Sharks get fresh ideas
29 Jan 2013
Springbok defence coach John McFarland and former All Blacks flyhalf Carlos Spencer have helped the Sharks to prepare for Super Rugby this season.
Coach John Plumtree told the Sharks’ website that McFarland’s input, which is part of a new initiative by the Springboks to help and share ideas with South African franchises, had been invaluable.
‘He has had a lot of experience coaching at a top level for a long time, he’s a specialist in defence and we wanted to pick his brains, to make use of his knowledge this week. It’s a good change for the boys with some fresh ideas.
‘It’s important that we adopt the philosophy of sharing information from the Springbok management to us which will also give John a better idea of our players by working with us. We’re able to open up the working relationship with the Springbok coaches, starting with him.’
Plumtree said his players had also enjoyed having Spencer, the ex-Lions backs coach, in Durban.
‘I’d like him here a little longer – he’s not here for the whole tournament as he has family back in Joburg – but he will help us through the course of the season, he’ll see how we go and he’ll come down periodically.
‘He will be good for not only our flyhalves but also our backs, he’ll also be working on our kicking game. But really, he’s just touched the surface of what I want from him.’

Most of us would agree that the team is actually doing quite fine with or without all the outside coaches.
I would suggest the Sharks Co. invest in someone like Dale Carnegie to assist their fans in ” how to win friends and influence people” or to get Gary Player in to teach some of them humility.

29 Jan 2013, 08:52 am
@nortierd-2:
Their whole team and management are “outsiders” anyway(right down from Herr Strauli to the ballboys) – if they had to rely on locals they would still have been a struggling team in the Vodacom cup lke they used to be a struggling team in the B section or Sport Pienaar cup in the old days

HG believes in the ‘broken clock’ theory. Even it is right twice a day!
29 Jan 2013, 09:35 am
@nortierd-5: You rest your case?
You mean your assumption that Sharks fans want “to win friends and influence people” on this Stormfront Propaganda mouthpiece is true, valid and not absolute bullshitt?
Let me help you out with a suggestion: Howzabout finding a quack who might help Stormer fans with their delusions of grandeur?
Maybe find one who has farken no idea what the fark is cutting, also has delusions of grandeur and sleeps with a dog eared DSM iv under pillow while pondering how to portray credibility as a Rottie loving “Doc”… on a rugby site…
Maybe you could score yourself some muti from this consultation… or a little dance around the Stormer maypole…
Farken WePee fantasists…

@Stawm-8: In HG’s case not. He is the broken clock in which the hands of said clock have been ripped off the face….. rendering the clock totallyfuckinguseless 24/7/365
(He can’t even get the gender of his playmates right…..rugby predictions may be a stretch 2 far

Sorry about that.
The really good hysterical sh y te HG says only really starts when the rugby starts. Then he predicts victory for the Sharks every week. Of course he has to be right sometimes and this is when he loses his way.

Guppys are now enlisting the services of “north & south traditional” rugby experts along with more IRANZ rugby students
mcfarland? the guy that oversaw our defence getting ripped to shreds at soccer city is the panacea the guppys need for success…oh dear this is shaping up to be a classic season.

HG, just for you…….
This from a huge guppie fan named Poisy from another site.
“15 Feb that’s when it starts
Razor teeth a wave of black & white
Last year we travelled and just fell short
This year our campain shall stay afloat
From Beast to Lambie, old Butch will come in handy
To JPand Steyn – Cheetahs are 1st up, oh what a shame!
They have Rhule but we have Mvovo
He’s our Lamborghini, the other guy is just a Volvo
We have quality from 1 to 15
Too bad for the lions it isn’t Super 16
Stormers as usual are making a noise
They’ll crash in a semi they such funny ou’s
The pride of Pretoria, a wave of blue
Please ask Dean oh when is he due
They are called the bulls and they so proud
Can’t wait till we klap them in front of a Loftus crowd
New kids on the block they dress in red
Its feasting time the Sharks will be well fed
For some reason they called the Kings
Before all they matches the fat lady will sing
Oh a joyous year awaits
So bring your flags and don’t be late
Our favourite team is ready for battle
They melt our hearts like it’s a burning candle
Much has been said, much has been written
This year I’ve got a special feeling
Oh dear Plum we need to win
3,2,1 let the rugby begin
GO SHARKS

