MRAA (ie MRAV) bashing

What was it that that nice Mr Nelson was saying about literacy and
teachers?

Unless you are suggesting that he is fishing, the expression you are
after is "toeing the line".

er... there's not a lot of logic there to see. AFAIK Boxer is not bound
by rules about cabinet solidarity. Even if he were a back bencher he
would be able to criticise policy if he wanted to.

(Did you say somewhere you had studied politics?)

always take mischievous[1] as a given with Hamish...

But you dismiss him at your peril.

[1] There's that literacy thing again, the fact that "mischievious" is a
common misconstruction in place of "mischievous" doesn't make it correct
or acceptable.

 

I don't. Wayne Gardner has one (he was the first, AFAICT), Mick Doohan has
two, my old mate Tony Cadet-James has one. For the record, other awardees
related to motorcycling were Geoff Ballard, Marion Burrow, Frank Hack, Bill
Street, Ralph Freeman, Claude Robertson, and Alan Wallis.

Agreed. The next step will be to make all Muslims carry identification. How
does a yellow Crescent sewn to their shirts sound? Then we will similarly
mark all their places of business. Just so we know which windows to break.
Will these new preventive detention centres have a sign over the gate "Work
Makes You Free"?

And so it continues.

Hes delibately spreding mispeling!

Consider yourslef "'TOLD"'.

Maybe he is not quite as esteemed by the community as you or he thinks.

Theo

 

Hells bells! I always thought that was an ASIO exercise.

Theo

 

I thank you for you honest views.

Even then, that's no guarantee.

A good friend of mine who's being doing police work for the past 25
years has a few stories to tell. Once, a druggie was out of control at a
domestic. Cops roll up. 3 of them wrestle with him to get him into the
back of the van. He was so hyped up, that he totally ignored any pain
receptors' inputs.

He had his arms and legs outstretched across the door of the van. My
mate whomped him with his baton between the legs. All it did was to make
the druggie scream louder. Never flinched. A couple of those eventually
worked. No guns needed for that event, thankfully.

In another, again, domestic, public housing estate, etc (no that I'm
doing any social profiling, mind you..) a druggy came at him with an
axe. He shot him. Missed. Got him in the leg. Fellow still came
swinging, blood pouring out everywhere. A clout to the back of the head
from another copper soon dropped him, but it took some effort.

Both him and another friend of mine have been shot at, with the latter
in hospital for 6 months when the bullet passed through him and his
partner (yeah, another domestic in another public housing estate). So,
it's not hard to understand why these guys do what they do.

I won't mention the town. I think that it's had enough negative
publicity over the past few years, and ridicule on shows such as The
Footy Show...

 

I'd agree. The system as it stands militates against competence and
encourages beige people with little in the way of positive values or
beliefs, just those who are good with favours.

We need a draft. _Real_ national service - serve your country in parliament.

Attack winds down when cruise ship opens the throttle and outruns 12-foot
launches.

Theo

 

Yeah I'll second that.

JL

 

just for the record.. how will we recognise 'the end'?

I am not bound by a party code not to publicly criticise my colleagues, I an
bound by a personal code. As a member of a team I chose to criticise my
fellow team members in the confines of the party room and in person, and
have done so on many occasions. Should I strongly disagree with policy that
I am unable to change from within I chose to remain publicly silent (with
the possible excepting of that bloody GST).

Yep. Trust me, I'm a doctor, or I'm from the government, etc...

Nope. He's with them...

 

Mmmm... your ballot paper must have looked like a photocopy of mine then.

Theo

 

<grin> BULLSEYE ! A kewpie doll for the elderly gentleman if you please.

JL

 

Shit John, just how young are you. I voted against Menzies.

Theo

 

So does the copper who got blown up and the guy who did the documentary
on it... it ain't proof but it sure is persuasive.

JL

 

They must have fed the WMD's into it and then used it on itself to distroy
the evidence. Damn clever that Saddam.

Boxer

 

The republicans.
