?

    Kelvin your “you weren’t being censored it was just the computer became self aware” line doesn’t hold water. As anyone can see
    11 Aug 2009 at 12:37 pm funny peculiar & others are replying to a comment of mine which didn’t get lost in pending but appeared here & was subsequently deliberately removed.

    Incidentally far from “no acknowledgement” of me censoring the very post you are referring to compares the fact that I did censor you trying to put your gay sexual fantasies on my blog. If you cannot see a moral difference between deciding not to publish that & your decision to censor something proving that our government has been responsible for genocide & our media cover it up then that is your problem.

  122. on 13 Aug 2009 at 11:20 am Kelvin

    Kelvin your “you weren’t being censored it was just the computer became self aware” line doesn’t hold water.

    Neil, would you say that during your life:

    - People are often sarcastic towards you
    - People are sometimes sarcastic towards you
    - No-one has ever said a single sarcastic thing to you in your life and you would know if they did because you are very good indeed at spotting sarcasm?

    I ask because this would help me diagnose whether you’re being wilfully obtuse, or whether you have some sort of autism spectrum disorder that just makes it appear that way.

    Incidentally far from blah blah blah Heinlein is a genius blah blah censorship blah blah blah scottish orbiting orgy parlours blah blah blah media conspiracy blah blah slightly parky for the time of year isn’t it

    Yes, that’s the rant I was after, the one where you explain that doing the exact same thing is different when you do it, because you’re important and no-one else is. You’re on the cusp of being entertaining again!

  123. on 13 Aug 2009 at 12:02 pm Kelvin

    Incidentally this is something that makes me smile and I thought I’d share. Back in December WordPress added support for Gravatars in the back end. If you don’t have a registered one, gravatar.com will make one up for you out of a few standard elements. But it will always show the same one for a given commenter.

    This is the one it chooses for Neil.

    Even though it’s a random assortment of geometric shapes chosen by a computer with no aesthetic capability, I think it captures Neil perfectly. The one bogged-out eye with the twitch lines in the corner, the angry mouth permanently twisted into a denunciation of everything anyone else says, the complete isolation…

    Between gravatar automatically assigning you a picture of someone forever frozen in a paranoid rant and wordpress getting so sick of listening to you that it drops your posts into the bullshit bucket, I think you should rethink your conspiracy theories Neil. It’s not the BBC that’s at the centre of everything. Semiconductors themselves hate you.

    Yeah, you can see it. But through our secret spy camera in Neil’s office (borrowed from the BBC) we can tell when he’s about to visit the site and we delete it so he gets angry, then we put it back after he’s gone to make him look like the kind of tiny-minded petty wanksock who blunders around making hugely overblown protestations of his own importance at the tiniest perceived sleight.

    I mean, that’s the only possible answer, isn’t it? Otherwise he really would be the kind of tiny-minded petty wanksock who blunders around making hugely overblown protestations of his own importance at the tiniest perceived sleight, and we all know that’s no description of the Neil we all know and love.

    Kelvin aka Ed aka …I didn’t ask a question I stated a fact – that posts of mine had been censored. You may have spent an hour on it but you didn’t answer it (writing visible rubbish & later calling it sarcasm isn’t an answer).

  136. on 14 Aug 2009 at 1:57 pm Kelvin

    See Neil, for all your whinging about how no-one addresses your VERY IMPORTANT arguments and complaints, what you’re actually doing is being a monumental cretin. I’ll try and explain why, but I can’t guarantee not to use irony or sarcasm so if any of it is not clear, get a grown-up to help you with it.

    First of all, it’s not actually possible to argue against your ideas because they’re so crackpot, malformed and ill-expressed. Some of the people on here have been quite generous and extrapolated meaning from the slogans you occasionally throw into your posts, but don’t confuse their ability to infer things with your own ability to write. They have it; you don’t.

    Second of all, even when these poor misguided sods try to deal with you, you do what you’ve just done: Invent any reason whatsoever to ignore them in order to protect your own worldview without any of that tedious proving of facts that eludes you so often. In this case you’ve (once again) conflated Ed and me, so that you can use my post – which, given that I understand what a dishonest looncase you are, contains nothing but the insults you deserve – to avoid having to read Ed’s, which naively assumes you’re interested in evidence. I note that he’s now finally realised the futility of his approach. You should note, Neil, that exasperating someone to the point they call you a retard and walk away is not the same as winning an argument with them. I know the latter experience is not one you’ve ever encountered so I can understand why you fail to distinguish between the two.

    Of course, you have other methods for this. One of your favourites is to ignore ALL of a post except one tiny little point at which you can nitpick, usually for completely unrelated purposes like an error in grammar or some wording you can twist around and make some obscure (by which I mean visible only to the mentally instable) rhetorical point. One some occasions you are presented with irrefutable evidence which you then, er, refute on no better grounds than an insult to the person providing it.

    Third, there’s no point arguing with you, because your stubborn insistence on Being Right in the face of reality makes it a waste of energy. The correct thing for any of your interlocutors to do is annoy you for their own entertainment, watch as you bang about on the walls of your own ignorance like an angry wasp trapped in a glass jar made of ignorance (that is a metaphor by the way) and luxuriate in the knowledge that you’re wrong and lonely now, and you’ll die wrong and lonely and knowing you’ve failed.

    So enjoy this sudden flush of popularity Neil. Enjoy knowing that for the first time in your mad little life you’ve been exposed to an audience – mostly made up of those people you’re always wishing would listen to you; the intelligent ones, the open-minded ones, the ones who can vote – and all you’ve managed to do is make them, to a man, think of you as not just wrong, not just comical, but as so obtuse, dull and humourless that you’re only worth keeping around as a kind of monkey that does an amusing dance when you make the right kind of stimulus in front of it. I’m not sure I’d count that as a success, but then I know you have different standards in that area.

  137. on 14 Aug 2009 at 2:01 pm Kelvin

    By the way, in the interest of saving you important looking-around-the-shop-wondering-why-the-customers-never-come-in-any-more time, the quickest way to ignore all of that post and come up with a reponse that’s neither funny nor addresses anything in the post is to look at the fourth-last line, see that I’ve metaphorically described you as a monkey and come out with some world-shatteringly obtuse statement like “I am clearly not a monkey because monkeys cannot type.”

  138. on 14 Aug 2009 at 2:17 pm Funny Perculiar

    Ahem… err Kelvin sweetie? Aren’t you getting a little bit too involved with Neil’s world? You have been sucked in to his flailing tentacles. You might as well try to hurt the ocean by throwing stones at it as make The Craig Monster see reason.

    He is mad. And that is all he is.

  139. on 14 Aug 2009 at 2:25 pm Kelvin

    I know. It’s aimed more as a warning for anyone who thinks he can be argued with. I fully expect Neil himself to completely ignore it and trot out some trite response about how he’s obviously not a wasp.

  140. on 14 Aug 2009 at 2:42 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Kelvin,

    Your words were wise and well-written.

