UK Election and who to choose?
Well if we’re not screwed by one we are by the other, we have Gordon Brown and you know some times I admire him but the majority of the time I think he’s just lying pratt that should just move on in life, he’s no better than Blair. I had to laugh when suddenly Brown whom was a rather hidden man with his personal life suddenly appears on Piers Morgan and not to much before the general election starts, publicity stunt or what.
You know that what ever Brown says, he really has something to say off camera, a hidden agenda me thinks! Just look at his behaviour when he thought he was away form the cameras and called a woman a bigot, I really wanted him to let rip in that car whilst people were listening. But all that said, it really just shows him as being human albeit a little two faced.
- I have to consider what Labour has done to us, Poor NHS funding and inadequate doctors resulted in my fathers death, my uncles death, my aunts death.
- Treated my mother like a criminal for their mistake, she’s an OAP for Christ sakes.
- Can’t even get their bin men in order but still charge my mother an incredible amount of council tax.
- I needed help from their job centre, but instead got sod all but I’m sure if I’d come from another country I could have had help. All those years of them money grabbing
- DVLA threatening legal action for a vehicle which I’d had sorn with them and later informed them was written off which my insurance company also notified them of. They harassed me for months despite me telling them the numerous times again.
- The list could go on, but for now this will do
We’ve then got the used car salesman, David Cameron. Honestly I think I’d struggle to buy a car from him he just gives off these vibes that he’s after a good commission this month.
BNP, well you know I was considering having a look at what they stand for and today we got a leaflet through the door so I had a quick read. The way I read it is they want to rip our troops out of other countries which could be a devastation not just for use for those countries we’ve gone into but also for ourselves. We need to fix the problems we’ve helped create there and we still need to fight terrorism, if we just pick up and leave places like Afghanistan then we might as well throw them back into chaos and give them some weapons to come get us with afterwards.
The bombings we’ve endured in this country hurt people who didn’t choose to fight in this war, it killed people who were just living their life and if we continued to do nothing they would still continue to come at us. The world is our oyster and we live in it so we have a duty to care for it and not just ourselves because if don’t then when all hell breaks loose we will then be dragged in to it.
BNP also don’t believe in climate change, well regardless of their belief the things we do which scientist claim contribute to climate change are still ruining our world and how we live. Coal, Gas and oil won’t last for ever, landfill sites will still be a mess and will still give of methane. The gases thrown into the Earth’s air will still be poisonous and waste from nuclear power plants still can’t be disposed of easily.
And the other parties……… Well if I’m honest I don’t really understand what they are proposing or what they stand for but I guess I should give them some consideration.
OK after careful consideration I think we should line them all up, blindfold some voters, maybe all of them and give them a paint ball gun who ever gets hit the fewest is in. lol
Maybe not?
XOOPS – Legal dispute and lies backfires on them!
Well XOOPS has most certainly had a rough ride over the years but never in its history has its users been lied to so much as it has since the departure of some key players just a few years ago.
They persecuted someone who’s intentions were to raise the profile of XOOPS to give it a better foundation and promote the project which he did successfully.
Then came along new leadership which I sadly had involvement in helping create. James proposed the current leader (at the time of publication) to Skalpa who was then the lead developer, he agreed and so the transition begun, however after a short period of time you could see management changing into a dictatorship from the new project leader, the project had been here before and it didn’t work it suppressed everything XOOPS stood for. We questioned this and were ignored, then treated like crap and lied to, our words to the community were edited and twisted to make us look bad, to make it appear like we were being aggressive and attacking the project and trying to bring it down.
Mamba was the key player in trying to destroy the public profile of once dedicated XOOPS members who gave much time and in some cases money. His attitude was downright wrong, rude and abusive he made it his sole purpose to hide the real truth from the XOOPS community and then he tried to pursue with a legal case against Herko Coomans and now the court has thrown out their case Mamba is considering an appeal claiming the Dutch courts:
“This case will be definitely a warning to other Open Source projects to avoid the Dutch “Stichting” legal form, and about the Dutch court system that obviously doesn’t understand the Open Source project idea.”
That almost seems a jibe at the Dutch legal system.
Mama AKA Michael Beck has shown a clear disrespect to many people and masked this from the XOOPS community, its not their fault they believe his lies, he did after all edit many posts to suit his own agenda.
I hope now that Herko will consider counter suing them for damages, these were all personal agenda’s and as such I think the whole board could be liable for damages and deformation of character.
Imagine all the communities money Mamba has blown on his personal crusade to try and ruin good people, personally I’m surprised he still has a position in XOOPS……..
Here is a few words from a friend of mine, Marcan:
Quote:
In case you have not heard already, Herko won the lawsuit against him (well in fact, they lost, he did not win anything
Anyway, you can read more about it here:
http://www.xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=5341
http://community.impresscms.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&type=&topic_id=4250&forum=12Now that the news is out I would like to make a very special request to all of you: show your support! In the last years, Herko did all this by himself. He was alone, fighting 1 or 2 people who managed to turn an entire community against him. The community only knows what it had been told. Nothing else. No one really jumped in the arena to defend Herko, probably fearing the 1 or 2 people at the head of the XOOPS community who were being totally unreasonable. But now, they lost, it’s clearly stated publicly. They say they are thinking of an appeal, but that would be ridiculous.
The lawsuit dilapidated all the money of the XOOPS Foundation in the Netherlands (14 000 euros) + more then 1 500 euros of Herko’s money himself. And it’s not hard to make the connection that it probably cost the same thing for the other part. So in conclusion: the XOOPS project dilapidated more then 28 000 euros (37 000 USD) to sue the man who got XOOPS from a few thousand users to more then 50 000 users, the guy who created a Foundation to help XOOPS, the guy who successfully created more then 40 000 euros of assets for the XOOPS community, the guy who managed to register the XOOPS trademark in dozens of countries. The guy who did it all for the greater good of XOOPS. This guy was sued, dragged in the mud, publicly humiliated, his bank accounts were frozen, he got treated like a criminal. And all this for what ? For nothing. Think about all the shit he had to cope with in the last few years!
I hope this will be the end of Mamba’s persistence to try and ruin good people, and possibly the end of his attitude that if you work and contribute to another project that your not allowed to do the same with XOOPS.
Here is his words to Incama, a man who has dedicated a hell of a lot of time over many years just because he had love for the XOOPS project:
Quote:
You left XOOPS, you contribute to a competing project, so please move on…
He said this in recent comments on the XOOPS news article stated above:
That how he treats good people!
A lesson learned……
