Garage Joe To be fair, everyone knew the facts to be wrong. Our local pipe mills actually partially constructed a super gun (that's the level Sadman was at) before the Israeli secret service started assassinating the engineers involved! There was a debate about his WMD at that point, conveniently kicked into the long grass for the purposes of invasion! The Israelis also destroyed his nuclear facilities in a bombing raid!

Nigel Farage
El Loro I used to have a client who would say every time I met him "I'm not a racist but.." and would then go on and on saying stuff which proved he was out and out racist.

Just because I found him deeply offensive didn't give me the right to get rid of him. [ more ]
