Trevor Noah: 'Black people are tired of hearing

@Denny...I'm curious.

Which posters exactly were you gossiping about behind their backs?

Go ahead, enlighten me.

Hey Rooi

I managed to find a few Dr Suess books. I'm wondering would you like to trade? 

I'll take all commie literature off your hands. That way I get something to light braais with and you get to go back over some basic and useful children's philosophy.

As an added bonus, I'll offer 1 hour a week of time towards explaining some of the more tricky volumes. Only because I know that Cat in a Hat might be a tad much for you.

It's a win win.

Wehe . . . sounds to me like DumbAss is taking himself quite seriously after he was made a fire marshall at work and did some basic OHD firefighting training . . . now he thinks he's Red Adair.

TC Fireman!

LMAO!

"Two trips is a possibility"

LMAO

Don't think the trucks will be necessary. I have no commie literature. I read a lot of stuff on the net but when it comes to reading books (or in my case a Kindle) for leisure then I only read fiction. 

If you think authors like Kurt Vonnegut, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Khaled Hosseini, Kazuo Ishiguro or Louis de B ernieres constitute commie literature then you might need a basket at most (or a flashstick), but no trucks are necessary.  

"Gabriel Garcia Marquez"

It makes absolute sense that you would read books from a guy who is well known for his one novel....

"One hundred years of solitude"

It perfectly sums up your 60 plus years on this earth

LMFAO

Duh...… Piss Mint

"Gabriel García Márquez, (born March 6, 1927, Aracataca, Colombia—died April 17, 2014, Mexico City, Mexico), Colombian novelist and one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, mostly for his masterpiece Cien años de soledad (1967; One Hundred Years of Solitude)"

Or

"Gabriel García Márquez, the Colombian novelist whose “One Hundred Years of Solitude” established him as a giant of 20th-century literature"

Or

"In 1965, Gabriel García Márquez was a Colombian writer living in Mexico City. He was mostly unknown beyond literary circles in Mexico and Colombia. For almost two decades, he struggled to become a full-time fiction writer. In 1967, the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude [Cien años de soledad] and its ensuing international success transformed its author into one of the most celebrated writers of the twentieth century. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982".

Obviously he wrote other books, but he is most well known for his one masterpiece as stated above, yes.... not all of them... you stupid plank.....before that one book he was mostly unknown for 2 decades

Deflection..... that's all you ever do.....

Try and act all clever...…  yet dumb as fuck...…

At least you are honest ….. LMFAO

The dull-witted semi-literate fool who'd never heard of Gabriel Garcia Marquez before today lecturing me on my favourite author.

LMAO!

Only Dumbass!

It's a pity all that reading has not inspired you to become a much better person in real life.....

We already know that you are honest... LMFAO.... you know.... you told us all yourself...... in a long drunken drugged up late night post.... boy it was funny.... still is fucking hilarious

All that ugly bitterness that you constantly openly display to all the other posters on this forum.... must come from somewhere...…

It has to be your retched childhood.... and it clearly seems that no amount of reading will ever provide you with the knowledge to just move on or get through it....

Oh well..... at least you are honest..... LMFAO..... you know..... you told us all yourself

So now we have the same weak loser who was accusing others of deflecting, now . . . ummm . . . deflecting.

Why don't you admit you'd never heard of Gabriel Garcia Marquez until today and that you also had no idea he was almost as famous for his novel "Love in the Time of Cholera"? Hmmm? I s that because you're trying to deflect attention away from your loud-mouthed ignorance? Huh Red Adair?

LMAO!

"So now we have the same weak loser who was accusing others of deflecting, now . . . ummm . . . deflecting"

"Why don't you admit you'd never heard of Gabriel Garcia Marquez until today"

When did I say that I had?.... show everyone here.....

I said he was made famous by a book, which is 100% true..... whatever books he wrote after that is immaterial...… for 20 years nobody knew anything at all about the guy, nothing......until he wrote the book that I directly referenced?

More Piss Mint deflection...…. the classic Piss Mint side step

I haven't heard of Kurt Vonnegut either..... or Khaled Hosseini..... why would I ever worry about admitting that?...…...they are not even remotely close to my style of writing that I enjoy..... and if you genuinely do believe that you are better than everyone else because you read these type of books, you are even more fucked up than I thought

Lol, like reading makes you a better person hey Piss Mint..... "Mr Honesty" himself.... LMFAO

I cannot deflect regarding something that I did not say or admit to.... you completely stupid man

You keep reading Piss Mint..... all that reading has done sweet fuck for you because you still seem to be confusing education with intelligence

I sometimes completely underestimate just how pathetically and profoundly stupid our resident Piss Mint is

But don't worry people.... he must be incredibly intelligent, because he reads...….

