  1. The "people" who make out there are many of these "rich" destitute are the ones to avoid. Demonise the poor and you don't have to do anything for them as they DESERVE their condition. RICH people are worthy and the  poor do it deliberately. That's been Sco Mo and Hockeys mantra since day one of the LieNP reign. Daily living allowance for MPs is $240 a day.. Go on a Polly pedal and that's what you get. Nev

  2. Remember if Murdoch likes what is happening you aren't going to read much balance on the matter in HIS Papers. The first 5 pages of the Terrorgraph were on it , the other day, bagging  Zuckerberg.. The Coalition have made 2 donations direct to Murdoch totalling about $80 mill lately and a case for $880 million of tax  due was not proceeded with by the ATO and that money was given back  to News Corpse. The IPA want  to sell or give  the ABC  to him as well as close SBS..The IPA virtually dictate Liberal Party policy.. That Murdoch is in financial strife is common knowledge. Nev

  3. I really can't understand  what the point would be of having sex with a non compus woman. It takes two to tango.  They are transferring the blame to the victim. Every word they utter shows they really don't "get it".. (in my view). It's a mans world of entitlement up there and it's not a one off, either. With an Election imminent she has to take it for the TEAM. That was the situation. Nev

  4. OME that quote I take to mean that we are all sinners.  Let He  who is without sin, cast the first stone.  results in no one doing it. In a similar vein first remove the  mote from your own eye before you look at others. It's obviously a go at hypocrisy. Probably appropriate then just as it is now. Judge not lest ye too be judged.  God stuff even for atheists . Those with no invisible means of support. Nev

  5. Religions discriminate against OTHER religions as well. I've experienced it personally and it's set me back massively. I didn't realise it at the time. I was too trusting.

     . Having a god doesn't make you virtuous. You might exhibit self righteous behaviour. (Christ doesn't like that. )  IF you have the secret of the afterlife that should be a sufficient reward. Making life HELL for a non believer is not my idea of the right thing or something you are even remotely entitled to do.  The majority of religions are Patriarchal. God is a MAN. Women cover their heads and obey their husbands. Not a bad set up if you can get it and you are a man.

     IF you are atheistic you are free of these left over remnants of a belief system from a bygone age where they killed scientists and burned witches in the absence of knowledge that most take for granted now.  There still those who believe the earth is flat and is the centre of the universe.

  6. At the time that deal was all the go. No problems with the Feds. What YOU think depends on what you get to read. Victorians get a chance to see first hand what he does not what his enemies make out he does. It's common knowledge the Federals starting with Turnbull have tried hard to get him out.  Nev. 

  7. I mentioned to   an overenthusiastic Vic Copper after he had pulled me over in Moonee Ponds examining all the Mother in Laws  garden cuttings I had in the back of my Transit Van. at great depth, that HE had been watching too many episodes of Softly Softly. My sense of humour was obviously more developed than HIS. .  My sense of self preservation needed some attention though.  My HONEST face didn't work either. Nev

  8. Working for something is more ethical than stealing it from the others. It's not a bad fault to have. A fair days pay for a fair days work   wouldn't go astray as a base concept. It's not fair to compare the Aborigines motivations. They don't have our concept of INDIVIDUAL ownership. That's how they survive in marginal conditions by not doing damage to their shared resources.(The Environment) WE can't live without it either but haven't adjusted yet. 

      Calvanists were Protestants, a competitor  for the Roman Catholic Church  which was a state and had it's own army..  Still has a special seat at the UN. I believe. Nev

  9. Trump took the "usual " oath of office and ignored it. There's plenty of other ways he may face prosecution. Mitch is trying to have a two way bet which won't work. The GOP Republicans have dealt themselves a cancer of the heart and soul of their party. Trump couldn't give a stuff about the fate of the Republican party. He USES people and any "thing" which helps HIM till there's no more left then he ditches them. Eventually HE will run out of people who will fall for it. There's already a formidable army of ditched helpers who know a lot that can damage him, and why would  they not LOVE a chance to even the score? At present that entails some risk of retribution by his rusted on adherents but they don't like a LOSER as Trump will increasing appear to be.   Nev.

  10.  One thing there's been plenty of for us to develop and evolve is TIME. Everything alive on earth is STILL evolving. I used to be about as religious as anybody gets. Eventually I had to choose whether I could think  or just believe. There's a $#1t load of guilt in most religions but particularly Christianity which sprung up just yesterday  really. Islam a bit later.. Religion causes a lot of pain out there and has many things to answer for. Atheism is not another religion. It's the antithesis of all that stuff. I can be killed for being an atheist in many parts of the world. I don't have to have done anything.. Is THAT OK?  I don't want to KILL anyone.  The right to believe "anything" is dangerous if responsibility and respect of individuals rights and human life isn't part of it.. Nev

  11. Corey Bernardi tried that stunt  here. Now he's completely GONE. Of course Australia is a completely different place. (so far).  It's not fair to compare Corey with Trump. Trump is a weirdo of a very special kind. Unique I hope for the sake of the World. Unfortunately he's set a very rotten example and gotten  away with it. Copy cats will do what they do best.  Copy.
