The irresistible temptation of the straw man. Also please edit out "is ran". Makes you look even thicker than the rest of the post does.

It's not necessary to believe he would ever become rehabilitated, only to accept that it might be possible. And it's hard to see how he could become even more radicalised.

koroke hangareka

Yeah, 20 years sounds fair as a starting point.

If he is captured by either, as opposed to killed, then life in prison. He might rehabilitate and then become an asset to assist with bringing others away from terror. Not necessarily. It really is no good this all-or-nothing business of death or life in prison. You have to believe in redemption, y...

Jeez, you have to stop exaggerating.

Anyway he clearly means Kovana, the well known namby pamby liberal.

Here is what I don't get. What gives an Aussie, Pom, Yank, or even a Kiwi, the right to assume they can go into another country and expect to be treated the same way there as they would be at home? That's f**k ridiculous. You have to respect the laws and customs of the country you are in, and if yo...

:thumbup:.Hard to argue with that. You might deliberately choose to socialise with people who gleefully support state sanctioned murder and passionately advocate for the death penalty. But I certainly don't. Such beliefs are incompatible with my belief set and incompatible with being a decent human...

The only useful purpose that capital punishment serves is as a time saver. If you meet someone who reveals they support capital punishment they have in fact saved you time because they have quickly and efficiently revelaed themeslves to be an idiot, and a wanker, and someone who it's not worth enga...

Didn't know much about dogs either.

Nice double whamy, that. Good work.

Well, I got 49 out of 50. The one i missed was 15. How to give a confident handshake. I generally grasp the other person by their fingertips and wiggle gently, which is apparently wrong.

All done. NZ 331/6, SL 233.

Perfect our democracy by disenfranchising the undemocratic. Good idea. We should put it in the next five year plan.

I tell the time like that too. "What's the time?" " Oh, about February"

It's a pretty convincing simulation though. Looks just like real life.

Well done to all concerned.

Let's not have "sheeple", ok? It's a very annoying word.

Or maybe it's the sports we play. Many Australian men grow up with rugby and Aussie rules, both of which are more physical than Germany's favourite ball game.

Soccer is indeed known for promoting peaceful and serene attitude to life.

IMO the difference between tea and coffee is that tea is refreshing. It's a nice way to quench your thirst. Whereas Coffee is for a pick-me-up and it's more about the caffeine hit that it provides. This is true. I remember picking tobacco out near Mareeba. They gave us beer after work, which was ni...

Well we bombed the shit out of Germany at the end of WW II, killing hundred of thousands of German civilians, pretty much leveled it to the ground to be precise. Does that mean that Germans have a right to go around murdering innocent people?

I'm quite bullish on where the world is going. Yes, there have been psychological studies that have suggested that liberals are more optimistic than conservatives and that conservatives are more motivated by fear of the unknown. Equally, there have books that argue that conservatives understand the...

As much as I like sampling different craft beers I find myself returning to Ontario's Muskoka Brewery Cream Ale time and again. It really is a super drop. When in Australia and New Zealand, I tend to gravitate toward James Squire, Monteith's and Stoke brews whenever possible. At a pinch, I'll smash...

Should all beliefs be respected? All human beings should be respected, as a default at least. That should at least lead you to a certain caution regarding the (admittedly irrational) beliefs cherished by billions of them. So you do have beliefs. I do agree about respect. I dislike the phrase "respe...

Yes, Eight_Eye, but it isn't. Lots of perfectly nice people just regard it as an unprovoked attack. What you gonna do?

Just because you believe that the coran is the word of god doesn't make it so. Being a believer is NOT like being black, or handicapped. It's not an unchangeable physical feature. This is true, but being Muslim is not a choice that people feel free to unmake. Shit. How negotiable are your beliefs? ...

koroke hangareka

Piff. I don't believe you.

More to the point, if you don't doubt, how can your beliefs be negotiable? And how can you expect others to abandon theirs?

koroke hangareka

I don't have any. Nor, it appears, do you.