    It’s truly and genuinely baffling that someone would conflate two people. He has referred to me posting “gay fantasies” when that was you what done it. Talk about permanently, tragically confused.

    Has Neil taught you nothing? – Kelvin

    Yup.

  146. on 14 Aug 2009 at 5:02 pm Chris

    Crankpedia sounds awesome. But very, very, complicated: the internet is built on cranks.

    There’s something Neil taught me.

    It started with the Westboro Baptist Church, was further evidenced by Timecube but was finally confirmed by Craig.

    It’s the general rule of fucknuggetry: the more it looks like a hoax – the more you can’t believe that someone would believe this – the less likely it is to be a hoax.

    Craig’s ramblings aren’t worth the paper they’re not written on. It’s tempting to try and point out the fundamental flaws in his arguments, the chasm grade leaps of logic and the excision of swathes of information that disproves his blunt points. Against my better judgement, I often get dragged into arguing with lesser Craigs and seeing the same kind of errors and idiocies pop up over and over again. But while it’s tempting, it’s usually depressingly pointless. Every time I do it, I can’t work for days afterwards.

    I’m serious. I’ve developed real issues over the rationality of human beings.

    Craig’s just really blatant about his idiocy. Some people manage to hide it behind a thin veneer of status, which Craig doesn’t have; others reveal that the thin veneer of status is actually a large glob of status anxiety.

    I’ve started to head for status anxiety. Neil always wanted to be a superstar scientist, but couldn’t pass his highers. He makes up for it now by saying that the rest of the world knows fuck all, that the standards were shit to begin with, and acquires status from this delusion.

    I’d like to see his brain transplanted into a squirrel’s body after he dies. I don’t think there’d be much difference in behaviour.


  147. Well Ed aka Kelvin as you have repeatedly styled yourself there is not a single word on that long diatribe that could have been written by anybody who was not a wholly dishonset little turd. No offence. For example I have been several times set upon formissing a letter (gant instead of grant for example). Something which will be instantly confirmed by every one of “the intelligent ones, the open-minded ones”. Granted that ain’t many here but I live in hope there are a few.

    But apart from being a liiar if you were even half way to inteligent you wouldn’t try such a transparently dishonest line. In fact virtually every point you make applies to yourself (in your various guises) & the failure to produce any attempt at coherent argument is not mine. Indeed I was upbraided for expecting anybody here to manages such coherence since I was assured it is not what people here do :-)

    “there’s no point arguing with you, because your stubborn insistence on Being Right” – Do you regularly meet people who argue with you by starting off saying they agree with you & think they are wrong? Moron.

    Now if somebody came up with a real fact based argument not dependent on scatalogical (look it up) insults it is possible they might actually get somewhere. Not something you are capable of obviously, but it has happened.

    Incidentally the use of the term “turd” to describe you was metaphorical. Liar, wholly dishonest & moron weren’t.

  148. on 14 Aug 2009 at 6:49 pm Kelvin

    Well Neil, as a result of that you’ve changed everyone’s opinion of you and guaranteed you won’t die lonely, wrong and disappointed. So I guess the system does work after all.

    Please, go dig yourself a Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator and sit in it.

  155. on 15 Aug 2009 at 4:14 pm Not Ed or Kelvin

    The one question Neil refuses to answer, but which is most relevant, is, “What is your opinion of Mr. Kadir-Buxton?” Does you think KB is a maverick genius bravely swimming against the tide of popular opinion, or is he a tragic, barking mad internet loony?

  156. on 15 Aug 2009 at 8:16 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Another question he’s never answered is: has he ever actually had sex? If so, with what species, and what gender?

    And apparently my highly-educated writings are a “diatribe [nothing of which] could have been written by anybody who was not a wholly dishonset little turd”. Is this the most bafflingly badly-written sentence ever shat onto a screen?

    After a couple of minutes of head-scratching, I did some algebraic negatives-cancelling. “[N]ot…dishonest” -> “honest”. So apparently my little treatise on logic and persuasion was in fact “not writable by any honest person”. Don’t know what to make of that. Too bizarre.

    By the way, Chris, I’ll guess you’re mid-20s. A thing that will help in dealing with crackpots is to maintain a mental distance from them. If they get their claws of craziness into you it can infect you, as you’ve discovered.

    Chris, though it is clearly your highest ambition, anybody who doesn’t hold some opinion the majority of the world doesn’t agree with would be a pretty pathetic brain dead specimen.

    Note that Nearly’s definition of “non-brain dead” = “holds some opinion the majority of the world doesn’t agree with”. In other words, unpopularity of view = brilliant insightfulness.

    Oooh, so close, Ed. Very early 30s.

    The problem is that some of them don’t display outright craziness at the beginning. For example, from the moment I saw Craig’s blog, after dismissing the idea that it was either a joke or some seriously smart irony, I knew that investment in time and logic was about as sensible an investment as shares in Lehman Brothers.

    But you get caught out by fucknuggets. You can be happily rolling along on a discussion, and suddenly, without warning, reason and logic – or the semblance of them – evaporates, and suddenly you’re involved in a discussion with someone who uses the phrase “ZaNu Liebore” in all seriousness, and worst of all, can’t see that it isn’t smart, funny, cutting, insightful or intelligent to repeat the same thing you’ve heard on the Daily Mail website over and over again.

    The same kind of people who will seriously use the phrases, “The thing that frightens me is…” and “I’m not being racist, but…”. You’re happily rolling along, and suddenly they drop a Littlebomb.

    That’s the problem – being caught out by assuming that people are reasonable when what I should be doing is assuming they’re all just a firearm away from another Hungerford. It’s like reading something, agreeing with the first point and then staggering into disbelief as the train of thought comes off the rails of sanity and ends up rolling through the freshly ploughed fields of the batshit insane.


  164. So Chris anybody who spends spare time blogging is an idiot. An opinion you are entitled to hold & indeed to spend your spare time blogging about.

    I would like to thank all “the intelligent ones, the open-minded” branes for their support. I would like to thank the pond life for their attention.

  165. on 16 Aug 2009 at 2:14 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Nearly, nobody on here has supported you. Nobody at all. Ever.

    Chris, fair enough. But I suggest there is still a problem for you if you’re not jumping the train before it enters the freshly-ploughed fields (nice image, by the way).

    With that comment, you not only registered a swing and a miss, but you lost control of the bat and it went right into your shrivelled, useless genitals. You saw hypocrisy where there wasn’t any, just like you see lies where there aren’t any and, I presume, friends where there aren’t any.

We are the antithesis of your beliefs and we are 100% definitely not going to be converted to your ideas. This website was DESIGNED to mock people like you. Its whole function is to shine a spotlight on cranks and laugh at them. You are the butt of this website ffs. We are laughing at you (or at least we were). Can’t you see that? And yet you have been here for weeks trying to convince us of your nutty conspiracies and superior intellect??? Have you no sense of proportion? There MUST be another bit of the internet, somewhere, less hostile to you than we are, so why are you still here?

