I'm sure I can convince somebody to give it a shot, if only for the laughs. By the time it's over "Zero" might well be the most accurate description of your acting career.<BR/><BR/>By the way, women tend to be fickle, and I have heard Brit women are amongst the worse. When a woman takes the time to stoke her boyfriends ego on a public blog that might be a sign of trouble ahead. I wonder how many of your play's performances she sat through. For that matter, I wonder how often the person that got you the job has been in the audience.

By adding the term "twat", you have obviously mistaken me for yourself. <BR/><BR/>You don't want me to review Zero, I promise you. I would not give it the treatment I have read on certain websites who rate it due to agreement with its political point of view-which as I am sure we are all aware is nonsense. I might give it a thumbs up on the writing and acting, etc., but I would probably come to the conclusion that it is in all probability a bit of propaganda that is not worth the time of the average theater-goer.<BR/><BR/>As for the war on drugs, I am against it as another example of how our oh so educated American government leaders have acted in matters beyond their normal constitutional prerogatives. No Democrat publicly wishes to end the war on drugs, and in fact I think it was a Democratic controlled government who got the ball rolling in the nineteen thirties when they outlawed marijuana.<BR/><BR/>Be that as it may, the responsibility for drug laws are shared across the board by liberals and conservatives, by Democrats and Republicans.<BR/><BR/>I would legalize and regulate marijuana, and all other drugs would be legal, but limited to the confines of medical and pharmaceutical research. I think the US government should buy all the poppy crop in Afghanistan and in time allow the pharmaceutical companies to do so. It would supply the Afghan farmer with real money to invest in other crops and modern farming, it would supply the pharmaceutical companies with the product they need for research, it would deprive the Taliban of a source of income, and it would severely limit the scourge of a dangerously addictive drug flowing into American streets.<BR/><BR/>As for legitimately recreational and/or spiritual drugs, legalization and the regulations that would follow would bring in enough money to pay for their regulation, while reducing the numbers of people in our prisons. It would also add to the overall economy by adding a popular product to the store shelves which I am sure would make their producers a lot of money, thus enabling them to hire extra workers.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, you don't know me. But I know you, all too well. You are a man who thinks he knows it all, and doesn't know shit. You kind of put me in mind of a near-sighted cartoon character named Mr. Magoo, constantly stumbling into first one situation after another unaware that he can't see right in front of his nose. He is quite funny as well.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-30037735813475096792008-12-16T13:04:00.001-06:002008-12-16T13:04:00.001-06:00Peshwari nann.Peshwari nann.Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-15393285884242136842008-12-16T13:04:00.000-06:002008-12-16T13:04:00.000-06:00War on drugs anyone?War on drugs anyone?Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-67201239564528307262008-12-16T13:03:00.000-06:002008-12-16T13:03:00.000-06:00Review this you condescending twat who wouldn't kn...Review <A HREF="http://cache.jalopnik.com/assets/resources/2008/04/fail-dog.jpg" REL="nofollow">this</A> you condescending twat who wouldn't know debate if it bit his arse or sound politcal thinking, you shameless man.Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-86488481678079567472008-12-16T12:59:00.000-06:002008-12-16T12:59:00.000-06:00Whoops you did it again...You Fail!Whoops you did it again...<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.cotterfail.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/cotter-fail-again.jpg" REL="nofollow">You Fail!</A>Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-47835673402787588112008-12-16T12:10:00.000-06:002008-12-16T12:10:00.000-06:00Failed?

