'Call me crazy ... ' You're crazy.
I sometimes think that we've morphed the definition of poor into unrealistic heights. That's pretty rich (sic) coming from somebody in your financial position, Draginol. It all sounds thoroughly heartless to me. If the corollary of this 'American dream' you espouse is a large underclass about whom the
The proof is in the pudding No it isn't, stevendedalus. Call me a pedant if you like, but the proof of the pudding is in the EATING.
I read that Stephen Hawking, the renowned theoretical physicist, used to be a devout atheist...in recent years, however, he has recanted his atheism and is now a devout catholic. He says that the deeper into creation and the nature of the universe he gets, the more he believes in "Intelligent Design".....a Divine Creator. He feel
On a (slightly) more serious note, let's not forget that FishHead is the person who said the following (again on your blog, Champas) in respect of the 'Children Overboard' issue - 'My issue with whole situation is that peopel are caring so much.' So FishHead, the government lies blatantly to the Australian people in the interests of securing an election victory, and you suggest that those who are unhappy with this care too much. Now, somebody
Dear Champas, First of all, please stop giving hints as to how other bloggers can insult me - recent evidence suggests they are quite capable of doing this without any help from you! Secondly, how can you even even SUGGEST that I would attempt to appropriate your blog for my own subversive purposes? Thirdly, vote Communist * vote Communist * vote Communist * vote Communist * vote Communist * vote Communist * vote Communist *
According to MediaWatch, for several weeks prior to John Anderson's appropriation of it, the term 'Watermelons' was used by John Laws on his cash for comment soapbox - er, I mean radio show. You'd have hoped that Anderson would have been smart enough to come up with his OWN witty epithet, rather than indugling in such an obvious rip-off, but obviously not. What would Lawsy say? 'When you find something good - steal it.' I am reminded
I can't remember where this came from, but in my experience it is a foolproof litmus test of political integrity: Q. How can you tell when a politician is lying? A. His lips are moving.
Everyone has a moral conscience about a living wage, but not a common sense viewpoint. Helix, the problem here is that not all people share the same perception of what 'common sense' is. One person's common sense may be based on economic theory, another's on a perceived moral high ground. It would be nice if
Little Whip, you crack me up. First you say this: it's hard for me not to uhmm, be mean to you And then you have a go at Muggaz for doing the RIGHT thing (above), because he hasn't always done it elsewhere! We all know you have a long-term problem with him but let it go, LW, let it go ... Actual
I am educateing my children NOT too be damed by devious religions such as ISLAM or any other religion that follows evil teachings or prays too a False God(idol) i am protecting my children and educateing them So who determines what is damning, devious (do you mean deviant?), false or evil, and what is not? Of course you want to protect your children fro
You're quite right, ShoZan - I misread you and I apologise. As you can see, I amended my post when I realised my mistake. Incidentally, can you tell what your sign-on name DOES refer to without threatening your anonymity? Just curious.
So, since your name has furry in it, that means you're inviting people to insinuate that you're attracted to cartoon pornography of anthropomorphic animals? Messy Buu, I can't help but notice that you have chosen to ignore the fact that Champas did actually challenge FishHead's argument. As for you
Good to see you missed the point entirely F---Head I resent the F---head remark. It shows little brain power to revert to attacking the person not the argument. 'F---head' =
I still found it strange that the CM ran a huge profile on the one Aussie girl injured on their front page, while simply mentioning (that is reporting) that Indonesians were killed too. Couldn't agree more, Champas. Sad to say, this is a common fault of the press - and not just in Australia, but overseas too
Despite being a relatively short post, you managed to get a lot of emotive language in there, s13ar4: 'my dislikes/and/hates', 'I would truely kill a child perv ...', 'I hate ...', 'I hate anyone that would follow ...', 'I truely hate any sick twisted person ...', 'Heartless people should be condemed to hell ...'. Do you have any religious allegiance, s13ar4? (Presumably you do if you subscribe to the concept of 'hell'.) If so, how do you r
all of islam is evil and all people that follow the Quran/Koran are evil Hmm. How do you work that out?
I guess the debate here is over. No, I suspect the debate will survive a wee "joke".
This is not intended as an indictment of YOUR contributions Muggaz, but these musings reminds me of a comment I read not so long ago from an American professor of literature (sorry, I can't remember his name): 'There is a school of thought that argues if you had an infinite number of monkeys, each sitting in front of a typewriter, eventually one of them would produce the complete works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the internet, we know thi
If the second quote is true "landen81" CBS has done "more" damage to John Kerry than to GW Bush! And the swift boat vets have "yet" to be proven as liars.GW is no more evil than Sen. Kerry. And "please" don't call my commander-in-chief a "coward"! I'm casting my vote for whoever imposes a tax on inappropriat
So where did your previous article go? I was just adding a comment of support and it disappeared!
I mean, the characters that an actor chooses to play says something about that actor I like this theory! It makes particular sense to me in respect of Bruce Willis. I read an interview with him in 'The Big Issue' (to those who don't know, a magazine sold by and for homeless people) in which he chose
'Cleave' is splendid - dare I say it, it's a cracker. There are actually two quite separate derivations - the former meaning via Old English 'cleofan', and the latter via Old English 'clifian'. So in a sense it's two distinct words that just happen to be spelled and pronounced identically at this point in the development of the language. What about others? 'United' is NEARLY a contronym, but only if you mistype it 'untied'. <img src="../imag
Trina_p, I quite agree - although for people to take exception to the title of the article without reading it would tell all anybody needed to know about them. There is a HUGE difference between being Osama Bin Laden's 'greatest fan' on the one hand, and holding Islam solely responsible for all America's woes on the other. Neither strikes me as the slightest bit constructive. What 'answers' may exist lie - surely - somewhere between these ex
I have no problem with your article, Dionicman, apart from 'Michael Jackson is probably just about THE MOST IMPORTANT artist of the last century.' Successful - arguably, but IMPORTANT? What about - just off the top of my head - Robert Johnson, Pablo Picasso, Miles Davis, D. H. Lawrence, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Sex Pistols ...
