Liberty Quote
Whenever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to ensure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery.

I am trying to connect the dots here, CL. So a man’s wife has been treated very poorly and this is justification for proposing to cheat in an international game of cricket?
“Ms Pulford said resistance was futile and urged industry groups to instead contemplate the best approach to implementation.
“That ship has sailed.”
http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2016-10-11/protests-against-electronic-tags-futile-pulford-says/7920914
Their Stalinists hammer at their reforms until they are rammed through, then they move on to the next victory.
Cleaning up and making sure you are not prosecuted for non compliance with the new reform is for the proles to worry about.
What is the “Winx tape”?
I get so freaking confused on this website.
Shot through with teleology.
Once all pedestrians are individually electronically eartagged, the robot cars will be able to pick them out and not run over the compliant ones.
Utter bullshit.
In yarragrad, as nazgul pulford decrees:
“Resistance is futile”
Today the sheep are individually electronically eartagged, tomorrow the proles.
Comrades.
Are we now arguing about discussions from Feb 2017?
I need a drink.
Being on the dole is now a full time job in itself.
Really cuts into your surfing time.
The internet is forever, excepting entropy.
CL, that was ten years ago.
I am talking about the present day, where “WAGs” immediately become celebrities in their own right and relish in it.
FFS why does someone who had a brief career in a B Grade sport which ended ten years ago need a publicist?
She was even publishing shit on Instagram after all this blew up accusing everyone else of being horrid.
No fucking idea.
A number of cricketers gave her what for about how horrid her hubby was.
She’s not the only one, but they are leeches revelling in reflected limelight.

Just relating to Muddy’s post about motion prediction technology.
California seems to be the guinea pigs.
Read Sinc’s guidance notes at the top of the page.
The cut off age for April Fool’s pranks should be 12.
Any adult engaging in them thinking they are cool and “out there” should be taken offshore in a chaff-bag attached to an A-model engine block etc etc etc.
So now Warner has fronted the media, blubbing like a toddler denied another serve of ice cream.
Honestly, they are giving arch-crybaby Justin Trudeau a run for his money.
Yes!
Abs-normal behaviour for tall poppy Greg Norman
Methinks ‘choker’ Norman is the norm and Fitz is the narc trying to chop him down.
I liked CL’s simile – he cried like a 13yo girl whose pony had just been flattened by a Kenworth.
Crime isn’t a normal curve. Prison isn’t a random sample.
Mkay, gloves orff with the chattering class, then.
Who did Turnbull get Trump’s phone number from, Abby Normal?
Now David Hogg is going after John McCain who is currently dying of brain cancer.
I personally can’t stand McCain, but if he stays out of politics, he deserves a quiet and dignified death for his military service, if not much else.
The jumped up little turd Hogg wouldn’t have even known who he was until 5 minutes ago.
Bill Potts is an example of why people despise lawyers.
Sure!
Considering the sanctions and tools of justice in traditional Aboriginal society, this could be great.
Hit someone you aren’t supposed to, get a spear through the thigh, a whack from a nulla-nulla, and left to die under a tree.
What’s wrong Egg?
Whistlecocking?
Totally arse about.
Malignant narcissists chronically seek ‘narcissistic supply’ from others, autists couldn’t care less, ‘personal best’ is likely more apt.
CNN got this one in a day early:
Some of you guys have overdosed on Easter eggs.
Seriously, would people put up with this crap if the Kenyan was doing it.
If US Post is losing money on each parcel delivery, then change the fucking rates, but going after individual companies like this is really bad stuff.
H/T trader’s blog.
This oz piece reckons the Amazon/US Post tie up is profitable.