29 Jan 2013, 10:21 am
@Heavens Game-47: Entertainment….pure and simple. I will honestly admit, that guppie fans, ARE (without a doubt and not even a hint of serious competition) THE MOST ENTERTAINING in the country, the world, the galaxy.

29 Jan 2013, 10:21 am
@Transformation-43:
Did you enjoy that game?
I thought it was very thoughtful of the Sharks to play that game in England and that the proceeds have gone to a good cause.
Saders was awesome that day, and the Sharks had some good moments to. Someday in the future you would surely love to see your team take part in such a great event as it was.

29 Jan 2013, 10:23 am
@Transformation-43: Yes, Transie… Live your Super Rugger fantasies through another team… a foreign team…
Because you know that Super Rugby success for your team is just that… Fantasy
But the Bantustan Kings will break some records though… Points difference
Wonder which will be highest:
- The ‘Stan vs Saders at Chch
- The ‘Stan vs Bulls at Loftus
- The ‘Stan vs Sharks at Dynamite Stadium
All over 3 digits for the home teams guaranteed though…
29 Jan 2013, 10:23 am

Who is innocent? And who is defending a perceived attack using gutter language?
I don’t know….and I guess not many would be able to say – so it really doesn’t bother me all that much. The site should have protocols in place if so many find it undesirable…..

29 Jan 2013, 11:35 am
@pompies2-98: My point exactly. It is not up to bloggers to sort out these issues.
If this is an ongoing problem, with plenty complaints etc, the site should sort it.

29 Jan 2013, 11:38 am
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-106: Indeed. We tend to scream “hate speech” whenever something offends us.
Those who offend me I simply ignore. Unfortunately their opinions carry as much weight on here as mine.
29 Jan 2013, 11:38 am
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-106: Such a touching speech… Sniff, sniff…
I feel emotional now…

@RL-109: Why should the guppies feel insulted? If they choose to read only negativity into my nic it’s their problem, not mine.

Thanks for the essay.
It seems my attempt at baiting needs a bit of work. I really couldnt give a shiiit either way.
As for your nick, I dont think anyone is insutlted by it.
Im not even 100% sure I get it.
29 Jan 2013, 11:54 am
@nortierd-113: No, emotional is what you call Bakkies during his involuntary turtle head rebellion…
Emotional is what you call Doggy when she discovers Ralph the Rottie mysteriously protruding a Black and White striped banana shaped footlong stick of dynamite with “BOOM! Love HG” written on the side…
Emotional is what you call Transie, when he realises that Luke is in fact a whitey… Another “Baas” in “Liberators” Clothing… The penny will drop after the 1st 100 pointer guaranteed…
A Thai Ladyboy is hardly ever called “Emotional”… “Squeak” is more popular.

When you say ‘funny’ do you mean strange or ‘humourous’? Barry is lot more assertive and relaxed these days.
Oprah Winfrey must have been proud of him for those kind words he had for ghays during his inauguration address. He is just so fair and righteous.
I take issue with Barry. When I was in Mauritius a few years ago, a local trader came up to me and part of his flattery said that I looked like Barry. I bought from him but privately took exception to that comparison

i see the stormersfans gloating/whining/berating/belittling the sharks as a bunch of white blood cells trying to isolate a perceived enemy.
sadly for them this flu is gonna last a whole season.