  170. on 17 Aug 2009 at 9:32 am Kelvin

    There MUST be another bit of the internet, somewhere, less hostile to you than we are, so why are you still here?

    Because all the bits of the internet (and indeed the whole world) that are less hostile to him also completely ignore him. And, like the kid at school who would eat ladybirds just to get people to notice him, Neil can’t distinguish between positive attention and negative attention. If we all ignored Neil for a week he’d probably start shitting pennies just to get a reaction from us.

    Oh. Oh right. I see what I’ve done there now.

    I mean, looking at it again what I’ve done is reached a conclusion, then cherry-picked only the parts of your post that support that conclusion. Then I’ve deliberately taken that part of the post out of context to make it appear to agree with my existing belief. Then I’ve deliberately misunderstood it in order to wrench its meaning around to what I want it to mean. Then on top of that I’ve ignored everything else in your post and carried on like negating one small part of your argument on the deliberate failure to understand its context is the same as addressing all the points you raise in it.

    Which of those would you say was the most egregious thing I did, out of interest?

  176. on 17 Aug 2009 at 1:53 pm Kelvin

    Oh, and the other thing which I’m now doing is to act as though your counterargument never existed, and ask, now you’ve admitted you’re an idiot, what’s the next thing you’l be apologising for?


  177. You flatter yourself Kelvin aka. You have yet to address any part of my original argument. Nor are you alone. On my original thread here I asked if it was possible for anybody else on here to put a coherent argument against anything I said & the answer still seems to be no.

  178. on 17 Aug 2009 at 2:48 pm Kelvin

    [I] flatter Kelvin. You address my original argument. Nor are you alone [in agreeing that I'm an idiot]. I asked if it was possible for [me] to put a coherent argument & the answer still seems to be no.

    Oh shit, now it appears I’ve cherry-picked and extrapolated from a small set of data to produce results that agree with my pre-existing conclusion, which could well actually be in complete disagreement from what the unadulterated data would demonstrate. Would you say that was even more dishonest than what I was doing before, Neil?

  179. on 17 Aug 2009 at 2:52 pm Kelvin

    Also, people who use ampersands in conversational prose: has anyone ever met anyone who does this that wasn’t either a Lorna Pope-level dingbat, or a hilariously pompous twat?

  180. on 17 Aug 2009 at 3:43 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Kelvin, do you ever worry that the moles might get broken if you whack them hard enough?

    Me neither.

  181. on 17 Aug 2009 at 4:15 pm Kelvin

    Well Neil Craig aka Ed aka convenient strawman, moles tunnel into the ground, which as we have already established makes them tools of Satan. Therefore I wouldn’t be worried about breaking them, which invalidates everything else you have ever said, you weird Scottish nutjob.

    Oh fuck, now what I appear to have done is use someone else’s comments entirely in attribution to Neil! I mean, even though it’s blatantly fucking obvious that Ed and Neil are different people and they’ve been talking between themselves previously in this thread, I just can’t seem to stop myself doing it! And not only that, I seem to have skipped the whole “rationale” part and gone straight from pulling a conclusion out of my arse to insulting Neil for not agreeing with it. Neil, do you think this is worse or better than the cherry-picking?

  182. on 17 Aug 2009 at 4:22 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Kelvin aka Nearly Craig,

    By asking such an idiotic question you prove that you’re a genocide-supporting Nazi who works for the BBC (but I repeat myself). Clearly you haven’t even addressed my main argument, which is that I’m desperate to be loved.

  183. on 17 Aug 2009 at 10:33 pm cmh

    Returning to a long way back:

    “Tragic, but he gets no attention elsewhere, so like one of the really rancid slags at school, he just likes to get someone to pay some attention to him, even if that attention is very very inappropriate.”

    Am I really alone in finding the phrase ‘really rancid slag’ when applied to a school age girl just the teensiest tiniest bit mind-blowingly misogynistic?

    I do hope not. This is normally such a civilised place to be: intelligent posts, witty banter, nice curtains…

  184. on 18 Aug 2009 at 2:42 am Simon

    On my original thread here I asked if it was possible for anybody else on here to put a coherent argument against anything I said

    What did you say, Neil?
    All I can see is that:
    1. You put a link to your own blog as evidence for one your favourite theories regarding NATO Nazi Organ Harvesters.
    2. You thought that your post linking to your own blog had been censored. This was shown to you to have never happened. Rather than admit an oversight, you couldn’t face the fact that you got something wrong and blurted silliness about it “suddenly re-appearing”. Have you heard of RSS feeds?
    3. You’re arguing the toss over who’s a liar? You or everyone else?

    This pattern has repeated itself several times on this site alone. Have I missed anything, or am I a liar too?

    Neil, you have a personality disorder, and you need some help to re-assess your life. Please stop and think. Get some professional help; there’s no shame in it. The first step will be the hardest. And before you reply with an inference that I need the help or am “personally familiar” with this type of help or that I’m a liar or that I’m a Nazi sympathiser, realise that this, too, is part of the illness.

  185. on 18 Aug 2009 at 2:47 am Ed aka Nearly Craig

    But do those curtains match the drapes?

  186. on 18 Aug 2009 at 2:49 am Ed aka Nearly Craig

    @Simon

    Each of us has reached out to Nearly, thinking that it will be us that breaks through the thick crust of crazy. Each of us has been disappointed. Let’s see how it turns out for you.

  187. on 18 Aug 2009 at 3:15 am Simon

    @ Ed: I tried once before by setting up a thread on a neutral forum where no-one can censor anyone or be suspected of it. I remember that apart from myself, 2 “fellow” SYB were willing to help. Neil declined, so we were stuck with here or his blog: Neither were satisfactory as Neil full-well knew. At the time, I thought, unkindly, that he was just an arse, but now I see patterns to his behaviour so I’m going to try and be gentle with him and try to get him to think.

    @Neil: Don’t take “try to get him to think” as an insult: It isn’t. Most importantly, it’s up to you to prove your argument; it’s not up to anyone else to disprove it.

  188. on 18 Aug 2009 at 4:48 am Ed aka Nearly Craig

    I think that this comic contains a lesson for us all on dealing with people like Nearly.

  189. on 18 Aug 2009 at 4:56 am Chris

    cmh

    Am I really alone in finding the phrase ‘really rancid slag’ when applied to a school age girl just the teensiest tiniest bit mind-blowingly misogynistic?

    Yes, and it makes you some kind of humourless lesbian, or someone who actually was one of those really rancid slags.

    In my defence, I’m a staggeringly arrogant wanker. In my further defence, aforementioned rancid slags were rancid slags, just like I was an arrogant wanker. In my further further defence, just like I’m still an arrogant wanker, they’re probably still rancid slags and furthermore probably spend most of their time on HYS.

    (Now I’m using stereotypes.)

    In my further further defence defence, the application of those badges to apply positive or negative attributions to gender roles, be those roles positive or negative themselves is in fact culturally and biologically bound. Sexuality became a way to grab attention from men in the same way it couldn’t be used by equally rancid males to get attention from women. I could have called Neil one of those acne ridden fat bastards who spent their time trying to cover up the fact that they never bathed with Lynx and I don’t think you would have called misanry on me.

