Paul

this was one reason why your mate Flannery thought Chamberlain was guilty

''Her religion was one factor. The Chamberlains were Seventh-day Adventists and media reports of the strange practices of their "cult" (as we were led to think of it) included inferences of child sacrifice that did not strike me as beyond belief. At the time I was one of many Australian scientists fighting to keep creationism out of the classroom, and fundamentalist beliefs were seen as the enemy.'

sheer ignorance did not stop this professor from making a wrong judgement. Mind you he wasn't alone. And to his credit he apologised much later after the innocent woman spent time behind bars.

Foxy,

"Is Mise,

No, Cardinal Pell was convicted not because he
was suffering from a psychiatric disorder but
because he was found guilty of having sexually
abused children. It was the act that was a
crime."

What do we call a desperate fox?

Steely, NOBODY gives a sh!t about your nobel prize winners.
Stop trying to attract attention to yourself, by trying to make a failed point.
You try to push nobel prize winners, where as I try to expose nobel LOSERS!
What you don't want to hear is that we have the highest number of nobel LOSERS per capita in the world.
Steely, you really fu&#ed up big time by comparing Australia with Italy.
Anyone want to take this one?
It's the best chance you're gonna get to rub Steely's face in it.
Step in any time, in the meantime let me enlighten you, oh moronic one.
Italy and therefore Italians have given the world most of what you and your moronic mates enjoy today, as a matter of course.
Australia on the other hand has given us, randomly listed:
Thieving, lying, vial, dishonest, deceitful politicians.
Ignorant, un-informed, mis-informed, arrogant and entitled public.
The cost of living way beyond anything reasonable.
Laws so many and so flawed, all designed for the convenience of the legal system, and putting the public at a very serious and compromised position, with the key factor of extracting money from people and absolutely no intention of curbing anything which may hurt or injure the people or compromise property, especially when it involves abo's. The people would rather watch sports than discuss the wrongs being perpetrated around them.
They would rather turn up the sports and crack another 'tinny' than actually give a sh!t about the crap going on around them.
Don't try to do something new or innovative, you'll get knocked back, where other countries, US,NZ etc. will offer you help, not here.
We are getting seriously gouged on our cars, now that they managed to shut down or piss off car making here, you would think we could start importing whatever we wanted, well the lobbyists got to piss in their Canberra mates ears and now we are facing the introduction of a 25 year old rolling date for second hand imports.
There's heaps more, but this'l do for now.

Issy, I'll bite.
What DO we call a desperate fox?

Is Mise,

You ask 'What do we call a desperate fox?"

There's so many favourite children's fox fables.
That you may enjoy.

We can call him - Dax Jones - Dax was an average kid who
shape-shifted into a fox and became the character of the
Shapeshifter series by Ali Sparkes. Then of course we
can call him The Fantastic Mr Fox (by Roald Dahl). Then
there's the Fox in Sox by Dr Seuss - and many, many more.

I'm sure that the librarian at your local library can help
you with even more suggestions.

Foxy, I believe Issy's question is simple enough, and seeing as you are so well read and an authority on everything, as you continually demonstrate and repeatedly, on most topics, I believe there might be a few of us waiting with baited breath to hear your pearls of wisdom you will bestow upon us with your answer to Issy's question;
What do we call a desperate fox?
Think back now, I know you have come across the answer to this very question in the mountain of literature you have 'fingered' through during your long and exemplary career as a librarian.
The answer must relate, to the question, word for word, and not as a generalization such as you have already offered in your previous response.
Or perhaps some others would like to offer their thoughts on this question too?
Now this IS fun, a little levity for a change, Hmmmmmm?
