Shadow Minister,

I'm sure the great majority on The Forum think that you know just about everything there is to know about the Arts things like history, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, philosophy, etc.

The reason being is that they are the same as you, thinking that they also know just about everything there is to know about the Arts things like history, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, philosophy, etc.

So you can all be happy standing around feeding the chickens together: "Here chook chook chook! Here chook chook chook!"

As for me, I'll just have to be happy working with mindless engineers and doing more Arts degrees in order to take my mind off the fact that I have to work with mindless engineers. Such is life.

Mr 0,

Considering that most of your posts are completely fact free and consist of vacuous insults. When you occasionally proffer a position you inevitably cock it up.

What you have shown is that you are a failure at engineering and at history. As for sociology, anthropology etc you have yet to offer any insight whatsoever.

I can only assume that the requirements for entry into your arts degree is that you have a pulse, brain optional.

Shadow Minister,

As long as you are happy being just an engineer that is all that should matter.

For me I always thought being an engineer was beneath me so I consider being a failed engineer a real godsend.

"And then, amid the dismal suppression of freedom and the economic lunacy now gripping the world, came a sudden shaft of light. The High Court of Australia overturned the verdict and freed Cardinal Pell.” (Peter Hitchens UK)

Hitchens argues that the High Court’s finding that the Pell jury and the Victorian appellate judges were clueless about the doubts they should have recognised is a frightening indictment of a system open to vigilantism by the media (in this case, by the ABC) and increasingly rigged to favour the state.

Dear Shadow Minister,

"3- it was clear that a crime was committed, whereas with Pell it was not."

I'm sorry but by your own standard OJ is innocent and no crime had been committed. Please try and be consistent.

Peter Hitchens is one of those rare types I liken to the skippers of world-class ocean-racing sailboats as they head into the wind, constantly tacking in the raging waves from port to starboard and back with remarkable agility and rapidity.

He is a caustic critic with sharp, penetrating vision, quick to react, alternating from an initial position of enthusiasm to one of antagonism, or vice versa. The problem is he is a bit short-sighted and often obliged to revise his judgment, swinging radically in the opposite direction when he suddenly realises it.

He joined the Labour Party when he was young and the Conservative Party later in life, only to leave that after a few years as well. He then described himself as a social democrat and, simultaneously, a Burkean conservative. He also used to be an atheist and later became a Christian and a member of the Church of England.

At least Hitchens’ criticism of George Pell’s conviction is consistent with his defence of the late Bishop of Chichester, George Bell (not Pell), from allegations of child sexual abuse. Hitchens declared that the Church of England convicted Bell (not Pell) in what he described as a kangaroo court.

Unless, of course, Hitchens has confounded George Pell with George Bell and, sometime later, takes the radical decision of tacking in the opposite direction.

Let's face it, that head-on wind can be a bit tricky to navigate – even for seasoned skippers of Peter Hitchens’ calibre, piloting world-class ocean-racing sailboats …