You assumed, wrongly, that you could browbeat me into submission with your name-calling and insults. Well, you failed. Everything I have said is right on. <BR/><BR/>I'll give you this much, you are a decent actor, I saw your Keno commercial on YouTube, and you were good, which is saying something coming from a person who can't understand a word of Norwegian. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll get a chance to see Zero one of these days, if somebody manages to post it on YouTube. I think it's a fallacious storyline, but that's irrelevant. I am capable of judging the play by its artistic standards as well as its obvious bias and slant, and will do both. I would like to review it. <BR/><BR/>You should concentrate on your art, and realize that your stridency and nastiness towards those who do not share your point of view is not conducive to building your career. I just gave as good as I got. Actually, I think I gave you a taste of your own medicine. I have shown you for what you are, an elitist, arrogant snob who has the unfortunate European mindset that you are superior to the rest of the world. You are not. You are just another Euro-leftist who likes to imagine he is enlightened. <BR/><BR/>Europe has not changed. They spent centuries pillaging, raping, razing, and oppressing the world, and now they are trying to continue using just another tactic, an empire with a smiley face.<BR/><BR/>Your international aspirations have already caused the world to crash and burn even faster than I thought it would. I blame the leaders of my country for all of this as much as I blame yours, by the way. I am not big fan of or apologist for the American government. Despite their Harvard and other Ivy-League based educations, American leaders in conjunction with those in Europe have brought the world to the brink of ruin and despair. <BR/><BR/>That is because they have NOT governed in accordance with American Constitutional principles, but have tried to become part of this sham called the "global community" which is nothing more than a further attempt to control the destinies of every country in the world, for their own benefit. <BR/><BR/>Still, I have no doubt that Europeans will continue to empower those who have led to this state of affairs. In America, we tend to give them the boot when they get out of line. The Democrats and Republicans both have felt our ire, and I have no doubt both will continue to feel it. The Democrats will doubtless overreach, and the Republicans will gradually regain power, maybe quicker than you or even I imagine. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime, Europeans keep falling for the same old crap, time and again, and blaming America for their own foolishness and short-sightedness, sort of like you blaming Americans for the British governments, as well as the French, policy of exploitation of the American Indian, and their further manipulations of them which led in turn to the problems Americans have had with them.<BR/><BR/>But that's Europe for you. Never examine your own faults when you can always find another party to blame for your misdeeds, and when something happens you can't sweep under the rug, make a law against discussing the topic and hope it will go away.<BR/><BR/>Well, I am not going away.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-64899589032022229232008-12-16T03:48:00.000-06:002008-12-16T03:48:00.000-06:00As I've said a million times, this is pointless an...As I've said a million times, this is pointless and a waste of life.

Everything I've said is right on the money, ...Nope. Everything I've said is right on the money, and you know it is. When you know you've lost, you make shit up, like saying I'm against welfare. Where did you dig that up from? I'm not against welfare, if anything I just think it doesn't go far enough towards addressing the root cause of the problems. It should address job training and responsibility, and should focus on keeping families together, as opposed to tearing them apart. If it was run right it would pay long-term dividends. The left doesn't want to run it right, though, they want to keep people dependent on subsistence level wages for life, and through multiple generations, as opposed to really helping them get on their feet and live independently with a little dignity.<BR/><BR/>So much for that. Your assessment of American-Indian relations is another laugh riot, obviously based on ignorant, prejudiced European views towards your betters-i.e., people who had the common sense and good fortune to get the hell away from the mad house that was Europe (and still is-a madhouse, that is).<BR/><BR/>I know the history of the French and Indian War, and the War of 1812. American hatreds of the Indians is directly traceable back to atrocities committed by Indians with the incitement and encouragement of first the French and then the British during those two wars, and to a less extent the Revolutionary War, in places like Kentucky.<BR/><BR/>That's just the way it is. Also, I know the right has their faults, and they have contributed to many of our problems, just as I know the left has done some good things. On balance, however, the right is far superior. To be more precise, the minds of most Americans are in the center, be that slightly left of or right of center. <BR/><BR/>The point is, you can't pick and choose what kind of speech is acceptable, or what kinds of policies are acceptable or not for public discourse and consideration. You cannot limit policy considerations and call yourself democratic. <BR/><BR/>Yes, we believe in the death penalty and our gun rights. Our gun rights is how we make sure our government doesn't ever become a tyranny. It's more than just protecting ourselves from the criminal element or hunting, though those are part of it too. <BR/><BR/>Your screed against guns and the death penalty is a very good reason why Americans like me want nothing to do with Europe. Our gun laws and death penalty is NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM US!<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, if you don't like to take part in this discussion, shut the fuck up and move on. <BR/><BR/>At least we are in agreement on one thing-Milosevic. If I had had my way, you motherfuckers would have dealt with him on your own. He probably would have been Master of Europe by now, but I frankly wouldn't give a fuck. How could he be any worse than what you have now? If Putin was to take your asses over, I would applaud. You deserve each other.<BR/><BR/>I am in favor of ending NATO, by the way, something that does not quite meet agreement from the right. Well, too bad. It's time for you fucks to sink or swim on your own, as far as I'm concerned.<BR/><BR/>As for the "help" you've been in Iraq and Afghanistan, don't make me fucking laugh. Your soldiers have been stationed in the most docile parts of the country, and when things started to turn bad there, you left. HaHa thanks for the "help", Limey. As for Afghanistan, most NATO troops there refuse to do anything other than peacekeeping. They won't fight unless attacked, and then they have to think about it. What a bunch of fucking wussies.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-26509187872816510362008-12-15T04:26:00.000-06:002008-12-15T04:26:00.000-06:00And this still goes on?THERE IS NO POINT TO THIS!I...And this still goes on?<BR/><BR/>THERE IS NO POINT TO THIS!<BR/><BR/>Ireland is in Europe, deal with it.<BR/><BR/>Your writing so far has been full of hate and nonsense about Europe and now you retreat.

