Actuallylike's Law

actuallylike

I'm absolutley sick of it, I really can't stand it anymore, if I hear another reference to it (incorrect ones at that) I'm going to be very, very angry indeed. To paraphrase Godwin, edited and updated for our present climate...

"As an online discussion on boards.ie grows longer, the probability of a reminder that a man has gone to jail for 6 years for smuggling garlic approaches 1."

Any time someone gets in trouble with the law, someone brings forward this little beaut as if this is the new measure of how people should be tried in this country.

And to paraphrase again, as soon as it is is brought up (don't worry, it will be, it's a limit of a sequence, you're not going to argue with maths are you?), the person that does so, automatically loses whatever debate they were involved in, and who knows, maybe infractions too?

Side decree:
Anyone caught liking a post that breaks this law shall be charged with being an accessory to a geebag.

edit:
I see already people have brought it up within this thread even? Allow me to clarify the law with a post from Gyalist

Understand? Anyone who says he was jailed for smuggling garlic breaks the law (my law, not Irish law, some day maybe?)

If you don't mind I'll choose my own accessories.

Can I be a Fascinator? You do know there was a man jailed for 6 years for fiddling with some garlic? That's shallot of time to get for what was a pretty minor offence. Somthing stinks about it. I doubt his lawyer knew his onions.

I had nearly forgot about the garlic fella

also people leave out the bit about where he was importing the garlic from.

The Chinese - communist savages who are hard at work at taking over the world. Dealing with the Chinese is not something that should be encouraged

Had to look up what a fascinator is....

a lightweight, decorative head covering worn by women on formal occasions

I might look a bit metro-sexual, what with having a man strapped to my head, but I'm willing to take the risk.

YEAH!! Nobody should point out one the prime examples of what's wrong with the judicial system in this country. Shhh, under the carpet with it.

It's all because we've given billions to the bankers

I thought this thread was going to be about people from Cork, using the phrase "Actually Like" as some kind of argumentative rebuttal.

There is a small but very important distinction. Paul Begley was not convicted for smuggling garlic but for evasion of VAT and import duties.

you do realise now, no matter what you are debating, the arguement to you will be about garlic

Monty Burnz

On a slight tangent, I love how the intellectually deficient think that any mention of Hitler/Nazis by those with an opposing view means that they have 'won' the discussion. It seems to be predicated on a misunderstanding of Godwin's Law (which is basically a humorous observation) as some sort of arbiter of internet right and wrong.

Which is a whole different barrel if apples.
