SM,

Nor does it give credence to categorising all teachers or all priests as abusers.

Which is what this thread was set up for, to associate the crimes of a few with a whole culture.

SM,

That was the entire problem in this case.
There wasn't enough information made available.
And as we all know, the tabloid - Daily Telegraph's
reputation is based on distortion.

As for "connecting the dots?" I like this quote given
by Steve Jobs, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder
of Apple Computer and Pixar in his speech to the
graduates of Stanford University in 2005:

"You can't connect the dots looking forwards;
You can only connect them looking backwards.
So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect
in your future. You have to trust in something ...
Your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach
has never let me down and it has made all the difference
in my life."

You connect the dots your way.
I'll connect the dots my way.

Cheers.

Poppycock…… P.

I wrote the thread fuelled by the indignation of finding a blind girl had been sexually molested by an illegal arrival with less than a month’s tenure here, and we do not even know his real name or date of birth. How ludicrous is that?

The premise there is what imbeciles let them into the community. Further to that the chardonnay quaffing Labor acolytes and the Hemp dress wearing Greens have semen on their hands over this act, but do they acknowledge it as an issue……no, they defend the rights of the perpetrator. Wipe your hands P they are dripping.

If it were a Caucasian predator I would have written a thread demanding that the gutless predator should receive the maximum penalty given the cowardice involved in the crime and gone on to bag the week kneed judiciary.

As to the muslim holy man, he examples further that our women are looked upon as less than human, the Germans called it “untermensch” .
You can be touched, handled, and sexually assaulted because muslims deem themselves morally superior because of their religion.

The premise being that whether an interloper or a holy muslim on a tourist visa you chicks are dog meat to them. They are not here to assimilate they are here to take advantage of the “haven’t got the foggiest “ first world social crusaders.

Poiriot , the problem is the religion. The bible has proverbs such as:
If your eye offends you, pluck it out.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Christians and Jews reconsidered the appropriateness of many proverbs as technology changed the way we live.
But there is a huge slice of Islam that believe and follow such absurdities to the letter regardless of how technologically advanced they are.

Somewhere in the Middle East or Pakistan last week a woman was stoned to death and the gathered crowds went back to watch their satellite TV’s after the event.......

Lexi,

As for connecting the dots, I was not asking for you to predict future trends, only make a decision based on past events. And we don't know that the telegraph is based on distortion. While you might not like the opinion pieces, the facts reported are independently checked unlike the left whinge blogs you rely on to confirm your prejudices.

As for being sufficient information, it was enough for the police to arrest him, and for me to once again to make accurate commentary. I wonder how you even manage to get dressed in the morning without enough information to chose your clothes.

SM: I wonder how you even manage to get dressed in the morning without enough information to choose your clothes.

That's not just Lexi. My wife (65) has to get up an hour earlier than me just to figure out what to wear that day & she not even going out, then it's all wrong anyway. ;-)

Poirot: associate the crimes of a few with a whole culture.

The problem isn't the individual. The individual, or most people as individuals, are fine. It'sthe Islamic Mass that is the problem. They have the Group mentality of Lemmings. (See anywhere in the Middle East) Moving to any Western Country will not improve their lot because they drag their ancient Belief System with them wherever they go. (See Europe) That ancient Belief System is a danger to everybody, even themselves.

Does Australia want or need this dangerous & cruel Belief System. NO!

SM,

We've had the MSM discussion many times in the past
and I fully understand your preference for the tabloid
press. It supports your political leanings. Unless news
has not gone down the colon of the MSM - you simply
will not accept it. We get that. However, I wonder
whether once
Rupert Murdoch decides to stop supporting Mr Abbott -
which he may well do as he has done in the past with
other politicians - it will be interesting to see
whether your opinions will change.

You must resist the habit of trying to place your spin
onto other people's opinions. I shall again try to make
things clear for you - that a democracy requires its
citizens to make informed choices and if the citizens
are denied access to the information they need to make
these choices, or if they are given false or misleading
information, the democratice process becomes a sham.
In this case not enough information was given by the
Daily Telegraph and all I suggested was that we wait
until the case was heard in court. You seem to take
this as some sort of weakness on my part. Even
unsulting me personally. That is no way for an intelligent
adult to behave.

Hi Jayb,

I imagine your wife is one great lady.
I suspect she's got great taste. Quality was the obsesson
of my father. His belief in dressing up both the mind and
the body is something I wholeheartedly share. I love
dressing up, even as a child. I used to dream of unashamed
extravagance - Dior couture, a Valentino ballgown;
a witty velvet slipper, designer fragrance, a slip of silk,
small exquisite pieces that are the lynch pins of style
and can change your mood. It's all fantasy - and it was great.
Today, I'm more casual, and a jeans girl. But the fantasy
still lingers and does come out at appropriate times. Dressing
up is still something I do enjoy. There you go.
