Fake Dr dies

[visualnickmos]

Here's the former enemies who knew Dr Paisley better than any of us ...

And your point is.....?

[visualnickmos]

Put simply he wasn't a "Christian"
The REAL followers of Christ don't spread hate and misery
he was a fraud, a fake
and is now dead, which probably advances the cause of peace more than anything he did in his angry, bigoted life

A good friend of mine was arrested in the 1970's for getting a bullseye on his head with an egg at a protest.
The world would have been a better place without him OR mr McGuinness

I concur with you fully on the points you make.

And full marks to your good friend.

DR DR DR DR ????

Why on earth do you insist on using that title ?

Indeed - and I'm sorry I bothered to clear up how he came by the title, but it does add to the story. IP maintained his contacts with the wilder shores of US Republicanism and fundamentalism.

I've often wondered that myself ...

Don't be sorry

So kindly also show some titular respect to Dr George W Bush, Dr Robert Mugabe (ex) and Dr Joni Mitchell!

Full marksmanship!

Full marksmanship!

Very good, Serial_Apologist! :-)

It does seem odd, though, that the members who insist that the late Doctor remained a bigot to the end are the very ones applauding a good friend of MrGongGong who somehow managed to land an egg on his (the late Doctor's) famously large frame. Ahhh, the admirable tolerance and skilful debating points of the self-styled liberal and all-embracing inclusive ones!

I also did thoroughly enjoy MrGongGong's "sermon on the mount" and "final judgement" on the same late Doctor's 'Christian' behaviour, though ... or, more correctly, apparent lack of it.

Marvellous ... such posts are often what make the oft-despised P&CA so worthwhile, imho!

[MrGongGong]

So how does one engage with such people as MrP ?
(sorry to repeat)
IMV the mistake so many folks engaged in politics make is to think that somehow the way to go about changing things is always through "skilful" debate and argument. With the likes of MrP and others, this is a waste of energy and time. Sometimes an egg says more.

Going to work on an egg in such circumstances with a view to advancing a cause can have its own dangers, mind; for example, no one wants to invite the consequence of Salmondella, surely?

Alas, the poor egg cannot say anything and therefore speak for itself in the matter!

It rather says a lot more about the egg-thrower ... ?

As with the throwing of shoes in some cultures
it's a traditional way of expressing distaste and anger

(I thought we were supposed to be embracing "British" values and traditions these days anyway ? Lobbing eggs is part of a long tradition. In France they only ever throw ONE though)

I'm by no means convinced that "we" should - and the identities of those who'd make up said "we" who are supposedly charged with a duty to uphold such "traditions" from Friday morning onwards will be far less certain should Scotland vote "Yes" the day before, other than that there'll be less of them. With so many people struggling to make ends meet and food banks so widely used as one consequence of this, the wasting of eggs in this way - however "traditional" some might claim it to be - is surely beyond inexcusable (as is their like misuse in similarly "traditional" egg and spoon races). I would never have thrown an egg at Mr Paisley; to do so would have been a grave insult to the egg.

Wasn't there a moral philosopher from way back who in a fit of righteous anger ejected the usurers from the temple?

I only ask .....
