Hey Ginx. You've got my attention. I love your humour on our No.1 eco-vandal, Atomic John - Australia's trooooooo believer.

I'm about 12. Amuse me some more pleeeeese.........?

Mr. Right - "The age of posters on this thread seems to be about 12"?
Welcome.

In my opinion the Wharfies were controlled by THUGS of the worst kind... they needed the only medicine which would treat that cancerous growth on our economny and society.

Big blokes in balaclava's with dogs.. it's simple.. If Warfies want to live by thuggery, they can also 'die'(as a union) by the thuggery method.

I hardly think 'turning the other cheek' would have had the slightest impact on their entrenched, inherited jobs for the boys and other practices..

When it comes to 'the world'.. sometimes it's better (practically speaking) to have the Roman Emperor than the Bishop of Peace.

Romans 13:1-5 does allow however for the Emperor (Christian or pagan) to exercise the 'sword' in deterring the evildoer.

All this pro & anti labor or conservative is getting rather tiresome. The REALITY is as follows;
I'm dreaming all day & the world owes me a living people vote left & gee, better get out of bed & do some work people vote conservative. It's always been & always will be so.
There are a thousand-fold more pressing issues to be addressed. concentrate on finding a solution on those.

An eye for an eye.

Hey Boaz?

And I thought you claimed to be a New Testament kind of guy.

I guess the means don't matter to the truly unethical do they?

Well, soon Bush will join Howard in the quagmire of dubious history and I'll have yet another celebration.

:-D

I quite like Brendan Nelson too!....It seems that some stars shine through the thickest fog!.....not that I am a Liberal supporter by any means, in fact I would be quite happy to see a truly democratic system whereby an individual could afford to run as an Independent candidate without having to rely upon the financial support of a "PARTY" (has anyone ever thought why they call a Political organisation a "PARTY"?)...nonetheless this man has shown a much more humane side to modern day politics and deserves a fair go!

Brendan Nelson, who thrust into the front line of fire, whilst the defeated retired to the rear to regroup (and conspire), is now facing the typical loyalty and support of the PARTY he is and always has loyally represented, and who I would suggest is waiting tentatively for the knives to be plunged fatally into his back, delivered by his comrades at arms who have been busily honing the edges of their daggers, whilst secretively annointing the new Caesar "Julius Turnbull"!
