I'm going to post some more words of wisdom but before I do - to save time - are there any Trumpanzees out there who have never heard of Noam Chomsky or would dispute that he's a very wise man?
Hmmm?
You mean the guy of whom the following is written about:-
Noam Chomsky is an intellectual, political activist, and critic of the foreign policy of the United States and other governments. Noam Chomsky describes himself as a libertarian socialist, a sympathizer of anarcho-syndicalism, and is considered to be a key intellectual figure within the left-wing of politics of the United States.
Is that the man? If so - don't even bother to repeat the drivel on site,
There's irony . . .
. . . then there's lots of irony . . .
. . . then there's massive amounts of irony as far as the eye can see . . .
. . . and then there's this . . . Ou Maaik calling Noam Chomsky's views "drivel".
Noam Chomsky's academic achievements, awards and honours:

Ou Maaik's academic achievements, awards and honours:
"Municipal worker in Ballito."
Ou Maaik's academic achievements, awards and honours:
Ja, that's ou Maaik for you . . . the stubborn and stupid old fool who thinks Jacob Zuma is a "gentleman" with "great integrity" while Noam Chomsky is a fool who just writes drivel.
Listen dose - anybody can be wise on sceintific issues - but a total fool on political issues, I question the issue of anarcho-syndicalism. Remember Charles Manson - that was what he was involved in.
I am not interested in the viewpoints of an anarchist even if you may be. You pr obably are because you are fascinated by political BS.
"anarcho-syndicalism" Sounds like someone trying to paint Marxism in a different color....a wise Communist should be the textbook example for an oxymoron.
Rather quote Winston Churchill.......at least he’s amusing and his bust is back in the Oval Office.
Commies don't particularly like Churchill.
Well that one is interesting, We all know that Churchill was not as dishonest as Rooiek's hero Obama is, When caught out in being violating the law, Obama stuttered a couple of times and the last stutter being just before he referred to the Rule of Law, which he routinely ignored himself.
Obama did not have a teleprinter when he dealt with that one.
Churchill was no saint (you can see the good old colonial spirit running in his veins), but in some of these quotes it really is quite important to quote the whole passages they spring from. Here is Churchill's full quote about gas, for example. The last sentence is rather important.
“I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas.
I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected.
And here is the one about Hitler. Again, the last sentence is rather important:
To feel deep concern about the armed power of Germany is in no way derogatory to Germany. On the contrary, it is a tribute to the wonderful and terrible strength which Germany exerted in the Great War, when almost single-handed she fought nearly all the world and nearly beat them. Naturally, when a people who have shown such magnificent military qualities are arming night and day, its neighbours, who bear the scars of previous conflicts, must be anxious and ought to be vigilant. One may dislike Hitler’s system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated I hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations. I have on more than one occasion made my appeal in public that the Führer of Germany should now become the Hitler of peace.
Context...using half a truth to tell a big lie...the Marxist way...constant manipulative scheming...they know what's best for everyone...the greater good...the end justifies the means...bla bla bla!
Unfortunately the only way to get rid of them is a total implosion of society (due to their policies) followed by anarchy and vigilantism...and starting over from scratch...
Now, let’s see ou Rooies try to recover from that slap down.
Thanks Rooinek for that admission about me being right, I will ignore the rest if the baloney and promise to be more lenient with you in future, LOL:
Wehe . . . so Ou Maaik thinks it's "baloney" that people no longer use teleprinters?
I'm guessing Riversdal is a real eye-opener!
LMAO!
Too stupid to know just how stupid he is!
I guess it’s much easier for ou Rooies to slap ou Maaikie around for not knowing the difference between a teleprinter and a teleprompter, then to take Pakie up on his remarks.
Once again missing the crux and focusing on a trivial error, missing the point. Attacking the man, not the argument...which he either can't counter or misses entirely...and yet again LHAO and calling someone stupid. Repetitive negative BS recycled every day.
Keep om telling yourself that I have run away. Geez but your are an infantile moron.
I don't have to tell myself anything you cowardly and craven little man, I just have to click on any of the recent threads where I was stupid enough to engage you in any kind of discussion, thinking that you might have even the tiniest little bit of courage or backbone only to find you have the intestinal fortitude of a jellyfish.
....rather than a fat, decrepit old flop who finds his ‘courage’ in a bottle?
Can’t be me Peeper, you called me scrawny just recently. So it must be you. And you find the picture distasteful Peeper.....the mirror must be a trial each morning then? How much weight do you carry on your 5’8”.....230 lbs?
Hmmmm . . . this sounds like a challenge for me to put up the picture I have of you that shows your soft paunch drooping over some hideous tracksuit pants that fail to mask how scrawny your little white legs are.
In stark contrast, you have absolutely no idea what I look like, how tall I am or what I weigh - zero - while I have a picture of you proving everything I'm saying which I'm more than happy to put up if you give me permission. As you well know, the picture does include what may be one of your family members so it's your call, flabster.
PS Moffie, I think I asked you this before but you did a Cowardunce and ran away instead of answ ering . . . but do you collect kettles or teapots or something? In the background of the picture I'm talking about there's a shelf full of what looks like kettles or teapots.
"Geez but your are an infantile moron. "
And that's putting it mildly and being nice...no conscious and no honor...living to hate those who don't share his Commie ways...the personification of those who are fcing up our civilization .
So is that a no then, Moffie?
Can you at least answer the question about the teapots?
Must say, if you had the face of Angela Merkel, the upper body of Jabba the Hutt and the legs of a praying mantis, you would have to be pretty stupid and lacking in self-awareness to call the other guy fat or ugly . . . especially if you have absolutely no idea what the other guy looks like while he's got a photo of you!
LMAO!
Do you recognize these symptoms:
Signs and symptoms of rickets can include:
