That quote is kinda ironic given Lincoln quoted the bible, or more specifically Jesus. So is Bush to move more to the centre or more to the right and follow the words of Jesus?

Ah, the good 'ole PS2. Mine's served me faithfully for almost 2 and a half years but now i feel the pull of the sexier update, with it's new styling and newer parts (not faster or bigger, but not as age weary). I'll either trade in for the new one or give the other away to charity, or maybe just someone less fortunate then I (perhaps the owner of an Xbox). But on a more serious note (or as serious as one can get discussing game consoles) two
My apologies for that particular call, it was late and I am getting frustrated with the way the left sympathises with terrorists. They don't get that these terrorists don't want to negotiate. Besides, you picked on one sentence of my post, nothing about the actual points I made. And even though that comment was in frustration, Champas has showed he has no idea when it comes to terrorists. Here's
Sad, isn't it? What? Sad that Champas keeps coming up with this crap? Or sad that terrorists resort to kidnapping and ransoms to get their way? What relevance do statistics from 1971 have on todays society? Sure in some cases old statistics might still work but terrorism? Are you saying that todays terro
What research did you use? What facts did you find? Have you researched, tried to prove me wrong? You either haven't or did and came up with nothing so decided attacking me was easier, it required less thought.
That sort of attitude is exactly why Israel and Palestine probably aren't going to have peace for a very long time. So you’re saying that the fact that their respective cultures having been at war since biblical times was actually due to the pre-emptive strikes the Israelis made on terrorists in the Palestinians
What a bloody sore loser, Latham got his arse kicked; the ALP got it kicked even harder. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but that is the fourth consecutive election that the Coalition has had swing towards it. And yet you still manage to crap on about how bad JH is, give credit where credit is due, if he was a bad as you say he was then how could he increase at every election? Now here come your conspiracies, he cheated, he lied, and he deceive
Hey, Gees, Megan and Rin will be pissed. They can't wait for the game but like i'm paying for it Hope all's well
That's right i don't believe it. It didn't. I did believe it, then I did some research. If I've been so wrong about it and missed some proof of it happening then tell me. And I stand by the belief that Latham is a twat.
Oh and I suppose after reading a list of 107 items of things John Howard has done wrong and STILL deciding to vote for him because of your small business ISN'T selfish?! I"ve covered a few few of his (Champas') lies under "Howards Never Ending Story." A small recap would point out that at least a third of that c
Well, well it seems like you’ve checked your facts. Well sorta anyway. I’ve got two kids so 600 by 2 is 1200 which is substantially under the proposed combined weekly increase you put forward. Plus add to the fact that the coalition will raise the tax free threshold for my small business. Also, finding hard data on my family’s outcome if Latham is impossible. It’s nowhere on the ALP site, so I’m left to go with newspaper article I read last w
This is so tough, so many bigoted opinions (not facts) to tackle. I know I haven’t been around to take them on one at a time so you’ll just have to deal with it. It must be nice having so many people reading your blog who, like you, don’t actually think facts matter. I’ll stick to the blatant crap first and if I can be bothered I’ll go deeper. Shouldn’t be too hard. I’ll start where you did and follow, first is health. Your points
Eh herm... I told you so.:P
That adult content is a little risque don't you think?
I resent the F---head remark. It shows little brain power to revert to attacking the person not the argument. I hoped to get more then the average left wing "the right is wrong simply because i say so" dribble from you Champas. But you are heading down that track pretty fast. Denton won that award because of his style of interview. I quite like watching his show because he gets his subject to open up far more then any other journo I've see
For starters, both the Government and opposition have expressed their deepest condolences to the Indonesians who lost their lives. Also, of course Jakarta’s paper would proclaim that Australia isn't intimidated. The attack was a statement to us; they just suck at aiming that's all. Every report I have read has mentioned how the Indonesians lost lives, some protecting our embassy. Both sides of government have even given special mention to them
Using Lateline is a bit dodgy don't you think? The whole point of that program is to blast politicians, and it does so. Both sides. As for using Enough Rope, that's even dodgier (sp?). It's hardly a political show, he covers a broad spectrum of topics. Denton doesn't debate, he just asks for opinions and life stories.
Make up your mind, first it's an issue that he "lied", then when that's called into question it suddenly doesn't matter if he lied. You never mentioned that bringing politics into the equation was an issue. And how could it not have been? It was a federal issue just before a federal election and as i recall the opposition parties tried to use it to discredit Howard so are just as guilty.
But that is half the point, the facts are that you have to pay people less for doing nothing. That isn't what Labor is about. They want free stuff for everyone. Free drugs and health care for all. How is that going to encourage people to earn more? The fact is that the type of reform needed is unpopular; we aren't having more babies then normal, in fact we are having less (obviously I'am an exception <img src="../images/smiles/grim.gif" border=0 ALIGN=
Why is our PBS the one the world loves? Because we give our more freebies. Minor problem; ageing population. Less people paying taxes, more oldies needing freebies. How does Latham propose to pay for it? Where's he going to get the money from? Not just now but later as the population continues to age? We'd know but the last attempt to put out a Labour budget was shot down less then a day later; they were a few billion off paying for it. I could go on b
Well it's good to see you're well informed on the issue FishHead. I suppose the holocaust didn't happen either. Only a Liberal could see these people as numbers. Because that's all the Liberal Party can ever deal with is numbers. People's lives are not numbers. The only number I spoke of was the low tens of tho
Just a quick reply, i'll go more indepth at a later date. It's a fact that there were no "stolen" kids, well maybe a couple but the facts show that any kids taken were taken with the permission of the parents. The abuse factor is a problem with the foster system, not specifically aboriginals. And are you telling me that you think aboriginals deserve more money for doing nothing then another non-aboriginal does? You say you care about the real
"Our ancestors have created a culture of hierarchy that we have inherited and it has thus become our duty to rid our country of this." I agree, lets get the aboriginals who do nothing and get between to 50 and 100 percent more handouts from the government on to equally billing with white bums. Currently the government is racist towards white people if anything.
Maybe, just maybe the media got the whole "Stolen Generation" thing wrong... Maybe, just maybe the number of "stolen" kids has been so greatly exaggerated that it's now ridiculous. Maybe those kids weren’t stolen but actually put into families that would love them and give them a future compared to being in slums waiting to die. Odd that we still take kids away from parents who don’t deserve them. I’m not saying nobody was stolen, but the fact
Dude what does he stand for? I mean long term, not just at the moment. I haven't liked what Latham had said both before and after his backflips and have said so on many occasions but i've still got no idea what he's on about, with the exception of anti Bush and Howard. So really it makes some sense that Howard says he doesn't know what Latham stands for because he always changes his mind. That wasn't the brightest of attacks Champas, i've come to expec
