Again, runner? When was I wrong before?

<<again wrong AJ.>>

You’re jumping all over the place here. Are you capable of just sticking to, and exploring, one accusation at a time here? Sheesh, you’re like a kid with ADHD.

<<Very good analogy.>>

Okay, this is where you were also supposed to explain why it was a good analogy. You don’t know why, do you? You’re just going to assert that it was, despite my explanation as to why it wasn’t.

I’m still waiting for your example of my “misrepresenting Scripture”, too, by the way. Or have you given up on that one already?

<<Its amazing that a city could be named after such a racist bigot.>>

Not really, given that virtually everyone those days was racist. However, not all racists discovered the mechanism by which life evolved.

<<He is still revered by god denies despite his pseudo science leading to much racism.>>

Again, racism is discredited by evolution. So is eugenics. This is the Association fallacy again.

<<Evolution is a fantasy.>>

Still waiting for your opinion on the video, too. Or have we given up on that one as well?

Attended the local 6 o'clock ANZAC Dawn Service this morning, as we do every year. Good to see lots of ethnic people there, along with the ttbn approved persons. Our Kiwi daughter makes a special effort to get the two grand kids up and drive the 10km to be there with us, and have a coffee later.
ttbn you show your ignorance about Kiwi's, like Muslims I suppose there are not that many at your aged care facility, for you to get to know them. What there is, is only good light heart'd rivalry between the two countries, particularly at sport, but we can always count on each others when needed. A Kiwi friend of ours, a Maori bloke, leaves home about 3am and makes the trip every year by public transport from his home in the western suburbs to the east for another lpcal dawn service, all he has to do is spend a few minutes as the singer of the two National Anthems. He finds it a great honor to be invited to do so, and well worth the trip.

In a multicultural, politically correct Australia, Anzac Day is now a sick joke and an insult those Australians who fought for what has been ripped off us by a nasty, Left elite, which stands for nothing.

Ttbn,

I don't use the term 'racist' often but I have to do so in relation to your comments about Senator Gichuhi. She has as much right, as an Australian citizen, to stand for election as Tony Abbott, Penny Wong, Sussan Ley, and half a dozen other current MPs. In SA, Lynn Arnold and Mike Rann - okay, they were Labor premiers - both served, and had the right to serve, as State premiers. Do you have any other grounds for disdaining Senator Gichuhi other than race ?

Inclusive MC: surely, if people are permitted to come to Australia they should have the right to become citizens. And if they become citizens, that they should be able and encouraged to participate in everything that makes 'us' Australian ? Surely we don't want a situation in which groups of people, who have been invited or permitted to live in Australia, are permanently shut out, or to feel shut out ? What the hell good does that do for anybody ?

As long as they agree to abide by the principles of democracy, the rule of law, the separation of religion and State, the recognition of the freedom of expression and opinion, the equality of men and women - i.e. 'Australian values', then of course we should welcome them as full, equal, Australian citizens.

And of course, anybody should be able to speak whatever the hell language they like, to eat what they like, dress how they like as long as it's decent, mix with whomever they like, worship or not as they like ? I'm totally in support of inclusive MC, and totally opposed to exclusivist MC, for any 'cultural' or ethnic group. The trick is to manage that distinction.

Ttbn,

Wow. You should put that on a T-shirt and see how many people you can piss off in one go :)

ttbn,

My first (recent) comment, was in relation to things unique to Australia, my second, the wordings of a song that many connect to and to some, now deeply want this song as Australia's National Anthem.

If your comments on ANZAC Day are anything to go by, I am not trying to gag you or shut you up, I am simply asking you to put a case forward on this topic that has a sound base to it.

Also your recent words in relation to Senator Lucy Gichuhi are also nothing short of vile. If you truly believe in what you have said about the Senator (online), why not have the courage to send a letter to the Senator in the post with your real name and address attached to it?

You can read the response. It may encourage you to reconsider your position on this topic.

Finally, I did say in an earlier post: "To be fair, you are entitled to take the stance you have...." This time though, I think you have gone way too far and I take that all back.
