    Broughton

    Is this relevant, considering Broughton and McPhee are used for a completely different role off the backline? Don't see Broughton enforcing much of anything.... other than covering off a requirement to occasionally look like Ted Mosby... "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave you met Greg?"

    Petrayal

    LOL See what you did thar. Should be noted however that, as always, posters like you and Rayven completely disregard and disingenuously blur the lines between soldier and state. This has been pointed out to both you and Rayven multiple times and you still don't get the message. Likewise you...

    Religion The God Question (continued in Part 2 - link in last post)

    Yay for the forum software that now tells me you've responded. Your first sentence is both presumptuous and contains the exact arrogance I decried in my post. My response - I have neither the requirement nor the inclination to respond in a rational matter. Simply put, Piss Off. As for God's...

    Politics Are taxes theft?

    Personally I believe any society really does require a taxation base in order to satisfy a social contract or responsibility to it's citizens. I think even conservatives would argue that this is the case, the point of contention comes down to how large that taxation base should be and using what...

    History Why are poor countries poor?

    Geoffrey Blaine pretty much puts it down to the ability of an early developing culture group to cultivate and store cereals of one type of another. Those that could/did formed cities. Those that couldn't/didn't/were late doing so weren't as technologically advanced in overall terms by the time...

    Petrayal

    Really, you think? 1) Not next NATO chief; the next SACEUR... there's a distinct difference. 2) Sending flirtatious or cozy emails is not a crime under the UCMJ (unlike adultery), so I think you'll find the Marine General has nothing to worry about at this point.

    Alan Jones and the blurred lines of Australian media and politics

    Personally I think Mal's trying to hit a point target with an area-effect weapon on this one. What about Moderates? People who take individual issues on their merits (and thus may find themselves in agreement with conservative points of view? Are they also white collar bigots, racists etc)? I...

    Politics Q and A audience tonight

    Puhlease. Reith is a dropkick and his behaviour during "Children Overboard" was a disgrace, but you do realise that Reith had nothing to do with the Tampa, thus that guy getting sent back don't you (Deveny clearly didn't realise it LOL)? He was in London at the time on an ambassadorial posting...

    Society/Culture 911 compared to the Bali Bombing

    Erm, out of curiosity, line item 2 there... UN Sanctions? Is the UN the evil puppetry tool of the US or the baseline of internationally accepted legality/morality that all (including the US) should be adhering to? Because it needs to be one or the other... you can't pick and choose based on...

    Society/Culture Banning alcohol outright.

    Awesome method of introducing what equates to collective punishment there mate. Rich or Poor be damned, not all of us are going to glass somebody after a G&T; why should the responsible in society bear an even greater burden than they already do as a result of the natural incompetence of the...

    Alan Jones and the blurred lines of Australian media and politics

    Pfffft.... The man's an irrelevant twat. I wouldn't accept a phone call from him either.

    Roast Chris Tarrant is a Prick

    You do, however, seem to have issues with basic grammar and punctuation. Now **** off. :p

    History Multiculturalism in history - any examples?

    Some of us choose to answer OP's question rather than feed the troll. ;)

    History Multiculturalism in history - any examples?

    Not sure if this one has been mentioned (saw no need to skip through what would likely be 5 pages of R00's idiocy), but pretty much all the evidence gathered since the 60's about the Indus Valley civilization points to successful multicultural intermingling rather than the typical war of...

    Time for a new captain.

    Well, see now I'm all choked up. Honestly, I think I might weep a bit. :rolleyes: I don't think anyone here gives a shit what you post, but some evidence-based qualification to back up your hyperbole wouldn't hurt. I note that you're yet to address some of the evidence-based qualification...