    I think that’s rather sexist of you, and you should apologise.

    Nasty Crack

    Kelvin aka whoever if you read again you will see that I didn’t actually agree with Chris’ assessment that anybody, like him, who spends time blogging is an idiot but I will defend to the death his right to say it.

    Oi. Fucknugget. Read again… I never said that people who spend their time blogging were idiots. You inferred that from absolutely the most tenuous of links. In fact, I didn’t mention the word “bloggers” at all. The only blog I made reference to was yours.

    What you should actually be inferring from that point is nothing much more than you’re the idiot.

  190. on 18 Aug 2009 at 5:02 am Chris

    I obviously meant “misandry”.

    And by the way, I’m not a misogynist. I love women. Why, without them I’d have to cook my own dinner.

    Tonight I’m having delicious irony.

  191. on 18 Aug 2009 at 5:59 am Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Just noticed: Nearly uses the old canard about “defending to the death” people’s right to free speech. Somehow I think he wouldn’t.

  192. on 18 Aug 2009 at 6:13 am Chris

    I strongly suspect that Neil will now retort that he’s not a duck.

  193. on 18 Aug 2009 at 6:33 am Ed aka Nearly Craig

    He’d have to know the fact on which you base that before he’d say it. Knowledge isn’t really his thing.

  194. on 18 Aug 2009 at 11:47 am Simon

    @Neil.

    The end of my sentence

    or that I’m a liar or that I’m a Nazi sympathiser, realise that this, too, is part of the illness.

    should have finished.
    or that I’m a liar or that I’m a Nazi sympathiser or that Famous Person X was accused of idiocy, realise that this, too, is part of the illness..

    Apologies for quoting myself here, but I’d like to make clear that I’m not claiming to prove anything by this, just correcting myself.

  195. on 18 Aug 2009 at 12:59 pm Settle down class Professor Craig's here

    Closest to coherent Simon so you deserve an answer.

    My post was censored, aka says this was because the computer became self aware & I don’t believe that.

    The link is indeed to my blog – specificly to the government’s answer to a Freedom of Information Act enquiry about the Dragodan Massacre. While several people here have said that this genocide of 210 unarmed civilians by our police (formerly NATO armed KLA) under our authority, couldn’t possibly have happened, in this great democracy of ours, without massive coverage. The link shows not only that the government disagree but that it has been acknowledged in Parliament. Indeed I provided a further link to Hansard which, I must ask you to accept my, I don’t control.

    http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmordbk1/20131w01.htm

    That, as somebody pointed out, the overwhelning majority of mentions of an act of genocide comparable to My Lai (look it up) in English come from me does not prove I made it up.

    What it proves is either that I made it all up or that all the Beeboids & other “journalists” in this country are wholly & completely corrupt racist Nazi filth.

    Branes wallow in finding something that stupid & racist members of the public say contradicting the wise words of the noble & impartial liberal minded news controllers. In fact it is largely that public who are close to impartial & the Beeboids who are stupid, corrupt racist, Nazi, filth who will proveably tell any lie & censor any fact to promte their masters fascism. And you lot sit there giggling about the cleverness of your ignorance.

  196. on 18 Aug 2009 at 1:58 pm Chris

    Arsecrack:

    First of all, please pay attention to what you’re being told. In particular, the suggestion from SYBers and others that you need psychiatric help.

    1) Your link to Hansard is the question to the minister, not the answer. This is the response. The original link you provided to your own blog was nothing more than a collection of leaps of logic and your own conjectures. That’s why it’s not valid. It doesn’t make sense. You can’t draw the conclusions you do from the evidence you’ve presented. Trust me. I’ve actually read it.

    Please note that neither questions nor responses on Hansard make reference to a massacre. They do in fact refer to the existence of corpses, and according to the brief look I had at your letters and FOI requests, the only response you would have accepted as satisfactory from the government – which admitted nothing you’d like it to admit – was complete and utter admission of complicity in organ trafficking.

    2) The options aren’t in fact either you’re making shit up or the media are lying. The options are wide-ranging.

    But, in fact, I can’t be arsed flicking through the random collection of persecuted, paranoid ramblings that make up your blog.

    So I’m going to ask you a question now. Because you like to play games, and because you like to get the words “Dragodan” and “massacre” onto Google, I’m going to oblige you.

    This game is called, “which is more likely?”

    The rules are fairly self-explanatory. I’m going to give you a black and white option, which are the only options you’re comfortable with. I’m going to dress it in language particularly prejudiced toward leading toward a particular viewpoint, which, again, is something you’re comfortable with. And finally, I’m going to ignore everything you say afterward and settle back in a sense of my own smug self-satisfaction, and also this wonderful kava kava buzz.

    Neil, is is more likely that:

    a) Wide sections of the media, governments, non-governmental organisations from a diverse range of countries (including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Medicin Sans Frontiers), international observers, NATO and the majority of the general public, are either ignorant of or complicit in a wide-ranging conspiracy to not only harvest organs from Serbs, but also to conceal this fact from the general public AND conceal large scale massacres. Or,

    b) You’re a mad fucknugget who’s grasped onto a straw, won’t let go and because no-one agrees with him or listens to him, is utterly utterly and incorrectly convinced that there’s a conspiracy afoot and he’s the only one who recognises that the great evil is stalking amongst us.

    Which one do you think it is, Neil?

    Answers on a postcard, please, to KILL YOURSELF NOW, YOUR LIFE ISN’T WORTH LIVING.

  197. on 18 Aug 2009 at 2:53 pm Simon

    Chris, you beat me to it.

    @Neil, is that it !!? I gave you a second chance and you failed again.

    My Lai (look it up) : You are all wise and I know nothing.

    All you did was provide a dumb link (that’s Chris for correcting that) and throw insults. Repeating pattern, Neil.
    “Beeboids”, “Nazi filth”: These are not your thoughts, Neil: They are the opinions of the bigots from Biased BBC.

    Branes wallow in finding something that stupid & racist members of the public say contradicting the wise words of the noble & impartial liberal minded news controllers.

    .

    Half right, Neil. The whole point of this blog is having a laugh at stupid people. I couldn’t care less if they contradicted the media or not: It’s stupid that counts.
    One last thing Neil, and I mean the last ever: Are you aware that the owner of this site does NOT believe what the BBC or most (all?) media outlets report? He’s publicly stated it here more than once. You see Neil. I happen to disagree with him about this, but that doesn’t make him or me a liar or a Nazi. One day, he may be proved correct or proved nuts: So what?

    I’m not interested in further discourse.

  198. on 18 Aug 2009 at 2:57 pm Simon

    For everyone else.

    If you want sources for NATO Nazi Organ Harvesters, just have a trawl though the BNP (.org.uk) or Stormfront (.org) websites.

