Woolwich Incident

[Mich the Tester]

you raised the situation as an example of a successful long drawn out enquiry. I pointed out it didn't identify his immigration status effectively, the full facts surrounding the shooting (I'm pretty sure there are more) or result in anyone being penalised for a disgraceful screw up and cover up.

You jumped on the immigration point and stated without evidence he wasn't an illegal when it was quite clearly a vague situation and the government are keen to keep it that way.

You did, and it's entirely irrelevant to what happened.

Modern philosophy and mathematics is based on 'some books written thousands of years ago' so you only have one point to make, not two.

And from that comment you clearly have none.

HTH, BIDI.

it is if they are willfully covering it up

Maybe if you could focus on the point you want to make rather than pulling cheap tricks to discredit the other viewpoint you wouldn't look such a fool.

If religion is such an easy target, you shouldn't have to resort to such tactics as "it's from a long time ago so it can't be trusted". Heard of Socrates, Plato & Pythagoras? I mean surely triangles have moved on in the last 2500 years...

But surely they have been analysed, reviewed and updated? They have also proven their validity time and time again. Anyone who wants to can challenge and over turn established maths and therefore science. Anyone who wants to argue about philosophy is welcome to.

The point of the holy books is that they were divinely inspired and perfectly correct at the time they were written and updating them would be seen as heresy, isn't it?

Very interesting - so it says to not exceed the limits. These guys have exceeded all limits and boundaries!

It says not to exceed limits, but to kill them...

Can you see the point yet? Interpretation.

Who is covering his immigration status up? The police speculated on his immigration status and lied about a whole lot more, trying to get themselves out of a situation where they fooked up and killed a man with no evidence to support doing so; they were clutching at straws when they should have had the basic decency and respect for the law to say 'oops it looks like we've made a dreadful mistake'. The people who tried to cover up what happened are in my books not much better than those two scumbags that killed the soldier in London yesterday, and instead of being promoted they should be rotting in prison having extra arses made for them in the showers every day, preferably by the two probably quite well endowed Nigerians who'll be going to prison shortly.

Why? The original script was inspired by an a creature who knows everything, is everywhere and can do anything. What mistakes or omissions he could possibly have made?

Triangles and mythical people.