The Orange one should knock it off and go build the fucking wall.
What I wrote:
Which becomes – for debating purposes …
Justice be damned then. What is this, reverse apartheid? When will it reach the point where aborigines demand that no non-aboriginals enter their remote communities without written consent?
Egg seems angry with autonomous cars being teleological.
Isn’t that $1.50 on each parcel delivery just the average discount associated with the special rate the US Post Office is giving Amazon?
We could get into long debate about fixed and variable costs, average costs and marginal costs.
But it’s not that sort of blog.
The cops tend to hunt Aborigines for fuck all, resulting in most young male Aborigines being in and out of jail.
Rather than pick a fight with the cops, that they would lose, the Qld Government is looking to introduce sanity through the Courts
Another thing not mentioned is the Government reopening long closed prisons due to escalating Custodial Sentences from the Courts.
So the pedalling contributes to powering the aircraft and reducing fuel consumption?
CL, it would seem that Candy is saying precisely that herself.
Headline in the Tele… “It’s all my fault and it is killing me” followed by a teaser paragraph talking about “mistakes when I was young and naive”.
Welcome back Mater.
Going well I hope.
Who isn’t?!
As well as can be expected Leigh. Thanks.
Two of the scarier words in Australian politics: “bipartisan reform”.
Aboriginal recognition (whatever that is) is going to be a disaster for this country.
Steady on.
There are two sides to this one.
There always is.
Stacka was giving multiple examples of April Fools jokes.
I suppose you could be forgiven for thinking this story was real. Maybe next year.
You haven’t missed much here Mater.
The odd fraudulent claim from posters (no names) declaring that they possess a pair of perky tits but, apart from that, business as usual.
Ultimately, I fear it’s autonomous human drivers- the one’ who make up their own rules- who’ll be the end of me.
It’s going to make the NDIS look like chump change in comparison. Time to start work on an exit strategy if you haven’t already.
A bit like watching ‘The Young and the Restless’ then?
In 1/8 slow-motion.
Terrible.
I stayed above the fray and maintained my dignity as per usual.
I’d expect nothing less.
Spare me. Air-conditioner salesman and Cricket Australia spiv, Mark Taylor, hints that sledging may be banned.
What a typically Australian reaction.
We can’t be nasty to brown people and should check our privilege.
No swing for New Zealand today either.
Decolonisation reform for colonialist cricket now.
Comrades.
Next Summer is going to be woke. We will have a rampant and degenerate Indian team making merry, while the Australian team anoint their feet.
That’s because Tubby always thought of his very best sledging replies in the team bus on the way back to the hotel after stumps.
The cops tend to hunt Aborigines for fuck all, resulting in most young male Aborigines being in and out of jail.
Got proof?
Retard
In the game as it is currently played, cricket is merely incidental to sledging.
Got proof?
The media: “Be more like New Zealand!”
Thinks to self: hmmm, I’m pretty sure half their recent side have been on charges of match fixing.
Still talking cricket?
Boooooring.
Can we talk about Sydney-siders going to La Boheme and getting shitloads of culture into them?
CL;
I want their names – here’s an inch square piece of blotting paper and quill/ink set.
Go for it!
Strength in unity socks.
Easy to bait troll socks.
The yarragrad boxing day test match will be a home game for India, and with quarter the Australian side Pakistani by then, who will interpret the sledging from the crowd?.
Fairfax headlines and intros sound like song titles and lyrics.
Now David Hogg is going after John McCain who is currently dying of brain cancer.
I personally can’t stand McCain, but if he stays out of politics, he deserves a quiet and dignified death for his military service, if not much else.
The jumped up little turd Hogg wouldn’t have even known who he was until 5 minutes ago.
I get the feeling Hogg is going to crash and that crash will be beautiful in its ugliness.
Most of the countries that we play cricket against speak Auatralian Government solar panel English. Sledging would be useless.
CL asks:
“I am trying to connect the dots here, CL. So a man’s wife has been treated very poorly and this is justification for proposing to cheat in an international game of cricket?”
Someone on a previous thread called Warner “A nutcase with a short fuse”
Nobody rational believes in astrology of course but Warner is a Scorpio. Just saying lol.
Here is one description of the breed.
“Scorpios are known for their intense and vitriolic tempers. To say that they go ballistic is putting it mildly. Their tempers are analogous to a raging flood. No one in his/her right-thinking mind would want to get on their wrong side and arouse their temper.
“Scorpios can love and hate hard. They do not believe in doing anything halfway. When they love, they love with utter abandon. There is nothing they would not do to please and satisfy the object of their passion. They are passion personified. Conversely, when they hate someone, it is pure, venomous, unadulterated hatred. Hell has no fury like Scorpio. When they hate, they hate. When they hate, they can be quite unstoppable in seeking revenge against the object of their hatred.”
Got proof?
Is living in Australia 60+ years and noticing things enough proof for you, Bush?
