Yes the number of N Zealanders coming to Oz must have some effect in the Gov Generals' bunker. But not much. If a guy lands on the beach with a year's supply of baked beans , sleeping bag for the roadside , drinks from creeks and takes zero benefits he may argue in court that he's free from Law . He could claim a beach as his own like Capt Cook did but that comes down to gun barrels as you say.

Taxes and death . In WWI there was anti-conscription and in Vietnam conscription, random boys were ordered to lose their lives without the right to vote. The armies used to shoot deserters which defines what "liberty" really means , a spray-painted type of slavery.

I see from the yahoo picture that it wasn't just a veil this enemy was wearing, it was a body bag. Women who dress in body bags are declaring that any man who can see them will want to jump them and that any woman dressed so she can be seen is inviting sex. Thus the body bag is a demonstrated insult to all men and to all women not wearing body bags. So the sight of a woman in a body bag is offensive to decent people, in the same way that the sight of a bloke displaying a swastika is offensive to decent people.

Now that's no reason to ban such clothing, but it is every reason to regard with total contempt anyone getting about like that.

There are also good reason to hold contempt for a religion which preaches coercion of people who don't believe in it. Not only contempt for the religion, but for the "holy books" that express it, and for anyone who peddles it or has peddled it - all the way back to its desert bandit originator.

Mr Trump is wrong to bar people from the USA based on their place of birth, but he would be dead right looking very hard at anyone seeking to bring into his country a religion that calls for enslavement of non-believers. So should we in Australia.

Amen, amen to that.
" Under the 1559 Act of Uniformity, it was illegal not to attend official Church of England services with a fine of one shilling (£0.05; about £17 $30 today) for each missed Sunday and holy day. The penalties for conducting unofficial services included imprisonment and larger fines. Under the policy of this time, Barrowe and Greenwood were executed for sedition in 1593.

Matthew was one of James I's chief supporters at the 1604 conference and he promptly began a campaign to purge the archdiocese of nonconforming influences, both Separatists and those wishing to return to the Catholic faith.. prominent Separatists were confronted, fined, and imprisoned. He is credited with driving recusants out of the country, those who refused to attend Anglican services.

Brewster is known to have been fined £20 (about £3.89 thousand today, $6000) in absentia for his non-compliance with the church.

William Bradford of Austerfield kept a journal of the congregation's events that later was published as "Of Plymouth Plantation". Of this time, he wrote:

"But after these things they could not long continue in any peaceable condition, but were hunted & persecuted on every side, so as their former afflictions were but as flea-bitings in comparison of these which now came upon them. For some were taken & clapt up in prison, others had their houses besett & watcht night and day, & hardly escaped their hands; and ye most were faine to flie & leave their howses & habitations, and the means of their livelehood."

Paul 1405:

“NNN, I shutter in terror every time ...... good plumbing job and a fair dinkum bill”

You have set the bar pretty high in your attempt to convince yourself that you are not just seeking attention. The effort that went into that post was a sign of someone desperately trying to deny his own behaviour. Trouble is how will you be able to keep it up?

Trying to co-opt NNN into your passive aggressive stance shows another glimpse of how desperate you are to avoid taking responsibility for your disruptive attention seeking.

NNN:

“phanto
You're giving me too much attention. Could you control someone else, good girl .”

It’s no good pleading with me to stop focusing on your attention seeking behaviour. You will have to come up with a better approach than that.

“The comedian was then obliged not to deviate from the act in its edited form ( or " phanto "). "

If you have a problem with my focus on your neurotic need for attention then you should deal with me directly. The way you hide behind cryptic clues is rather cowardly.

phanto
You know a great deal about psychiatric practice and terms. A lot. You have covered most of OLO and outside enemies too. I will write as I wish to write but you are no longer funny.

"«Yuyutsu is in favour of unlimited gun ownership»

UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED.

Once you agree to participate in a society, you need to follow its constitution, which could possibly include the ability of that society to limit your gun ownership, whether by means of laws or by some other means - why not?"

So, to your way of thinking, Muslim terrorists, or any terrorists/criminals who do not recognize our society and its laws can do whatever they like?
