Izzy Folau repeats an obligato in the OLO score : Comments

By Graham Young, published 15/4/2019

My hope is that what we are experiencing is the teething pangs of what is still a very new technology, and that with more instances like this, common-sense and tolerance will reassert themselves

The answer is more simple.
Prepare for the inevitable war between ideologies.
It's now a fundamentalist world as fundamentalist on all sides clash.
Fundamentalist climate deniers, fundamentalist Christians, fundamentalist Islam, fundamentalist Buddhism, fundamentalist conservatives, and in the case of Folau, fundamentalist libertarians, the worst of the evil mix.
It's the latter that must be brought to its knees.

"fundamentalist climate deniers" is as much an oxymoron as scientific consensus. You climate crazies are the fundamentalists, i.e. insisting on a strict literal interpretation of the scripture of your silly new religion

Physics, Chemistry, and many other science disciplines uphold climate science.
Satellites inform us about CO2 and how the Troposphere is warming while the lower Stratosphere is cooling, exactly as scientists have stated. Objective data obtained from sophisticated technology.

But, Folau's views are no different to what many fundamentalist Christians believe. When I was young, preachers tried to scare us with stuff like that.

Temperature is driven by solar activity and the distance/orientation of the earth from the sun. That's science. There's been a steady increase in CO2 since the start of the industrial revolution with no corresponding trend in temperature. Climate craziness is a religion. Folau is entitled to state his beliefs. You have no right to wreck our society and economy by forcing your dumb faith on us.

Dear Grahamy,

I think there is another conversation around where we have taken our society, where consumerism is now king, where hospital patients are now clients, and our pubic institutions are being replaced by corporations.

Is it any wonder why the public, who have seen their political power through their elected representatives ceded to powerful business interests, have started to realise the power of withdrawing custom from a corporation.

I know those who have promoted big business, who have taken money for influence from big business, who have overseen the takeover of public institutions and utilities by big business, and who have sought to secure tax relief from big business might be disconcerted by the public exercising the power of the consumer boycott. Indeed in some instances they have tried to outlaw it. The BDS movement is an example, Gunns legislation another.

The corporatisation of our sporting codes has seen may undesirable things enter into that world. Visually polluting animated signage now distracts from games. The names of our sporting grounds are sold off to the highest bidder, free to air Saturday afternoon AFL broadcasts are a thing of the past, captured by pay TV, corporate boxes elbow out public seats at most of our grounds, and the scourge of betting infiltrates every knook and cranny. The AFL boss now takes home millions of dollars annually.

The public have found that withdrawing custom is an effective tool. I'm not about to blame them for using it. Will there be instances where it will be misused, sure, but those who have made this bed better get use to it.

Yep we have Vegan terrorist who literally destroy business's illegally fined $1 by leftist judges and the homosexual activist hijacking business's like qantas while allowing their co partner Emirates to stone homosexuals and still taking the higher moral ground. The unbelievable irony of this bigotry by leftist is they claim not to believe in God or hell and then claim they are deeply offended by this 'imaginery' place or God. They are so full of hatred for truth they can't see their own hypocrisy.