Please read more books on this matter.<BR/><BR/>"Our crime rate and the rate of incarceration is directly related to the influence of leftist politics"<BR/><BR/>WOAH THERE! First off, the whole of America is a European import, or more accurately export, anything that was indigious was destroyed. Second off, the high level of incarceration, execution and criminlisation of pretty much anything but especially drug misuse are all right-wing policies. Any slightly left-wing person would encourage de-crimnilisaion, less people in nick becuase it doesn't work and a removal of the death penalty. Try getting that past any red state...<BR/><BR/>Next you'll be telling me that 'liberals' invented AIDS...<BR/><BR/>And so hate welfare as well? Good giref you are a Tory aren't you?

Something you would hate.<BR/><BR/>"That and the majority of other problems in America can be traced to the influence of leftist politics."<BR/><BR/>It's that easy is it?

It doesn;t surprise me, you are scared and fearful, you want to bury your head in the sand and deny the rest of the world is out there, except to use it as something to put all the balme on.<BR/><BR/>It's never your fault is it? Is that how you live your life?<BR/><BR/>THIS ISN'T A DEBATE, IT's APOINTLESS AND PETTY TIT-FOR-TAT THAT YOU SEEM TO HAVE NO SHAME ABOUT ENGAGING IN.<BR/><BR/>I've also noticed that you don;t bother to deal with points you have no answer for.

