Society/Culture Q&A 2017

[Sainteric]

You saying terrorism doesn't happen in other religions or from other countries too?

Not anywhere as much as islam. Islam as its practiced in most majority muslim countries is horrible pretending otherwise or denying islam is the main culprit in terrorism is just nonsensical.

Right on cue , here's the sook from Andrew Salt

For years I have asked the ABC managing director - first Mark Scott and now Michelle Guthrie - to come onto my show to discuss their stewardship of $1 billion a year of our taxes and they have consistently refused to do so. We have been given various excuses but the best was that the boss might get attacked on social media for deigning to debate.​

Maybe because his show has about 5 viewers? An interview would do more for Bolt than it would for... anyone else in the world.

So what the US have done to the Middle East is not terrorism? Libya..Yemen...Iraq...Syria...Afghanistan...
Bombing weddings? Hospitals???

I'm watching for my vegan comrade, Peter Singer, the rest are pretty lame.

s**t, I wasn't going to watch it but I could never pass up the chance to hang s**t on a vegan.

 

[Maggie5]

Lapkin's eyes are scary.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Unfortunately, I can't give you a dislike for that Lebbo73!

 

[Messenger]

It's the only one I've managed to watch all the way through. And I regret it.

I also regret someone didn't beat Piers Akerman to death with a rock last week.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

I thought that it was an interesting episode. I quite enjoyed it. I loved that it wasn't about asylum seekers or Trump.

Two Liberals - one a politician and one advisor to Abbott - to one Labor politician. Bloody leftist ABC.

When you factor in the other 2 guests, it's not so clear cut.

 

[AM]

When you factor in the other 2 guests, it's not so clear cut.

Neither of the other two had direct political connections.

One was and American environmentalist and the other an Australian philosopher who still lives in America I believe with no political connections here that I'm aware of.

Was that Tubby Taylor sitting next to Singer?!

 

[NitroFan]

Need Bill Burr or Milo on this panel for the lols

Nope

 

[madmug]

Nope

The unmitigated destruction of Iraq by Bush, & his minions like Blair & howard, opened up the mess we see now. It was not warranted, it was not necessary, it had nothing to do with 9/11. Bin Laden was in Afghanistan, the people & money used were from Saudi Arabia.

It simply destroyed the place & gave license for every nut case to attack the infidels as revenge.

So yes blame Islam if you like. But It wont help solve this bloody mess thats been created.

 

[nut]

Nope

Oh ok... in that case.

 

[Sainteric]

Oh ok... in that case.

It got the answer it deserved. The leftist view that isis/terrorism = the Aus/US govt and millitary is so absurd camus wouldnt have tackled it. Its the lefts equivalent of trumps theory that obama's spying on him.

Just because in hindsight you want to join two dots that suits an inflexible worldview does not make that view logical or right.

You might want to keep an eye on Wikileaks around 3 in the morning

See, this is where you're wrong. You give no credit to the splendid plan devised by the Yanks for what needed to be done after their inevitable victories in Iraq and Afghanistan...oh wait. Has the fighting stopped in those two countries? Back to, sorry, approach the drawing board. I'm sure they'll sort it out. You only have to look at their track record...oh, wait...

It was what some of us suspected about Michael Hastings, i.e. being able to externally hack the control systems of vehicles and cause "accidents"