Interesting that the Police Lobby at the Cat is in a frenzy whenever the cops shameful treatment of Aborigines is concerned, and they’re also in a frenzy when the cop’s perfectly respectful treatment of Archbisop Pell is concerned.
Yep his 15 minutes is just about up. Twerp. It says a lot about modern society that he even has an audience. I’d give him a Helen Lovejoy award except he is the children.
Ex-diplomat Tony Kemp gave an interesting view today on Outsiders – that the Russia beat-up is an attempt by Theresa May to slow or halt Brexit by re-uniting with Nato/EU b demonizing Russia. They won’t produce the toxicology and most pertinently, we’ve all been told that the substance concerned is only owned by the Russians. Tony Kemp says it exists in Britain just down the road in a government facility at Porton Down. Hairy sits up – his father used to work there in some chemical area; it’s just above Old Sarum near Salisbury where I insisted we go a while back. Ross Cameron agrees with Tony Kemp that claims about the Russian involvement are a furphy; Rowan Dean has more time for view that Russia is engaging in criminal acts.
Where did this Hogg fellow come from?
All very strange.
None of the perfectly law-abiding aborigines I know ever have problems with the police. The few thieving wife bashing child raping ones do. So get out your violin and sob story for the vile filth. As for Pell, his lawyer will enjoy eviscerating the stupid police bigots and will likely cook their guts in front of them.
Hogg won’t be crashing and burning over bagging John McCain.
Here’s the real story of McCain’s record in the Vietnam War:
http://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-when-tokyo-rose-ran-for-president/
When they ban the guns and the shootings inevitably continue, where to for these naive f—wits? Arm the teachers, perhaps?
Gun sales went through the roof under Obama due to the threat of Gun Control. Gun manufacturers are now going broke, under Trump, due to the (perceived) reduced threat to their freedoms. Do these people truly belief that a society which has demonstrated such a mindset is going to willing line up at the police stations like the Australian lemmings did?
The journalists only sandpaper one side of Australian society, while they lick and shine the other side. Supposedly this results in some kind of swing or something.
Every single one of the police investigating Pell has an Irish surname, Whalehunt Fun.
What is it you claim that they are bigoted against?
If sentencing reform is necessary to reduce the numbers of indigenous people in jail, just remove jail sentences for all crimes committed by indigenous people upon other indigenes.
http://zeenews.india.com/sports/cricket/cricket-world-cup-ms-dhoni-hails-indian-supporters-at-packed-mcg_1550864.html
“It’s always good to play in front of good support, and the kind of support we are talking about, even when we are playing in India, there are stadiums, some of the stadiums which don’t have that kind of capacity, so even when they are full they’re close to 40,000, so today we are seeing in Australia close to more than 50,000 to 60,000 people supporting us,” Dhoni said, profusely thanking the fans for their unmatched support.
Sock is trying too hard. Just relax Sock and let it happen. Here’s some music to help.
The loins of an FBI agent.
once were savages
None of the perfectly law-abiding aborigines I know ever have problems with the police.
So many lies in that sentence, it’s hard to know where to start.
33% of Qld’s prison population is Indigenous.
Do you think it likely that at least some of them shouldn’t be there?
Looking at 2hr Outsiders recorded.
Ice Age Watch is fun; Milankovich cycles being discussed. Puts the focus on natural shifts in climate.
Good to see this stuff being put into some forms of mass media, even if it is only Foxtel at present.
Hey, Leigh Lowe have you got Foxtel?
You seem a bit bored, upthread. Losing your mojo.
They do have an Arts channel.
Plenty of Opera on that for you to get up to speed on culture.
Then you’ll be able to understand any discussion of it here.
Some of you old guys really are a bit too titty-focused.
Get over it. There is more to life than that.
So it’s not just the police, it’s the judiciary as well?
Nemkat;
Here’s a test:
Set up a cigarette stand in Redfern.
Now set up one outside Avalon.
Tell us the results.
Go brush your hair, Lizzie.
Is it any wonder Abos are struggling? The poor bastards have been the victims of every single leftist policy you can imagine. They are the freaking canaries we keep poisoning.
So, what you’re saying, Mater, is that every single Aborigine jailed in Qld deserves to be there, even though you don’t know any of them, but Archbishop Pell shouldn’t even be charged, even though you don’t know him, either.
Nemkat,
That was worthy of a Channel 4 interview.
Here’s a test:
Set up a cigarette stand in Redfern.
Now set up one outside Avalon.
Tell us the results.
In both cases, you’d be given an on the spot fine, and moved on?
You don’t like Aborigines, do you, Winston?
Nemkat is confused about Lady Justice being blindfolded vs blind.
Still my favourite april fools. Our home eccys use it every year for the food tech classes
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tVo_wkxH9dU
Do you think it likely that at least some of them [our dusky brothers] shouldn’t be there?
None of them should be there, nor white prisoners or green ones with orange spots.
They should be out on the streets (chained together collecting rubbish and slashing weeds under the gimlet eye of very large and stern men).

