    The Empress Yabby* – on her grand tour – was accidentally exposed to a real person, Splat.

  18. Geez people….wait for the video to load up, and watch it through to the end. You get treated to a casual passerby telling the Pm what she thinks of her in no uncertain terms. Well, actually, they are uncertain because of all the beeps taking out the adjectives.

    Julia Gillard will never walk the streets of Australia unattended ever again. I don’t think she’s got the reflexes of John Hewson to catch a thrown egg, either.

  43. Your source is polemic – it’s not evidence, and the jury is out on the research.

    Although micro level effects of gender equality on individual productivity and human development outcomes have been well documented and have important ramifications for aggregate economic performance, establishing an empirical relationship between gender equality and poverty reduction and growth at the macro level has proven to be more challenging.

    No potato was peeled at Nui Dat. Spuds would have swiftly turned to mush, had they been stored in that climate.
    As for being left behind – I had one L.O.B. for one week in our first three ops, the second one which lasted for nine weeks. How much time did you get up in operational service, dickhead?

    That statement simply doesn’t make sense.
    Individuals who set themselves up as economists, and presume to lecture the great unwashed on how they should live their lives, whilst at the same time calling themselves Libertarians, are probably the best examples of arrogance, self delusion and hypocrisy going down.
    Economics is not, and never has been a science.
    It has the same relationship to science as psychiatry has to medicine, although psychiatrists generally take themselves less seriously.

  56. No sorry numbers Sinclair is correct. When there is no surplus everyone has to work bbut when there is a surplus a certain portion of the population can do the nuturing duties.

    As an economy becomes more advanced however and labour saving devices more affordable the nurturers (women) can look to greener pastures.

  67. Numbers, the evidence you expect Sinc. to come up with is pretty easy – it’s called pre-European Aboriginal society. They lived as nomadic, tribal groups at the subsistence level and this also demonstrates that the natural state of human existence is abject poverty.

Many people on this site – men and women – have also served but none of them trade on their service history every time they comment and none of them use it as a means for argument.

    I will not be insulted by the likes of you and the other dimwits who abuse me on the basis of my service, and will defend it every time, as much for the members of my unit who didn’t come back as for myself.

    I used the word in the first example Spud. It is you that has the perverse interpretation.

  103. It’s almost Freudian

    Yes, patio boy, your obsession with typos certainly is.

    Did you have a particularly violent, demented teacher in your yoof?

    Your entire pointless existence seems to be one big fat stupid mass of obsessions with your ingloriuous past.

    I pity you, spudpeeler.

    Have you ever considered euthanasia?

  104. Numbers ignore the noisy parrots.
    Splat? Hey have you seen a war? (anser the question) Post your numbers here
    How about you Rabz?
    You have both taken a dislike to numbers that I think is over the top and I think you are both young brash idiots. Neither of you have seen a war so get some respect and drop the smart aggro kid tactics.

    You’re right – they’re best ignored.
    Planned ignoring works with attention-seeking behaviour.

  106. one big fat stupid mass of obsessions with your ingloriuous (sic) past.

    Any obsession with my past (glorious or ingloriuous (sic)) is a problem for Rabz, Gab, Will, Splatacrobat etc.
    They can’t abide the notion that a Vietnam veteran might presume to disagree with them. My service is always brought up by one or more of these princesses, and when I defend myself they get an attack of the vapours.
    Predictable, sometimes amusing, but most often boring…

  107. Actually numbers it is boring.

    I am still waiting for Gab’s hoard of ex servicemen she alluded to, who frequent this blog, to post their numbers here.

    No. Always boring.

    You spent 10 months in Vietnam. Well done. The rest of your life has been an unmitaged failure. You are a disgrace.

    Actually numbers, we can’t abide by the notion that someone who spent only ten months of their life doing something worthwhile – even if they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do it – can expect everyone to respect them when they have spent the rest of the 710 months of their lives being pathetic whingers.

  114. Rabz – reminds me of the character in “Father Ted”.
    Remember Father Jack?
    Stands in the corner and shouts “fuck!” every minute or two…..in between lapses into a catatonic state.
    There’s one in every crowd.

    9 Mar 13 at 9:21 pm

  115. Jupes – you are pathetic too. God you miserly lot of whingers. Numbers doesnt agree with you and or you dont agree with numbers so all you little coots go diving into the “you only spent 10 months” in service in Vietnam.

    Listen you little bastards. I bet its longer than any of you have seen a war and you (Jupes, Splat, Rabz, and Gab and god knows who else wants to follow this disgusting line of reasoning)

    Need to get some dam respect. Who are you – young idiots who have been lcuky enough not to have been conscripted and not to have ever seen a war.

    Really – I will tell you this. Your insults to numbers are just plain ugly. The ugly Australian is not an invention.

  121. I call bullshit, hypocrisy and bigotry when I see it.

    You’re a “me me me” self aggrandizing, self obsessed, gutless, whining, commie traitor suffering from numerous sexually transmitted brain damaging diseases, FFS.

    I’m surprised your family haven’t brought your utterly pointless existence on this planet to a long overdue end.

    But, hey, do keep the incessant bleating up – hopefully you’ll suffer a long overdue massive fatal coronary any minute now and they can call in the crane to evacuate your festering whale like carcass.

    You fucking moron.

    Just get the fuck out of the way.