stormers are such a bunch of forward thinkers they had to copy the sharks colours after spending a year in the rugby wilderness.
no, these stormers are no trend setters unless you call dancing like a drunken hobo because everyone else is doing it trend setting.
29 Jan 2013, 13:08 pm
not such an easy start to the comp this year for the mountain goats.
i am sure the cc trophy will keep them happy and talking of their “rightful place” for another decade though.

how fresh are these ideas if mcfarland has been ensconced at Loftus for close to a decade?

lets see how the mountain goat mercenary turnstiles go this year with a new batch of imports.
between the sharks, cheetahs and lions the turnstiles are resembling a rugby soup kitchen.
29 Jan 2013, 13:11 pm

Hardly my fault – “She” had a hairless 5ft1inch petite body, C-cup breasts, a decent pert bottom and legs nicer than Banshee’s in a mini-skirt… They also swear to you “Me – I am all woman”….

good if it works i suppose then again johns 3 superrugby titles obviously mean less than fleck and whoever the no name brand at the kings think because they are brand new!
29 Jan 2013, 13:14 pm
@The Rangerman-208: Easy start no. Unlike certain guppie apologists, we won’t be using our ‘tough start’ as an excuse that carries alllllllllllllll the way to August
I’m expecting to hear quite a bit from February through to spring about Bissie’s absence, and how it phuckedup the hopes of a guppie nation.

Please can you tell me, other than Keegan, who in the Sharks team was born in KZN ? I bet you can’t give me 5 names.
29 Jan 2013, 13:20 pm
@Mr Black-220: I’m sure they are. Not sure how much help the stormers need on their defense. A scrum & attack coach would be what they are looking for.
29 Jan 2013, 13:21 pm

Vice versa more likely….

@stormer in a teacup-239: you have our discards.
they would prefer to be here believe me, but a pro team run without screaming queens having breakdowns in the stands is a sought after destination.
just look at you all hanging around here when your glorious teams captain is there for discussion a few clicks away

You fellas pulled a Hansie and Grietjie, dropping bread crumbs all over the century and various 3rd rate competitions, hoping against hope that someone with power would find you.
Hansel and Gretel my man.
@stormer in a teacup-239: They are there in spirit apparently. As Puma once said, even Matfield is a Shark at heart as he once holidayed in Durban….
29 Jan 2013, 13:40 pm
@stormersboy-240: kuk man haha, where was burden born?
but you know your list of “homegrown heroes” have less chance of winning the vodacom cup without all the imports you have
i just find it amusing how fast they come and go down there, must be something they learn in the changeroom
29 Jan 2013, 13:40 pm
@The Rangerman-231: You mean like?
Schalk Burger?
Dewald Duvenhage?
Andries Bekker?
Gio Aplon?
Juan DeJong?
We can’t help it that we breed so much talent here that many, as good as they are, are unable to see a future for themselves here and are forced to consider offers from the traveling scouts from other parts of the country. I know, even in Durban.
If I were to make that list ir would embarrass the rest of the country. But you’re a clever guy, you could figure it out.
Now i don’t have an issue with players playing wherever they want, it’s a (relatively) free world, but it’s very odd that the Sharks supporters, the very team with easily the least homegrown talent in the whole Super 15, choose to criticize the Stormers whenever they sign someone from outside the Province.
Don’t go projecting your own insecurities now!
29 Jan 2013, 13:42 pm
@The Rangerman-247: You found a second.
Congratulations.
See where I’m going with this?

You do know that history also exists outside that Fish Dorpie that reckons it aint a part of Africa…?
Yup… The Last Outpost… The Bananaboys…
Now the Sharks… They make their own history as the consistently best performing SA team in Super Rugby…
While your “historic” team spent one its years off Super Rugby getting rid of its Christmas tree jersey and coming up with the eminently “original” – “Men In Black”, the mighty Dynamite were flying the flag for SA rugby…
Not shittingtheir myopic pants for anything Anzac like the rest of the “traditional powers”….
Yes… You have it right… Champs elect 2013… Sharks.
Wild Indeed
29 Jan 2013, 13:50 pm
@stormer in a teacup-254: That was the whole point.
I don’t think players should be criticized for plying their trade wherever they want, it is a good thing in the Cape, we bring a lot of talent though, there are only 22 places available each weekend.
I wonder if a guy like Paul Jordaan would have been given a proper chance here in WP. For that matter Francois Hougaard, Morne Steyn and many others too.
Maybe, but maybe not.
The game is richer as a result.

