ALTRAV, you could ask your mate Harvey Weinstein, but unfortunately for him, but good for his victims, Harvey's gone off to the slammer. Still think he's innocent? If you think Pell and Harris are the poor victims of nasty little children, then Weinstein is just another misunderstood victim as well.

Shadow, you are full of it! One third of reported sexual assault complaints in Australia are not proceed with. Mate being a man of claimed "legal letters" or some such crap, you should know that Mr Shadow Minister QC.

Paul, so let me get this straight.
According to you if some sheila accused you of some sexual depravity, which in your case with a misguided and depraved attitude like yours, you will at some stage either said something abhorrent to some woman, or have yet to, even though you did not intend any harm or compromise, and she reports you, and you get charged with an offence under one of the many stupid female biased laws, are you going to be screaming; "but I didn't do anything", as they drag you off kicking and screaming that your innocent?
So imagine then the number of men who have been accused, wrongly, because of some bent and twisted bitch with mental, social and emotional issues, which we know are part of a woman's psyche.
Paul I think you had better check your membership to the "Me Too" maggots club, you would not want to let the misguided maggots down, they need more soft cocks, neuters and jelly brains to help them keep up their egregious and unsavoury movement, if for no other reason than they are just plain sick and twisted and looks to match, and can't 'pull' a guy even if they paid them.

ALTRAV, how does one respond to the ravings of a lunatic, one cannot. I thought you were concerned that those of some importance may well be reading your "words of wisdom". I see the maggots, soft cocks, neuters and jelly brains, are getting a good airing from you once more. Now who needs medication I ask?

ALTRAV, let me make this observation, I believe some months of confinement in a trusted sanatorium, with treatment for the ague both physical and mental that obviously beset you could be most beneficial to your health in the longer term. May I recommend the 'Fairy Fruitcake Sanatorium' in Dillsville as a worthy establishment for the treatment of a case as severe as yours.

Good Tidings Old Chap.

Some consideration needs to be given to the psychiatric perspective on all of this.

During one of the earlier middle east conflicts, an american pilot flying escort for a convoy of poms, whilst under the influence of amphetamine snapped and attacked and "crispy crittered" the lot of them.

Some peoples physiology, upon exposure to traumatic levels of stress, and or substance for example, cannot cope and their minds shatter and they are plunged into an altered state of consciousness.

Do not underestimate the power of altered states to compel otherwise good people to do horrific things.

A truly evil person would kill and then walk.

Sane people only very rarely and in the most challenging of circumstances take their own lives - e.g. in cases where they reckon that, and to quote Spock, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

In this most horrific of cases, and if I am not mistaken, in the lead up to this it was reported that this persons behaviour and the things he was saying were becoming increasingly erratic and giving the people around him cause for concern. But not a one of them had the nous to call the P.E.T. team.

It's all very well to have this service or that but if people don't know what to do during the lead up to crisis then you may as well not have any services at all.

Considering the gun problems in n.america, my view is that one of the conversations that has to be had over and over, so that everyone understands clearly, is when is it ok to shoot someone? When is it ok to be violent? As plainly, part of the problem is is that a lot of people have their own view on that, and plainly not everyones' view accords with the law.

But as long as you do not practice outreach, how can we hope that we will all achieve appropriate understanding