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Kurt Vonnegut

Khaled Hosseini

Kazuo Ishiguro

Louis de Bernieres

LMFAO

You've never heard of Kurt Vonnegut?

Ouch!

What? No Golding, Orwell or Marx on that list?

While you are basking in your Gabriel Garcia Marquez snobbery Coward.....remember when you thought he wrote this: ‘those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it’.

Whereas in fact it was was George Santayana and he actually said this:

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

What a fake!

"What a fake!"

What a a liar!

Come on then Moffie, you weak-arsed liar and stinking coward, show me where I ever attributed that line to Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I'm calling you out here as a liar and a coward. Prove me wrong. 

I'm betting you'll be too chicken to take me up on this one.

Rooi,

Shall I send a third vehicle for the Che t-shirts and flyers that you've been handing out at traffic lights since 1981?

Last time I took you up on your substance abuse you disappeared when I proved you admitted  to it....so why should I troll through posts to find your embarrassing GGM attribution? We both know you said it and it’s been raised several times before.

The gutless coward is the lush who can’t get on an aircraft without doping himself.

You proved nothing of the sort you delusional and pompous old windbag. That is just another STINKING LIE.

The reason you can't substantiate your latest STINKING LIE is because it's not true. You're telling yet another STINKING LIE. 

Unlike you, I can substantiate what I'm sayong (because I'm not a STINKING LIAR) . . . Here is me setting you straight the last time when you told a STINKING LIE that I attributed that quote to Friedrich Nietzsche and if you click on that link, apart from turning red with embarrassment, you'll see who I incorrectly attributed that quote to . . . and it wasn't Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Friedrich Nietz sche . . . those are both STINKING LIES.

LMAO!

My advice is to stay down, STINKING LIAR!

Haha Rooi'Guevara

Are you scared of flying? 

"How can a man, fearful of his mortality, lead the revolution?"

Any rugby on yet?

Nah, we're still warming up by dropkicking Rooi around the park a bit.

He loves it though 

You can ‘substantiate what you are sayong’...hahaha. You absolutely attributed that quote to Marquez....and if what you now appear to have said is different, it’s because you edited your post. 

You lied about your substance abuse and now you want to lie about Marquez because it’s so embarrassing to you.....live with you old Lush.

You can ‘substantiate what you are sayong’...hahaha. But you’re right it was Camus to whom you erroneously attributed the quote in another spasm of snobbery. Point is it wasn’t Nietzsche, Camus or Marquez.....it was Santayana.

In fact as I point out in the hilarious link you so kindly provided Camus’ position was exactly opposite to the quote. Nothing more embarrassing than pretending you are educated and then attributing a quote to a person who never made it.

I forgot is was Camus .....a mistake. But when you said you never admitted your substance abuse, that was a lie. You STINKING LIAR!

Well believe what you wish it’s nothing to me Coward. And just to show you I’m completely unaffected, here’s a list of authors you can read in your journey from a second class BA at Wits or some other local school to being a true intellectual....good luck:

1. William Faulkner: One of the most influential authors to ever come out of the Southern United States, William Faulkner churned out a body of work in the early 20th century that took a few years to find acceptance among a wider audience. Between 1929 and 1936, he released four novels — The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Light in August, and Absalom, Absalom! — that would define his stream-of-consciousness style and his explorations of morality using characters set in his native Mississippi. He also wrote screenplays for director Howard Hawks, contributing to The Big Sleep and To Have and Have Not, but it was his literary body of that earned him the Nobel Prize in 1949, which brought him a new level of fame. He’s influenced countless writers from the South and across the country.
2. Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Born in Colombia in 1927, Gabriel Garcia Marquez first made his literary mark as a journalist, during which time he and a few other writers formed the Barranquilla Group to share works and inspire each other. Later venturing into fiction, Garcia Marquez wrote One Hundred Years of Solitude, a dazzling work inspired by his home country and the war he had seen. The book was the author’s first major work to dabble in magical realism, a blending of genres that would color his body of work for decades. He also wrote Love in the Time of Cholera, a non-traditional love story that approaches romance from a unique point of view. His lifelong explorations of relationships and isolation have earned him the Nobel Prize.
3. Henrik Ibsen: Henrik Ibsen, born in Norway in 1828, is widely regarded as one of the most pivotal figures in modern drama and a founder of the modernist movement in theater. His plays were groundbreaking for the way they frankly addressed social and moral issues of the day with much more directness than Victorian society tended to prefer, turning Ibsen into a sensationalist presence in the theater world. A Doll’s House is perhaps his most famous work from his extensive body of plays, and is memorable for its attack on 19th-century marriage and its anti-feminist trappings. (Like many of the authors on this list, Ibsen’s work became a touchstone for a disenfranchised class of people, in this case, women.) Later works like Hedda Gabler and The Master Builderwent even further, eschewing Victorian commentary altogether to grapple with complex moral issues.
4. Franz Kafka: How many writers make such an impact that their name becomes an adjective describing works reminiscent of their own style? These days, whenever a story takes a surreal or horrific turn that highlights the unconquerable complexity of a faceless system, it’s called "Kafkaesque." The Trial is a harrowing novel about a man persecuted by an omniscient authority for a crime whose nature is never revealed. The Metamorphosis is a similarly disturbing book in which the narrator awakens to learn he’s turned into a giant bug. Kafka’s stories probe the darker and less traveled areas of the human condition, and though he was only 40 when he died in 1924 (he starved to death when tuberculosis made eating too painful), his works earned him a reputation as one of the most original writers of the 20th century.
5. William Butler Yeats: The first Irishman to ever win the Nobel Prize for literature, William Yeats was a groundbreaking poet whose work ushered in that portion of the Celtic Revival referred to as the Irish Literary Revival, a movement in the early 20th century which Yeats and other writers brought Irish writing to a wider audience. His use of symbolism within traditional poetic style inspired generations of other writers. His poem "The Second Coming"contains many powerful and now-famous uses of Christian imagery in its social criticism.
6. Mary Wollstonecraft: The mother of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley was an accomplished writer and public figure long before her daughter’s novel shook the world. Mary Wollstonecraft, born in 1759, was a pioneering force in British feminism and philosophy. Her most famous work is A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, in which she argued that women deserved as much education and as many opportunities as men, and that for society to regard women as ornaments for their husbands instead of companions was to do them a tragic disservice. Published in 1792, just five years before she died, Wollstonecraft’s treatise became a cornerstone in the growing intellectual movement to grant women equal rights with men.
7. Henry David Thoreau: Without the 19th-century writings and observations of Henry David Thoreau, the 20th century might have gone very differently. His earnest reflections on peace and nature in Walden inspired thousands of naturalists, and his book Civil Disobedience, in which he argues of the necessity of peacefully resisting an immoral government, was a touchstone in the lives of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Thoreau was also an ardent abolitionist and leader in the field of transcendentalism, which (basically) taught that a person’s perfect spiritual state was best attained through their own intuition and not through established religions.
8. Frederick Douglass: Born into slavery before escaping to freedom, Frederick Douglass was a leading light in the abolitionist movement of the 19th century, and his writings allowed him to travel the world and speak on behalf of equality and justice. He wrote three autobiographies tracing his life and journeys, and each of them is a classic: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave; My Bondage and My Freedom; and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass.
9. Upton Sinclair: Upton Sinclair’s work as a journalist and novelist were integral in some of the biggest changes in the fields of industry and public health in the first half of the 20th century. His 1906 novel The Jungle was a peak in the muckraking movement (the journalistic practice of exposing corruption at high levels), and Sinclair spent weeks undercover at a meat-packing plant in Chicago to get the lurid facts for his book. When it hit shelves, people were so distraught by the unhealthy conditions he described that meat sales in the U.S. plummeted. The book’s influence urged the government to play a better role in food safety and led eventually to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.
10. Jose Marti: A hero in his native Cuba, Jose Marti is often called the "Apostle of Cuban Independence" for his writings and political work in which he argued for Cuba’s independence from Spain in the 19th century. His writings advocated Cuban sovereignty from all foreign rulers, including the United States. Marti died in action in 1895, three years before Cuba achieved its dream of independence.
