Oh OK. You're a free thinker with a fresh approach and everyone with a different opinion to yours is just a blind sheep. Cool. But no seriously, have you thought through the consequences of your different opinion?

The Herald Sun. Lol. I hear they actually pay Andrew Bolt money to write his garbage for them. Deery hasn't seen the evidence and nor have you. People are shocked that someone can be convincted on the testimony of one person - but the vast majority of people who have actually seen that testimony...

Good thing no one cares what you think about it, then. Jesus.

Come the F on people. Bruce is full of S and wrong, but he's surely allowed to express his genuinely held opinion on the case.

You are very confirmation-biased. A strong majority of judges and jurors who have actually seen the testimony have found it utterly compelling. You are dismissing out of hand any opinions that don't support your view and giving total credence to all the opinions that do support it.

I've read plenty about all 3. Also read A Song of Ice and Fire because it's a damn good series and reading quality fiction is a thing adults do. It would be odd then, for me to completely ignore the show, though I do find 'GOT super-fans' who never bothered to read the series it's based on...

I have very little time for Assange. Don't like him at all. But his being arrested over the 2010 charges in the USA is very concerning. They had no choice but to arrest him for skipping bail, but they've arrested him with a view to extraditing him to the USA. Anyone who has any concern for the...

Telling people that hell is real and they're going to go there just for being who they are is simply nasty. And yes, pushing those beliefs absolutely is responsible for suicides. Faith is a dangerous thing. Sensible clear thinking people just don't say things like that.

Hear what you’re saying, but on the other hand it’s very common that a wealthy and privileged man (which Jussie is) does get the rub of the green.

She is not. Parliament =\= Government.

Firstly, it’s not actually anywhere near as precise as the word ‘pinpoint’ suggests. Secondly, it doesn’t pinpoint what ‘race’ people belonged to, it estimates what proportion of a persons ancestors lived in what places at what times. You’re the one putting the construction of ‘race’ onto that...

That is an obvious non-sequitur. The existence of heritable genetic markers doesn’t prove biological race and I have no idea why you’d think otherwise.

Seems the Government has reversed its reversal of the decision not to grant Milo a visa. For those of you who struggled to parse that (don't really blame you) this means he's not allowed in.

This is just horrible. It's also the logical conclusion of alt-right white nationalism. This is someone who posted these abhorrent views on an online forum and then acted upon them. Just awful.

It sounded like the judge put a lot of weight on the idea that because he's old and because of who he is, a year in prison for him is a significantly bigger punishment than it would be for an ordinary offender. All things considered, 6 years is about right from a legal perspective which is the...

I dare say this makes interesting listening for the people who imagine the judges just pull numbers straight from their arses when sentencing.

I'm guessing around 5 years. Will be concurrent sentences of varying lengths.

I find it quite fascinating watching self-identified 'conservatives' trying to contort themselves into the position required to celebrate a married homosexual pedophilia advocate just because he's moderately effective at trolling 'the left'. All at the same time as they are trying to explain...

If we are trying to be a bit more serious, then it should be pointed out that sexual harassment requires repeated sexual advances in the face of rejection. It's not clear that a simple peck on the cheek even is a sexual advance, and it's not clear that anything prior to the incident that...

The suggestion that another Sydney player had been calling Langford a 'NTTAWWTter' seems like it has its place in this 'discussion'. Seen in that light, could it be argued that McViegh's reaction to friendly peck on the cheek in fact constitutes 'gay-bashing' and that it is actually he who should...

MESSENGER MODERATOR!

Just thinking of all the times I've been assured by righties that innocent people 'almost never' get charged with crimes. I note his statement equivocates a little on whether he'll front up 'following advice from doctors' and 'as soon as possible'. Looking at it from a rhetorical point of view...

Of course there should be. To anyone who thinks otherwise - your beliefs offend me, and therefore society should force you to stop offending me. Wait, what? :confused:
