Do tell. Or else we might think you are resorting to the common debate tactic of implying inadequacy without actually having to be specific simply because you want to make a cheap debating point.

Ovethinker – your comments are incredibly ironic because…. actually I’ll let you work out why.

“I have been educated in racism by experts: minorities with chips on their shoulders who see racism everywhere.”

Three points, nothing but net.

Where in my statement did I say that ALL Africans live on farms? (though I bet most do). Where did I say that ALL have at least a dozen siblings? This is simply an example of how the date could be legitimately confused with someone four years younger. In fact, what I was thinking when I wrote that was the “Every Sperm is Sacred” scene from “The Meaning of Life.”

And to your third question, no; I have been educated in racism by experts: minorities with chips on their shoulders who see racism everywhere.

Overthinker – do you think all Africans live on farms? Do you think all Africans have at least a dozen siblings?

Have you always been a racist?

“Oh, HE was the one born the year the cow got sick! I though that was Mgumgume! No, wait, he was born the year after that – it was Jnguno who was born that year! With eighteen children, it gets confusing….”

How does the Ministry know his actual birth date?

After 4 or 5 years, in a society where the exact date of birth is not celebrated, I could understand being a couple of weeks off. Maybe even a month (“It was early summer, wasn’t it?”).

But FOUR YEARS!?!

One would think that after an experience like giving birth, one would at least remember what year it happened in.

man, you always finish your articles with some wild assumptions!
it is not uncommon in Senegal to have a different date of birth in passport than the actual one. the reason is simply because most people just don’t register their children as soon as they are born, and they would do it when admitting their children to school, by that time, most parents do not remember the exact date. and you can add to that, all clerical errors at the time of registration.
i feel it is unlikely that his family tampered with his passport date of birth just so that he can play in Japan.

How about we let that philipino chick stay, and throw this schmuck out?? I wonder how many underage highschool chicks he banged and won’t get prosecuted for, (not sure what fukuoka’s age of consent is tho.)