  199. on 18 Aug 2009 at 3:06 pm Dumbest

    What it proves is either that I made it all up or that all the Beeboids & other “journalists” in this country are wholly & completely corrupt racist Nazi filth

    Up until this point I may have been willing to accept that there may have been some small grains of truth in Neil’s rambling, but now I have to choose between Neil made it up or all Journalists are corrupt racist Nazi filth.
    So Neil, why did you make it all up?

  200. on 18 Aug 2009 at 3:21 pm Kelvin

    My post was censored, aka says this was because the computer became self aware & I don’t believe that.

    See Neil, what you’ve done there is deliberately misinterpret an obviously sarcastic comment to hide the fact that what you’re actually doing is conflate two different events: One where your posts were being automatically marked as “pending” because they appeared to be possible spam, and one where you mistakenly thought a post had been deleted and kicked off about censorship. The aim appears to be to avoid having to backpedal and admit you made a mistake. Is that worse or better than what I was doing Neil?

    http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmordbk1/20131w01.htm

    See Neil, what you’ve done there is link to a question asked in parliament and claimed a question asking for identification of bodies is the same as proof that those bodies are who you claim they are. That’s falsely representing the evidence, Neil. Is that better or worse than what I was doing? Please answer, because you are obviously the moral authority here.

    That, as somebody pointed out, the overwhelning majority of mentions of an act of genocide comparable to My Lai (look it up) in English come from me does not prove I made it up.

    See Neil, what you’ve done there is commit Argumentum ad populum, which is the same thing you accuse people of doing when they say everything thinks you’re an idiot. So is this hypocrisy better or worse than what I was doing, Neil? And does your need to resort to this fallacy make your “evidence” more, or less, compelling by association?

    What it proves is either that I made it all up or that all the Beeboids & other “journalists” in this country are wholly & completely corrupt racist Nazi filth.

    See what you’ve done there is weasel in the word “proves” as though what you linked to is a fait accompli, further bolstering your false claim that it’s evidence; and then you’ve set up a false dichotomy that anyone who doesn’t agree with it must be a nazi. That’s leaping from an unsupported position directly to condemnation, Neil. Is that better or worse than the hypocrisy, misrepresentation and deliberate failure to understand that we’ve identified so far?

    Branes wallow in finding something that stupid & racist members of the public say contradicting the wise words of the noble & impartial liberal minded news controllers. In fact it is largely that public who are close to impartial & the Beeboids who are stupid, corrupt racist, Nazi, filth who will proveably tell any lie & censor any fact to promte their masters fascism. And you lot sit there giggling about the cleverness of your ignorance.

    See Neil, what you’ve done there is assume that by repeatedly issuing proclamations of how clever and right you are, you can make yourself be clever and right in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. That means that you’re willing to ignore reason, truth, evidence and fact in your campaign to be important, which I would identify as a form of corruption. So Neil, if my choice is to believe a corrupt BBC, which has oversight from a democratically elected government, or a corrupt You, who has oversight only from the pixies that live on your shoulder, why in the name of christing fucksausage should I believe your pixie council has the authority here?

  201. on 18 Aug 2009 at 3:34 pm Kelvin

    OK, possibly it’s not Argumentum ad Populum. Neil, you should consider writing your sentences in a style my second-year English teacher described as “understandable.”

    But then again I don’t think there actually is a term for the fallacy of just because I’m the only person who writes about it doesn’t make it untrue. I mean, the ‘overwhlening’ majority of evidence in the English language about you recieving consensual homosexual fellatio were written by me, Neil. Does that prove or disprove that they were made up?

  202. on 18 Aug 2009 at 4:12 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    Some hard-hitting analysis by Simon, Chris and Kelvin there. However, I suggest that what you’re punching is the wind(bag). Time to declare victory?

  203. on 18 Aug 2009 at 9:43 pm cmh

    Chris. You could have just ended your answer at ‘yes’. You had me at ‘yes’.

    I also then wouldn’t have had to half-heartedly attempt to wade through this excitingly overwritten clause:

    ‘the application of those badges to apply positive or negative attributions to gender roles, be those roles positive or negative themselves is in fact culturally and biologically bound.’

    before deciding that there wasn’t any real meaning contained therein and going off to have some lovely minge for my tea.

  204. on 18 Aug 2009 at 11:57 pm funny peculiar

    That the overwhelming majority of mentions of an act of genocide comparable to My Lai in English come from me does not prove I made it up.

    What it proves is either that I made it all up or that all the Beeboids & other “journalists” in this country are wholly & completely corrupt racist Nazi filth. – neil craig

    Exactly. Ex-fucking-actly. We COULDN’T agree more.

    So as Ed eloquently points out, we should just accept Neil’s first-hand confession of his pathetic lack of facts, support or credibility as the finish tape and stop trying argue with someone whose bathroom cabinet is jam-packed with decades of untaken, prescribed medication.

    We win. He fucking admits it in writing. Now please… let it go. The guy is a mad man. Continuing this is tantamount to the torturing of dumb animals.

  205. on 19 Aug 2009 at 12:04 am funny peculiar

    (… especially if Neil IS a duck)

  206. on 19 Aug 2009 at 1:12 am Jesus H Christ

    Continuing this is tantamount to the torturing of dumb animals.

    If I could bring my cat into this one too, I’m both unwilling and unable to torture him.

    You have to let me torture Neil. Please. As far as I’m aware, winding up retards on the internet isn’t barred by the Geneva convention, and so much of the good stuff is.

  207. on 19 Aug 2009 at 1:13 am Chris

    Oh no! My secret identity!

  208. on 19 Aug 2009 at 11:53 am Settle down class Professor Craig's here

    Chris your pointing out that the link I gave starts with the question is rather more silly than the previous. naturally untruthful, criticism of me that I keep pointing out people’s spelling mistakes. However you next remark must be one of the weirdest in the English language:

    “neither questions nor responses on Hansard make reference to a massacre. They do in fact refer to the existence of corpses”

    In exactly what way is the undisputed finding of the corpses of at least 210 murdered people not evidence of a massacre. Presumably you are also on record as claiming rain is not evidence of the presence of water?

    Your options are not A & B but
    A 1 – They committed genocide “ignorantly”
    A 2 – They did it “complicitly”
    B – I made it all up, & secretly am in control of the government able to make them tell Parliament of their complicity in an act of genocide which, if you are correct, never happened. Unfortunately I am not secretly in control of the media & so they, in an entirely different conspiracy, have suppressed reporting of it. [& some loons here claim I am the conspiracy nut – it should be obvious to almost the meanest intelligence that your theory makes no sense}

    Among options A 1 & 2 I point out that the NATO funded “court” has decided that, while 2 KLA fighters buried close to each other is a mass grave, 210 is only 210 separate graves in the same place. As all the organisations you mention as being ignorant/complicit know a civilian mass grave is ipso facto evidence, under international law of genocide. So, by, like yourself, denying that hundreds of murders are a massacre, they are deliberately lying to pretend that what they were involved in was not genocide. That is clearly evidence of deliberation not ignorance.