29 Jan 2013, 13:57 pm
@Heavens Game-255: Look, I don’t hold ONLY bad feeling for the guppies.
I take into consideration that they ended up with all the ‘left overs’ in terms of fans (all the good ones, the true rugby ones, were already supporting WP, Northern Transvaal, Free State, Transvaal, Northern Free State etc etc etc etc), which makes me sympathetic within reason.
(Ryecatcher and co are not included in this group… as they were Natal fans for years)
I’m marking this: “Yes… You have it right… Champs elect 2013… Sharks.”
I’m guessing Mitt Romney will be shaking the hands of the team in the White House after?

29 Jan 2013, 14:04 pm
@The Rangerman-258: Some will make it and some won’t, that’s not the fault of WP. Duanne, Joe P, Tiaan, seem to have settled in nicely. Even Bryan, who by career standards, has stayed a good few years, so we have no complaints,
All of our purchases, like many other teams, are based around a core of good homegrown talent that see out most of the playing careers here in the Cape.
We don’t pretend that we are 100% local, but we are more “local” than many.
29 Jan 2013, 14:04 pm
And yet so many questions remain unanswered about Barry Soetoro.
Are they some form of reincarnations of Pharaoh Akhenaton and Queen Tiya? You be the judge.
Why can he not produce a birth certificate? Did Larry Sinclair tell the truth about their encounters? Why was he sworn in 4x?
1st time round they made a deliberate mistake which then paved the way for a another secret ceremony which met a low of freemasonry criteria. 2nd time round they have excuse that the 20th fell on a Sunday
Is Obama actually Osama? Both left handed, brownish complexion, thin oval shaped face etc…

See Jonathan Cahn’s message to the very distinguished guests there at the Presidential Inauguration is a modern version of an Elijah message. A proper prophetic message.
Study the life of Elijah and see how he confronted Ahab the king/Govt (wife Jezebel) about departing from the righteous paths. Jezebel was some kind of priestess in the Ba’al temple which involved all kinds of s*xual practices- you guessed it, anything unnatural went down there
Elijah’s message did not go down well, but he delivered that message.
Fast forward to John the Baptist (Yochanan the Immerser) and he was the one who was said of that he will come in the ‘spirit and power of Elijah’. Also Yochanan was the one who paved the way (broke the ice) for Messiah. Yochanan described himself as the ‘friend of the bridegroom’
This friend who announces the arrival of the bridegroom because he comes at a time that the bride does not expect him.
Likewise we see the same theme being played out here. We are in the days of Elijah again. The trumpet/shofar is blown and most will ignore it. It’s always the same; they see and hear it but pay no attention.
Jonathan Cahn’s message is that type of warning.
Why do we see these things and pay no attention? Many reasons. Some think it’s just hogwash. Some are just too busy. Some people senses have been numbed and all they can look forward to is Hobbit II to name but a few…
Wake up.

I write the way I do because time -and life for that matter- is so precious.
I learnt with shock and horror of the death of Elton Jantjies’ dad. It brought tears to my eyes as this man was not even 50 and he played such a key role in Elton’s life to motivate his achieve his best.
They live here in Pta – I was not aware of it – but saw a newspaper article some time ago showing the 2 lads with their dad.
You read the newspapers and see a family of 3 holiday cut short as they fell to their death in Sabie, Mpumalanga. You read these daily and ask yourself: why, how?
Now I’m certainly not the type that like to use scare tactics to get my point across, but I feel at times it is necessary.

