GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.
Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.
The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. [Reply]

I watch the news all the time to know racism is still alive and well here. :-)
No my friend, you are right. No one is a bigot. You know why? Because THIS IS AMERICA dammit!
Well, speaking for myself, the fact that you are a "man of two countries" is just icing on the idiot cake that is Frankie. It would be even better if you had a glass eye or something, too. [Reply]

You are willing to take my post replying (with sarcasm) to someone claiming I was spotted points as something you want to believe. Yet you don't want to believe that people are out there who have a bit higher IQ than the average poster here.
That said, as for broadcasting anything, I have been a poster here for a decade. You know quite well how I am always used for target practice by CP bigots and morons ALWAYS in group attacks. I have withstood this for all this time not ever bringing anything like this up. I've had plenty of opportunities to "broadcast" it in ten years. Yet as I posted earlier here (which you conveniently disregarded) I do not consider it necessarily a badge of honor. In fact I have always had serious misgivings about the legitimacy of the IQ Test concept.
As I said in that earlier post, there are many many folks of high IQ out there who never amount to anything. I simply made a comment here in response to one of the shit-tossing CP monkeys who made a totally biased, idiotic judgement about my intelligence. Bigots who cannot accept that having been born in the U.S. is not an automatic indication of intellectual superiority over a "ferner" took that simple statement and ran with it. 'tsall.
I'll grant you this much, Fraknkie. You've gone above and beyond the call of duty in terms of not rubbing our noses in your intelligence over the years. [Reply]

It's the only reason he clocked in an hour ago to respond to 12-hour old posts, just like when he bumped the thread yesterday.... not sure how someone can get off on so much negative attention, but whatever. [Reply]

Beat me, whip me, make me write bad checks. [Reply]
To be beaten any more severely, you'd have to be buried up to your neck and have 200 villagers hurl softball sized stones at your cranium until it looked like an old melon stepped on by a cow. [Reply]

I understand your point tooge. And I appreciate it. But you have not been in my shoes for 10 years here. One thing I learned over those years is you have to talk to the mindless using their own language and act with at least the same amount of stubborn stamina.
As I said before I have tried leaving threads like this, only to have it backfire on me in a future thread when some idiot brings them up "victoriously" and the regular primates posting more insulting comments and smilies with glee in approval. I arrived at the conclusion a long time ago that these things HAVE to end within their own thread, not leaving any reason for the primates to beat off on a perceived victory and validation.
I joined (and frankly still stay in) this forum only for the love of the Chiefs. That said, I have certain political and cultural beliefs (domestic or foreign) that don't sit well with certain close-minded posters here. You should have read the threads when Bush was preparing to attack Iraq. The abuse I got then was way more than I am getting now. But I withstood it and many of those former abusers have now seen the points I was trying to make and changed their position. Some of those have even gone on to graciously extend apologies to me via PMs and reps. So historically I have been targeted even in non-political threads. It hasn't killed me yet only made me stronger.
I will stay in this thread until I'm satisfied that idiots are bored and gone to other playgrounds or until some mod locks it up. Half of these idiots I won't even remember and will probably agree with and rep over a football post. That's how insignificant these folks are. I have even repped Donger, Iowanian on many occasions, bypassing personal clashes. What does that tell you? Hope you understand. [Reply]
Frankie has the most bizarre debating style I have ever seen. When someone make a point, he turns it into some nonsensicle absolute that completely misses the point.
CP: Planes can't just snap in half like that in mid-air.
Frankie: Airplaines are indestructible? Ha!
CP: People aren't calling you dumb out of bigotry.
Frankie: There is no such thing as a bigot? Ha! [Reply]

Just a clarification. I have never partaken in emails that you are referring to. That's only the recourse of desperate cowards and the intellectually deficient. I did not even bother to guess at the frequent "Email received" posts in this thread, though I had a pretty good idea what was going down.
You have historically had a habit of jumping on every word with a fetish in this forum. In that spirit I ask you this? Do you consider the word "similar" to be the same as "same?"
I won't even demand a Yes or No response like you always do. But do you see the idiocy of your logic here? [Reply]

PATHETIC!
"Email received" refers to the fact that you have this thread on subscribe so it emails you when a post is made. [Reply]

Well, we're different people, and have different motives and ways of dealing with lifes pains in the asses. I'd simply have told everyone about five hundered posts ago that I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but you are not me. I understand what you are saying and respect that it is the way you roll. I'll just say this, your mathcing of their stubborn stamina is probably causing you more pains in the ass than not replying at all. It's a message board man. [Reply]

Jesus, Frankie, you really are an idiot. They were talking about you receiving an email notification every time someone posted in this thread.