    Simon you are clearly ignorant of the fact the BNP opposed that criminal war. Whatever you think of them you cannot honestly suggest that anybody in the BNP is 1.000th as Nazi as the obscene racist filth in the Lab/Con/LibDim party, the BBC or any other broadcaster of journalist.

    aka says “what you’ve done there is commit Argumentum ad populum, which is the same thing you accuse people of doing ”

    . I do not claim that revulsion at the undisputed murder of 210 innocents is popular. I claim the exact opposite – that the fact most people, including apparently all Branes, hadn’t previously heard of it is evidence of corruption among those allegedly reporting the news.

    I trust nobody will object if I can’t be arsed responding to the other “hard hitting analysis” dependent on Branes knowing the contents of my bathroom cabinet etc.

  209. on 19 Aug 2009 at 12:08 pm Kelvin

    In exactly what way is the undisputed finding of the corpses of at least 210 murdered people not evidence of a massacre.

    See Neil, what you’ve done there is once again claim that “evidence of a massacre” is the same thing as “evidence that the victims of those massacre are who I say they are AND that NATO harvested organs from them” which is once again jumping from fact through enormous hoops of unsupported conjecture to a conclusion you already held. It’s (crudely) manipulative and dishonest to not only do this, but then keep on doing it once you’ve been caught out in the hope you can bluster through and change people’s minds through belligerence.

    I do not claim that revulsion at the undisputed murder of 210 innocents is popular.

    Oh and what you’ve done there is ignore that I’ve already said it probably wasn’t argumentum ad populum because realistically that point wasn’t argumentum at all. It was irreleventum, like pretty much everything you say.

    I trust nobody will object if I can’t be arsed responding to the other “hard hitting analysis” dependent on Branes knowing the contents of my bathroom cabinet etc.

    See, once again you’ve mixed up inferring things with knowing things, Neil. We can take partial evidence of your mental state and infer that you’ve got a cabinet full of ignored meds and a restraining order or two. But that doesn’t prove it. You kind of have a problem with the logic there, though, don’t you.

  210. on 19 Aug 2009 at 12:25 pm Kelvin

    Thinking about it, some mood stabilising drugs do have odd effects on perception, logic skills and the ability to communicate. And your mood is pretty stable, although if “paranoid and irate” was the aim then maybe Novartis should rethink their marketing.

    So, employing Craigian Logic (like Cartesian but with the added fun of Proving Whatever You Like), this proves either that you’ve got a cabinet full of ignored meds, or that you’ve been taking those meds and that’s what has driven you off the deep end for a fun little dip in Lake Offyourtitticacas.

    PRE-REBUTTAL EXPLANATION OF JOKE FOLLOWS
    Yes Neil, I know it doesn’t prove either of those things. I know those two outcomes are mutually exclusive and for a single piece of evidence to be capable of proving both of them without depending on other factors would mean that the original piece of evidence was no proof either way. I know that there are many other possible scenarios which are not alluded to here. And I know that I pulled the original piece of evidence out of thin air in the first place. That’s because I’m taking the piss out of when you said this:

    What it proves is either that I made it all up or that all the Beeboids & other “journalists” in this country are wholly & completely corrupt racist Nazi filth.

    Which is where you pulled a piece of “evidence” out of thin air, then claimed it proved either of two conjectures in absentia any supporting evidence and in denial of the notion that neither of them could be true and the truth lies somewhere else. Do you see how I did that Neil? Are there some functioning brain cells beneath the strata of oblongata dedicated to shrieking like as a mad man at the world in general? Do you have any capacity left for introspection, or have you spunked away the last vestiges of rationality on denouncing imaginary conspiracies whose common target is you personally?

  211. on 19 Aug 2009 at 2:49 pm D.G. of The BBC

    Look, I’ve had enough of this now! This prole is getting far too close to the truth and I think we need to take steps. We can only bluff him for so long and he seems a tenacious little turd. He’s not going to go quietly, so I’ve asked Ashdown to send one of his hush-hush boys round to Craig’s shop and make it look like a petty robbery that went badly wrong. It’s the best way, I think. The case will be briefly ‘investigated’, then dropped. Kelvin, make sure this doesn’t get put on your silly website, I never could learn how to use computers properly, I leave that to you young bloods. Well, that’s all. See you at Ciro’s later for Mandleson’s party, if you can make it. TTFN.

  212. on 19 Aug 2009 at 4:00 pm Chris

    I was walking to work today and I passed a location where at least 500 bodies had been buried.

    I immediately contacted the authorities and informed them that a large number of bodies had been buried in this location and that was, ipso facto, evidence of a massacre that had taken place.

    They said yes, they were aware of a large number of bodies in this location – which proved they knew about the bodies and this had to be a massacre.

    However, they said that there were other reasons for collections of bodies existing in one place, and furthermore a mass of graves wasn’t necessarily a mass grave.

    I don’t believe them, however. The fact that they acknowledge the existence of the bodies in this location by itself proves my thesis. The fact that they’ve patiently explained to me everything and now won’t return my calls proves that they’re lying, and a conspiracy is afoot.

    The fact that no one else believes me and calls me a mad fucknugget, and tells me I need psychiatric help proves I’m right.

    Here’s a poorly constructed sentence and a blog post that contains a factual link, from which I’ve made a massive leap of logic to suit my own particular beliefs. And if you don’t agree, or try to point out any flaws, you’re a liar, and you’re stupid.

    You know, I don’t really like to quote people, and I like even less to paraphrase people, but…

    …Kurt Vonnegut once described the minds of the insane like any other mind. The cogs are all in the right places, and the design is exactly the same. The only difference is that some of the cogs have teeth missing.

    The effect is that when you put the same information into the two different brains, the missing cogs in the mad brain mean that the information you get out of the other side is completely different. But the insane brain can’t tell the difference, because it has all the right cogs, it just doesn’t realise the teeth are missing.

    Neil, for the love of God, get help. You have trouble interpreting basic information. It’s not that you don’t bother to read it – you clearly do – but you have a serious cognitive defect that means you can’t interpret it correctly.

  213. on 19 Aug 2009 at 4:22 pm Kelvin

    I don’t believe them, however. The fact that they acknowledge the existence of the bodies in this location by itself proves my thesis. The fact that they’ve patiently explained to me everything and now won’t return my calls proves that they’re lying, and a conspiracy is afoot.

    Chris, I’m intrigued. Did you go home and post a long, rambling, logic-free explanation of this on your blog? And do you use major media outlets’ ignorance of that blog post, and subsequent failure to denounce something of which they’re totally unaware, to brand those outlets as wholly staffed by racist nazis? Do you then hold up the cuddly, friendly BNP as being far less racist and nazi than those outlets, even at the same time as you bang on about the liberal conspiracy in those media outlets?

    It’s just if you did, it would remind me terribly of someone. But I can’t quite put my finger on whom just now.

  215. on 19 Aug 2009 at 7:25 pm Ed aka Nearly Craig

    I don’t suppose “Too long for my shrivelled attention span” will ever catch on as an intarwebs acronym.