I would not call it conspiracy theories to start with.
I’m raising questions, concerns in my capacity as rugby fan. Life is so hectic that we seldom get a chance to explore a certain thought or idea. As a social observer I ask questions, often I get a bit more info and share it where approp.
If you want to live a long life Dawn, then do as it is written: Honour your father and mother; now I can unpack that for you but I think you’re smart enuff to that yourself. I’m not suggesting it’s the only way but I certainly try to it…
Things are not as they seem. Israel has just had their elections and Netanyahu must now choose allies/partners which could make things swing more secular or Biblical. That’s NB to keep an eye on.
If you track what I say over time you will get a good impression of the things I keep an eye on which are tell tale signs of the times we live in. And they’re not my own ideas. Top (that is brave) biblical scholars agree on these themes.

The multimillion-rand tender for
communications services put out by the
Democratic Alliance (DA) led Western
Cape provincial government has been
declared invalid by the Public Protector
Thuli Madonsela, who had provisionally
recommended that the agreement be
immediately terminated.
Madonsela’s investigation had also
provisionally ruled that the DA-led
administration’s failure to employ
proper demand management had
constituted maladministration and that
the Premier’s department had incurred
fruitless and wasteful expenditure.
Furthermore, the inclusion of DA leader
and Western Cape Premier Helen Zille’s
special advisers — Ryan Coetzee and
Gavin Davis — on the tender bid
evaluation committee was unlawful and
in violation of the Constitution, said
Madonsela in the draft report.
But the DA-run government has hit
back. On the advice of a legal opinion
obtained from advocate Geoff
Budlender, supported by a prior opinion
from another senior counsel, Zille
rejected the draft report as
“fundamentally incorrect in its
understanding of the law”, and the key
finding as “fatally flawed” and charged
that unless the public protector reviews
the findings that they would have no
option but to take up the findings on
review.
Zille on Saturday said: “Our legal advice
from one of South Africa’s most
respected senior counsel is that the
participation on the Bid Evaluation
Committee of two special advisors was
not unlawful”.
“Further, the draft finding that the
contract should be terminated is a
misdirection and that even if an
application were made to court to have
the contract set aside, such application
would not, on the advice received,
succeed,” said Zille.

Seeing as Gnome HQ are maintaining radio silence over the Bulls
Matfield making an impact
The impact of record-breaking retired Springbok Victor Matfield as a coach is already being felt by the Bulls.
Matfield – who last year served as a line-out consultant in an advisory capacity at Loftus Versfeld – was appointed the forwards and attack coach for the franchise this season.
The 35-year-old, who led the Bulls to all three of their Super Rugby titles, is rated as “phenomenal” by head coach Frans Ludeke.
“It is great to have him back in the inner circle of the team, where the things are happening,” Ludeke told Rugby365 in an interview ahead of the Bulls’ first pre-season match – the Gauteng Challenge encounter with the Lions at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto on Saturday.
“It may be in a different capacity, but he is making a very big impact – the players are enjoying having him here.
“His knowledge is phenomenal and he comes across very strongly as a coach.
“He is a great teacher and his sessions are very interesting – there are lots of game-related things.”
Ludeke said one of the advantages of Matfield the coach is that he played for such a long time and worked under many coaches.
“He has a great feel for how to put a [training] session together,” Ludeke said, adding: “There is no doubt he is making a huge impact.”
Matfield, who retired from playing after the 2011 World Cup, featured in 110 Tests for South Africa – bettered only by John Smit’s 111 internationals.
Meanwhile, the Bulls head coach, Ludeke, said a number of frontline players will not feature in the Orlando showdown.
Players like Francois Venter, Zane Kirchner, Werner Kruger and Callie Visagie all suffering from minor strains.
Venter (groin), Kirchner (back), Kruger (back) and Visagie (hamstring) will miss the clash – as will Tony Jantjies (compassionate leave after the death of his father), Wilhelm Steenkamp (AC joint, five weeks), Marcel van der Merwe (knee rehab, four months), Dean Greyling (foot, three weeks) and Basil Short (AC joint, two weeks).
Grant Hattingh (ankle), Akona Ndungane (groin), Wiaan Liebenberg (hamstring), Dewald Potgieter (back) and Louis Fouchè (ankle) has been declared fit – although the two loose forwards, Liebenberg and Potgieter, will only train on Tuesday.
Ludeke said he will field two different line-ups in the pre-season matches against the Lions (this week) and the Cheetahs (in Polokwane next week).
Veteran midfielder Wynand Olivier will also not be considered for selection this week, although he returned from his stint in Japan without injury.