That is precisely why your leaders have to buy you off with promises of entitlements. It's to keep you people docile, otherwise you're liable to burn your own damn continent down around your ears."<BR/><BR/>You're telling me that in a civilised debate, about Europe, you put those words out there and you'd not be embarrassed? They are the words of a bigot, which you are clearly.<BR/><BR/>The whole world has to work together, no time for ideas of individual nations protecting self-interest, luckily, Obama is on roughly the same page so for 4 years at least, your kind of idiot values will have to take a back seat.<BR/><BR/>I tell you this, the silly froth and hatred you pour out on a whole continent tells me a few things about you:<BR/><BR/>I think you hit women.<BR/>I think you are very lonely.<BR/>I think you're scared of your place in the world.<BR/>I think secretly, you are a racist.<BR/>I think you own a firearm, which you insert deep within your belly button and bring off your own guts in a wonderful, sexy way and spray your man glue all over your belly.<BR/>I think you like to stick your pudgy cock into Pop Tarts.<BR/>I think you rape ovens.<BR/><BR/>And I know for a fact you're a European.<BR/><BR/>This debate is over, from now on, I can't take you seriously so madness will ensue becuase, and I don't think you've spotted this, we're not talking or listening, just pissing in the wind.<BR/><BR/>And your trousers are very, very wet.<BR/><BR/>xxxxDaniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-65791001370264832662008-12-14T17:17:00.000-06:002008-12-14T17:17:00.000-06:00No, I am not European, I am an American of Europea...No, I am not European, I am an American of European (mostly Irish) descent. I do not hate Europe or Europeans. I am just pointing out certain aspects of European history that makes it arrogant, to say the very least, for you to judge the country that has saved your ass on more than one occasion, the country whose influence has permitted you to live in relative peace and security for more than sixty years, very likely the first time in its three thousand year history it has done so for such a long stretch. And believe me, it has not been easy. <BR/><BR/>We still had to step in and stop Milosevic. You enlightened Europeans seemed incapable of handling him on your own. If we had not, you would doubtless be inundated with hundreds of thousands of Albanian refugees to abuse and be abused by. You're welcome.<BR/><BR/>Our crime rate and the rate of incarceration is directly related to the influence of leftist politics, another European import, which has worked to divide and weaken the family unit, especially amongst minorities, and most especially amongst blacks, who make up the highest percentage of incarcerated Americans.<BR/><BR/>Leftist politics decided to dole out subsistence wages to minority peoples, especially blacks, in a vain hope of keeping them docile and dependent on the leftist Democratic Party, who decided that a married couple were not qualified to receive them. Thus, families broke up in order to continue receiving the dole, resulting in single-parent families with large numbers of children stuck in neighborhoods that were by their natures mired in poverty, drugs, and all the crime such areas breed regardless of race.<BR/><BR/>That and the majority of other problems in America can be traced to the influence of leftist politics.<BR/><BR/>As for the Indians, we also have you to thank for that. It was the French, during the French and Indian War, who agitated them against the Brits and the then loyal colonists, and it was later the Brits who further agitated them against the Americans in the War of 1812. <BR/><BR/>Before those two events, the first in the 1750's, the second in the 1810's, relations were strained and uncomfortable, but not desperate. Following the savagery of those wars, a turning point was reached from which there was no turning back. <BR/><BR/>Yes, Americans committed atrocities, but it was by no means one sided, and they were traceable directly back to those two events. Europe's stench permeates both. <BR/><BR/>You have no stomach to face up to the excesses of your past. Not that I can blame you, it would embarrass me as well. Do you realize how stupid you sound when you refer to the history of your sad, sorry continent as one that was a "more human friendly model".<BR/><BR/>Really? What replaced the Roman Empire was human friendly? Is that your position? Holy crap, it really is an education to debate one as deluded as yourself.<BR/><BR/>You people have not advanced or improved. You are the same ignorant blood thirsty barbaric savages that you were two thousand years ago. That is precisely why your leaders have to buy you off with promises of entitlements. It's to keep you people docile, otherwise you're liable to burn your own damn continent down around your ears. <BR/><BR/>It hasn't been that long ago since Hitler and Stalin, you know. We are not talking about ancient history now, we are talking about people whom some people living today can remember reading about in the news of their day. How much do you think you could possibly have advanced in that amount of time? You would do it all over again without breaking a sweat if not for the influence of the US.<BR/><BR/>That's the real reason deep down you want the US to be your "partners". You are hoping you can use the US to keep your barbarism in check, and in the meantime you're hoping we won't catch on so you can pretend you are the "enlightened" ones. <BR/><BR/>Deep down though, you know the fucking truth. You fucking people shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects without supervision. Well, I'm tired of supervising a continent of ingrates who want to pretend they are oh so fucking superior. <BR/><BR/>Your arrogance sir is exceeded only by your ignorance.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-52802279093906088762008-12-14T16:19:00.000-06:002008-12-14T16:19:00.000-06:00Here is an article I read and I thought of you... ...Here is an article I read and I thought of you...<BR/><BR/> “Let’s just quickly describe in the most dispassionate terms, as few of euphemisms, as possible, where we are and what has happened over the last eight years. We have a law in place that says it is a felony offense punishable by five years in prison or a $10,000 fine to eavesdrop on American citizens without warrants. We have laws in place that say that it is a felony punishable by decades in prison to subject detainees in our custody to treatment that violates the Geneva Conventions or that is inhumane or coercive.<BR/><BR/> We know that the president and his top aides have violated these laws. The facts are indisputable that they’ve done so. And yet as a country, as a political class, we’re deciding basically in unison that the president and our highest political officials are free to break the most serious laws that we have, that our citizens have enacted, with complete impunity, without consequences, without being held accountable under the law.<BR/><BR/> And when you juxtapose that with the fact that we are a country that has probably the most merciless criminal justice system on the planet when it comes to ordinary Americans. We imprison more of our population than any country in the world. We have less than five percent of the world’s population. And yet 25 percent almost of prisoners worldwide are inside the United States.<BR/><BR/> What you have is a two-tiered system of justice where ordinary Americans are subjected to the most merciless criminal justice system in the world. They break the law. The full weight of the criminal justice system comes crashing down upon them. But our political class, the same elites who have imposed that incredibly harsh framework on ordinary Americans, have essentially exempted themselves and the leaders of that political class from the law.”Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-32772440016518982402008-12-14T16:18:00.000-06:002008-12-14T16:18:00.000-06:00You're still going?

