Poirot,

<<...at least he's not your garden variety ...>>

Talking of garden variety types --we may not be hearing from Pericles for a while-- I've heard that while he was dozing on the front lawn of Château de Pericles between posts (or, was that between ports?). Anyway, while he was dozing in his garden a squad from the Garden Gnome Liberation front, mistaking him for a victim, kidnapped and carried him off. They later released him in the nearby forest but he hasn't as yet been able to find his way out.

Apologies I have a lot to do --I shouldn't be wasting time like this.

Cheers

This is from a few months back, but it is an interesting perspective that sometimes the crimes are against refugees...

"Ms Riley said Mr Hussain had enjoyed celebrating his first Christmas "Australian style" despite his Muslim faith."

Like racism, not everything is black and white.

Except Collingwood FC.

It is a struggle, getting one simple concept into your skull, Philip S. But I guess someone has to do it.

>>Pericles - Quote "It is a cowardly and uncivilized act," You must have a warped sense of reality when stating proof that a government has lied is what you claim a "cowardly and uncivilized act"<<

The cowardly and uncivilized act has nothing to do with identifying politicians' untruths. They do it all the time. They even tell lies in writing, and sign their names to it.

The cowardly and uncivilized act is to use a few random facts to fan the flames of bigotry, and in doing so incite your fellow-travellers to unburden their shrivelled souls into a bucket of fear and loathing.

But you already knew that, didn't you.

Pericles - The Government claimed less than 5 refugees had committed crimes further questioning brings that number to MORE THAN 300

You wrote Quote "a few random facts" when a few random facts equal difference more than 300 crimes that is a big issue. Except to anyone except do gooders and refugee advocates.

Would you be happy to have even a small proportion of that number as your neighbors.

IT also has to be noted you are still unable to dispute the facts, even the fact that only 10 to 15% only are checked properly.

As stated before talking to you is like having a discussion with a brick wall.

Amazing, Philip S.

>>IT also has to be noted you are still unable to dispute the facts, even the fact that only 10 to 15% only are checked properly.<<

It still hasn't sunk in, that I haven't been disputing the facts, as you call them, at all. I have instead been commenting on the way that you have been using these particular facts to stir up fear and loathing.

Blind Freddie etc.

Pericles - So what you are telling people is you can not dispute the FACTS but because I inform people about them I am Quote "stir up fear and loathing".

So what you are saying every news presenter who reports a story or newspaper that prints a story is to quote you "stir up fear and loathing".

Your logic here is so far beyond belief, I have to doubt your sanity, as one criteria is knowing the difference between right and wrong.