    The most ironic thing about Nearly’s raving about the Beeb covering up the killings in Kosovo… is that they didn’t. I linked to the story (from April) somewhere here.

    I feel compassion for Nearly (at the same time as substantial dislike), when I imagine what it must be like for him with his genuinely limited comprehension. As an exercise, imagine reading this site, but only one word in three. You’d have some idea of the subject matter, but you wouldn’t really get the details. You wouldn’t even know there were details you weren’t getting. Welcome to Nearly’s world.

  216. on 20 Aug 2009 at 4:16 am Chris

    No, Ed. You don’t understand. Plainly the evidence that they didn’t ignore it is nothing more than a manifestation of how they’re trying to cover it up.

    Do you see how that works? No? Then you’re a liar, a Nazi, and also stupid.

  217. on 20 Aug 2009 at 10:56 am Messing With Neil's Head

    Simon you are clearly ignorant of the fact the BNP opposed that criminal war. Whatever you think of them you cannot honestly suggest that anybody in the BNP is 1.000th as Nazi as the obscene racist filth in the Lab/Con/LibDim party, the BBC or any other broadcaster of journalist.

    This just sums up the BiasedBBC’s Chief Statistician, aka NC, perfectly.

    How is Simon ignorant of the BNP’s public policy on this? He said nothings about their policies. All he said was you can trawl their (and Stormfront’s) website for info. Can you see the leap of logic you made there … again? Let me explain it in very simple terms: I think he was saying something of the personal politics of the people who believe this conspiracy, ie they hate mooslims and these people just cannot stomach muslims being seen as the main (NOT the only) victims in a war against (nominal) Chritians.

    LOGIC:

    Bin Laden = Bad,
    Bin Laden = Muslim,
    Kosovar = Albanian = Muslim = Bad,
    Bosnian = Muslim = Bad,
    Serb fighting Muslim = Good
    Good = Christian

    Therefore:

    As Nazi = Bad,
    BBC said “Serbs ≠ Good”

    We can deduce:

    Muslim = Nazi
    BBC = Bad = Nazi

  218. on 20 Aug 2009 at 11:05 am Messing With Neil's Head

    LOGIC continued.

    BBC = Muslim (or Muslim controlled).

    But most media outlets have “ignored” the massacres (and only reported on made-up massacres like Srebrenica), so

    Most global media = Muslim-controlled

    But also

    Most global media = Jewish-controlled

    so:

    Muslim = Jew.

    Think about it:
    Neither of them eat pork, both are circumcised, both claim to live in the Levant. It’s a conspiracy. Wake up people!!!

    END
    ******************************

    Why would ALL media cover this up? Why? ALL? Is it to appease mooslims and stamp on the face of Christianity with boots, forever?

  219. on 20 Aug 2009 at 11:20 am Settle down class Professor Craig's here

    Aka – Perhaps having claimed that 210 civilians murdered wasn’t a massacre you would actually confirm whether that was a disgusting lie before going on to object to me not making the leap of assuming you meant to but that “evidence that the victims of those massacre are who I say they are AND that NATO harvested organs from them”.

    Actually you will also be wishing to apologise for the last part of that claim since it is, of course, a lie that I ever claimed the victims of this particular massacre were cut open to steal their body organs for our hospitals. That was an entirely different set of murders by our police.

    Having actually read my blog, which you are denouncing (?) you will also wish to apologise for the first part of your claim since you will be aware that at least some of the bodies have been identified as Serbs who were alive until the NATO occupation & their “arrest” by our “KLA” police. Unless you are going to claim that this was a joint massacre by both the Serbs & NATO police, which is obviously ridiculous, then the massacre was carried out by our police, under our government’s authority.

    I await all 3 retractions, in the knowledge that if you are something other than not only wholly dishonest genocidal Nazi, you will wish to make them.

    Chris did the bodies in the grave you passed consist of people who had been deliberately murdered in the last few months after being arrested by our police? Have you, being in some slight way honest, publicly stated that all the bodies of Jews apparently killed by the Nazis, must be assumed to have died of old age. (Fortunately for lying, racist Nazi filth like you most of the bodies don’t exist which you must find a great convenience.)

  220. on 20 Aug 2009 at 12:10 pm Messing With Neil's Head

    Craig, everywhere you look, you see Nazis.
    “… will also wish to apologise for … ”
    Anyone else see a recurring theme?

    Admit it Neil, you either hate Muslims or you’ve been unknowingly sucked up into Stormfront’s world and that of their little brother, the BNP. These sibling disagree about Jews and one or two other things, but not much else.

    In fact, you could say that the BNP was inspired by New Labour in as much as New Labour made themselves respectable and electable by dropping Clause 4, and the BNP are doing the same by very publicly dropping anti-semitism. Hmmmm?

    BTW, aren’t Arabs Semites? No no … don’t answer that Neil … rhetorical. Go to BiasedBBC and please put up a posting as to which News/Media organisations are not Camel-loving Librul Nazis. They seem to link to Sky News, but I don’t remember them reporting on this “210″ massacre, at least not in a big way.

  221. on 20 Aug 2009 at 12:13 pm Messing With Neil's Head

    If I’ve tallied correctly, Neil, you would like:

    Apologise, apologise.
    Retract, retract, retract.

    There y’are. Simples. Moving on …..

  222. on 20 Aug 2009 at 12:14 pm Kelvin

    Having actually read my blog

    No Neil, I haven’t read your blog. I haven’t read it because a team of linguistic archaeologists would be required to make sense of your atrocious writing. I’ve tried to read your blog, really I have. But what meaning I can actually extract from it seems to be a self-contradictory sack of space nerd dreaming, fisher-price economic miracles and spittle-flecked ranting at everyone who’s ever upset you.

    Oh, I know what’s coming next, Neil. You’ll say that by not reading every word of your blog I can’t possibly know that you’re wrong and that makes me some kind of

    wholly dishonest genocidal Nazi

    But Neil, you probably think your postman is a racist lying Nazi, and any traffic warden who tickets your car is a racist lying Nazi and some bloke who once coughed behind you but you’re not quite sure whether it was a cough or him muttering “cock” under his breath is a racist lying Nazi. And the reason I can say with certainty that nothing on your blog exceeds the level of nutjob brainfart is because you brand anyone you disagree with a racist lying Nazi. It’s a classic sign of Internet Insanity.

    So carry on Neil. Froth at the mouth all you like. Carry on imagining that your passion gives weight to your arguments, when really all it does is signpost that they can be safely ignored as the rantings of a mad man. Carry on fighting for the imaginary justice you demand, never understanding that the main obstacle to it is you.

  223. on 20 Aug 2009 at 12:28 pm Kelvin

    Oh man, not a couple of minutes after writing that do I find Barney Frank making a similar argument against another loon who thinks anything she disagrees with is the act of nazis.

    So Neil, with Barney Frank’s help we can now definitively identify you as a wasp-monkey-duck-dining room table. Clearly a genetic hybrid that could have come only from the laboratories of the infamous Doctor Josef Mengele. Who’s the nazi NOW, Herr Craig?

