Suse,

Re: Loudmouth.

He's always given Poirot some "special" treatment.

Eg...

"SM, you said "small words" ! Some of the words you used had four and even more syllables: 'confidentiality' for instance. How do you expect a up-herself half-wit like Poirot to understand those ?!"

(And that was on one of his more courteous days.)

So, yes, I would put him in the same receptacle as otb

Lol!

Dear Is Mise,

I had every intention of leaving this discussion
but then there were remarks made about me
personally that I simply could no longer ignore.

My views as far as this discussion is concerned
are quite clear so there's no point in re-stating
them.

As for your questions regarding the last time
a police woman was raped? I don't have the statistics
for that - because I don't think that the Australian
Bureau of Statistics or the Department of Criminology
lists female rapes by the
professions of the female victims. However, you can
Google the Australian Defence Force female cadets -
whose rape allegations are currently under investigation
by the ADF. There may be some interesting things you
could learn from that.

As for allowing an elderly lady to have a gun to protect
herself. That's not my decision to make - but those of
the people who would assess her - prior to granting or not
granting her the licence to carry the handgun.

Dear Suse,

No I haven't seen the article so Thanks for that.
I'll go and read it tomorrow - I'm a bit tired
at the moment - had a very busy day.
Again Thanks for the reference.

Foxy,

Interesting how you are forever in for some verbal biff against any poster who challenges your opinions, but you cannot answer some simple questions that have been put concerning that flakey gun control site you linked to, for instance.

Suseonline,

Your attitude and values were expressed in your first post on the thread. To quote,

"If this rapist was raping men, he would never get out of jail."

Poirot,

Dear Old Tin of fruit, it cannot always be about you. You jealously guard the stage for yourself in so many threads, even if that is by endlessly repeating the same line. Nice try here with your,

"<Poirot, "Erk!...unless his name is Rupert Murdoch.">

Your 'Three (authoritarian Left) Amigos' act with Suseonline and Foxy/Lexi/? has played too many stages and is over-exposed, as is your over-done 'I am a Lady' act,

Anyhow, doubtless Foxy/Lexy/? and the equally unrepentent Suseonline can sally forth knowing that regardless of whatever evidence is provided, their opinions will never be affected.

It does take a lot of hands over eyes and ears and "La la la la", but hey, that is part of the game you play, eh what? All of that practice over so many years posting the same old, same old, and cut and paste as well. LOL

There you go, another thread disrupted just as you wished. The Three (authoritarian Left) Amigos take pride in that and do it well.

Foxy,

No one is asking you to make a decision on whether the 70 year old may have a gun to protect herself, I'm asking you your OPINION on whether she should be given the means of saving her life against a young, fit male intent on rape and/or murder.

Do you think that she would be morally justified if he attacked her and she, fearing for her life, killed him?

You said "As for allowing an elderly lady to have a gun to protect
herself. That's not my decision to make - but those of
the people who would assess her - prior to granting or not
granting her the licence to carry the handgun."

That's not possible in Australia because fearing for one's life is not a reason to have a firearm, self-protection from violent criminals is not a reason either; if you are going to argue the toss, or give advice, at least get a nodding acquaintance with the law.

".....Nice try here with your,

"<Poirot, "Erk!...unless his name is Rupert Murdoch.">"

Why thank you, otb.

It was in response to some naive joker making this comment:

"Just to add and to underline the point, Australians do not appreciate foreign interests interfering in their domestic politics...."
