The slight problem with that is that he's a troll, deliberately trying to make every thread about him, and if you ignore his posts you'll be left scratching your head about what started the madness.

---

Oh, I know he's annoying and likely deliberately. Thus the scrolling. But face it, we are all feeding him right now in our own ways. Very few people seem to have the will power to not feed the troll. And I'm not among those few. All I can do is look after my own blood pressure.

But thanks for the advice.

It’s not the sentiment that disappoints, but the reliance on tedious cliché. Where is the wit? Oscar Wilde can rest easy, that’s for sure.

Congratulations. What do you want, a fucking medal?
My point is, as I'm sure can figure out, that this as least as obscure as the slang word, with no explanation offered.

The above shit was funny and was an insult aimed at a particular person for being a fuckwit.

"Ranga" is not funny and is an insult aimed at a trait* shared by a group of people, therefore falls into the same verboten category as "mong" or "spaz".

*my research into this area is limited, but from my reading of Minchin et al I understand this to be a contraction of 'orangutan' and used as a term of abuse for people with red hair

Your current option is very basic. I would go with

{
 printf("Deano is a fuckwit");

I prefer that innocent people be protected from Islamic terrorists (let’s be honest, they’re who we are torturing here), rather than allowing the terrorist to kill those innocent people.

Some innocent people will be tortured of course and that is a shame. Lessons must be learnt and those situations avoided, but we are in a war, and in war the innocent are sometime victims.

Of course, torture is a very inefficient way of getting information, as people will tell the torturer what they want to hear to make the pain stop. Much better are things like sleep deprivation, drugs and multiple interrogations to check for discrepancies, but this takes time.

Hypocrisy and double standards slip down the list of what’s important when people’s lives are at stake.

I agree and I said as much in my first post upthread.

I do not care about the responses against my post. It's "us" vs "them", and I am on the side of "us".

The brutal truth is they will hate us whether we torture them or not. They will kill us for simply not being like them. Thus they have to die first, and we have to extract information from them in any way that works. Torture isn't the most effective tool, but it can be quick and useful. It's a hammer, and it has a restricted utility.

That's they way it is.
