Sweeney,where do you get off? Are you just bent on disrupting all conversation on these boards? I said let's make peace, and then you start acting like even more of an ass.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Real English biscuits are awsome. Nanner, depending on the size of your area, there is likely an import store around somewhere. Most decent sized towns have one hiding around someplace. They are usually have things like McVitie's. They are usually way over priced though... they prey upon desperate foreigners seeking a taste of home and world travelers unfortunately enough to have tasted and fallen in love with products not generally sold or produced on their continent. Man, now I have a hankering for a good European beer and foods that just aren't quite the same in the states. I wonder how long it will be before they invent site to site transporters... how great would it be to zip over to Italy for lunch and zip back when you're done.

I'm the one who said "lets just leave each other alone. Then you started making jokes. You have strange way of making peace. Jerk.

Well see, we had this user named TotalBiscuit who came here once to cause a ruckus (see the thread I linked to earlier). So now, whenever someone is being rather absurd, we refer to them as a total biscuit. This doesn't just apply to just forum members. For instance, Jack Thompson would be a total biscuit.

Yes, you said,

Originally posted by: Sweeney599I'm no young kid looking for attention, and I don't want your pity. Lets just leave each alone.


And I posted saying that just because we don't agree politically doesn't mean we have to disagree on everything else. I told you that I do not enjoy picking on you and that I was not going to do it anymore and that you had my respect. So yeah, I did try to make peace with you. I am not trying to take credit for your initive to peace making.

Then Nanner told me not to even bother trying to make peace with you, because you were a "total biscuit", which is our term for someone who tries to stir up trouble, or says absurd things. It is not that big of an insult, and even if it was a huge insult, I am not the one who said it. None of my responses from then on have had anything to do with you at all, up until you started calling us jerks and telling us to shut the fuck up. Nanner did call you a total biscuit, and his total biscuit comment got us talking about the real total biscuit and remembering old times.

I am probably wasting time spelling all this out to you. Calm down, take it easy, we do have more entertaining things to talk about than you. In fact, I am getting pretty sick of talking about you, no offense, but you just arn't that interesting of a person.

So, let's try this getting along thing again, shall we? If you have no interest in trying to get along, maybe you ought to find another forum. The forum at this site, http://wcradio.com/, I have heard are quite good.

I just did a search for those and found a site called ukgoods.com , and I may just have to order some. I don't think anything I've seen on that site is sold over here, (remember, we don't get chocolate hobnobs or anything like that).

I noticed Walker's had some pretty bizarre varieties of crisps, especially compared to over here: Pickled Onion (Monster Munch), Prawn Cocktail, Roast Chicken, Smoky Bacon, Steak & Onion, and Worcester Sauce.


ukgoods.com....great site. If I ever moved to the states, I at least know where to get my goodies. Gotta have my biscuits with a nice cup of tea in the evening. Dark Chocolate digestives are my fave, and salt n vinegar or smoky bacon for the crisps.

Just seen they do all the chocolates too. Can't beat cadburys for the chocs....curly wurly...but galaxy caramel is just so yum God...I sound like a right fat greedy porker!!

Would you say there's anything on that site that I should definitely just stay away from? Like I said, I don't think I've even so much as seen any of that stuff up close, much less purchased any.

I didn't see Bovril on there though, now that I think about it.

Sieg Heil.

Oh, so it's ok to violate the law if you don't like it? Well then, I'll just come over there and take all your belongings. What's that you say? That's not fair? Who said anything about fair?

nope. It is never appropriate for a barbaric animal to strangle to kids. He could have seriously injured them or killed them.


It is appropriate. Neither you nor I know what those kids really might have had for one. For another, as Ferris said, he wasn't strangling them. I grabbed them around the neck and back in order to get them on the ground. If those officers showed up on my front door with my kids, I'd first thank the officers and then give my kid a nice grounding. He'd probably be grounded for at least 3 months. No tv, phone, skateboard, computer (except for school work), or anything. The child would spend less than 24 hours in jail, but he'd spend the next 3 months in his home prison.

You mean this Rodney King? The one who was awarded $3.8 million for the beating? The one who, even though the article doesn't mention it, was high on PCP at the time. Seriously, watch that video. There's no way you'd even be able to move if you weren't high on PCP. This is the same Rodney King that already had a criminal record at that time. And he had been in a high speed chase leading up to that incident. $3.8 million sounds like a pretty high level of vindication to me, even though I don't think he deserved a dime. You do know that if he had just laid still they would have stopped hitting him.

that is not what I meant. I meant that we should show a little common sense. These only kids riding skateboards, not thieves coming into my house taking my belongings. What do you want cops to do? beat everyone over the head for every little infraction of the law they make? I think your head would get very sore.

funny it looks as if that is exactly what he did, and they continued to beat him. It is clear the cops went too far.

none of this really as any bearing on my point that is is possible to lose your case in court even when you are in the right.

The point is that the cop used massively excessive force preportional to the crime. The man obviously has some anger issues for him to show such aggression over a minor, and rather common, by-law infraction committed by barely-teenagers. Its not like he beat the shit out of someone or anything--but the point is that the potential is there. If he reacts this way to a freaking kid who is skateboarding in a park, its not a stretch to imagine him pulling a Rodney King. And thats something the public should be concerned about. Police officers shouldn't be man-handling 14 year old kids for skateboarding.

true. But right now, we have been talking about the second video, not the first. I think most here agree that the cop in the first video went too far.

No, it's called get control of the situation first. If someone is fighting you, you get control of them first, then you frisk them. How do you know if they had a knife or not? They don't need to have a gun to be a threat.

It is an excuse when you feel like your life could be in danger. Have you ever talked to a cop that's been faced with someone coming at them that is clearly high on PCP? It takes billy clubs and several tasers to take the person down, so it's a very scary situation.

Criminal records do mean a lot. Hence why we now have a 3 strikes law in California. Criminal records go to your history and show what you're likely to do.

I don't really give a fuck you little prick. He got $3.8 million dollars and then proceeded to break the law some more at a later date. He even tried to sue again at that later date except the cops were a little smarter and didn't beat him up.

And a lot of America (about half of it) thought slavery was ok. And a lot of America wanted to be ruled by the King of England back in 1775. Just because "a lot of America" disagrees with something, doesn't make them right. And the mayor and DA pretty much gave in to avoid any further public outrage. "No justice, no peace"? What the hell is that? A white man gets beaten and nobody cares. A black man gets beaten and people riot in the streets destroying their neighborhood. Who's in the right on that one smartass?

Watch the fucking tape clearly jackass. It's quite obvious that he attempted to get up several times only to be hit and told "Stay down!" each and every time!

And we have appeals courts for that. The POINT is that there is a SYSTEM in place for "righting a wrong" and that doesn't involve running from the cops or trying to fight them.

it was an out of control situation because the cops overreacted. There has to be a better way of controlling the situation than strangling two kids.

this happened because there has been a long history of black men getting beaten up and lynched and etc and nobody caring. When the Rodney King ruling came down, people just got fed up. It is of course no excuse for beating up and innocent white man. Neither are right.

I guess we are watching different tapes. Because I saw him just laying there while they beat him.

you can still lose in appeals court. My point is that someone might feel that even though they are right, they have no chance in court. So from their perspective, the best thing for them to do is run.
