Of American Politics, half-wits who have no idea how to use the word “libel” and textbooks
American politics intrigue me. The battle between the Republicans and the Democrats have always been interesting. I find it funny when middle class Americans stand up for the Republicans.
Say yes to electing the elite rich into the Presidential seat?
Of course from the look of things now, we’re looking at a Clinton/Obama ticket but I’m okay with that. Either way, a female president or a black president is pretty much what America needs in my opinion. I’d love Clinton to take the seat. It’s a 2 for the price of one deal. Obama would probably be more qualified in ten years time. He does lack the experience that Clinton has but meh, it’s still a pretty interesting race.
And as for the current “threats” for a “libel suit”, I can’t help but wonder how amazingly stupid some bloggers are. Honestly, once you’ve fucked up and made statements like…”let’s tattoo non-muslims like Hitler did with teh j00s cos ya know that was like, totally awesome and we should totally be neo-nazis-but-the-assalammualaikum-version, for realz!” and then when you’re called out on it, don’t fucking turn around and say you want to sue another blogger for pointing it out. Granted although I do not agree with said blogger calling the idiot a raghead, I wouldn’t say it wasn’t completely called for.
By the way :
In many legal systems, adverse public statements about legal citizens presented as fact must be proven false to be defamatory or slanderous/libel. Proving adverse, public character statements to be true is often the best defense against a prosecution for libel and/or defamation. Statements of opinion that cannot be proven true or false will likely need to apply some other kind of defense. The use of the defense of justification has dangers, however; if the defendant libels the plaintiff and then runs the defense of truth and fails, he may be said to have aggravated the harm.
That and this is the fucking Internet. Who the fuck sues people over blog posts on the internet? (Sit down if you’re NSTP)
It’s hilarious how these dumbfucks then try to say “It was a joke!!”.
I didn’t see them laughing when the Danish cartoons were published.
Don’t make a joke if you can’t take the same heat when your beliefs/race are the subject of a joke.
If there are publishers (lollers) from BPP reading this blog, (who knows? They might be looking for tips) CAN YOU PLEASE REDUCE THE PRICES FOR YOUR BOOKS?!?! Jeez, your revision text cost a whopping RM112. It’s bad enough that the exam fees are high but now I have to fork so much money to score in my paper? Pffffttttttt
$35 for a book? That’s actually not half bad, well, out here at least. Currency differences and all. As for Hilary v. Obama, I’m just waiting until the down select. Cynical, granted, but hell, it saves disappointment. As for those dumbasses, it wouldn’t surprise me they are going on about a “libel suit”. They are going on about tattooing corpses after all. Maybe paint thinner wasn’t kept far enough out of their reach while they were growing up.
Meh race and gender here in America doesn’t make a candidate any better than a white male candidate. I’m just waiting it out post primaries to see who’s coming out on top.
Personally I’m not terribly impressed with Obama OR Clinton…I wish I was though. I’m a Ron Paul nut really…
As far as RM112..heh what Rapture said. I just spent $120 on 2 texts I haven’t opened in the 4 weeks I’ve been in school. But then again this is just for a revision books right? In that case, it is kind of pricy…
Hi The Boinq, how are ya?
“Don’t make a joke if you can’t take the same heat when your beliefs/race are the subject of a joke”
-true.
“neo-nazis-but-the-assalammualaikum-version”

Rapture : It’s a lot of money for me cos.. I’m always broke.
Maleeha : I’d be a democrat if I was an American :p true story!