Have you no shame?<BR/><BR/>That first bit is bad maths, for a start off you're a young country and you've done a lot of killing in a short time BUT that's not the point, this isn't about saying this continent killed this many and this continent that many, how pointless and vulgar is that?<BR/><BR/>I like how you dismiss a whole continent, surely you understand that is daft and makes you look small minded and xenophobic. That's because you are.<BR/><BR/>Indeed Rome was advanced, if you like that kind of thing but then, eventually, it was replaced by a more human friendly model that has been refining ever since. That's progress.<BR/><BR/>'Your' culture didn't even exist you fool! You slagging off hygiene in a culture when you didn't even have one. YOU ARE EUROPEAN FOR GODSAKE! Humnanity advances, makes mistakes and learns, you seem to imagine that America just appeared! Are you a child? America is an extension of European culture, populated by Europeans who then became Amercians and enacted a genocide upon the native people.<BR/><BR/>You total lack of understanding of history, human development adn Europe is mind boggling, be careful, you're fufilling the stereotype of thick Americans, filling the world with gas, fat and ignorance.<BR/><BR/>And may I ask, what purpose does this ping pong serve, you seem locked in a crash course with extreme right wing thinking, have you no shame? In a thread about an actual atrocity?<BR/><BR/>We aren't going to change each other's minds.Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-79004394839664749562008-12-14T13:26:00.000-06:002008-12-14T13:26:00.000-06:00If you subtract the lives America has saved from t...If you subtract the lives America has saved from the numbers we've killed, we actually look pretty damn good, unlike Europe. Most of the deaths caused by America-not all, by a long shot, but most-were matters of self-defense in the course of wars, started in no small measure by Europeans if not in most cases, directly or indirectly.<BR/><BR/>I know all I need to know about Europe-the good, the bad, and the ugly. The bad outweighs the good in the case of Europe, unfortunately. <BR/><BR/>I've seen you put down the Roman Empire. The funny thing about that is, the Roman Empire was actually quite advanced compared to most of what followed in Europe.<BR/><BR/>At least the Romans weren't afraid to take a fucking bath. The rest of you fucktards had to see a third or more of your population die as a result of your filth before you caught on to the value of soap and water. For my money I wish you'd waited another couple of centuries before you decided it might be best not to let the smell of your sweaty gross feet and nasty armpits precede you by seven blocks.<BR/><BR/>The Little Ice Age was caused for the most part by the depopulation that occurred due to your tendencies to toss garbage and raw sewage and gods know what else in the streets and leave it for the rats you were too lazy to try to exterminate. Thus, the plague. What a nasty bunch of fuckheads.<BR/><BR/>No wonder the pilgrims came to America. They probably figured that was the only shot they had at getting away from the fucking stench, to say nothing of the constant wars and religious persecutions you "tolerant" and "enlightened" Europeans are so well known for.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-90059950975644300392008-12-14T12:37:00.000-06:002008-12-14T12:37:00.000-06:00You've just shown you know nothing about Europe.

So?<BR/><BR/>You've retreated here from your reactionary posing, good but I'd still throw my shoes at you for continuing this nonsense.Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-50919441562344937842008-12-14T11:41:00.000-06:002008-12-14T11:41:00.000-06:00I know all about Europe I need to know. A three th...I know all about Europe I need to know. A three thousand year history of first one war after another, with very brief intervals of peace in between them. Hundred Year's War, War of The Roses, Crimean War, Franco Prussian War, World Wars I and II, and on and on. War, war, war, from a continent that has the audacity to preach peace to the rest of the world.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, there have been Europeans who have made valuable contributions in the arts, in science and technology. I would be a fool to deny that. I do not minimize their accomplishments in the least. <BR/><BR/>By the same token, you deny the savagery of European history, or it seems that you do, while denigrating any American that doesn't want to walk in lockstep along with Europe. Sorry, that will never happen as long as there are an appreciable amount of Americans left to say no. And say no we will, sir. <BR/><BR/>The history of the violent rapaciousness of European colonialism and imperialism speaks for itself, and will never be repeated on America, however civilized a veneer with which you try to paint your savage, barbaric, bloodthirsty natures. <BR/><BR/>I actually have no personal quarrel with Europe or European peoples as long as they run their own affairs and keep my people out of it. If you refuse to adhere to that, however, then before I would see my country kowtow to yours-ever again, on any matter involving my country's independence and freedoms-I would gladly see every city in Europe burned to ashes. That's just the way it is.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-67663800382283122632008-12-14T10:34:00.000-06:002008-12-14T10:34:00.000-06:00Childish?

No, that'll be engaging in a 100+ comment ping pong match in a thread connected to a terrible event and not knowing when to quit.<BR/><BR/>We should both be ashamed but you should've been ashamed a long time ago for the shit you keep pushing as reasoned, intelligent debate:<BR/><BR/>"At your hearts and cores of your souls, you people are still a bunch of ignorant, bloodthirsty barbarians hiding behind a thin veneer of civilization. A facade of civility that in truth is a sad joke to the rest of the world."<BR/><BR/>You're a bigoted, unintelligent, knee-jerk prick, replace European with...let's say Jews, or Afro-Carribeans and you see my point.<BR/><BR/>You know so very little about Europe it makes your posturing a joke.Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.com
