How convenient drmiler that my race prevents me from understanding. Again, I ask you, why are you allowed to criticise us but not vice versa and why do you accept all the praise but not the criticism? I've put this point better above, but it seems it was too long for you to cope with.
>Are you comparing killing a child to overeating? I didn't say it, but no, that was a really srange conclusion to draw. Read more carefully. S/he was simply saying that the Bible tells us a lot of things, but that doesn't make them part of Law, it makes them part of our own ethical frameworks. As I have stated on my own blog, I am uncomfortable with abortion, but I understand that there are significant differences between people on whether ab
That didn't sink at all, I thought it was funny.
Other people like catcoblasta have already made most of the points I will now make, but I feel I shouldn't leave the defence of my comments entirely to other people. >You know I really don't like someone who isn't even from this country making fun of the President of the USA in that fashion. Then I suggest you get a sense of humour. I have made fun of my Prime Minister and I don't consider it an attack on my country. I have made fun o
>Is Iraq today worse than under Saddam? It is not as though there was some utopian solution that would solve all of Iraq's problems. It's not worse as such and you're right there was no utopian solution to this. But just because you can't emulate Thomas More doesn't mean you should emulate George Orwell. I'm sure you are are however aware of the study by US and Iraqi scientists that has found that the risk of death was 2.5 times greate
Dubya Bush: Making sure the American Dream remains Just A Dream . A 1971 study found that when governments negotiate with terrorists the hostage is killed 4 in 10 times. When the government makes no concessions the hostage is killed 7 in 10 times.
As you all know, I’m a left winger, so I’m always concerned about the poorer people in the Australian community. One of my regular visitors, FishHead, does not have access to the net at home (cue violins) and so he doesn’t always get a regular chance to visit this blog and criticise me. Sometimes weeks go by without the Fish getting a chance to use the net (sympathetic oooh). I am always looking out for chances to give all members of our society an equ
I had this letter published prior to Gulf War 2: ‘I am as concerned as the next person about the prospect of Saddam Hussein having access to nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, I’m just as worried about the prospect of George W. Bush having access to nuclear weapons.’ I just don’t trust such dangerous weapons in the hands of such a trigger-happy idiot. D
I think it was Draginol who was saying that although Kerry had won the debates, that he finds the Republican arguments more convincing. Fair enough, but what I don’t understand about the Republicans at the moment is, why on Earth would they choose such an idiot for their leadership? There are smarter people in the Republican party. There are more likeable people in th
>Wrong answer. check the pertinent section of his post below. Well I was going to just sit back and watch you miss the point and continue to laugh at the fact that you are even more uninformed than I, until you told me what the pertinent point I was intending to make. I'm afraid drmiler that TBone understands me a lot better, even if the truth lies somewhere between the two of you. >Nor was it ever used as a prima
I note however that your list also simply exaggerates and distorts what the left have said about the US etc. so that they sound anti-american.Sometimes I wonder what's the point in debating: neither side seems to be bothered listening to each other, they just look to score points. But then, scoring points is so much fun isn't it!
One of the funniest remarks made by FishHead was: “man, that attack was directed at us. We have to make it clear we aren't intimidated" It’s not just the way FishHead always talks about foreign relations with the preface of “man” or "dude". Or the image of Alexander Downer being on Lateline and saying in that snobby voice of his “Dude, we can’t let terroris
One of the funniest things about writing articles like this one is watching the right wingers get their knickers in a twist over the silliest little things and completely missing the point of the article, as though their little nit picks somehow justifies what successive US Presidents have done. And then they pretend they know their stuff so much better than me, when even George Dubya woul
>Kerry saying he was pro-life personally but pro-choice politically. Talk about wanting to have it both ways. You either thing a fetus is a >human being and hence abortion is a murder or you don't. I wasn’t aware Kerry felt this way, but I would applaud him for coming out and saying it. No, you do not have to think a foetus is a life or not. There are grey areas in many philosophical questions. Australia has a Catholic Conservative
A very humorous article. And all good comedy has a healthy dose of truth in it.
>And slitting the sheep's throat is required to prepare kosher meat for Jewish and Muslim consumption. It's not the most humane way >to slaughter an animal, but it's better than what harvesters do to chickens. I wasn't aware this was a thing to do with kosher ness, yet for me the cruelty is a higher priority. In Vietnam, they cut bears' paws off because it is a cultural belief that this brings luck. Nevertheless, efforts are being made (and no
Agent Orange in Vietnam. The unprovoked invasion of Iraq. The abuse of political prisoners. Dear US Presidents of the future, the Geneva conventions were not intended as guidelines. They are the combined wisdom of a generation who, unlike you, lived with war. You only ever have to observe from afar. Those wise men now roll in their graves.<!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-Start -
I agree mate. I love looking at eye candy, I even enjoy tasting a little eye candy, but I don't have respect for women who are just so desparete for men's attention that they giggle and flout about their bodies. Give me a purple collared shirt wearing chick any day. Substance is much preferable to sickeningly boring chicks.
Excellent blog mate.
Yes, we poor poor straight white males. Boy I have it so tough. and to make things worse, I'm middle class! Woe is me. Whinge.
Oh you cynic you. I see nothing wrong either with the kid who came to school on Friday with a 1.25 litre bottle of Pasito to drink that day. Passionfruit, it's fruit, it's nutritious!
My condolences
I don’t know if it fools anybody, but simply saying that someone you disagree with is “an extremist group” doesn’t convince me. And even if it did it wouldn’t mean that everything else that group says is therefore wrong. I was pleasantly shocked to see Lateline on Friday running an animal welfare story as top story of the day. An animal welfare group who had
Well Muggaz, we've disagrred on several occasions, but I think all the fuss over you is silly when one considers that we have a member of the KKK in the Top 10. I think you should just not care about them and use a new name, but hey. Set up a blog at LiveJournal instead and drop a line on my blog to give me the address. Oh Muggaz, we've laughed, we've cried, oh whatever.
Good luck. The rest of the world, Australia included need your Democrats to win.
