Comment on Are Celebukid Reporters and Newsertainment the wave of the future? by Monika

Nobody is gonna do anything to stop him. So far one maacinal murdering thug American (Sam Childers) went to The Sudan posing as a Christian AID worker, but actually he’s an ex-con who likes killing blacks and since he can’t do that in the US, he went to Africa to do it.The rest of humanity is too busy tap-tap-tapping on twitter and watching youtube to actually get off their fat arses and do something about it.Some enterprising business person should put together a Kill Koney Kit. For R50 000, you get:* AK74 (with bayonet)* 10 x 30 round magazines* Glock G19 sidearm* 3 clips* flack jacket* kevlar helmet* 2 x camo coveralls* 96Litre camo lightweigth backpack with frame* 2L water bottle* MREs for 10 daysincludes 4 week crash course boot campoptional extras:* 5 days heavy weapon training (does not include LMG)* 5 days mortar squad training (bring 2 buddies)* 5 days basic sniper course* 5 days RPG trainingBut even if this was available, I’m guessing none of the twitter activists would actually do what it takes to go kill Kony and his army.

Comment on CNN war zone photojournalist Margaret Moth RIP by AISHWARYA NAUTIYAL

Its a very brave hearted game she played with her life,,,,i think people must appreciate nd consider the dedication of war journalists who always play with their life in bringing the truth nd reality from a place which sometime becomes hell…their effort must be regarded with respect ..,they r the main thread between the reality to a common man ..i m under graduates nd focusing to be a war correspondent as my future ,i admire the contribution made by Margaret in bringing the focus of the world about the incident in BOSNIA AND CROATIA.

Comment on FOX News’ Joshua Rhett Miller: “Mexican Pirates” are a “species” by Colleen Sullivan, PhD

Colleen Sullivan, PhD — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 00:18:20 +0000

The following words were written by Joshua Rhett Miller. While knowing nothing about his rhetoric or politics, I have tried to email him about his horrible writing. He needs an editor immediately. Are these words one sentence? Is it a paragraph? Is he speaking about women “carry(ing) a concealed weapon DURING A NEWS CONFERENCE? I guess misplaced modifiers are de rigeur today. Regardless of his message, I can’t possibly follow his words. They follow:

“Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright, the county’s top law enforcement officer since 2005, suggested local women apply for a permit to carry a concealed weapon during a news conference Monday about the attack on Sunday at Milliken Park in Spartanburg”.
