Dean Adams, no contest. I've seen him multiple times at races. US rounds at least. I have literally never seen Melling at any race, even Silverstone.


 


That's quite the indictment.
 
Well then, proof that even if you do show up to a couple rounds, you can still write .......under a convenient alias "staff writer" as SupBiasPlanet loves to do.   ;)

i like cal but he is not better then dovi and was proven last season. 


 


Last season was Cal's second on a GP bike, it was Dovizioso's 12th. That Dovi was more capable isn't surprising, really.


 


This season Cal is clearly better, isn't he?

Entirely fictional?  Well that defines 99% of what is written by journalist the world over in all categories.  No journalist writes FACT they write there opinion of what they see or hear.  Therefore it is fiction.  FACT is something written in a peer reviewed scientific journal.


 


Entirely .... and based on no fact, just your opinion. :)


 


Please, explain to me where this journalist has written his opinion of what he has seen or heard?


 
<span style="color:rgb(54,54,54);font-family:'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', serif;GRANBURY, Texas (AP) - Officials say at least six people were killed when a spring tornado outbreak devastated parts of North Texas, destroying or damaging dozens of homes and injuring dozens of people. The worst-hit city Wednesday was Granbury, where authorities say the fatalities occurred as the deadly tornado tore through two neighborhoods. Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds delivered the death toll at a midnight news conference and said dozens were injured.


 


Or this one


 
<p style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', serif;color:rgb(54,54,54);JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia has extended a landmark ban on clearing primary rainforests and peatlands for another two years, a move greeted by environmentalists with praise and skepticism.
<p style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', serif;color:rgb(54,54,54);Presidential environment adviser Pungki Agus Purnomo said Thursday that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (soo-SEE'-loh BAHM'-bahng yoo-doh-YOH'-noh) signed the decree to continue the 2011 moratorium, which barred new logging and palm oil plantation permits under a $1 billion deal with Norway.


 


How about this one?

In actuality, I would go so far as to say that 99% of reporting is based on the facts. An opinion is kept to the editiorial section.

First one is not fact at all.  It is all based on assumptions.  At the time there was no idea of the number dead, number of houses destroyed.  


 


Second one, reporting what the government said it has done but no reporting on what is actually happening.  Therefore simply repeating what the kool aid tastes like.


 


Third one, reporting on numbers and then reporting on what is "said" to be keeping prices muted.  I would say this is just repeating what those serving the kool-aid want him to report.


 


Now, this sort of journalism makes up a small percentage of "news".  It is all based on assumptions and the report is not really reporting on what they know as fact, they are reporting on what they are told.  The rest of the "news" is even poorer.

Then again, you are still all butt-hurt that your second-hand opinion about a country you have never been to wasn't just accepted as gospel by someone that has been going there for the best part of fourty years.


 


You are such a little ..... - I can't believe you carry a grudge over something as inconsequential as you being a ....... know-it-all over something you know nothing. You have just proven what a silly little fanny you really are..

Next time someone sends you a post with a :) at the end of it, maybe you should consider not only the explicit content, but the implicit as well. Especially when that post contains a reworking of your own words in a prior post.


 


But then, you are young and your opinions are fact. No worries - I won't bother trying to gently point out your errors in future, I will just ignore your drivel/call it ........, as circumstances dictate.


 


Your categorisation of 99% of journalism is ....., based purely on your own perception and not true in reality. You are talking out of your arse  - there, better?

Sure. most people can. Thats why I believe theres hope for you yet but judging by your moronic statement that Cal is clearly better ( maybe you should have wikied this but Dovi is on an inferior bike this year) I am of the belief that you can never adapt and improve. Your posts will always be complete .....
 
'Clearly better' than last year.


 


Not that I expected literacy from you. Just a product of your lack of education, no doubt.

Why would I be at all dismayed when your only recourse when you are challenged is to say you are right because you just are?.


 


As I said previously, I have been attending gatherings of the Sri Lankan community in Sydney, and once for that matter in Melbourne where the community is even larger, for the last 25 years, and I agree that the Sri Lankans of my acquaintance are among the most friendly and welcoming in disposition of any people you could meet,  as you say from your broader experience. I also don't think there is any terrorism from the Tamils any more, there being few if any Tamils of a belligerent nature remaining. I am sure tourists are not in any way targeted by anyone either.


 


However, when I told my Sri Lankan best friend and business partner that I had been reliably informed about the true nature of things in Sri Lanka by a man who is always right, he continued to  maintain that relatives, friends and acquaintances of his who are no longer extant, some of whom I had met, remained dead. If you really believe that one of the most notoriously corrupt third world governments in existence, of whom many questions are being asked internationally concerning the final stages of their civil war, allow  their more questionable activities to be freely reported in the local press you are excessively naive.


 


I am guessing you are also going to tell me that you believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, and that the Murdoch press as one example are never driven by agendas, in Australia or elsewhere, and always behave completely ethically.
 
So the answer is no - you have never been there and are speaking from a position of absolutely zero knowledge on the subject.
 
I don't know anything about sri lanka except their food is good and I like the chicks with the chocolate skin. mmmmmmmm chocolate ........

Yes , I choose to believe my friend of 25 years, who has 15 years more experience of Sri Lanka than you claim, those 15 years being the first 15 years of his life when he was resident there,  rather than some anonymous plonker on the internet on whom he would  have on available evidence about 75 IQ points even apart from being fluent in Sinhalese, which just might make it a remote possibility that he is better informed than you.


 


Experience is good, if you can draw correct conclusions from it. However, if it was possible to send  a turkey  to the Andromeda galaxy and back, I suspect the result would be a turkey which had been to the Andromeda galaxy rather than a savant.
 
so he lived there till he was 15, 30 years ago. Yep, my visit last year pales into insignificance compared to his currency.


 


And the rest of your bitchy post you can stick right up your voluminous ....


 


Just to remind you of my original post, that you took such umbrage to:

Great place! Rent a bike and meander... you can stay in fantastic hill 'stations' for about $5 a night. Riding is (relatively) safe and they are very cool to foreigners.


 


One of my favourite places in the world!


 


Now according to you, that indicates "<span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;75 IQ points even apart from being fluent in Sinhalese"


 


<span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;.... off you ..... You were shown up to know .... all, you are all butt-hurt about it and you can't let it go because you are a grudge holder.


 


<span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;I couldn't give a .... about your opinion or that of some bloke that left at 15, 30 years ago. I was there last year, it was great, I stand by my post.
