Pericles "So the overwhelming opinion of posters here are around 80% think Barnes is a scumbag<<

Yes Col, isn't it interesting that 80% of the responses are ad hominem attacks on the author."

So you would rather waste your time and posting allocation defending the asinine and puerile writings of a scumbag like Greg Barnes and ignore the fair challenge to comment on how Australia rates in comparative racist scales to other nations -

I guess that says alot about the "depth" and "quality" of your posts too or are you just too far up yourself to agree with me?.

Merry Christmas everyone!

And to celebrate both Christmas and the 100th posting on this thread, I am offering some suitable yuletide humour: (see next post)

Why is getting Christmas presents for your kids just like a day at the
office?

Because you do all the work and the fat guy in the suit gets all the
credit.

Loved your joke.

I'm off to Ballarat to deliver a load of presents to my niece and nephew. Trying very hard to wake up.

Guess I'm forfilling the materialistic part of Australianism, however I did do something a bit different this year - I funded a live chicken each on behalf of my niece and nephew as part of Care Australia (overseas aid organisation). My niece & nephew have a certificate acknowledging their live contribution to less fortunate children than themselves. I hope that this way they will feel involved in helping others.

To all a merry christmas.

we should all feel pity for barnsey who seems a very lonely embittered man pining for the fjords (dead parrot style). by chance a friend of mine has looked inside barnsey's diary and this is what he has planned for christmas day:

*4.00 wallow in self-pity

*4.30 stare into the abyss

*5.00 solve world hunger

*5.30 jazzercise

*6.00 dinner with me.....i cant break that engagement again

*6.30 wrestle with my self loathing

*7.00 lie on bed and slip slowly into madness