Interesting talk on Christian values and the reality of Christianity – by a Dr. Michael Jensen from St. Marks at Darling Point: pastor and believer. He speaks well and persuasively about forgiveness and prayer and the concept of hell.
Civilizational values, stressing consequences. Jordon Peterson’s account of heaven and hell now being discussed. This pastor agrees, the human heart can be black and needs redemption. A good spokesman for Easter.

Fact check: Maybe contains an element of truth. They were probably still testing on rabbits back then.
Poor old takmen — backward by nature deserves backward by name — should get someone to read him the first few chapters of Gideon Haigh’s The Racket, which neat describe the religious divide within VicPol.
As for the reference to Pell, the cardinal should simply declare himself Aboriginal, avow that the Rainbow Serpent is the Trinity with dots, and switch the Eucharist from wafer to witchetee grubs.
Not only would all charges be immediately dropped, he could pocket a nice grant or two as well.
Yes, who is he to be wishing ill of McCain? He’s stealing the thunder of some Cats who were recently doing the same.
What colour is your tinfoil hat, areff?
Orange with green spots?

Does an extended stint in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs count?
Orange with green spots?
Tinfoil hat is standard silver. Orange with green spots would seem more pertinent to the condition of a wanker’s overworked dick. Unzip, take a look. Tell me if i’m not right
Does an extended stint in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs count?
As a Policeman or as a Catholic Priest, areff?
As an entrpreneur with an interest in a startup that kept me there for almost two years. Kingaroy is a lovely spot. Great RSL club, terrific fish and chips.
Unzip, take a look. Tell me if i’m not right
Sounds like dicks are something that excites your interest, areff.
Kingaroy isn’t the Darling Downs, areff.
It’s the South Burnett, the country is completely different.
Well I do read your comments on the Cat. So, yes, I can recognise a putz when I see one.
Just saw an advert on TV for Womens Weekly…Maol and Dame Edna feature this month. A puff piece to increase appeal and of course, poll numbers.

Nemkat has previously argued that Aborigines are sub-human.
Methinks he ain’t here for the conviviality.
P.s didn’t realise he was such an old Xunt.
The poofter marriage mob will continue their efforts to destroy christianity until they annoy too many people. Then they’ll be slapped down and the pseudos will withdraw support for fear of their lives and the poofters will resume their status as misters 2 or 3 percent.
more socks here today than in a centipede laundry
There wasn’t a knitted kangaroo in the background by any chance? The parallels between Waffleworth’s death spiral and the Slappers are uncanny.
At least the Liars had someone who could at least save the furniture. The Lieborals are going to go up like a eucalypt forest during Christine Nixon’s dinner break.

Nemkat has previously argued that Aborigines are sub-human.
Care to link to that alleged comment, or are you going to slink off [again]?
notice the way Numbcnut gets in an anti-catholic jibe, as all good leftists must. he or it is a teacher, i suspect, as such unjustified arrogance often belongs to people who take up chalk because they are too stupid even to be social workers. Skite, posture, preen, lecture, sermonise before a class of nine-year-olds and a lifetime of inadequacy can be papered over.
“Finally, after all these years of intellectual humiliation, I really am the smartest person in the room.”
Mouthy socks today.

I ranged far and wide, you peabrain — Dalby and Goondiwindi too.
So why say ”Does an extended stay in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs count””? And then ramble about Kingaroy, which is nowhere near the Downs?
Anyway, how many Aborigines did you notice in Kingaroy?
Nemkat. How does one pick an indigenous person these days?
No.
Notice we haven’t had too much from Testes lately?
Last I was in Dublin I read about an elderly nun being abused in the street. Times have changed, nemkat.