Israel’s final election results show the following results:
1) 31 Likud-Yisrael Beitenu. Likud, the party of Benjamin Netanyahu and Yisrael Beitenu (the Russian immigrant party)
2) 19 Yesh Atid (there is a future). This is a secular centrist party, headed by former Israeli journalist Yair Lapid
3) 15 Labor. This is a socio-economic party headed by Shelly Yachimovich.
4) 12 Jewish Home. This is a nationalistic modern Orthodox party headed by Naphtali Bennett
5) 11 Shas. This is a Sephardic Ultra-Orthodox party
6) 7 United Torah Judaism. This is a Askenazi Ulta-Orthodox party
7) 6 Hatnua (The Movement). This is the party of Tzipi Livni. She is a strong advocate of peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
8) 6 Meretz (The Movement). Far left wing party.
9) 2 Kadima. This party is headed by Shaul Mofaz. He also advocates peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
In Israel, you vote for a political party. You don’t vote for a specific candidate. The leader of the political party which receives the most votes gets to form a coalition of parties to establish a government and become Prime Minister. As a result, Benjamin Netanyahu is in position to remain as Prime Minister of Israel. In realizing this fact, following the election results, Netanyahu said, “I’m proud to be your prime minister. I thank you for giving me a chance, for the third time, to lead the State of Israel. It is a great privilege and a great responsibility.”Then, he outlined five major principles of the next government:
1) Security. Stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon
2) Fiscal responsibility. Due to a large government spending deficit, cuts in government spending.
3) Political responsibility. Seeking peace with the Palestinians
4) Equal distribution of burden in society. This means drafting Ultra-Orthodox Yeshiva students into the Israeli military
5) Social and economic responsibility: Cut the cost of living and housing prices
Based upon these guidelines, Netanyahu will attempt for form a government. Since there are 120 members in the Israeli Knesset, he needs at least 61 members to form a majority government. Ideally, he would like to form a government with about 80 members. This would prevent his government from being toppled if one of the parties in the coalition becomes unhappy with one of the domestic or foreign policy decisions adopted by the government. While this may be a goal, because of the competing political interests of the various elected parties, this goal will not likely be achievable.
It would seem that Netanyahu has three viable options to form a government:
1) Right Wing coalition: Likud-Beitenu joining Jewish Home and the Ultra-Orthodox parties. This would give him a coalition of 61. However, this government could easily be accused of being against the peace process. It could result in an international economic boycott against Israel for failing to negotiate with the Palestinians. With the Ultra-Orthodox in the coalition, Netanyahu would not be able to get approval to draft Yeshiva students into the Israeli military.
2) Center-Right coalition: Likud-Beitenu joining Yesh Atid (Yair Lapid) and Jewish Home. This would give him a coalition of 62. With this government, Netanyahu could better implement his domestic policies but would be weak against international pressure concerning the peace process. So, this also could result in an international economic boycott against Israel for failing to negotiate with the Palestinians.
3) Left Wing coaltion: Likud-Beitenu joining Yesh Atid (Yair Lapid), Labor (Shelly Yachimovich), The Movement (Tzipi Livni), Kadima (Shaul Mofaz). This would give him a coalition of 73. This would be the strongest government against international pressure regarding the peace process. It would also be a government which could implement Netanyahu’s domestic policies. However, Labor (Shelly Yachimovich) doesn’t want to be in government with Netanyahu. She also would like to topple his government so she could possibly be Prime Minister. With this government, Netanyahu risks the greatest chance of losing his political power.
Based upon the election results and the political negotiating that is going on to form a coalition government, I believe that Israel is at a historical cross roads where it must choose between secular Zionism or nationalist / religious Zionism. In Ezekiel 37, the dry bones coming to life comes about in 2 stages. The first is a physical return (secular Zionism) and this is followed by a spiritual return (religious Zionism). With the results of the elections, it seems that Netanyahu has a choice of embracing secular Zionism (a left wing government), religious Zionism (a right wing government) or a combination of the two. However, in seeking to achieve a combination of the two, the secular Zionists are rejecting the policies of the religious Zionists and the religious Zionists are rejecting the policies of the secular Zionists.
So, which government will Netanyahu choose? In the next several weeks, we should begin to know.

