JustMe Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 ^ ^ ^No belief in N.Korean legal system yet total belief in Laotian legal system. Total belief in American womens innocence yet total belief in Nigerian woman's guilt. Is there maybe a pattern to all this? Are all non WASP's automatically evil? The BNP have some potential recruits up here.Enough belief in the Laotian legal system for me to be fairly sure that the court believed that she was caught with the drugs. As for the issue of WASPS I am sure the American women were of Asiatic origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Turns out she is not British after all but Nigerian so what the f**k are our government doing getting involved. She is from Nigeria and lived in london for a short while before going of to buy drugs in Laos, her mam bless her soul is in Ireland studying Yet Dublin have not seen fit to get involved maybe the Irish are not as dumb as all the jokes make them out to be. As mentioned before her mother had very little to do with her up bringing. She was brought up by her Aunt, no connection with Ireland what so ever, so why would they get involved?The lass is British, maybe not born, but this where she did her schooling, where she worked, where she paid her taxes.

sheepshagger Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The lass is British, maybe not born, but this where she did her schooling, where she worked, where she paid her taxes So lets put this statement into context, she came here illegaly , we paid for her education (waste of bloody money that was). how long did she work and how much tax did she pay before deciding to go fetch a turd load of smack from a copuntry that executes smack dealers.I am pretty sure that whatever miniscule amount of tax she may have paid and I have yet to see any evidence of any that it did not cover even a few months of her education. So since she arrived on these shores she has been a burden on the taxpayer and will continue to be so for the rest of her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there is nothing to stop a young person who has gone off the rails serving their sentence and then becoming a valuable member of society.......or do you know different?.

paulb Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sorry but she must have a UK passport or we would not be interested. i really don't see what the difference between her and all the local smugglers. would you be so happy to let a friend or relative rot in a south Asian jail. There seems to be a racist undertone in this thread. would she be treated the same if she was blonde blue eyed and had a nice British name.

Ghostrider Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 ^^ If they were dumb enough to do what she did, yes. And if I was dumb enough to do what she did, I'd expect to be abandoned in whatever jail I ended up in. There's already at least one Shetlander doing time in a foreign jail for drug smuggling, I've not been aware of any outcry about that locally. If there was, I would be saying the same about it as I'm saying about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 It depends on the case... The british guy who supposedly killed folk in Iraq is facing the death sentence, but he did remove folks right to live, and if found guilty will have to pay for PULLING the trigger, I am sure the guy supplying the ammo will not be sent to court... So to say this woman, who we describe so far as black, ileagal imigrant, non tax payer and scum is guilty of murdering folk cos she transported opiates, for what ever reason is pure folly and echoes of a lynch mob may be heard in the distance.. Tis red top mentality to gain hits.........^^ The fact that the two chinky yanks Jeezzz.....Talk about racist! Nuff said. Just applying terminology that the target reader is most likely to fully comprehend. Using other folks racist terms to get a point over really is not required, these comments are saying that the two women in question are beneath us. There really is no need to describe these folk according to what they look like and not as people.. And it does not justify your use of them... And explain Chinese Yanks, they are one or the other...

Using other folks racist terms to get a point over really is not required, these comments are saying that the two women in question are beneath us. That's one hell of a leap of faith, or something. Maybe you consider them beneath you, but I don't know them, so have no opinion of them. Race and appearance has nothing to do with whether I consider someone above or below me, any more than someone's position in (or out) of employment, whatever public position(s) they hold or what their reputation has to do with it. It all to do with attitude, behaviour and respect. Some of the most crookedest, despicable scum I could name, that I consider so far beneath me that I wouldn't soil my boots by wiping them on them, actually hold some very responsible positions, are respected by many, and have glowing reputations in the eyes of some. Its an accurate description of who they are, American nationals of non-Japanese oriental descent. I can recognise Japs and Philipinos, but all the rest look the same to me, so chinky in the best I can do. There really is no need to describe these folk according to what they look like and not as people.. And it does not justify your use of them... And explain Chinese Yanks, they are one or the other... So....just how might I describe them as "people", when I know nothing more about them than what they did and what they look like? I was going to ignore the last sentence in the belief that it was an attempt at a joke.....but in case not, they don't have to be one or the other, it worked for Lerrik Scotties, so it can work for chinky yanks.

Snaz Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Chinky is a racist term Ghostrider. And it sounds to me you're trying to defend yourself using that word. Thats what I was meaning. Though this is going slightly off the topic now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 ^^ We're going to have to agree to disagree on the definition of the word then. 'Chinky', as far as I'm concerned is a word which applies to a particular race, and identifies/defines them apart for other races, it is an identifying/descriptive term only, and therefor a neutral one. It only becomes an offensive term when used in conjunction with or as part of overall insulting and/or derogatory terminology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 We could just draw a line under this part of the topic.... Perhaps the description used may not be ideal but perhaps not meant with malice.. Otherwise this thread could again become protracted... There is a comparison, how an American, negotiated a release of fellow citizens. Would anyone not support their countryfolk and then ask questions once the imediate danger to life or limb be removed.. Ans what of the Shetlander mentioned above, are we ok with his/her treatment, and I guess there may be more than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
