In The News

Thanks @inigo & [MENTION=29005]Alias[/MENTION].

Find it really difficult to comprehend how you can hit so hard, and why would you be so angry.
And it always seems to be a decent kid who dies.

I have trained my teen to run, any sign of trouble, drunks, drugged, whatever - run.
 
Aussie of the Year - Adam Goodes, just now giving his speech and talking about fighting racism, hear, hear, and well done & congratulations.

>> Well done Adam….a well deserved award.

I've lived in Oz since 1970 and I've never heard of him.

Prolly coz I've got no time for "footy" and to this day still don't even know how many people are on a team, for example.

Oh well, I guess that means that, after all this time and despite having a bit of paper declaring me to be a citizen of "Oz" and all my years of paying taxes to Oz, I'm no "Australian".

Dunno if that is a good thing or a bad thing mind you ...

Like, what does it mean to be "Australian" (let alone "Australian of the Year") these days, anyway ?

Like++, who would want to be counted to be in the same company of the "Ozzie for the year" for the year of 2007, for example, anyway ?

(as per result presented here: http://www.australianoftheyear.org.au/honour-roll/?view=landing&year=2007)

Certainly not I.

Anyhoo, congratulations Adam, whoever you are. I suspect you prolly deserve the award/recognition far more than the 2007 recipient.

You have realised some of your shortcomings - that has been a long time coming.

And thanks for confirming how limited your world is, clearly you never read legitimate press and look what happens if you spend your life searching for non exist conspiracies and signs of a born again cult.
Your lost in some weird place.

I detest AFL, I know who Adam Goodes is because he transcends his sport.

He's just as much a hero to the totalitarian right wing. Right wing leaders like Obama and Abbott just wish they had the control over the society that Gaddafi had. The secret police and files on people, locking people up with out trials. Thought police. Moral police. Everything very controlled and you're fine unless you step out of line.



Anyway I wouldn't trust that sex dungeon story at all. The interesting thing is, why is this coming out and being published now? I think it purely reflects the agenda of those struggling in Libya. Obama destroyed that country. You never hear much about it any more. They had a civil war, Obama and others come in, arm the rebels, oh look, great a victory. Now the country is in absolute mess. Well at least the west secured those oil contracts that were in the hands of the Chinese. The country has been destroyed for decades to come now as a result. Yes Gaddafi and his bullshit is now gone, but it was replaced with chaos which isn't better for the average person.

So anti-gaddafi propaganda coming out now, is just a distraction from the current state of the country. To excuse the horrible mess that is there. Yes things are shit, but Gaddafi had a sex dungeon so it's ok the country is fucked up.

This like the rest of this Arab sping bullshit. Why do people on the west feel that there's some weird balance in nature and everything comes out and settles in democracy. Like a self organizing system. Clearly doesn't work, however this underlied their whole approach to the middle east and it hasn't worked at all. What is even more crazy, after going into Iraq and fucking it up and not having it work. They decided, next time to just blow the country up from afar and hope it worked. Clearly didn't. Now with Syria, that civil war would be over if it wasn't for the US and Saudi Arabia injecting arms and intel to the rebels. Extended the conflict, not that's all protracted. Way more death and destruction and the free syrian armies are now co-opted by religious extremists wanting to fight to set up an islamic state.

Since writing my first message I've come to learn that this years joke of the year basically seems to be an attention seeking victim mentality "the world owes me, waa, waa, waa" oaf who stopped a game that people paid to see so that he could publicly bully a 13 yo girl who apparently had naively been taking her cues from Eddy somebodyofother (the guy who does "who wants to be a millionare").

That his bullying and victim mentality caused a 13 yo girl to be dragged out of her seat and "questioned" without cause for hours by police without her guardians present.

So, with that in mind, afaic, I don't see any point in continuing the tradition of "Australian of the Year" for it would seem that this years choice is in fact nearly as bad as the one made for 2007.

What is more, I can't help but find myself agreeing with the sentiment of the following comment found here: http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/a_nation_of_tribes/P40/

Meh. As we drift further and further away from “ask not what your country can do for you ...” and closer and closer to both “idocracy” and tyranny, I for one am getting more inclined to simply withdraw from so called “society” and deem myself truly to be a stranger in a strange land and simply try and live out my days as peacefully and comfortably as I can in the midst of all the folly and madness.

With what the Left have managed to do to our society and education systems I’m starting to think that it is virtually a form child abuse to bring new children into this world.

Who needs the stress, worry, and heartache ?

Meh to all the social engineering, TV selling garbage, newspapers selling fear, cities breeding unimaginative slack jawed dependence, professional sports, and the “recognition” of people being determined by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.

