hahahha 'SerfChoices'

lol following the government and providing your own opposition now?

Of course the media are going to be all over it. Anything this big on national security makes for great headlines and draws a lot of attention. But to insinuate any sort of collusion with the government for the purposes of putting Howard in a positive light is highly far-fetched.

Yes I think that the compass test does shift a lot of people to the left from where they would ordinarily be. As you say there will be some people, a lot of people, who when faced with making/supporting real-life, specific policy issues would alter their stance. Not all mind you, but a...

Well of course the bloody DPP is going to agree you cretin!

That's exactly right, what is the point of working if we cannot actually live? I really question this so called demise of the 5-day working week. Sure sometimes work spills over, especially for some professions, but on the whole that is quite an extraordinary claim. It flags a real change that...

haha Kidnapping Glenn Ridge

It has the same maximum penalty, but usually a lower sentence than the maximum is given.

Yes I agree, and I would think less likely to be intelligent, but being very intelligent and being foolish/insecure aren't mutually exclusive :)

They're not all morons

You know full well that statute is the tip of the iceberg Common law underpins everything! Imagine if you only learnt the statutory provisions and Iemma scrapped the CLA tomorrow. What then! Make sure you're in Cathy Sherry's property class next year. You will benefit from things such as...

Proof? I think not. Ah, no. What you are stating is the enlarged version of terra nullius that was incorrectly applied by colonial legislatures to try and justify their claim to land. It was rejected in Mabo. As long as there were occupants of the land, then terra nullius did not apply. So you...

Were the Aborigines at the time alcoholics or abusing their children? No. (Incidentally, who gave them alcohol again?) 1. Firstly, history disagrees with you. Ask any history student. Read a history book. Read the Mabo decision. 2. You obviously have no idea what the doctrine of terra...

Right, and I'll only say sorry to the person I give your baby to after I steal it, shall I? Yeah, good question. Why is it bad for a child to be taken away from their parents forever, introduced to a completely new set of rules and social structures where they are treated second-class citizens...

Oh good. Taking children from people isn't a bad thing, fancy that. I think when you have your first child I might come around and steal him -- how would you like that? According to you, it is perfectly acceptable. You failed to address my point. This is the problem with all your arguments: you...

Fallacy: tu quoque. Because we took their children. It depends on what the result was towards those white children. If they were taken for their own good and it was for their own good, then we do not need to apologise because no harm has been caused. With regard to Aboriginal children, it was in...

You should ask yourself a simple question. Why do people say sorry to others? By your reasoning, people should never apologise. You don't feel bad for them? I'm not too concerned with arguing about that. That's just a poor reflection on your character. You personally don't, but the government...

You didn't address his question. What do you base your assertion on? What is the legal justification behind your claim that sorry = compensation?

He has no idea about it, that's the sad thing. It reminds me of the mass hysteria and ignorance around the time Mabo was decided. People thought Aborigines would be coming and taking their backyards :rolleyes:
