Well Is Mise, you have said it all. Personal experience, when I was a boy, a neighbors child young Michael about 9 years old climbed in through a window of our house, when no one was home, and stole several item including my grandfathers fob watch which was very precious to my mother (all admitted later). According to you if my father had come home unexpected, and hearing noises in the front bedroom, with a gun at hand and believing his life and property may be in danger from a vicious criminal, who could possibly be armed, then dad could have blown young Michael's head off! WOW!
Naturally given the Beach line, the police should not be able to ask questions at all.

Based on your post.

No time for "complex questions"
Young Michael having broken in "must intend you or your's harm, that's the safest assumption"
Shoot first " if you stop to ask them their intentions then it may be too late, you or your's could be dead."
Bad luck kid "It's not up to the victim to ascertain the intentions of an intruder, the intruder has by the action of breaking in declared an intention to cause harm."

You cannot refute this as it is based on what you have said.

Based on what you have said, it may have been unfortunate, but given the circumstances my father would have been fully justified if he had blown young Michael's brains all over the ceiling for stealing a fob watch and a few trinkets. All I can say is WOW!

p/s Constable Clod in the form of OTB would ask no questions of the victim, Dad. All I can say to that is WOW!

Happy ending, because no gun was involved, all young Michael copped for his crime was a kick in the ass from his father, and had to say sorry to my mother, and hand back the goodies.

Paul,

Reductio ad absurdum - who's talking about shooting children ? Let's leave that to your ISIS mates. [Well, they're anti-US, aren't they, therefore, in your child's mind, they must be sort of, like, ..... Good ?]

Although it must be an exciting time to be a Greens Senate candidate, I think you may have misunderstood elementary statistical analysis: the Greens' total vote seems to be down around 10 % on its 2013 total, they may have lost at least one Senator, and they failed in turfing out property-owner Feeney in Batman. Perhaps di Natale's exploitation of au pairs wasn't a good look, not even in the Goat Cheese Circle where good help is so hard to find.

Still, good luck with pre-poll, postals, absentee and overseas votes - they tend to favour the upper end of class, which includes the Greens these days. All those tourists overseas might get your last senator over the line, and help you salvage something from the wreck.

Hi joe,

A friend of ISIS am I.

Your Greens figure are rubbery, just like the ones you produce to justify your constant bashing of Aboriginal people. Am I mistaken to think you have mates among the white supremacists. Were you ever a skin head? Remember the movie 'Rompa Stompa' does it bring back memories, see I can be as nasty as you.

Cheers Paul.

Joe, I would have liked to have perused your website, but unfortunately my anti virus 'Nortons' software described it as "suspect" and recommended it be avoided, can never be too careful as to where rubbish might be on the internet can you. Your website must be like you!

Gosh, Paul, I didn't think I was being nasty, just on the mark, and trying to be helpful. I don't believe in either Islamist or white supremacy by the way. I can't understand where you got any of those ideas: when the next lot of stats on higher education come out, I'll be happy to report rises in Indigenous participation - would you be happy to see them ? or would you make up some mealy-mouthed excuse for attacking Indigenous achievement ?

On that subject, I have to protest the way Indigenous university commencements are reported: the figure of only 1.3 % is used, BUT what is forgotten is that 27 % or so of all university students are from overseas.

So the number of Indigenous students has to be compared to the total number of DOMESTIC students only, not ALL students. On that basis, Indigenous students commencing study make up around 1.75 % of all commencements, two-thirds of them women. 2.2-2.4 % would be parity.

So if Indigenous men commenced study at the same rate as Indigenous women, Indigenous commencements would be getting close to parity. That's happening very slowly, far too slowly. There's a big job yet for universities' Indigenous student recruitment and support programs. I look forward to the day when Support Funds from Canberra are spent appropriately for that purpose.

Sorry for good news, Paul :)

Joe

Hi Paul,

As for my web-site: www.firstsources.info - thank for that opportunity - I've found it on the internet overseas, so you may need some help cfrom your class teacher in using the internet. I suggest that you ask one of your school resource teachers as well, or perhaps a school assistant - if your school has academic advisers, all the better.

Make sure that you spell it right: www.firstsources.info - on the 'Higher Education' Page, you will find a simplified higher ed database: you can move on from there to the complete, adult-version database. On other pages, you can find around fifteen thousand pages of primary data (all free), a missionary's 600-page Journal with new Index, Royal Commission transcripts from all States, key Conference transcripts from the 1960s, maps, Mission letter-books, depot ledgers, a 'Land Matters' page, and so on. Get your mother to slowly take you through it when she is home.

Joe