Hello instead to physically exploring the wonders and beauty of the world, nature, and life.

May as well pass one’s time with that while waiting for one’s turn to give up the breath of life and disembark from the “ship of fools” so many of the nations of humankind have become.

Deem “May we live long and freely ... and gracefully die out” included.

Oh well. Oz had to much potential. Perhaps the next people to come and take this continent over (should be much easier to achieve now what with the state our allies are in and how untrained, dis-armed, and generally pathetic we have become) it will do a better job.

Whoever they are, I doubt if they are going to give a crap about so called "first peoples".

Deem "to the victors go the spoils", included.

Anyhoo, I don't think I'm going to bother with Oz day any more for it appears to me that Oz has become a foul smelling obese comatose brain-dead invalid kept alive by unnatural and unreasonably expensive means ... and hardly something to celebrate.

Wow you need to up the meds, you sound like your living in an Edgar Allan Poe novel, when you should be a happy chappy since your lot of dickheads got the power.
Proving embarrassing though aren't they, bumbling about foot in mouth.

Anyway here - do this if your pissed off

http://www.marchinmarchaustralia.org/





A peaceful, non-partisan citizens’ march and rally at Federal Parliament to protest against the current government’s policy decisions that are against the common good of our nation. This signifies the people’s vote of no confidence in policies of the government that go against common principles of humanity, decency, fairness social justice and equity, democratic governance, responsible global citizenship and conserving our natural heritage.

If they are not protesting the creation of an apartheid Oz where different laws are applied based upon the most tenuous and insignificant ethnic origins then this "stranger in a strange land" reckons the so called "citizens" are far more likely to be part of the problem rather than the solution.

oh, and "non partisan" ?

bwahahahahahahaha !

oh++ "common principles of humanity, decency, fairness social justice and equity, democratic governance, responsible global citizenship and conserving our natural heritage", if any of that ain't actually what our Creator has provided as the benchmark and measure then you and the so called "non partisan citizens" are really NOT going to enjoy the return of Yeshua and the kind of government He shall bring.

The last time the world got so out of control He wiped the place clean with a global flood. The next (long fortold) time He'll do the reboot/reset using fire.

Anyhoo, you help speeding the arrival of that day your way (ie, by waving a flag in a march if that's what turns you on) and I'll continue my way. :D

from here: http://joannenova.com.au/2014/02/7b...educe-co2-by-0-3-and-cool-us-by-zero-degrees/

$7b paid in carbon tax to reduce CO2 by 0.3% and cool us by zero degrees

This news was so boringly predictable I almost didn’t post it, but numbers like this of actual outcomes of visionary Big-Government Experiments are hard to come by.

Seven billion dollars works out to $350 per person, and $1,350 per household of four, for one year. If Bill Shorten (leader of the opposition) had to knock on doors to collect this tax, there would be a riot in the street tomorrow.

The Australian reports that the $1,350 from your house for the year to Sept 2013, produced an emissions fall from 543.9 million tons all the way down to 542.1 .

National greenhouse accounts to be released today show carbon emissions fell just 0.3 per cent in the year to September 2013. This was despite the carbon tax raising $7 billion over the period.

But I hear some cry that it did help reduce emission from electricity:

The Department of Environment figures, obtained by The Australian, show electricity emissions fell 5.5 per cent or about 11 million tonnes in the year to September.

However virtually none of the 11 million tonnes “saved” had much to do with the carbon tax. About 5 million tons was due to reduced economic activity (arguably, thanks to the effect the Australian Labor Party had on the GDP, perhaps the most effective form of carbon reduction they “arranged”). The rest of the reduction in emissions from electricity came from extra production from the Snowy Mountain Hydro Scheme, and less production at the Yallourn Coal Plant in Victoria thanks to industrial action and flooding.

In any case, while electricity produced less CO2, the rest of the economy, mostly did not:

The Environment Department said the lower electricity emissions were driven by lower demand and changes in the generation mix. The figures show that overall emissions of greenhouse gas are largely unchanged since 2010. While emissions from electricity generation fell, emissions from stationary energy such as on-site power generation from industrial plants rose 1.7 per cent, emissions from transport rose 2 per cent and so-called fugitive emissions from mining activities rose 8.3 per cent.

Australia has one of the most aggressive carbon reduction schemes in the world. If it achieved anything at all, it was an accident. Sucking $7billion out of the economy may have helped reduced CO2, not through people using “clean” energy, but because it lowered Australia’s GDP. Businesses gave up trying to produce useful things, and spent more time filling in bits of paper.
