Calling his wife a mail-order bride is not only completely and utterly moronic but it is insulting to every asian woman in this country. I suppose I can see why country bumpkins might find it amusing though. I'm sure many have little idea or familiarity with the real, multicultural world of...

You found Brogden's original comments funny? Are you stupid or just insane?

Well this shows how much of a jerk he is but there is no reason he should resign. Abbott made it clear though that he doesn't give a damn -- he is just apologising to make people feel better, not because he is actually sorry (of course the only reason people would feel better is if he was sorry...

I would like it extended to 75, but I wouldn't push it past that.

wtf is with that guy's shirt Anyway let's hope that Alex Hawke is put in his place sometime soon.

What is particularly silly, in my opinion, is that the US does not have a mandatory retirement date for its Supreme Court judges. (Under our constitution our High Court judges must retire at 70.) There is a danger that they get into their dotage and start become senile and mentally off balance...

If I may note that, from my experience, euripidies has always appeared to me be a particularly well-read and intelligent person. I don't think he deserves to be vituperated like that. Yes he's from left. Since when did dissidence from one's own particular world view become an offence, in its...

Enough weighing up with the qualifications. Quite frankly, as I have stated, it is irrelevant for our argument. It's time to get down to reason. Women must wear a piece of clothing that covers their body (for the purposes of inhibiting indecent thoughts in men). That is simply a silly, old...

Read her qualifications. They are just as valid. Besides which she does have knowledge of Islam, the Koran etc. The fact that she may have brought her modern day university learning to shed light on the situation means that she is able to view the faith without as much traditional bias. Also...

I bet he will understand their anxiety when those starving souls feast from his flesh upon his arrival there tomorrow Not suprising though -- this is his chance to be the big strong president in a time of peril (even though he doesn't seem to be doing that particularly well)

If some country was hell-bent on it, strategically speaking now would be a nice time for a war with America

Well, this is the country with a constitutional gun right after all But yes I find it absurd and unsettling... the gravity of the lawlessness is extreme. I mean take away the rules and in a split second everyone just forgets what society was. Kinda reminds me of Lord of the Flies actually.

It is somewhat silly isn't it "Token" is the key word here, whatever that may do for us.

En garde! Thankyou for your kind words, and no it will not ;) I did not choose her to represent the views of Muslim women. I posted that interview to show: (a) evidence of religious, social conditioning through the unjustified foundations of tradition and fear; (b) how I see a liberated...

hehe Reminds me of the good old days -- http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=1098

Yes, because I'm such an ignorant person and all. :rolleyes: Although if (as you imply) by ignorant you mean that I do not agree with your view, then sure, I'm very ignorant. Because the religion says so. (Primarily in order to prevent indecent thoughts on the part of men.) But as I said...

haha I could so picture that

Mmm I know, but it wasn't that comment that did it

Though I think that a lot of protests really do not achieve anything in terms of policy change or practical results, I am reluctant to speak against protesting. It is an important political expression of dissatisfaction that, whether it changes anything or not, is valuable in the sense of...

There aren't many people wearing hijabs in our electorate...
