MRAA (ie MRAV) bashing

And so it begins.

It's the doctors, I tell ya. Twice as many people die from medical
'misadventures' than from road carnage.

It's time we had a doctor buy-back scheme.

Misdirection Nev?

That is beneath you.

Boxer

 

They are in court now Nev.

Although one was shot after opening fire on Police.

Happy now?

Boxer

 

So a fast food restaurant is as criminal as a Terrorist Bomber?

A bit of a stretch their John.

Or is a little anti-Americanism creeping through.

Boxer

 

So stop worrying Nev.

The nine arrested in Melbourne in this story?

'Police had seized no materials that indicated the nine were about to
launch a terrorist strike, Mr Stary said.

It appears to be the case that there's nothing ... of a sinister nature
that was located within those premises no weapons, no chemicals, no
other instruments or any articles that might be used for that purpose."'

hmmm... 'cause the police have never got things like that wrong before,
right?

No, but thats not his argument.

The threat to Australia society from fast food restaurants is arguably
_far_ greater than the threat of terrorism.

Passing sweeping laws that give police abusable authority without
appropriate responsibility just because someone _claims_ terrorists are
attacking our way of life is silly.

It was the Sydney raid that had the Bomb making materials (reported on
Brisbane Radio).

Boxer

 

Probably worse... the terrorist is following some belief or ideology..
the fast food chain is just seeking profits.

Absolute nonsense, you can chose not to eat in a MacDonald's, can you chose
not to get blown up in a terrorist bomb?

Boxer

 

....so why the need for the government to legalise shoot to kill and
imprisonment without charge?

was it a motorcycle cop?

Now that's a different question, I didn't make any judgement or comment
about criminality, I was talking about real threats that kill people
today, and the relative mortality rates - more Australians died of
abusing McDonalds last month than have ever died from terrorists*

I was being a little tongue in cheek, seems humour has disappeared in
this thread. Did it need a smiley then ?

Anti-crap food yes, anti American, no. I've got nothing against
Yankistanis, some of the facets of their culture suck though.

JL
*yes I just made up that statistic, but I bet it's pretty close

 

So those powers weren't needed to manage this threat then ?

JL

 

Well, after they've been tried and found guilty of something* then I'll
be convinced, it's not like this govt. has never engineered a stunt for
publicity value before.

JL
*other than thinking, and saying, JWH is a cock

 

Riga - pop 867,700 in the metro ar.....oh sorry, you were asking Paulh


Beer mate?

SO if you want to be silly about it, substitute 'eat in a McDonalds'
with 'be involved in a car accident'. The same principle applies
(and yes, you can avoid a terrorist bomb by staying at home all
the time, too).
