It's not funny, and I'm not drunk.

You're a nut job.

 

No, it's just my vas deferens point of view

 

Silly old fella.

 

Come again?

 

Sure spunky!

 

Hello sailor/seaman

 

ouch

 

Of course it is always wrong to demonize a group based on the actions of a few.









Even if something over 99% of rapes ARE committed by men.
Statistics, hey?

 

Leave a bad taste in your mouth?

 

This is going too far - now you're just milking it

 

It's a reference to something PP posted much earlier, keep up!

 

+ Simply incredible.

 

I think my post has been misread in this case. My intention was for the first line to be read seriously (ie I was agreeing with Ian re the stupidity of the 'rape culture' claim); the second part, deliberately spaced, was a dig at Ian due to his past rants against Muslims as 'all terrorists'. Irony...

 

rants? Moi?

 

tirades would have been a better word

 

yeah sorry, I have an unreasonable objection to people who blow up little girls at pop concerts. Shame on me.

 

Back in Australia, a failed Islamist plot continues to dominate headlines. The Australian, yesterday:

Police are understood to be investigating links between the four men *arrested in Sydney over an alleged plot to bring down a passenger plane and senior Australian Islamic State fighters.

But not everyone is worried about terrorists … Lawyer Julian Burnside on Twitter, yesterday:

It’s the tragedy of our age that gov’ts can still win praise & support by frightening us & then promising protection. (Leading Nazi Hermann) *Goering did the same.

News Corps Australia columnist David Penberthy responds perfectly on Twitter, yesterday:

No he didn’t. Goering was party to the genocide of 6 million Jews whereas we arrested some arseholes who wanted to kill civilians on a plane

 

Julian Burnside is the personification of everything that's rotten about the "progressive" left today.

It's a curious thing: my experience of the legal profession that they are comfortable with charging huge fees and accumulating wealth, yet very much to the left on social issues.

Of course it helps that the taxpayer funds much of their pursuit of vexatious claims against our society. Human Rights lawyers like Burnside being the worst offenders.

 

What's the difference between a lawyer and a catfish?

 

Shall I ask my wife?

 

I wouldn't do your wife's job for all the tea in Chiina

 

She likes it much better than being a lawyer - besides, she gets paid to be judgemental
