Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted December 10, 2006 Canadian Paul , you've probably had so many hits that you forget your first. But Pinochet is my very first.I'm deflowered at last. Congratulations. It's a proud moment isn't it? Up there with a birth of a child or all that other soppy crap. Mitchell Sharp was my first. I remember that day well - it was also the end of season party at work, so double celebration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slave to the Grave 26 Posted December 10, 2006 The fact that he was the spitting image of Philippe Pétain should have put people off him... Possibly. Marvellous military milinary though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted December 10, 2006 ive put on £100 that Gerald Ford will die by years end. Iain, we've already proved that you can't make a bet in the UK about Ford's death & even if you have found an illegal bookmaker, then he's in for a Christmas treat, and as for you, you'll get only a maximum of £101 back. Besides, this is the Pinochet thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted December 10, 2006 Canadian Paul , you've probably had so many hits that you forget your first. But Pinochet is my very first.I'm deflowered at last. I was one of the 760(!) people at the Rotten Deadpool who picked him. Ummm...on your return flight could you, like, think really hard about Abdel Rachman the blind sheik? Thanking you in advance.... Congrats! It's a good one to start with too, generally someone considered not well liked. I haven't been doing that all this long - from Reagan to Carr (I didn't have Pinochet on any list sadly), there's only been 16 hits, mainly because I didn't figure out how to do this properly until the inception of the WDP. I think my airplane thing only works on DL candidates, which means I can't influence them until well into 2007 since I'm driving back instead of flying. Besides, if I started talking about fundamentalist hardliners while waiting for my flight, I might not make it off the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted December 10, 2006 Good riddance to the old bastard (I think I said that about Botha as well) 4 points for me, my 8th hit for DDP, first for exactly 5 months.. ...well placed for a top ten finish, not bad for a virgin (of DDP, that is...)

Lothar_The_Lurker 1 Posted December 11, 2006 General Augusto Pinochet, infamous former dictator of Chile, has passed away aged 91 to give DeathList 2006 its eleventh success. The ruler of Chile from 1973 until 1990 was famously arrested in the UK in 1998 following charges of human rights abuses brought in Spain. Although he was eventually not extradited and was allowed to return to Chile, the Chilean authorities pursued charges against him, eventually placing him under house arrest just days before he managed to slip through their fingers by dying. 2006 was Pinochet’s tenth appearance on DeathList, this year receiving the number 43 position. News reports have suggested that there have been mass street celebrations in Santiago to mark DeathList 2006's eleventh success. What were the people in Santiago celebrating? The death of Pinochet, or the fact that Deathlist got it's 11th sucess? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Democrat Posted December 11, 2006 How many people did Pinochet actually have killed? Oh about a tenth of what Castro's managed, or at least that Castro's murdered that we know about. I don't know why people get so worked up about Pinochet - it was only Communists he killed after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olveres 8 Posted December 11, 2006 So compared with true mass murderers such as Hitler, Genghis Khan, Stalin, Bush, Blair et al. he's quite tame really, anyway, it was nice of him to help the list by popping off this year, cheers Augusto and adios forever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes to mass murder you really can't beat a well-trained Communist. And what's more they don't hand over power to democrats once they've finished, unlike Pinochet.

Xenon II 0 Posted December 11, 2006 I was a member a while ago I'm not sure how long ago maybe a year or so. Anyway I noticed my account no longer existed because of inactivity or whatever, but I just had to sign up again to pay my respects to Augusto Pinochet. I was so shocked and saddened to hear of his passing and I just wanted to offer my condolences to his family. I always admired the guy and his longevity and the way he soldiered on against all odds. It is a very sad day for fans of his. A lot of commie scum was out in the streets celebrating his death. To celebrate someones death is barbaric. He deserves a state funeral! By seizing power he stopped Chile sliding into communism and the commies that are now so jubilant at his death, well they better watch out that they don't burn in hell for their hatred!

Sounds dubious and I forgot to add just now: Britons and Northern Irish will be eternally grateful for the support that he and his country gave us during the Falkland's War. It was much appreciated thanks! I'm a Briton and I couldn't give a toss about the Falklands, give them back for me, save the taxpayer a fair wad no doubt....

Well Communist/Socialist, whatever, he'll be dead soon anyway. This is Pinochet's thread anyway. As for his support in the Falklands, what support? The Americans put him in and they put the military junta in Argentina and got cold feet over interfering. Pinochet probably took advantage for nationalist reasons, getting one over big brothers Argentina.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest viva chile mierda! Posted December 11, 2006 Okay first of all after reading these messages.. i can see that most of you arnt even CHILEAN to start with therefore i don't see why you believe you have the need to speak of pinochet the way you all have and express your ideas toward him when u crackers were not even affected by what he has done, or lived under his rule in Chile. Therefore its childish to wish death on someone who hasnt affected your life in any sort of way. ( IF HE DID THATS A DIFFERENT STORY AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CELEBRATE HIS DEATH ) Was he a bad guy? sure he was, But what the ignorant Chilean people do not see, is that if it wasn't for him Chile's economy would not be what it is today. And thanks to him we are not a communist country. Sure its not fare for those people who were killed, terrorized, and jailed, when he was in power.. but you know what that was their fate and people need to get over it. He made us the solid country we are today and for those who don't see that, you are just blinded by ignorance, because its the cold hard truth just accept it already. He did us a favor in the long run by running the country, yea he totally fuked up by staying for 17 years no one saw that coming. I am not for or against pinochet iam only neutral i recognize the fact that he killed people ... yea ... okay.. but who am i to judge him for what hes done? only God can do that. So justice wasn't served here on earth im sure his sins will not be forgotten. He left this world by making a change, improved many lives.. aswell as killed.. you don't hear about those he helped out... obviously your going to only hear about the bad things hes done. so to all you Non-Chileans you cant rely on facts that you read on the internet and books because if you didnt live it.. you dont know shiet. You have to know both sides of the story in order to understand what really happened and why things happened. he made a change and thats all that matters. It just sucks that half chileans are for him and half are against because now there is going to be conflict amoung chileans... for those who are celebrating his death and those who are mourning his death.