    Do you remember the final scene of Animal Farm; when the animals were looking through the farmhouse window at the pigs and the men having dinner together? And the outside observers couldn’t tell the difference between the two? The pigs and the men, who began as polar opposites, had merged into one group.

    It’s getting a bit like that in here now. I’ve watched this thread with amusement, but the obsessiveness with which you are still chasing Neil’s nonsensical garbage is beyond rational. You can’t pin his willo-the-wisp arguments down. He is uprooted from the world and you know it. But still you doggedly write miles and miles of posts pointing out this and refuting that, ignoring the fact that it is a total waste of time.

    You are starting to resemble him.

  228. on 20 Aug 2009 at 11:18 pm Mim

    Messing, the Arabs-are-Semites thing is not very helpful when talking about the term “anti-semitism” given that it means and always has meant Jew-hatin’. I tend to use “Judaeophobia” precisely to avoid getting into that since it’s a bit of a head-against-brick-wall exercise.

    That said, I’m still reading this thread so anything I say about not beating heads against brick walls is obviously hypocritical nonsense.

  229. on 20 Aug 2009 at 11:19 pm Mim

    I note that the first RSS comment that is blahed was by “Messing With Neil’s Head”. I assume it’s an attempt to blah only him, as was suggested some time ago. However, instead of blahing only him on the main web page (and presumably in the RSS comments feed), it’s blahed everyone on the RSS comments feed and no-one on the web pages.

  233. on 21 Aug 2009 at 1:51 am Simon

    @FP: Don’t despair. I know I’ll never persuade him of ‘owt. But sometimes, just sometimes, it’s fun to play with him. Bored of him now.

    I’ll give Neil this much though: I don’t reckon he’s a frothing bigot. I don’t reckon he *really* hates anyone. I reckon he’s just got caught up into the BNP’s world-view of certain matters. If Neil honestly thought the BNP were more for hate than justice, he’d recoil from them.
    That’s the full majesty of my Internet Ad-Hoc Reckon.

    @Chris: That quote from Kurt Vonnegut (Mother Night, if I remember): I’ve often thought exactly the same thing, by which I mean based on the same KV source, about Melanie Phillips. Now this is nopt going to win me any friends here, and I MUST point out that I cannot bare to read her internet uber-hate, but most times I hear her on the radio, I usually find her quite reasonable, if a little confrontational …. BUT, here comes the missing tooth: get her onto Israel or Islam ::: BANG goes the cog in her head as that missing tooth is … erm … missed. She has an absolute blind spot for not seeing her own bias and bigotry. That woman dispises anything with cous-cous, and you get the Melanie that we all know and hate.
    And Craig is a bit like that, but with less innate intelligence and a different trigger.

  234. on 21 Aug 2009 at 2:18 am Chris

    You probably know, Phillips used to write for the Guardian. So did Julie Burchill. They both left because they accused the Guardian of rabid anti-Semitism. Neil’s effectively opted out of rational thought because he believes in…

    …well, I’m not quite sure. But it must be pretty fucking tragic when you can’t even run to the Daily Mail to have your views shored up.

    Kelvin Aka’s revolving series of lies turns again

    “Having actually read my blog
    No Neil, I haven’t read your blog.”

    Initially we had his word that though he is a lying racist turd he honestly believed that 210 murdered bodies wasn’t evidence of a massacre.

    Then that, though he is a lying, racist, holocaust denying, racist turd, he accepted that while 210 murdered is a massacre, he honestly doubted, from his examination of the facts, that it had been done by NATO police/KLA.

    Now he says that, as a disgusting, lying, holocaust denying, genocidal, Nazi turd he hasn’t even bothered to check out what it has been denouncing.

    No wonder every remotely decent human on here has denounced it.

    Neil, if the proof was so evident as you claim, why would I need to read your blog? You’d be able to link to it, instead of having to link to partial evidence and making leaps of logic. Why should I assume that the very important evidence hidden away on your blog is anything but longer and more impenetrable versions of the rants you post here?

    Anyway, I agree with FP. This is boring. You’re boring. Go and lose some more elections.

    Remember, George Alagiah works for the racist, Nazi BBC. So that makes him a racist by association. So it’s not racist to call him by a stereotypical name for a race that he’s not even part of, just because he has skin of a similar hue to them.

    Well, apparently Neil does have more than one personality… and curiously enough, they all think they’re BBC journalists. It’s comforting to know that, like the ‘host’ personality, they’re all delusional in some part.

    Of course, as anyone who did A level psychology will know (that is, anyone who did it in 2000 or before will know, because these days A levels are just too easy and you’re a thick cunt if you do well or learn anything) multiple personality disorder is often a result of abuse. This lends credence to the theory that Neil was abused by Andy Kadir-Buxton as a child.

    My logic is unbreakable. If you try and take it apart, you’re a racist.

    By the way Neil, I didn’t think that you were actually a racist until I read the latest pile of dog-wank you spurted out up there. Now I’m pretty sure you are, and best of all, there’s actual evidence to prove it.

    I like your latest leap of logic, by the way. And the real BBC are on here and taking names, remember. I’m up for a giant reward for being a liberal pussy with an education – although it’s actually because I willingly decided to become another cog in the machine.

    You, you’re going to get your balls cut off by Jonathan Ross. Then Graham Norton will rub shit into the admittedly tiny wound. That’s what you get when you fuck with the man.

  257. So if the name Alibaba is automatically racist, as in all the pantos, then misuse of my name makes most here racist. That means it is cos I is Scottish rather than cos none of you “liberal cunts with an education” can actually string together an honest or coherent point.

    Heyup Neil. I was just pondering some important questions and it occurred to me that you probably have the answers already. Can you help me? Here they are:

    1) Which AI is the best current AI? How long will it be before an AI can make up a new dance to go with a song. Not like the dances those Sony or Honda robots do… I mean a dance that REALLY goes with the song, like Whigfield’s one for “Saturday Night”. Remember it? It somehow just “fits” in a way that I wouldn’t expect Wolfram Alpha to understand.

    2) How much Iranium do I need to make a nuclear reactor? Oh, and if I wanted to have a glass window to view the reactor core through, how thick would it have to be and how can I stop it sooting up? Can I used normal glass? And how many horsepowers would it give off if I put a whole sack of Iranium in at once?

    3) Is it ok to like “Total Wipeout USA” more than the UK version?

    Thanks!

    Says you, Neil. Afghanistan has the richest deposists of iranium ever discovered. That’s why we invaded. (Ironically, Iran does not have afghanistanium deposits) Your belief that Iranium doesn’t exist is sad but compelling proof of a massive conspiracy. The more you deny it, the more evident the conspiracy becomes.

    Would you like dozens of references to places on the internet where I’ve tried to explain Iranium’s existence, as proof that I’m right? And don’t try to defend yourself by showing me that propaganda mockery; The Elements Table. If you believe that neo-nazi filth, you’ll believe anything.