It’s still pretty easy, Atoms for Peace.
Normal eyesight will play a big part there.
Racist.
The National Security Council is a large intelligence bureaucracy, within the Washington DC intelligence apparatus, consisting of dozens of principles and hundreds of staff. Many of those staffers are career officials, holdovers from prior administrations.
According to Foreign Policy, incoming National Security Adviser to the President, John Bolton, is planning a significant ‘clean house’ removing a significant number of people within the system.
In today’s Cat the part of Testes will be played by nemkat.
Written and authorised by Bonds sock division.
Watch it, Nemsock. Andrew Bolt got into trouble with the Human Rights Commission for saying that sort of thing.
If the blackfellas were pursued on heresay like Pell, the lefties would shit their nappies.
Last I was in Dublin I read about an elderly nun being abused in the street. Times have changed, nemkat.
You’re not saying this was bigotry though, are you, max?
The commenter upthread is claiming Archbishop Pell is a victim of police bigotry, even though every single policeman called to give evidence has an Irish surname.
hearsay
Nemkat. Have you perchance just made an observation that indigenous people can be noted on the basis of colour?
Every Australian with an Irish name is a roman catholic according to racist trolls.
Get outside all of you useless Muppets.
It’s a lovely day.

Where did i use the word ”indigenous”, Atoms for Peace?
A nice Easter Day story:
Missing 3yo boy found.
Roman catholic isn’t a race, Struth.
Anna Livia? The drunks used to relieve themselves in her bathtub. So they replaced her with a massive silver phallic symbol.

To be sure, to be sure, Struth.
So Acting Detective Sergeant Sheridan, for instance, not a Catholic, nosiree?
Wake up to yourself.
Sure. sTan Grant has been observed here often. In name if not in spirit.
That’s tears to the eye stuff, CL. Thank you. I hope the story travels the world and brings cheer and hope, as it is a true Aussie tale, a contemporary ‘Dot and the Kangaroo’ moment. Certainly an Easter miracle.
LOL.

Atoms for Peace at 4:52 pm
As i said previously, where have i used the word ”indigenous”?
As again, so easy to prove.
The left are always, always, what they project onto others.
We see this again with Nemkat.
Racist.
Envious.
Lazy.
Has Ashton been called to give Evidence, C.L.?
A swingers sex ring that abused children was just arrested in Perth.
Coincidence I’m sure.
I stand corrected Nemkat; you mentioned Aborigines.
Now, what does one’s vision have to do with that?
Heavens Above is live tracking Tiangong-1 in what appears to be its last orbit. Presently approaching Columbia/Venezuela – (sort of) predicted to land near Ache.
After that, the next inhabited place is Tasmania.
Stillbirth has affected my family and you never really get over it. But for God’s sake I am so tired of politicians like Keneally who think public office is only there to assuage their own personal demons or to indulge their own vices and vendettas. Keneally needs an exorcist or a psychiatrist- probably both- and should be deemed unfit for parliament.