11. Harriet Beecher Stowe: Another fierce abolitionist who railed against slavery, Harriet Beecher Stowe is best known for her novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, released in 1852. The book detailed the lives of slaves in realistic ways and helped make the issues of inequality understandable and accessible to millions of Americans. How popular was the book? It was the best-selling novel of the 19th century, and the second-best-selling book of the century, period, behind only the Bible. Interestingly, while Stowe intended the title character of Tom to be a noble, Christian slave, various "Tom shows" that took advantage of weak copyright laws sprung up nationwide, and those stage plays often differed drastically from Stowe’s novel and intent. The spread of these shows, as well as the pervasive cultural stereotypes inspired by the book, eventually turned the phrase "Uncle Tom" into a pejorative term aimed at African-Americans perceived as too eager to please white people. Still, there’s no denying Stowe’s tremendous impact.
12. Charles Darwin: It’s impossible to underestimate the impact or importance of Charles Darwin’s work as a scientist in the 1800s. His theory of evolution and common animal ancestry have polarized readers ever since. He wrote multiple books on the subject, but his best-known is likely 1859’s On the Origin of Species, which laid the foundations for evolutionary biology and changed the world forever. The impact on scientific study and religious doctrine has been massive.
13. Thomas Aquinas: Saint Thomas Aquinas, who lived from 1225-1274, was a pivotal theological figure whose writings are still read and cherished by worshippers worldwide. He’s revered as one of the greatest philosophers in the history of the Catholic Church, thanks to his Summa Theologica("Summary of Theology") and Summa contra Gentiles. Despite the fact that the Summa Theologica went unfinished, it became a foundational text in theological circles and summed up the Church’s teachings at the time. His works even gave rise to a school of philosophy about them: Thomism.
14. Thomas Paine: Long before this Founding Father had his works co-opted by cable hosts, he was known for his political writings distributed in the pamphlet Common Sense. He argued strongly for American independence from British rule, and even left England for the Colonies in order to be a part of the burgeoning American Revolution. The pamphlet became a smash success and helped galvanize public opinion behind the Revolution.
15. Karl Marx: The man whose name is still a lightning rod for passionate argument about the ups and downs of the free market, Karl Marx penned The Communist Manifesto, one of the most powerful and influential political texts in history. He believed that capitalism would eventually crumble from internal tension, leading to a stateless or "pure" communism. Marx wrote the book with Friedrich Engels, with whom he also developed the belief system known as Marxism, the details of which are much better explained here.
16. Simone de Beauvoir: One of the major female writers of the 20th century and a key player in the century’s feminist movement, French author Simone de Beauvoir broke ground with The Second Sex, an examination of the role women have played in society throughout history. The book attacked men for labeling women as a mysterious "Other," claiming that they used this as an excuse to ignore women and refuse to understand them. The book also did drastic things for the understanding and study of gender roles versus sexuality.
17. Rene Descartes: "I think, therefore I am." That simple sentence shook the world. Rene Descartes made huge contributions to the fields of mathematics (the Cartesian coordinate system) and philosophy, with his Discourse on the Method containing that famous phrase that crystallized his approach to existence and rationality. Descartes reasoned that the only thing for sure he can know is that he’s a thinking thing, which is the most distilled form and explanation of existence.
18. Dante Alighieri: This Middle Age poet is known for his Divine Comedy, a sprawling work that includes three volumes and is regarded to be one of the best works in history. The three volumes of the epic poem — Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradisio — chart Dante’s journey through Hell and Purgatory and into Paradise, acting as a parallel of a soul’s journey through the world to reach God. Its power and success helped earn Dante the nickname "The Supreme Poet."
19. Adam Smith: First published in 1776, Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations is a masterwork in economic theory that argues the benefits of a free-market economy. Many of today’s economic theories and arguments can be traced back to Smith’s work. His earlier publication, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, discussed the "invisible hand," the self-regulating aspect of the free market.
20. Fyodor Dostoyevsky: One of the masters of Russian literature, Fyodor Dostoyevsky used his novels and short stories to profoundly explore human relationships, psychology, and religious beliefs. Crime and Punishment dealt with morality in a frank and moving way, and his final novel, The Brothers Karamazov, was also renowned for its ethical musings on nature, God, and moral choices. His works influenced many other writers, including Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce.
21. Niccolo Machiavelli: Machiavelli’s most famous work, and the one that would make his name a household phrase, wasn’t published until five years after his death. The Prince was a political treatise about how political power can be obtained and held, often through extreme measures. As a result, the word "Machiavellian" soon entered the lexicon to mean any move or series of actions in which power is acquired at the expense of innocents.
22. Sigmund Freud: Sigmund Freud’s name is synonymous with mental health. He founded the field of psychoanalysis and gained notoriety for his theories about how sexual desire was the main driver behind human action. He published a multitude of books and papers on psychiatry, including The Interpretation of Dreams and Beyond the Pleasure Principle. His theories revolutionized psychiatry and had a lasting impact on the field.
23. Carl Jung: Another major player in brain matters, Carl Jung is noted as the founder of analytical psychology. His psychological studies and theories gave rise to a number of concepts still used today, including the use of archetypes to explain behavior and the existence of the collective unconscious. Another popular psychiatric assessment tool, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, sprang up from Jung’s theories.
24. Plato: Student of Socrates and mentor to Aristotle, Plato is one of the most influential and important figures in the history of Western philosophy. His writings have been circulated and published worldwide for centuries, and there are 36 dialogues and 13 letters to his name. His Socratic dialogues (in which Socrates plays a major role in the discussion) explore a host of philosophical issues, with The Republic ranking among one of Plato’s best. The dialogue examines the quality of justice in governmental and individual terms, and it remains a cornerstone of political theory to this day.
25. William Shakespeare: What’s there to say? William Shakespeare is widely and accurately regarded as the best writer in the history of the English language. His stunning body of plays and poems have shaped modern drama in innumerable ways. His comedies were witty and quick, and his dramas — including Hamlet and Macbeth — rank among some of the best works ever produced. He’s a writer who didn’t just change the world; he helped create it.

