Poirot

'I don't loath Mr Abbott. I believe he's not really "leadership" material and he's liable to open his mouth before his brain is properly in gear, but that doesn't mean I hold him in major disrepute. '

Oh so we are talking simply about defintions. So pc.

I see that old Mother Russia, Joan Kirner has weighed into the debate on “female debasing”. I had to laugh that entire long while back when Commisarette Kirner was the sock puppet to the Victorian Trades Hall Council.

She gained the premiership due to their factional manipulations and when she tried to balance the state budget the unions called her all sorts of “botches”…lol. I remember the misogynistic banners the unions regularly displayed when protesting her budget cuts .

I remember the images of a frumpy housewife that graced the union pickets even before the press adopted the character. I recall the gender slanted rhetoric at delegate level, encouraged from the top. Unions made her premier, then took it away by not supporting her…the boys hated her and misogyny was a plank to their campaign at grass roots level against her.

The backroom Union Czars now sock puppet Gillard…….and they are running the “Abbott is degrader of women” bullsheiser. Kirner has been an outstanding advocate for women in the Labor party. The Labor party is run by blokes with their roots in the blokey union movement where misogyny is part of the makeup of the inner sanctum of the Union Czars.

Women have a place in the Labor party. The younger ones get to sit behind the PM and look pretty while nodding their heads in unison, and the rest fill in the numbers for a politically correct mix. One has even attained the position of Sock Puppet leader…until the blokes arm gets sore from propping the inept botch up.

Poirot>> As I mentioned, any real effort to cut back in industrial society means a cut in living standards. Most people. therefore, are happy to jump on the "skeptic" bandwagon,<<

P, we have the technology to filter liquid or gas down nothing and capture the toxins...but it costs heaps and the systems management is expensive and ongoing...but it can be done and would cut our environmental footprint dramatically. But it does not happen.

What has happened is that the Green Movement has the consumer paying a levy for purchasing that goes to green credits or some other tradable “commodity”.
A commodities market run by the polluters.

Something like 2% of the globes population own 85% of its wealth, yet they have implemented a global system whereby the 98% pay for the pollution. The 2% majority own and profit from the manufacturing bases that support our modern societies and pollute the globe. They should cut their OBVIOUS and OUTRAGOUS profits immediately by implemented these costly pollution capturing measures. Over the past 40 years the slide of wealth from the majority to the ridiculously few has escalated at an astounding rate. As I mentioned the Silent Spring movement is really silent now that it has new owners, the 2%.

The pollution of our land air and water threaten us all and the money to FIX the problem sits in the bank accounts of 2% of the globes population. P I don’t buy the Green Movement, the foot soldiers are true believers but the generals are financiers.

RObert, quote from runner SLUT, AJ father died of shame, Abbott a history of such.
Mate no one should be spoken of like that .
African Americans have their own insults, one says sex with your mother takes place.
And calling men, or women bitches?
Is there a line? RObert you are talking to a bloke who knows SOME women expect men to have a thing they do not GOOD MANNERS.
But here in this thread and other active ones, attempts to water down behavior from Abbott and his mate Jones, hide Runners ranting bigotry, are disgusting.
Real men need not put women down to prove they are men, the reverse is true.

Dear runner,

You really are a joyless little creature aren't you.

I have held my nose and gone back through some of your posting history and challenge I you to find even one uplifting, positive post because I can't.

For me it is hard to go past the conclusion that you are a hateful person, but what has been reinforced with your 'decency' comment is that you are also appear to be quite spiteful.

I can only personally surmise that exhibiting such joylessness, hate and spite must come from a deep sense of self loathing.

All of us at some time wrestle with this affliction but it is obvious to me it has developed well past what would be considered normal, even in someone as religiously consumed as yourself.

At least the more 'devout' Catholics have the decency to wear the cilice to assuage their deep feelings of guilt and unworthiness, you on the other hand choose to afflict this toxicity on the rest of us.

To paraphrase the good book, 'For what shall it profit a man, if he shall abuse the whole world, and lose his own soul?'

What poison issues forth from your keyboard is done in such an autonomic fashion that to me you are the closest thing to a soulless person on this site.

There are many on OLO I disagree with, sometimes quite strongly, yet there are very few, given a different topic, that I am not able to have an amenable conversation with.

Yet your metronomic responses are predictable, usually bigoted and often vile, whatever the topic.

You need to get a life. Perhaps we both do.

How about you taking a sabbatical from OLO, let's say three months, and I will undertake to do the same. I'm confident it would do the both of us and the forum the world of good.

Do we have a deal?

Great post csteele! Lol .
But please don't give up posting yourself because of Runner. That will only encourage him even more.

I too am not a Gillard fan, but I was impressed with her speech on misogyny in Parliament .
After poor, misguided Margie Abbott's impassioned pleas about her cute and cuddly woman-loving husband earlier in the week, it only served to highlight just how 'misunderstood' by women he really is.

We can all recall Abbott's continuing friendship with men who so obviously have anti-women issues, such as Heffernan, Pell and Jones, who he has never really talked strongly against.
His well known thoughts and attempted actions against giving women the right to some abortion drugs and embarrassing comments on his own daughters virginity were enough to put me off him.

Seeing him standing proudly under banners on TV stating "ditch the witch" and ' Juliar'
, and other very nasty comments, made my skin crawl.
Whether he did or didn't punch the walls either side of a young woman who beat him in a much earlier vote in his Uni was not the issue. The issue was that many people did believe he would be capable of it!

Yes, he is a real 'softy' of a blokey bloke ...