“He said he tried to jump on a kangaroo this morning because he thought the kangaroo might take him home,” he said.
LOL,
That’s awesome.
Now, what does one’s vision have to do with that?
Have to do with what, Atoms for Peace?
Cricket Australia investigating ball doping have asked others involved to step forward and help CA with their enquiries before being named. Or ‘Come on out, we’ve got you Warnered!’
Actually, given the boy was found on a 4WD track by members of the public, I’m saying the kangaroo led him to it. Thanks, Skip!
CL, I just had an Easter text from Perpetua Durack and checked it back thread to her other communications with me. I wasn’t wrong at all, it was St. Anthony who does her such good service finding things and suchlike, not the dismissed St. Christopher at all. Perhaps he really did save my rings, being fully authorized. Not something to be sneezed at. 🙂
Well, not today anyway.
Goodness. My sainted kangaroo. Well, mysterious ways have been mentioned before this.
Skippy wins. #straya
Nemkat. I’ve had my fun with you. It was interesting watching you back off high speed reverse.
All the O’xxxx’s in my family are Anglican.
Your O’xxxx’s are dead to me, None.
Two detectives were called: Sheridan and Reed.
One Irish surname. Reed is an English surname.
Maybe Numkat means you can tell they are Irish by looking at them.
Pakistan: Court frees 20 Muslims suspected of burning Christian couple alive in industrial kiln for “blasphemy”
Sure, Atoms for Peace.
I’ll mark you down as a virtue signaling P.C. troll, then.
Yes, Lizzie. Christopher was struck off a fair while ago.
Mistaken identity. An Egyptian saint’s story became mixed up with others and Christopher became a remnant/composite with no historical claims to existence.
I knew a Sheridan once. Descendant of the 18th century playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Family Anglican and lived in England for at least 250 years. In nemsock world I guess he should have been living off Irish stew and warm guinness, doing whatever the priest told him and (if he was an Australian policeman) beating aboriginals to death with a weighted rosary.
The trolls are very 4th rate these days.
Boring.
Squawkbox:
You can’t get a more Irish Catholic name than Sheridan.
Holy Mother of God. Detective Superintendent Paul Sheridan could indeed be one of us. And so too could Detective Christopher Reed.
I don’t know anyone named Christopher who is not a tyke. But then, I do have a close friend, Paul, who is Presbyterian
Perpetua!! Time to skol a drink Cats
As for Senior Constable David Rae …
Christopher Robin and Pooh Bear were tykes.
Wiki doesn’t say, Snoopy, but he appears to have been a sook and lifelong whinger, so i’m saying…
I shut down your surname claim so you move on to Christian names.
You really are low energy.
Everybody knows the apron wearers and goat-riders are currently dominant in Victorian policing.
I made no surname claim.
The level of ignorance here is pretty embarrassing.
Paul would be the most obvious Christian name for a Presbyterian.
Tag team idiocy this afternoon.
This is not the old days, C.L. We tykes are quite prominent among the goat riders and apron wearers these days. It has been so for some years now.
Ah yes, that great Catholic Christopher Hitchens, for example.
😀
Like Calli, I went for my morning health walk. Up to the ocean lookout at The Gap and then down the hill to Gap Park via a small hardly known pathway through densely overhanging hillside bush land and scrub. Half way down there is an amazing old native fig tree, absolutely enormous, with roots that wander twenty metres down the hillside in a sort of vertical terrace formation, roots that rise to make partitions up to a metre high. It is a grand gnarled old man of the hill, clinging in ownership, strangling the hilltop parasitically like a weird creature from some alien world. He almost winks at you, for I had the pathway all to myself, no-one else at all there and imagination takes over.
Asian tourists see the narrow rather forbidding entry and eschew it, sticking to the bigger paths along the scenic cliffs. My secret path concludes behind the housing at Watson’s Bay, from whence it is an easy walk home for me along the beachfront looking out at Sydney’s Manhattan towers gathered together in the distance glinting glass in the sunlight, a temptress of Babylon ushering forth the day.
The second time I went outside was to the washing line to bring in the sheets. 🙂
I made the surname claim, C.L.
Plenty of English Catholics moved to Ireland, Reeds would have been amongst them.
Irish Catholics are known for nepotism, and promoting their own, so, if you’ve got a Sheridan in a senior position, all his underlings will end up being Tykes, sooner or later.
On the evidence before me I would have to agree. You, Atoms for Peace and C.L. have not done well so far this afternoon.
Bring monstie back at least he he can write in english
I stand by that, Snoopy.
Infidel Tiger has claimed i called Aborigines ”Sub Humans”.
You won’t find any evidence for that claim anywhere, but keep looking.
Nemkat,
Aboriginals, like everybody else, are in jail because they are idiots. Jail time is rarely imposed in cases of first offending – there are usually hurdles of fines, community service, various behaviour order and suspended sentences before they actually go to the Big House.
So, from that we can see that every single person in our jails is, in fact, a recidivist offender. Coppers invest plenty of time and paperwork in this field of endeavour, so much so that they don’t have time to waste picking up the nearest blackfella and making stuff up that will stick.
So if 33% of prisoners in Queensland jails are of Aboriginal descent, they are there because they deserve to be. End of story.
We have you surrounded!
Drop your sandpaper and come out with your balls up and you won’t get hurt!
I didn’t know him, Gab. But, it’s a comfort to know that he was in the care of Catholics towards the end of his troubled life.
Simply awful. Remember we thought we had it bad when the main trolls were m0nty and that other dumbarse leftist who used to come on here, opine brainlessly, then act the internet tough guy and make physical threats against those who laughed at him?
They were actually pretty decent trolls compared to the abominations (abomination?) we have now. The last 5 or so hours of OT comments ought to be deleted and never spoken of again. Just appalling.
Quick report: on Sapphire Princess between Phuket and Colombo. Midday. Ploughing through rain and thunderstorm. Ship has benefitted from its quick refurb. New carpets, paint, beds, flat screen TV, chairs in public areas. Passengers (2633) generally mid-70s; we feel positively youthful! About 1500 Aussies who so far have been well behaved — generally. Food good, entertainment average, casino punk. Music in public areas hopelessly mismatched to audience. Hip-hop, Mechanical and Doof-doof at 110% volume. And why do Cruise Directors and their assistants all screech at the top of their lungs? So far so good. Report later; internet time is precious.
If you feed the trolls, you make this place a toilet. The only reason for their presence here is to make arseholes of themselves — the Cat ownership’s new traffic minimisation strategy. Sort of like Spacechook for dummies.
Too much trolling here today while the regulars are not manning the barricades to the Cat.
Sinc should make a roster. Or reduce the onslaught.
It’s difficult to hear yourself think in here with the troll racket going on.
Snoopy at 1507
If sentencing reform is necessary to reduce the numbers of indigenous people in jail, just remove jail sentences for all crimes committed by indigenous people upon other indigenes.
Refine that a bit.
All crimes committed by indigenous people upon other indigenes on aboriginal land, or land under native title. Traditional punishments to apply to such crimes.
This morning’s homily the Christian witness of Colonel Beltrane was mentioned, in the same breathe as that of Saint Maximillian Kolbe.
Worth remembering them both this Easter Sunday.
Watching Tiangong on Dr.Faustus’ link. Tasmania is safe this orbit. Bugger it.
Kick your heels up and dance Bruce while you can, for the years fly by and you’ll be going to bed early before you know it. I’ve noticed in the past ten years that they’ve made the years shorter than they used to be. When I find the person responsible I’m going to have a few words to say about that. Someone’s mucking around somewhere. I woke up this morning and the time had changed. It’s my theory that’s how it starts, baby steps, and then they get on to making it Easter when you’ve only just finished Christmas and five years later you can’t remember where four of them have gone to.
We’re living in a time warp. 😀
Glad the cruise is going well.
Ed Feser on ‘No hell, no heaven’:
RTWT.
Thanks, Dover. Very interesting reading with some contemplation to be had later.
A nice piece by Feser again thank you DB
A good simple logical analogy for we simpler folks.
More overnight culture from our ‘noble, gentle’ people:
In Katherine, a three year old Aboriginal girl was sexually assaulted by her 17 year old cousin. The cousin’s mother is stalling the investigation and hiding the offender from police.
In Alice Springs, an Aboriginal man asked a woman for sex near the Todd River. She refused, so he belted her with a tree branch, dragged her into the Todd River bed and stabbed her in the vagina repeatedly with a pair of scissors. Captured, he told the coppers ‘I wanted to fuck her’. The victim remains in hospital undergoing surgery.
Welcome to Country my arse.
+1.