@gunther-346: How many times is Ludeke allowed to use “phenomenal” in one interview? What does the ministerial handbook say on this?
30 Jan 2013, 07:10 am
wow… pretty gobsmacked…!
after some early posts i was out of the office all of yesterday… so a bit shocked to sign on this morning and see i’ve somehow been accused and/or dragged into a brawl about insulting women…?
don’t have the time as i have another early and long day out of the office… and can’t be bothered really… to read through all the posts to see how and who started it…
fact is… i have never insulted a woman of any colour, nationality or religion or whatever on keo… and never do so in my real life either… fighting against the abuse, rape and disrespect of women in south africa is something i do in my real life… i was brought up by parents who always emphasised and demonstrated the importance of treating everyone you meet in life with respect… and especially so with women who at the time were second class citizens in a chauvinistic and often misogynistic south african society…
so however and whoever brought me into that conversation… nothing could be further from the truth…
thank you to ryecatcher, charo and transformation for putting a good word in there…
muchly appreciated…
another time all…
have a great day everyone…

re: “Is Obama actually Osama? Both left handed, brownish complexion, thin oval shaped face etc…”
Sorry mate, after that rhetorical question, I cannot take seriously anything you say about Abrahamic religions, international relations/politics/conflict, Zionism, Israel, Iran, the USA, the Palestine, Arabs generally, prophesies of top Christian scholars that you espouse/repeat, etc.
But go for it … I’m sure you’ll find many takers

@Angostura-355:
Remember you do not have to take anything seriously, it’s only my opinion.
In fact I would go as far as to say: simply ignore it; why must I even tell you – you should simply ignore it as part of your self management.
‘Is Obama actually Osama’ is tongue in cheek – my way to say: who is this guy? How is it that the President of the United States who has so much power at his disposal cannot even produce a birth certificate?
I’m trying to locate his place of birth through a process of elimination. Help me with this. On my list I have places like:
* Mitchell’s Plain
* Grassy Pork
* Clarke Estate
* Bonteheuwel
* Steinkopf
* Pacaltsdorp
* Egypt
* Cape Verde
* Atlantis
* Kenya
* Morocco; and so on
Who is this teleprompter President of the US of A?
30 Jan 2013, 12:02 pm
@Sheriff-356:
Why does it concern you who Obama is?
Why does his place of birth concern you?
Why does his birth certificate concern you?
Just tell us straight out what you want to say.
Begin with the end.
Say it, man … straight out, & naked for all who wish to see, to see it as it IS (coz that’s what you really want to do).
Then provide the corroborating proof, from whichever source you wish to quote.
But this “Driekie Beukes-verhaal (in ontelbare episodes) wat elke moederhart sal roer”, is too much to bear – I might be dead already, before you get to your point (& I know you are just itching to tell us).
Just do it.
