Trillions of Dollars,FBI, CIA, Military spies,undercover agents,10 years of searching and those super Americans at last found Bin Laden hiding in his house :doh: :hook:
I'm amazed to see commentators in the US saying that this may be what gets Obama back for a second term as President. Nothing like a bit of the old Falklands spirit to get the voters on your side.

And before you Yanks spot it, no i cant spell American (see the title) :doh:

I'd love to see the footage of the killing. According to some SAS book i read Maggie made it clear without actually saying it she didn't want any terrorist survivors from the Iranian Embassy, the one that sneaked out with the hostages was then discovered and was getting dragged back in to be put to sleep, before it was pointed out that the whole World was watching on TV. I really hope he didn't die too quickly.

Definately not.
You forgot thousands of lives, gargantuan expansion of the police state, loss of civil liberties once considered essential, as well as a new feverish nationalism coupled with renewed faith in state violence to accomplish good in the world and an increased sense of self-righteousness.

If i had my way you'd go the way of the lefties in the film Missing about Chile under the hero General Pinochet . :hook:
MY FINGER IS HOVERING OVER THE LOCK KEY - NO POLITICS PLEASE.... ive let it go as it was a joke... but its very nearly crossing the line...
SKASIE - With my moderators head on! :007: :007: Knock it on the head lads!!!
Cant see much wrong with it really, apart from perhaps my commie reply. The Pinochet thing is obviously a joke. Calm down Deano it's only a commercial.
ha ha... Just a gentle nudge as i know how these things can go,,,,, :048:
I'm with Dean on this, most of the posts are fine, two are not. One post was removed already.
...this post has as much to do about Fulham FC and all it stands for as - well, Michael Jackson...
Oh - poor analogy! :doh:

Cant remember what i've posted, so not sure if i've been censored, so not annoyed about it. Good to keep you boys on your toes, but to be honest it all seems pretty tame to me, no anger shown, as said my thumbs down commie thing maybe if being very strict.

You'd be surprised how many non pc Fulham there are out there Leon. Saying tht you probably know more Fofers than me, so i guess you know that. Certainly the Non FOF i know , are not shy of a dodgy joke :dft012:
...hi George, Arthur, no, sorry, I mean Leon, it is not about skasie being a little Hitler, in a nutshell it is about keeping the ethic of this site and keeping politics away from subjects posted on FOF, it all too often leads to people who though they were friends becoming enemies. What you text and PM on Facebook etc., is more personal, this message board is read by many, and some may not like the content and react in a manner that causes disharmony between FOF members.
Some nutshell, some nut.

And can you send that to Kaz, though i have a feeling it's an old joke but i just cant remember it.
Leon that was to your phone not on FOF.. i send many jokes like that but not on here.. I was just giving a gentle warning.. because the thread had the possibility of getting out of hand... Im not PC.. im anti PC... but there are rules for this board.. and im a moderator so i have to take a stand.
To be fair, it was a really big house. :028: Ha ha we can find the other turd in a hole in the ground in the middle of nowhere. But we couldn't find the tallest arab in the biggest house in a country where we knew he was hiding??? WTF? :tom:

:011: :011: . See the Yanks dont find it offensive, cant believe it's on the verge of getting locked. I can see the risk of somethings, but at least let's see the risk going the full hog, or are we going stop and search? Surely a fully paid up member (ex) of the Commie party would be against this ???????????

Way to many moderaters still awake for me to run riot on the quiet, i'm off, but may look back , so dont tke it too easy :hook:
LB and Ska.
I know why Mr Ska got involved. It was a little joke on my part, again to try and lighten this place up a bit. Not have a go at Ska!! In fact I wasnt calling him a little Hitler at all. I was going to post it myself but didn't want to steal his thunder :57: - not that it was offensive anyhow.

yeah, but one that's running 20 minutes slow can be wrong for 40 or 50 years.
I just read them all, no harm but i would like to hear the irish joke. did I miss it scrolling through?

Damn you Freddy:

I am offended. I cant believe this thread! lol
Ok i got the Irish SAS joke and as Leon says it's not offensive so here goes.Apparently the Irish Sas joined in the US assault over the weekend. They stormed Debenhams after hearing summer bed linen was on the 3rd floor.

I cant believe my jokes got slaughtered and this is carrying on. Well done mods for seeing the jokes for what they are.....JOKES. :005: :005:
Still offended though. :hook: :hook: :hook: :hook: :hook: :hook: :hook:
Hold on Blingo... there have been post removed from this thread... i dont mind the jokes its the polictics that had crept in... did you see them Blingo before you start????
Yes i have read all 3 pages. LIGHTEN UP im laughing at this, and am taking it in the spirit in which it has been posted, ie, for amusement only, not intentional offence.
...Moderating is a difficult thing, we are not trained or professional and behind the scenes we 'talk; to each other over various issues so as to strike a balance for the sake of a harmonious site. As mentioned in previous threads you have to try and look at each post to see whether it is likely to cause offence. Yes we can see that certain posts are intended as a joke - to qualify as a moderator doesn't mean having a sense of humour by-pass!
However, what we say/text/e-mail/post on facebook to each other personally is usually done to people who we know wouldn't be offended by the content - but on a public message board where there are many who don't know each other on a personal level, and so we have a duty of care to ensure that posts do not become personal or get out of hand due to misinterpretation of others humour levels.
In this instance a notification by an extremely dedicated moderator was given in a friendly manner that we were keeping an eye on this thread to ensure it didn't get out of hand and then people make comments to him!
We do have another option as mods and that is to say nothing, delete without notification or edit posts or lock threads, this is much easier for us, if less personal...

Here Here! And you do it well!
Ed no one doubts the task you guys have or the spirit in which it is done m8, but its only a joke and therefore should be taken as such. Everyone who has posted on here as being offended, have also seen the lighter side. Perhaps a suggestion would be to put a new topic at the top of the page headed "DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED" just an idea, but I think you would see it would be pretty well used, and in that way it can all be moderated under the one banner and the warning would be made in advance. I do not think that anyone on here doubts that you guys do a good job on here and we realise that it is a thankless task. All I can say on that is thanks for the time and effort you ALL put into FOF.
...appreciate your support Ralph, and not a bad suggestion, I will ask the other mods their thoughts on this. My underlying concern is that even if there was a "DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED" on each post:-
1) We have to rely on the poster stating that in the post subject.
2) It may attract to many 'car-crash' views who will view it as a chance to have a bit of cyber bovver.
3) And the most important thing, as this is a public forum some people viewing may take an objection to a higher authority and the site could be closed, the majority of those who visit daily look but do not participate, and who knows if they may have agendas and enjoy causing trouble.
I appreciate '3' is looking at the worse case scenario, but political posts on this and every other message board always attracts strong opinions that can get out of hand, and on other MB's frequently do. The main function of Friends Of Fulham is for football talk about Fulham FC, and as stated before, there are loads of places where you can go to air your political views so please lets keep this site Fulham and football...
PS: Fred, I'm going to change your avatar to this :wum: if you're not careful..!
I'm sorry but in full support of my fellow moderators this thread has now been locked. If anyone has any issues as to why this has been done then please contact me by P.M.
