Well said Foxy.

Yeah Foxy but you realise that "Je Suis Charlie" was a load of bollocks as well right? The response to the Charlie Hebdo outrage was as hypocritical as it gets given that Charb and Co led a campaign to have the Front National banned and fired a cartoonist who criticised Zionism, the magazine didn't stand for free speech for all, only for some. Now that I read that back it's actually "consistent hypocrisy" if you want to look at it that way LOL.

Dear BJelly,

Thank You.

I agree with Jonathan Holmes when he says:

"I applaud the ABC for continuing to expose the
Australian psyche to unpopular and dangerous opinions."

It is silly to get upset about people's opinions on a
TV show designed to encourage them to express those
opinions.

Holmes says he gets the feeling that both sides of
politics would like to see Q&A stacked with polite
minorities, accommodating women, and a couple of ageing
comedians who all agree with each other.

Then Holmes points out that - Oh wait,
The Project's already done that.

We have Andrew Bolt on his weekly show espousing his
narrow - factually wrong views. No Abbott-led Coalition
member ever objects to Mr Bolt. As a matter of fact -
they're frequent guests on his show - all singing from
the same song-book.

He's allowed to preach his weekly dose of bile.
Both on his TV show and in his columns.
And don't get me started on the other bright shinning light -
Alan Jones.

As a country we should not fear people saying things that
offend, horrify, or disgust us. However, the reality is that
Freedom of Speech seems to apply only to a select
few.

See you on another discussion.

'We have Andrew Bolt on his weekly show espousing his
narrow - factually wrong views'

swallowing truth has always proved very difficult for the left. Foxy is good evidence of that.

Foxy: "I applaud the ABC for continuing to expose the Australian psyche to unpopular and dangerous opinions."

As I said before foxy. I agree with you, but for entirely different reason.

Hey I guess Grandma won't be wanting to get her grand kids & daughter home now, seeing the Son-in-Law survived. Oh well, maybe they'll have better luck next time.

Notice that all of the supporters of the ABC are completely unable to give any non-circular reason why it should be state-funded? All they ever prove is that they like what it produces, and sarcastically abuse anyone who dares to call them on their privilege.
