‘morning Poirot,

You said <<I thought I'd give this thread a wide berth - realizing it would be swimming in odium>>.

Come on now Poirot, have you forgotten your basic chemistry?

Two parts of 0P2, dissolved in one part fairy liquid produces a volatile mix of nonsense (Ne2), Odium (Od/r), Vehement Denial (Vd -33.33% recurring) and the residual of the wide beam Berth displacement (Archimedes 2nd law), and “A Poirot dissolved soft warm platitudes” is equal to the inverse proportional displacement of a mass equal to but not greater than the rhetorical intellectual capacity of a feminist.

Therefore;

Odium.

Ne2 (1+ alpha t) = Vd divided by .33r X Poirot’s girth in cms squared, + I (intellect in 0.0001 of a degree) X the square root of M x (the M mass) of a stationary object between the ears.

(Alpha being the volume co-efficient of a natural state of inertia in a vacuum)

Don’t you just love maths?

(: or ^W^ for batty.

Hi there POIROT...

Your derogative comments apropos anyone who chooses to oppose your personal beliefs in this matter is a little disingenuous I would've thought ? Personally I believe Australia has done it's fair share of the heavy lifting concerning refugee arrivals. The current policy of terminating these unanticipated boat arrivals is both strategically correct and in my opinion humane, given the number of drowning's at sea !

Though it's been discussed ad nauseam, many of these boat arrivals, first made a conscience effort to engage in deceptive conduct in an attempt to impede the authorities from establishing their correct identity, country of origin, even their overall bona fides. Subsequently many have since been repatriated back to their country of origin. Those found to be genuine refugees, have been allowed to stay after appropriate enquiries have established their legitimacy.

I would have thought even the most ardent Socialist would've considered the safety of Australia, it's population and her interests, to be wholly central to this issue. And the government would be failing in their overall responsibilities by allowing 'anyone' into this country without first examining their claimed (refugee) bona fides ?

I accept POIROT that you have no truck with the present government, and that's your right. But when it comes to (any) government manoeuvre calculated to provide for the overall safety of this country and it's peoples, it MUST surely invalidate any personal political bias ?

I couldn't imagine anybody reading this, while 'seething' away to such an extent they became so warped of mind, so contorted with utter loathing, they sit before their computer, spewing and gushing out abhorrence and vituperation towards those who just happen to have an opposing view. Particularly on such a vital (apolitical) question of our very own security in the region. After all apart from the Kiwi's, we have no real friends in our region, we're simply isolated ?

So I'm sure you see my reasoning POIROT. I know you've got the intelligence to tease out the facts from the crap ? Certainly the POIROT that I know and respect !

don't worry Poirot's attacks increase as Abbott's popularity goes up. Not sure what the scientific name for this is.

G'day there Prof. SPINDOC...

Pray tell me what on earth are you saying ? I left school in 1956 having successfully passed my Intermediate Certificate, including Maths ?

According to a CNN report just in looks like Malaysia is going to assist in settling those aboard the boats. They have asked for help in doing so. My hope is that unlike the weeping, baying, and gnashing of teeth coming from certain posters on this thread the Australian government will offer generous support.

o sung wu,

"I couldn't imagine anybody reading this, while 'seething' away to such an extent they became so warped of mind, so contorted with utter loathing, they sit before their computer..."

Sorry to disappoint you, but I was far from "seething" when I wrote my short comment. After all, the majority of comments on this thread unfolded exactly as I surmised they would. Ergo - I was anything but "warped of mind" or emotion for that matter. As I mentioned, I avoided this thread for the very reason that I've read it all so many times before.

".....spewing and gushing out abhorrence and vituperation towards those who just happen to have an opposing view..."

Ugh?...excuse me if I have a laugh at that one - considering the spewing, gushing out of abhorrence and vituperation daubed up and down this thread from the usual subjects.

Seems it's all fine and dandy for you fellas to post "opposing views" like that one of runner's to Suse, which went:

"Yea fits your dirty little narrative Susie..."

Lovely stuff, I think you'll agree, o sung wu?

I'm sure you were quick out of the blocks to critique that little gem of seething, utter loathing, abhorrence and vituperation.

No?

Why am I not surprised.