  125. @Rabz
    Anyone with that amount of hate and bitterness simmering needs help. Try “Beyond Blue” – I’m told they’re down to earth and supportive.
    You also need help with your obsession with STDs. Projection perhaps?

    Euthanasia, squire – c’mon, tell your poor, long suffering family all about it.

    They’ll know it makes sense.

  127. Malice, I have served in the military forces. I have never been in a war or served overseas as there were no overseas conflicts during my time of service. I would expect my service as unremarkable as it was was no more or no less important than numbers with the one exception; I don’t go banging on about it at every opportunity and use it to support any one of my arguements.

    Yes Vietnam was a shitty war and poor numbers didn’t want to go, I understand this and do not attack these things. It’s his insistance of wearing his service number as some sort of badge that defines his whole existence that causes him to be ridiculed. Numbers and you are peas in a pod with your tax eating public service socialist ideologies.

    I do have a service number Malice but that was over 30 years ago and I have moved on. I could change my name from splatacrobat to my tax file number as that one defines who I am now and how this profligate government has damaged me more than you or spud will ever know.

    Splatacrobat

    9 Mar 13 at 9:56 pm

  128. Thanks, Splat – you’ve made some salient points.

    As hinted at above, there are very sound reasons why I loathe the spudpeeler and his ilk.

    That he has no idea is hardly a surprise.

    And sorry, Aliice – you’ve been collateral damage.

  129. “Check the nominal roll – then apologise – if you have the guts”

    Oh for cripes sake – for what? What special standing do you believe that affords you? You were paid weren’t you? … for a job you’ve milked interminably since, notwithstanding by your own admission you detested.

    Patio boy proudly displays his deep hypocrisy medal yet again.

    “I will not be insulted by the likes of you and the other dimwits who abuse me on the basis of my service, and will defend it every time, as much for the members of my unit who didn’t come back as for myself.”

    Apart from invoking a line from the dissolute lying tart herself you then demonstrate just how appallingly low you will stoop to justify your bitter snarling hatred of your country.

    You are a disgrace, a deceitful fellow, but do please stick around to further feed that miserable persona with the richly deserved insults you invite.

  131. Rabz – what is wrong with you?

    Most likely diagnosis is Tourette’s.
    There’s also a possibility that he pissed most of the time, like this bloke.

    1735099

    10 Mar 13 at 8:11 am

  132. Oh for cripes sake – for what?

    Apart from being a lying wanker – for this –

    given you were left behind with a mountain of spuds to peel, spudhead?

    – a lie.

    And –

    It’s the agent orange that has messed up spuds brain.

    – a fantasy.

    The only “special standing” my service provides is the experience. That experience has taught me a couple of very simple lessons -
    1. The most bellicose when it comes to active service are those who don’t have any.
    2. Libertarians who support Coalition parties suffer from collective amnesia. The only Australian governments who undertook the ultimate in social engineering (conscription in peacetime) were Coalition governments. Nothing gets under the rabid Right wing hide more than reminding them of this simple historical fact. I will continue to do so.
    3. There was a bipartisan approach to Vietnam veterans after the withdrawal. They were sent to Coventry. Neither side of politics should ever be forgiven for this disgraceful betrayal, but Labor, at least was consistent. They opposed conscription and our involvement both before and after. The Coalition demonstrated the ultimate in hypocrisy. They conscripted young Australians to fight, and then dropped them like hot potatoes when it became politically expedient to do so.
    As for the diggers themselves – they were amongst the finest and best trained bunch in Australian military history.
    They were more than the likes of Mick from Baghdad on the Nerang deserved. He should pull his addled head from his arse, where it is quite obviously firmly lodged.

  133. The claim that “economics has the same relationship to science as psychiatry has to medicine” implies that economics is indeed a science – on the grounds that all psychiatrists must be trained medical doctors; psychiatry being a specialist branch of medicine. Don’t think this was the intention of the comment as used earlier on this thread.

    Just saying…

  135. Dan,

    GetUp! shutting down the reactionary press :-)

    The clip of the confident young lady, articulate in her own way, pointing out The Empress has no clothes, is quite damning.

    Imagine our economy with those resources directed towards mutually beneficial trade rather than bureaucratic redistribution.

    The analogy applies in the sense that Psychiatrists use psychotropic medications without fully understanding how they work. Forty years spent working with kids on the Autism spectrum has revealed this to me very clearly.
    Economists pretend they understand cause and effect. How many had enough of a handle on the “science” of economics to predict the GFC?

    So says the fucking dickhead whose web handle is a ‘service’ number.

    You staggeringly stupid, morbidly obese, venereal diseased ol’ knobgobbling coward.

    BTW, you have seriously crossed a line.

    Your entire existence is an abomination, but you are now about to be hounded to your grave.

    You have two options.

    You stay here and cop the ever increasing amounts of shit until your sclerotic, fat laden heart explodes, or:

    You fuck off and you fuck off for good.

    The choice is yours, syphilis spudpeeler – recognising that you’re existing on borrowed time anyway.

    The only revelation would have been that they have far more advanced social skills than you, syphilis.

    Oh, BTW, how long ago was the civil war in that south east asian cesspit, you sad ol’ knobgobbling fairy?

  143. Rabz – definitely Tourette’s ……
    Pretty severe, I reckon.
    His obsession with STDs is unusual, but consistent with the general pattern.
    There’s a little bit of paranoia – altogether a fascinating mix.
