Idea! SHUTDOWN the politics forum!!

Keep on Trekin · 09-10-2002 2:22pm #1

The politcs forum has gotten out of hand

Brian and Kim have a point

Quote:

suggest that we close the politics thread until the Pro-British lobby here on boards learns to behave and accept the concern and thoughts of the People here in Ireland.

The Irish people have a vote and a voice and it should not be censored, forced out or oppressed.

This is a democratic society not some British monarchy where the Queen elects members to represent here and where a house of Lords has big influence on the people.

Why do the Pro-English people come on this site is it just to bitcch about Ireland?

Its now time the politics forum was shutdown forever.

sorry, you're just TOO mad...

Close politics

Good idea.

I second that thought.

There are too many people who have no knowledge of Irish culture, history or politics controling posts this place.

Memo to self: Read Politics more often, it's full of people who are MAD!

Really? Boards.ie is a democracy? Since when?

I was under the impression that it was an oligarchy controlled by the people who paid for the servers and bandwidth...

Heres a better idea. How about we ban the whole of NUI Galway and inform the users of boards from there the reasons why and the people who caused the ban. I'm sure the issues that we are experiencing will be sorted internally in NUI quite rapidally.

Idea! SHUTDOWN the politics forum!!

what a ridiculous statement
get a life......

DiscoStu · 09-10-2002 5:14pm

how about creating a muppet forum where all these quite quite psychotic people can roam free, without fear of upsetting anyone and without the risk off banning. no need for any moderator, dev and co. can just pop in every now and again to make sure they all get fed and have not burnt anything.

We did have one like that, it was the Recycle Bin before someone made it read only.....

Actually I have an idea, lets not close politics, now, now, stay with me, see I realise 'they' are controlling everything and I have been basing a slightly recursive algorithm on how to break 'their' tyrannical reign.... here is an exceprt from my personal memoires on how to smash their party structure

[size=1]
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[Addresses_Bod_Extract]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [Addresses_Bod_Extract]
GO
SELECT * into Addresses_Bod_Extract from Addresses 
if exists(select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[Contact_Parse]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id,N'IsProcedure') =1)
drop procedure [Contact_Parse]
GO
Create Procedure Contact_Parse
AS
DECLARE
	@Pkid integer,
	@Name varchar(200),
	@Bifecation_one varchar(200),
	@Bifecation_two varchar(200),
	@Len integer,
	@Iterated integer,
	@Matched integer

Declare Parse_Cursor Cursor for
	Select Pkid,Name
		From Addresses where Addresstype = 'chq'
	
	OPEN Parse_Cursor
	FETCH Parse_Cursor INTO @Pkid,@Name
	WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
	BEGIN
		
		SELECT @LEN=len(@Name),@Iterated=1,@Matched=0
			WHILE @Iterated<@Len and @Matched=0
				BEGIN
					IF UPPER(SUBSTRING(@Name,@Iterated,3)) = 'A/C'
						BEGIN	
							SELECT @Bifecation_one=SUBSTRING(@Name,@Iterated,@Len)
							SELECT @Iterated=@Len-@Iterated,@Matched=1
							SELECT @Bifecation_two=SUBSTRING(@Name,1,@Iterated)
						END
					ELSE
						BEGIN
							SELECT @Iterated=@Iterated+1
						END
					IF @Matched=1
						BEGIN
							--print 'have these values to insert ' + ISNULL(convert(varchar,@Bifecation_one),' error name is null')
							--print 'have these values to insert ' + ISNULL(convert(varchar,@Bifecation_two),' error contact is null')
							UPDATE Addresses_Bod_Extract Set Name=@Bifecation_two where Pkid=@Pkid
							UPDATE Addresses_Bod_Extract Set Contact=@Bifecation_one where Pkid=@Pkid
						END
				END
			IF @Matched=0
				BEGIN
					--So since the Contact field should have A/C [accountnumber] if our data hasn't met this criteria we nuke it bhawhahahahahaha
					UPDATE Addresses_Bod_Extract Set Contact=NULL where Pkid=@Pkid
				END	
		FETCH Parse_Cursor INTO @Pkid,@Name
	END
CLOSE Parse_Cursor
DeAllocate Parse_Cursor
GO
EXEC Contact_Parse
[/size]

So you see the ruse.... if that is what it really is MUST be maintained ... if only for a short time.... so they don't think we're paranoid.... MI8 would be watching.... if they existed......

Fear not brave forum breakers.... all is under way.... just keep wearing your duly assigned tin foil hats and a representative of the Tom Cruise chapter of the scientologists will come around so we can escape this dejected orb of hypocracy and knavery to the planet of the father.

Hail to the chief
P & Q.
P therefore Q.

TwoShedsJackson · 09-10-2002 7:02pm

Yes!! Close it down! People in there are saying things I don't agree with so it must be shut down for ever!! Longer if possible!!

And if I don't get my way I'm going to stick out my lower lip and hold my breath until I get sick!!

Who does the queen of England (can never say 'the queen' - she's not our queen) elect to represent who? As far as I know, she elects nobody.. except maybe her dog psychiatrist (I read she was given an anti-rape alarm to stop them when they're fighting).

BuffyBot · 09-10-2002 7:28pm

Is it just me or does anyone else think Keep on Trekin', Kim Tae Woo, Jar Jar and Brian Benette were cloned from the same cell?

Venom · 09-10-2002 7:33pm

The problem is a vegetable cell was used.

Dustaz · 09-10-2002 7:34pm

Well if theres an upside to this (apart from the obvious entertainment factor of course), its that its made me work out how to un-ignore typedef. Hiya typey :P

DeVore · 09-10-2002 7:49pm

heheh.. much thanks to TwoSheds and Venom for a genuinely good laugh on a Wednesday night!

Can I second the "muppet forum" you could call it "ranting muppets"?

or maybe not.

untill reading the admin page, I had no idea how many muppets use boards.ie

Yes, and also ban said muppets from every other board.
Everyones a winner.
