Now, I have as much respect for Harmeet as anyone here. Seriously. But with the new Sharon thread, I couldn't help but put him up against Ariel and another favourite forum deity in a poll.

Please, please don't take this too seriously. It's in GCAD for a reason... :D

Erm... can someone alter the poll itself? It's run together. I hate trying to make these things.

The internet pwns me.

bahaha it just turned into funny.

Well, I'd probably give Mr. Sharon more sympathies than my fellow student due to the fact that his political career will be over and there's will be more bloodshed in the Middle East. (I also have more respect for world leaders than everyday folks that I have never met.)

I don't know if the University is going to run a memorial service for Mr. Sooden...

Doubt it, some girl who took a stage 3 paper I was in killed herself and there was no uni-sanctioned service, though I think a few lecturers and students attended the funeral.

One can hope that Mr. Sooden is still alive... Otherwise, we may have to hold service for him, he's not some pent up Emo that commit suicide. (Although the nature of his trip to Iraq was rather naive.) The service will give me a perfect opportunity to wear that black necktie I bought ages ago.

No he was some pent up emo that thought he could save the world by going to Iraq.

LMAO! I gotta tell this one to my mates!

I'm sure you've had enough time to do that already.

I told seven people already!

Speaking of old Ariel, we must do a Dead Pool for 2006. I should have said this last week then I could bet on Ariel, he's a gonner. "Massive stroke"=Dead.

synpathies to the families of all the above people. including the devil.

I'm stunned that noone has yet voted for Harmeet.

That's probably because there's no confirmation that he's dead and his last TV appearance showed him being treated better than the other captives.

You've also created the "self touching" option, which will soak up a majority of the votes ridiculously. Have a vote off between Sharon and Sooden, the results wouldn't be surprising.

I don't think the devils are human.

BTW did you pick up the song reference for The Devil?

'I stuck around St Petersburg, when I saw it was a time for a change. I killed the Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia; screamed in pain,
I rode a tank, held a generals rank, when the blitzkreig rained and the bodies stank,
Pleased to meet you, hope you'll guess my name, oh yeah..
What's puzzling you is the nature of my game..'

I don't know what you're talking about. From the references given in Western culture, the Devil certainly isn't human.

One guess who I voted for. :evil8: I had to. Although it was a tough choice between myself and late night touching sessions and the Devil.

Yeah, we don't know if Harmeet is still alive or not, i'm hoping he is.

I'm sure a few people think he's been reincarnated as a politican or two. Anyway, you might want to listen to 'Sympathy for the Devil' by The Rolling Stones, later done by Guns n Roses.

:clap:

Clap clap, Mrt. Presumably you think you can change the world by sucking the cock as one of these perpetually critical people who are unable to understand modern society and by voting for the ACT-National party, right?

Hey I'm not the one with a communist shaft up his ass :)

I'm particularly interested what you posted initially. My civility ends when I deal with shit, which is exactly the post of yours I quoted was, and also what the comment immediately above is.

I forgot to add communist. I thought it was a nice touch.

I'm surprised you forgot it initially, because of my avatar.

Yeah well I was trying to think of the name of the symbol, and got distracted by it so forgot to type anything. I remember it's a sickle now isn't it?

Indeed, the hammer and the sickle. THE SYMBOL OF HEAVY INDUSTRY AND AGRICULTURE. The pride of the Soviet people.

Big Bear would be proud.

I bet you did Marx in the exam for Foundations of Western Political Thought.

What;s with the hating on Hauser peoples? Play nice or SheDevil is gonna step in and whip all yo asses, capiche?

More votes for the devil goddamnit!

No hate, I am merely making an observation. I did Marx in the exam too, his work is truly brilliant, if ultimately flawed.

Its cool, its cool dawg, not directed at you. People hating, not cool.

EDIT// Hang on, this forum is the flame all you want forum, so i guess.................hmmmm :hmm:

Still not cool though.

The sickle is for the communists to scratch their nuts and the hammer is a device they hit themselves on the head with for 'enlightenment'.

And the dollar bills are for the fat rich pigs to wipe their capitalist arses with. Scrooge McDuck must have the most expensive toilet flushes.

Hey I just had a cool idea, get the lowest paper denomination of some really low value currency and use it as TP, all the fun of wiping your ass with money but at much less expense.

Just for Adolf:

Tony, indeed I did do Marx in the exam. I wore a t-shirt with pictures of Lenin, Engels, Marx and Mao on it. It made me feel proud.

Sitting on the kitchen counter in the next room is a special edition rice cooker commemorating 40 years of the People's Republic of China (1949-1989). Has a crest on it and everything.

Yeah I did Marx too... comprehensively demolished dialectical materialism in 45 minutes. That made me feel quite proud.

Was it the dialectical bit, or the materialism bit, that you demolished?

I demolished the bit that argued that not only does every mode of production contain with in it the seeds of its own destruction, but that it is inevitable that these two forces will one day collide and herald the birth of a new system of production.

Nothing is 'inevitable'. It is certainly possible that capitalism will kill itself and produce socialism, but it is equally possible that capitalist societies will continue to forsake short term profits for long term security, and so prolong capitalism indefinitely. If capitalists thought the way Marx thinks we do, we would have voted for Act long ago.
