OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[The Silverdale Phantom]

@callmack1

The pride of the mods,
the best that there is
Runs a good forum
By respect and good will

His reports are the best
And run several pages
The play of the ball
And all of the phases

He lives in NZ,
high on the hill
But mind melds with Reggie
A strange kind of thrill

He knows every south’s player
And the brand of their boot
Their wife’s brand of lipstick
The amount of their loot.
( or when they do …….)

All the other mods are jealous
For showing them up
Parked on their forum
Eating donuts.

One mod to rule over them all
They are forever in his shadow!

I hate it that Gary owns me at poetry…

Al Jazeera... Say no more..

They still are saying it was Israel without evidence.

Biden floating around is just comedy gold.

Yes, they are claiming it is Israel as are others while Israel is flatly denying it.

I was just making the point that I think these things can be established by fact rather than theory. And it may be that states hostile to the us can try to prove it. At the UN for example.

The state of Qatar which owns Al Jazeera has contacts with Hamas, which I am well aware of. Most of the content is from one perspective, sure.

During the war, there has been talk of terrorists hiding under hospitals and things as safe zones.

But 1000 rockets a day into the strip, with no warning, cutting off supplies and things, trapping people in an effort to bring hamas to heel doesn’t make much sense.

The hamas network is underground and apart from the bunker busters, is largely impervious.

The means here, don’t justify the ends.

And Biden is no doubt pro-Israel, but the more public he is about it, the more dangerous things become.

In theory he could bring more assets in to support the conflict, but what happens then and afterwards?

These events create more terrorists and make the world less safe. And support for the us from other countries is being tested. It might hasten the end of US geopolitical dominance. Something weve we’ve depended upon for some time.

Bogged down in another middle eastern Vietnam?

@Avenger

In the realm of certainty, there's a man named Avenger,
Overly self-assured, but his knowledge is slender.
He's a master of flip-flop, changing views on a whim,
Leaving everyone bewildered, unable to fathom him.

With an air of confidence, he blusters and boasts,
Yet beneath the bravado, his understanding's a ghost.
He claims Parramatta Eels are the team he adores,
But in secret, Cronulla Sharks, behind closed doors.

An enigma of passion, a paradox, it seems,
He calls for coach's sacking in his fiery dreams.
An angry Serbian, with fervor he shouts,
Mark McGuire as savior, he earnestly touts.

But his loyalty's fickle, his judgments unfair,
In this tumultuous journey, he's caught in a snare.
For Avenger, the paradox, who changes his line,
Leaves us all in wonder, in his world so undefined.

In the game of conviction, he's a puzzle to unfold,
A riddle wrapped in mystery, a story to be told.
As the Eels and Sharks play on in their glory,
Avenger's perplexing tale, a never-ending story.

@Gary Gutful

In real life I’m actually a wiz,
At least I don’t always talk about jizz.

I don’t always get it it wrong,
Mainly because I don’t pull on a cock shaped bong.

Yes I have the biggest house with a great view,
I told you about Bitcoin but you went all Jew.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I hate it that Gary owns me at poetry…

In the realm of poetry, there's a tale to be told,
Of two poets, distinct, with their verses bold.
Gary Gutful, a wordsmith, a masterful hand,
His lines flowed like rivers, across the land.

The Silverdale Phantom, with passion and zeal,
Sought to capture hearts with words that feel.
But no matter how hard, he'd strive to compete,
Gary Gutful's talent remained truly elite.

In a world of make-believe, there's a guy named Avenger,
Says he's rolling in riches, life's a grand adventure.
Claims a mansion with a view, Bitcoin profits on his side,
But the truth is quite a different ride.

You came here to give me a flex,

@hineyrulz

In a corner of the city, where stories unfold,
Lives a man named Hineyrulz, in a world so cold.
He's a sailor of Kraken, on the high seas of night,
His lime scooter his vessel, in the pale moonlight.

He'd ride through the streets to Chardons Corner with glee,
A place where he thought his worth he'd decree.
With tales of his posts on 'League Unlimited' to share,
He sought admiration, but found an empty air.

The Kraken's embrace, it blurred his delight,
As he yearned for connections in the depths of the night.
But the patrons at Chardons, they scarcely gave heed,
To Hineyrulz's stories, his desperate need.

Alone and dejected, he'd mount his lime steed,
And ride to his house, in the darkness recede.
Desperation his companion, solitude his plight,
In the silent abyss of his own lonely night.

Hineyrulz, a man with tales untold,
Sought solace in liquor, in stories so bold.
But in the end, his scooter his only confidant,
In a world of disinterest, his lonely enchant.

 

[Gary Gutful]

You came here to give me a flex,
Whilst I just bought my second Rolex.

In the realm of watches, a tale unfolds,
A man with desires, his story to be told.
He yearned for a Rolex, its grand allure,
But beneath the facade, a truth unsure.

The watch, a Casio, it couldn't keep time,
A lesson learned in this watch's rhyme.
In the world of facades, where appearances sway,
A Casio with courage, had its own say.

Are they ? I think it’s reasonable to say that in this war, Israel who are bombing the f**k out of Gaza, are guilty until proven otherwise. It’s a tad ridiculous to believe them all if a sudden. Maybe they made a mistake ? Even below, they admit not telling the truth in the past- but they really did this time.

How has the narrative shifted since the Gaza hospital explosion?

Denials of responsibility and deleted social media posts arouse suspicion around Israel’s view of the attack.

1000 a day with no warning?

They are at war and Hamas has told the people not to leave their homes, after they were told to leave..

Hamas don't care about their civilians just like Israel don't care about them.

The wokey left are actually supporting the Russian President when he is supporting Palestine.

Let's ignore the deaths in the Ukraine

[emjaycee]

Ive logged into the forum this morning to read,
poems by Gutful, some are not a bad read,
He's written about Nutz and there's some for Avenger,
Hindyoneeleven and Hineyrulz, the forum's resident whinger.

Putting thoughts into prose is a skill some possess,
But does Gary have the ability to pass the ultimate test?
Try sitting in the stands on any game day,
And write a poem in context about your team and who they play.

If you can do it for 24, nay 27 rounds,
Then we'll all happily admit,
That your skill knows no bounds.

Cool so if a hospital gets nuked in Ukraine, it's totally woke to assume that it was Russia. First reaction should be balanced and that whilst it could have been Russia, it could have also been a wayward Ukraine missile or even a false flag attack from the radical Militia , delivered to be deliberately disruptive and extended the conflict.

No the first reaction is who the f**k nuked a hospital.
But like I said go woke jump to conclusions.
Just like the "Unbiased" media

What does this mean ? Did you mean to say the terrorist group Hamas ?

Who is supporting Hamas ?

It means the wokey left are jumping on and supporting Vlad when he should be also attacked for his war against Ukraine but they forget about that war...

Exactly. The timing of this is so obvious. Classic diversion tactic.

Not a bad little diddy. Enjoy.

And this is a great little follow up. Enjoy...if you can.