Wehe . . . the STINKING :LIAR was too dumb to pick up that Marquez was in fact on his list!

LMAO!

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

Not at all Stinking Lying Coward, I scanned the list and Marquez is a good read....the fact that you think reading him makes you an ‘intellectual’ doesn’t change that. But perhaps on reflection this group suits you better:

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha!

Is that the best that the foot-shooting egg-faced STINKING LIAR can come back with?

Ssschplott!

Oh and just by the way, STINKING LIAR, I didn't say anything at all about being an intellectual. Your Alpha Gimp DumbPlum suggested that I had truckloads of "commie literature" so I mentioned a few of my recent reads and asked if they constituted "commie literature". Then your Servile Gimp Dumbass - the same illiterate moron who's never heard of people like Kurt Vonnegut or Khaled Hosseini but who decides to enter a discussion about literature anyway - so Dumbass lists the authors I mentioned (repeatedly and in a state of trembling excitement) and starts banging on about how I'm trying to sound intelligent. I claimed nothing of the sort and I still don't think reading good books like The Kite Runner, Captain Corelli's Mandolin or Remains of the Day makes me or anyone who's read them any kind of intellectual.

Don't take my word for it, STINKING LIAR, it's all on the thread above. Just scroll up and re-read it.

Now, on the other hand and in stark contrast , Googling a list of supposed intellectual authors and putting it up as a "journey" to becoming a "true intellectual" . . . well now, there's intellectual snobbery for you . . . ironically from a small-minded and poorly-educated half-wit who's never heard of half of the authors on his list, let alone read them.

LMAO!

Rooi, 

Admit it - seeing Marx in that list gave you a semi.

"I still don't think reading good books like The Kite Runner, Captain Corelli's Mandolin or Remains of the Day makes me or anyone who's read them any kind of intellectual."

No, according to you, if they have not read them or know of them, they are just illiterate.. not so?

"the same illiterate moron who's never heard of people like Kurt Vonnegut or Khaled Hosseini"

LMFAO......it really didn't take you very long at all Piss Mint

You are so very predictable Piss Mint..... I know that your your ego knows no bounds...…and you are also incredibly fucking stupid......…. you see......this was precisely why I openly admitted that I did not know who these authors were... the bait was set......and boy did you take it...…... you immediately pounced, to try and show how you were so much better than anyone else who had not read these books

What a classic hook - line - sinker...….

With ego driven twats like you, this is incredibly easy to do

ROTFLMFAO

"Hook . . . line . . . sinker . . . rod . . . fisherman . . . jetty . . . beach . . . seaboard . ."

Rooi's way of saying that you're a big fish, DA...

He often hands out unintended compliments. 

I mean these are Godzilla type sizes.

LMFAO

His ego knows no bounds...….. he did precisely and exactly what I expected and predicted..... just far …...far quicker

What a classic ego trip from our resident Piss Mint
