Dear runner,

So heartening to see you spreading the
love around as a self-proclaimed Christian.

Onya!

Loudmouth (Joe), "As a life-member of the left"

Fair enough.

My main interests are accountability and obtaining value for (taxpayers') money.

Those are not popular subjects.

If I must be categorised, I would put myself as moderate left and moderate right, since on the major issues such as freedom of speech, individual freedom and equality there is (or should be) little difference.

Hi OTB,

Life-member, yeah, although I think I'm on indefinite leave at the moment :)

Hi Runner,

Your irresolvable conundrum:

1. Aussie of the year wants harder penalties for domestic violence.
2. Amnesty wants fewer Indigenous felons in prison.
3. Progressives wants culture to be respected and encouraged.

For once, I agree with Adam Goodes on this one.

Dearest Foxy,

Charm ?

I'd crawl over a mile and a half of broken glass just to hear you spit into an empty jam tin.

Love,

Joe

Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

Save the crawling over glass.

I don't spit into jam jars or tins.
I might drink from them later.

//Aussie of the year wants harder penalties for domestic violence.//

Seems fair. Let's give harder penalties for domestic violence.

//Amnesty wants less Indigeneous in prison.//

Seems fair. They're over-represented in the prison population and it wasn't blackfellas who coward-punched me the other night. It was people of my own culture.

//Progressives wants culture to be respected and encouraged.//

Not when it involves them expressing 'their culture' by coward-punching other whitefellas. If expressing 'their culture' means rituals devoted to the worship of spirits I don't believe in, that is fine.