Anyone else here having problems with various internet servers? I just did a ping test and certain servers in Europe and US have terrible connection problems.
Russia lashing out. It’s all that failed state full of whores and drinks has left.
I enjoyed that, Dover. It mirrors something I have been meditating on for the past week or so.
No-one can be argued into Life. It’s impossible. They can only be persuaded to at least consider the appeal.
And the appealer doesn’t go out on a limb because they want a scalp for their belt. They do it because they appreciate the danger and want it averted.
I am afraid that the metaphysics of damnation don’t make sense to me. While the concept of a disembodied soul -which actually comes from Greek philosophy -was very prominent in Christianity particularly amongst many mediaeval thinkers like Aquinas, I don’t think modern theologians subscribe to notions of disembodied souls. We are embodied creatures, we can only exist in body, that is why Christian’s also believe in a bodily Resurrection. At the same time notions such as corporeality meant entirely different things in ancient philosophy from which Christianity do its own metaphysical vocabulary. Your author seems to equate body with corporeality which is quite common in popular thought today but I don’t think it would have made sense to the ancients
There is no rational reason why a disembodied or non corporeal angel should get a choice at creation as that seems to imply will. On the other hand it could also imply that humans embodied souls but souls nevertheless l, only get a choice at their creation too which speaks to Predestination. Sure, I didn’t pay much attention in my philosophy classes about this metaphysics of damnation as presented by that particular writer makes absolutely no sense to me.
Whores and drinks?
Sounds perfectly viable.
*but this metaphysics of damnation…
Good article, Dover,
Dover, we’re living in our own version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, where the deep state uses fanatic and dimwitted youth to cull its enemies. The good thing is that when Mao died and the Cultural Revolution ended, the fanatic and dimwitted youth found that while they were not persecuted in their turn they had acquired no useful talents, and were doomed to spend the rest of their lives as unskilled labour. It’s been noticed for a long time that senior Chinese management in any field either matured before 1965 or after 1975, with a noticeable gap inbetween.
Our modern cultural revolutionaries will find it even harder. Not only will they have no useful skills and Mickey Mouse qualifications, they will also have huge college debts and a social media record of exactly how repellent they are as human beings. I’m trying hard not to gloat in advance.
So London has set, for February-March, a higher murder rate than New York (by one murder, admittedly). Most of them by stabbing. I was in London last year and was gobsmacked to read that something like 12 people had been stabbed to death in the city within the previous fortnight. And yet Londoners at dinner parties obsess about gun crime in the US. Tried not to laugh when a spokesPlod was quoted as saying that that spike in the murder rate was due to…wait for it…an “increase in knife crime”.
Jesus H fvking Christ
Because it deserves repeating.
At some point, a future Labor government in deep electoral shite will forgive the HECS debts “of those who can least afford to pay“. There is no point holding non-performing debt on the National balance sheet when it can be converted into goodwill. And votes.
Calli, that is true. Intellect and will. In time, however, if their will changes for the better, even if only to neutrality, the arguments they have heard earlier can get a hearing and nudge the will itself.
Exactly.
Don’t know if this has already been posted …

Little bit rich for academics to be complaining about being scared of their students now. Who do they think set the whole thing off in the late 60s?
None, Feser or Aquinas don’t believe that human beings are disembodied souls. We might have them after death until the Resurrection of the Dead, but these souls are extremely attenuated because they are separated from the body. I’m not surprised the essay doesn’t make immediate sense to you though, as it wouldn’t have made much sense to me before I became more and more acquainted with Aristotelian-Thomism but it will over time. As Moderns, we have been confused by Cartesian ghosts in the machine, and their ilk, but in time, the Medievals will make more sense because to them human beings were neither ghosts or machines.

This is going to be interesting when — and if — they arrive at the US border:
Mexican authorities are ushering them through thus far, dover.
Paine has a fractured thumb.
What a wretched and horrid tour.
The cricket gods are angry at Maxwell being 12th man.
Need a smoking ceremony to appease them.
I hear you Dover but I have no reason to believe that the author is an accurate interpreter of Aquinas, or mediaeval thought. For all Aquinas’s brilliance he’s not necessarily always coherent.
There’s a thing called “memcached” and it’s a server that provides a lightweight and fast data cache that can be used for any short term storage, especially for website cache. There were of course plenty of other cache solutions before this one came along, but hey if it wasn’t made out of reinvented wheels it wouldn’t be modern software. Anyhow, when they say “lightweight” they mean no need for any security protocol whatsoever, and that’s fine if you keep it INSIDE your network and not exposed to the open internet.
What’s that you say? Never, never do this? OK I’ll do it.
Well, you probably wouldn’t, but when there’s stupid afoot, someone surely would and indeed many people who really, really knew better but kinda didn’t care put these things up unprotected and pointed them at the world in general to blast garbage in every possible direction. Hence, overall shitness for everyone.
There’s some space for a user pays strategy where people who fill the internet with crap get the bill. Interesting parallel to pollution and the mysterious “externalities”… if only we had an economist around these parts to sort that out for us.
More likely a self uppercut, but let’s see how this plays out.
