...can you even pretend to have an IT angle here?

Darwinininin-ism at work ! (always assuming it was the large-todgered group that got blasted) ie small-cocked morons shoot well-endowed rivals, thus earning themselves a well-earned rest at the republic's pleasure where they'll do further damage to the genepool.

Paris, cos she's 'touched base' often enough...

> or is the idea of people opening fire on other people in public places relatively normal these days?

You'd be surprised.

Are you calling me small?

--Select a urinal as far from other patrons as possible

--Do not look at another man's manhood (or lack of it)

--No talking. If any talking must be done, it must be limited to a brief greeting, and should only be addressed to someone with which you have at least passing familiarity.

--No discussion of what went on in the restroom is permitted, except to comment on how someone had vomited all over or ripped a stall door off while in a piss-drunk state.

These simple rules are for everyone's protection and urinary enjoyment, so please follow.

Mr Macintyre, this is South Africa where the vast majority of robbers are armed and the rape rate is the highest in the world. I'm still trying to figure out the IT angle here, though.....

Why does reg say there are 2 comments, when there are in fact 5?

They can continue thier (mines bigger than yours) competition in the state pen.

Where no doubt those who are already in there will be more than willing to show just how big thiers is.

I wonder how they will like becoming the new Bitches on the block, should go down(on hands and knees) well.

;p

Paris,,, she's a master at dodgy style...

"or is the idea of people opening fire on other people in public places relatively normal these days?"

In SA, sadly it is...

Seriously. People who are over 30 years old having a row over the size of their penis? Why does it matter? School children are more mature than this.

(I can't believe that no-one's said it yet!)

For those who died.

And for those wo feel so insecure about their short d* that they have to keep guns in their boot to protect their... honour ?

The point of the UK gun laws is to ensure that "law-abiding folks" don't really need to defend themselves. They're highly unlikely to be faced with a gun; being armed won't really help much as the criminal is going to be in the driving seat, he'll be the first to produce a weapon and will probably be the first to fire.

Yes there is a certain amount of gun crime in the UK, but compared to SA it's practically non-existent; certainly not something you'd associate with middle-aged people watching football in a pub.

is the idea of people opening fire on other people in public places relatively normal these days?

Unfortunately I'd have to second and third the other comments. This is SA, y'know.

And some of the guys fetching the blasters from their boot? Cops. Don't know if there's an IT angle in that bit of info either but it's effing depressing.

A shooting?!

In South Africa?!?!

In public?!?!?!

Surely not, say it ain't so!!!!!!!!

Once saw a T-Shirt brought back from SA with a picture of a Glock 9mm and ammo on it. The writing around/over the picture said:

"WELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICA

NOW

DUCK MOTHERF**KER!!"

Kinda sums it all up rather neatly don't you think.

----------------------------------------------

Aliens cos, well have you heard Percy Montgomery in interview?

Guy sounds like he has a skin mask and eats rodents for dinner!

Everyone seems to be assuming that the perpetrators were told that they were poorly endowed. I find this likely as well.

However, if I were outside my own neighborhood and complimented somebody on the mouth-watering heft of his equipment, I might also very well end up watching my life running out of a gaping chest wound.

Just saying.

What's the Paris Hilton angle?

you don't mention which one really did have the largest penis

@AC with urinal code:

*cough* you forgot the first rule, it is unspoken/unwritten

paris looks like she is trying to measure a really tiny penis

... or the fact that they got butt raped in the one day games in England?

I demand an Andrew Flintoff icon.

Who has the biggest dick? Theres all seem the same to me; complete and upper massive DICKS!! Oh well, at least there are a few less dicks in the world!

"I understand that guns are currently outlawed in Britain. What are the chances that law-abiding folks will ever be allowed to defend themselves there?"

Less Guns means they don't need to...

Lets look at the numbers:

Gun crime in the USA for 2006

(Population 301,139,947)

Source US dept of justice

Crimes committed involving firearms:

388,897 or 1,291/Million

Murders

11,566 or 38.4/Million

Robberies

188,804 or 627/Million

Aggravated assaults

188,527 or 626/Million

Gun Crime in the UK for 2006

(Population 60,776,238)

Source UK Home office

Crimes committed involving firearms:

18,489 or 304.2/Million

Murders

59 or 0.97/Million

Robberies

3,979 or 65.47/Million

Serious injury (not including death)

507 or 8.34/Million

Which looks safer - A country where everyone can have a gun?

or a Country where you cannot carry a gun?

Anyone who justifies gun ownership, by suggesting they could use it on another human being should be banned from even looking at a gun.

"Three men were last week shot dead in a south Durban tavern after a "remark about a patron's penis size" turned seriously nasty, South Africa's Independent Online reports."

Read the article, it was in South Durban, in South Africa, where luckily enough people are allowed to carry guns and therefore defend themselves against accusations of mini-winkyism such as this.

In the UK we would have to put up with the embarrassment of having another man look at our penises while urinating without resorting to murder. Maybe one day the powers that be will allow us all to carry guns and Britain will be as safe as the US where you are 25 times more likely to be shot dead than here in Britain.

Until then we will just have to resort to using knives...

But they never seem to explain why they all have such small willies.

Just a couple of points.

I know it's a week or so on, but this story is continuing.

Firstly, the guys who went to get their guns were Policemen. Therefore the issue of gun ownership is irrelevant.

Secondly, because this IS South Africa, the shooters are claiming that they were defending themselves from racial slurs.
