Goodbye Bronwyn

[Dave70]

ah, and from the same stats we are behind all the nordic countries in "freedom from corruption", which in a way goes to the heart of our problem. Our pollies are in it for themselves, and as a result can be bought (and will rort the system to their personal advantage).

Wow, on topic again!

And thats the worst part of it. Every time one of these pigs is caught with their snout in the trough, our trust gets further eroded. Its extremely bad for the brand and produces the kind of jaded apathy and resentment you see even in these pages.
There should be a vested interest from within to put a broom through the whole establishment if they're interested in preserving any kind of integrity whatsoever.
A political career these days looks more like all aboard the gravy train to junket town rather than a life devoted to public service.

Indeed. Although certain media organisations who describe anyone slightly to the left of the extreme right as being practically communists and wanting to steal all your property and give it to a dole bludger, must shoulder a portion of the blame as well...

I don't care how much tax I pay as long as I have the opportunity to earn more, have a nicer house and better life than socialist bludgers.

Your honour, the prosecution rests.

You still brought up russia and china (and I believe you were the first to do so) in response to airgead asking about what was terrible about socialism and socialist ideas. I could find and quote the posts but I'm sure you're perfectly capable. Why respond to a question about social policy in Australia with examples from totalitarian countries that came through an intense (and intensely bad) communist period into a corrupt, crime laden, politically and socially fraught capitalistic one? Is it an example of what may happen next time we get a labor government? We all turn into Maoists?

My response to airgead's post was in post number 379, my post about the emergence of Russia and China was further to my first paragraph in post 382, when given the opportunity, some people will stop sitting on their hands and shape their own destiny, I could have named Indonesia if you would have preferred,emerging from a right wing dictatorship to a democracy, trouble is they don't seem to have done anything as yet.
You are the moderator if there are any of my posts you aren't happy with simply delete them, We have covered a lot in this thread, gay marriage, objective 2 of the ALP, Royal Commission, even Obama managed a look in, racism, Nordic Socialism, oh I almost forgot Bronwyn Bishop.

Was she a high class escort ?

 

[Airgead]

Was she a high class escort ?

Now I have an image in my head that I really did not need.

 

[booargy]

Was she a high class escort ?

If you divide her fee by the amount of people who chucked in it/she is cheap but not many got what they paid for either.

 

[RobW]

Love the smell of hairspray in the morning

 

[pcmfisher]

Was she....

She thought so.

Why would I delete your posts? That would be an abuse of moderator powers. You have the right to discuss politics, even if I disagree. There's been no guideline breach from you that I'm aware of.

I'm arguing here as a member, not a moderator and I hope no mod ever starts deleting posts they don't like due to political stance.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

gee that would really get them going haha.
"See! The bloody socialist propaganda machine is at work!"

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Poor Tony, makes another gaffe labeling the opposition racists over the lies about ChAFTA, when are people going to stop throwing the word racist around, Black Bess, **** Turpins Legendary horse now known as Bess, the Black Prince does he now have to be called Prince, and calling an Irishman Paddy is racist, it is farcical and getting right out of hand.
Its like living in a comedy sketch, I wonder what would happen if you said the word Jehovah?

 

[seamad]

Like most of the information in your posts, Black Bess is a fiction .
Turpin became a legend after his death. His story became linked in print with a legendary ride from London to York to establish an alibi, a tale previously attributed to the highwayman William Nevison. This fictional version was further established when it was included in an 1834 bestseller called Rockwood, in which the author Harrison Ainsworth added a new twist: that Turpin’s horse, Black Bess, expired at York after the record-breaking ride. None of this was true.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Hence the use of the phrase, 'Legendary horse Black Bess' of course it isn't true, Noddy is also fiction but the word golliwog is also a racial slur in the UK and here in Australia.

Funny how it's only ever white blokes crying about not being able to use the word '******'' anymore.
