Public funding for ABC News is no longer defensible : Comments

By Alan Austin, published 6/6/2013

ABC news and current affairs present the same pro-Coalition coverage of national affairs as the corporate news media.

ybgirp - Are you suggesting that all homosexual males and females are more or less identical in their thoughts and actions? Do you think all heterosexual males and females are equally similar? If not, why not?

I believe I've already covered this in detail elsewhere however ... No I most certainly don't, I've had a number of mutually satisfactory business relationships with homosexual males although they were in a previous lifetime. During the same period I encountered a number of lesbians and without exception they could only be described as impossibly evil bitches with no redeeming features whatever. For various reasons (business, location, lifestyle etc) I have rarely had any contact with queers for years. One male I struck in whats best described as a charitable area takes the cake for the most malicious male I've ever met, but then an AC-DC couple who occasionally turn up in a social circle have yet to rock any boats. There are two lesbian couples who live in my broader community, only one of which is ever seen. They don't have much in common with other residents however. Considering the number of 'nice' vs 'nasty', queers generally, and lesbians infinitely more so, have convinced me I don't need to know any of their ilk. If push came to shove, I'd possibly do business a male homosexual providing they play by my rules, but there is no way known I'd go within cooee of any lesbian.

My experiences are exactly that. Others are fully entitled to their own beliefs & opinions as I am to mine. My point is the wholly unsatisfactory experiences well outweigh the few favourable ones, consequently Queers Anonymous need not ask me for support .. period.

SPQR,
You heartless sod, trying to spoil Alan's world with reality. You won't win though, he's got a degree which entitles him to be out of touch & try to induce others, especially the young & vulnerable to become out of touch also. I can handle that if he can arrange for me not to contribute to keeping them.

All of your points against the red-headed witch, the dying duck & the KRudd are valid, however the cost of the Queensland health department payroll debacle has probably already matched or even exceeded the total federal stuffup list. Whilst it has its roots in the utter ineptitude of the Blighters, particularly Minister for Monumental Stuffups Robertson, General Disaster hasn't exactly covered himself with glory as far as a solution is concerned. Why the culprits haven't been prosecuted is another question, surely its unreasonable to allow parliamentary privilege to extend as far as total indemnity for the level of ineptitude to which we've been subjected.

Yes, Praxidice, I understand that, however blanket assertions that are obviously silly undermine your other arguments. You frequently make good sense, however, when you imply that all same-sex-oriented people are the same... bad, then I begin to lose interest in your other opinions, which are based on experience - so are mine - that is normal. More to the point, how do you know if someone is 'queer'? Most gays slip easily under the radar and no one knows or even suspects their orientation unless they advertise it. It's my experience that I have little in common with most people - male, female, gay or sad. But I'm not going to generalise that all humans are worthless, because that is patently ridiculous
