There you go again, runner - "Hatred lead many...." blah. blah, blah....

How so "hatred"?

Why ascribe "hatred" as a motivation to people who hold opposing views to your own?

Perhaps it's time for you to "go figure", and examine your own motivation to impugn other posters or people in general when you are making a point. It 's not necessary to insult others to put your own view forward - in fact, if you were as wise as you pretend to be, such behaviour wouldn't even enter your mind.

Suse there is something you forget to mention when you use, Abbott's no sex before marriage, & that is his belief in that as an ideal for all, not just the female half of the population.

Your post suggests that he thinks it should be only one way. If you have some evidence of this please share it.

Although non religious, I was raised to believe in chastity before marriage, & it would have been that way if not for the ladies taking me in hand so to speak.

Still I have a sneaking suspicion that we would be better off with that idea, rather than today, when we see 15 year olds sleeping over with parents permission.

Runner your post is pure insult.
You can in no way know if Abbott took that punch.
And from such an apparently bigoted person as your self the thought all Labor voters are socialists is uninformed.
Abbott will never be PM.
Long ago it was clear he and Gillard ride on each others failures.
Given a choice Australia would pick neither.
It is true, watch it, Abbott,s is pushing his luck within his party, they know,without him victory is certain.
Like it or not Abbott, the real Abbott is being run down not by his past but the present man, negativity and twisted truth.

579, the waste is there to see, so no need for me to elaborate once again.

As for QLD, I am opposed to what CN is doing, or more so, how he is doing it, too much, too soon.

However, he is simply cleaning up an inherited mess, courtesy of years of labor mismanagement. Ring a bell!

Hasbeen, the way Abbott carried cn about the virginity of his daughters before marriage being a sacred thing, and he himself, an ex-priest no less, had been worried he had fathered a child out of wedlock himself!
What a hypocrit!
That was enough 'evidence' for me...

So a man who has principles you disagree with is vile, but a vile woman with no principles is ok?

You would rather have a leader with no principles than a leader with principles you disagree with?

All makes perfect sense to me now!

No wonder the world is so screwed!
