Dear Shadow Minister,

You had mentioned "16th Century puritan interpretations
and values" in an earlier post.

I recently came across an interesting article on
that period. It stated that "it is difficult to
empathise with those people so in turn we judge
them". People like Henry VIII for example.

The
mentality and morals of another era often makes
it difficult to either understand or identify with
those people. We often hear the phrase, "They were
people of their time". Yet we often forget that
we are people of our time. The article pointed out
that no doubt in another 500 years no one will be
able to fathom us out either. Likewise we will be
judged and no doubt found wanting. We are all products
of our time and within our time we cope as best we can
with whatever life throws at us.

It sometimes pays to remember that before making
judgements on others.

Foxy,

I don't disagree with you at all, I just fail to see what point you are trying to make.

I try to avoid obscenities, but don't sanitize my speech to exclude words that are common parlance, but if misinterpreted could be slightly offensive.

Dear Shadow Minister,

If using words like:

despicable old tart who couldn't give a crap.

loathsome degenerate.

arrogant troglodyte.

And comparing her to Pol Pot.

Is normal speech for you.

There's nothing more left to say.

For real obscenity, acts and omissions that grossly offend against morality, how can the elephant in the room be missed, which is the shabby treatment of the QUT students and Bill Leak by the AHRC and Triggs?

If only there were any real Left around.

Foxy,

Your faux outrage lacks even a shred of credibility. I have not heard one peep from you when left whinge posters say even worse things about conservative politicians.

The whole reason for the thread is the Orwellian award (from a far left whinge organisation) for defense of free speech to a person that has made it her business to use the state to punish people for speaking freely.

That Triggs' tenure of the AHRC has been a debacle that would make Trump blush replete with blatant bias, incompetence, outrageous posturing, and outright dishonesty makes her unwavering supporters look like hypocritical dullards.

I can only imagine the wild cries and outrage from left whingers if the replacement for the pretentious scoundrel Triggs wavers even a jot from the requirements of the job.

Dear Shadow Minister,

You, as far as I am concerned have no credibility
whatsoever.
