"You clearly stated that the "No Tricks Zone" was
one of your favourites. "

Yes, twice. And explained why its a favourite site. It provides links to interesting data. But I always take its opinions with a little more than usual salt.
I guess you can't fathom just going to a site for information rather than opinion since you only go to sites to be told what to think.

"And you further gave us two more conservative links as a back up."
Well no. I gave those links to show why you should be wary of Snopes. Struggling to follow the flow of the discussion?

Just on Snopes,I came across this in my wanderings overnight... http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=Y4WGtjQJVoI

So no attempt to defend going after the messenger rather than the message...about what I've come to expect.

SteeleRedux,

Rather bizarre that you post a spittle-laden attack on Shadow Minister when he hasn't even posted on the thread. Bizarre but very SR.
I especially liked this..."As to notrickszone they are a bunch of shady distorters...".
'They'? 'They' are one person. Its Pierre L. Gosselin's personal blog. Good to see you thoroughly researched the site before unloading on it </sarc>....what a dill.

mhaze,

Give it a rest.

Nobody's buying what you're selling.

Oh yes they are Foxy. It's SR who should go try a new line of work, he's failing at this one.

Dear Hassie,

Nah. Obviously SR is succeeding from the reactions
he's getting.

"Nobody's buying what you're selling."

No one's buying evidence based opinion?

Well we know you're not in the market.

But I'm not selling anything. I'm here for 3 reasons...

1) to have my opinions challenged with contrary evidence. Hope you can join in one day.

2) Offer alternate views to those not yet indoctrinated.

oh...

and 3) to record my current views so I can look back over time to check my accuracy and/or see how my views have evolved. (I currently have almost 2 decades worth of OLO writings. At my leisure I go back and see what I thought of this or that 10 or 15 years ago).

Hassy, there is a first for everything, even for you, finally you got something right "unbiased as Paul". I admit I am as biased as ALL posters on the forum are, even you. I'm sure you have carefully considered voting Labor at the last 50 elections, before casting your vote for the LNP or some far right mob.
