ttbn,

This is the same Sherry Sufi who doesn't like the Australia Day Ad put out by the Meat & Livestock Corporation about Australians being boat people.

I think the ad is great (even being a vegetarian) and I think the guy needs to rethink his views and attitudes and basically get a life.

Watch the ad here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBTWc4i_Fhw

Nathan,

I have no idea. I had never of the man until I read his article.

Sherry Sufi is a controversial character who was
forced to quit as the Liberal candidate for
Fremantle because of controversy over comments he
made about his then boss Michael Sutherland's
South African accent. Sufi's comments were sexually
explicit. He apparently speaks about people in a
vulgar and sexual way (especially women).

He's quite a character who also happens to be against
gay marriage and Reconciliation with our Indigenous
people. He's often a guest on Sky News. and is
associated with the Institute of Public Affairs.

The Liberal Party has distanced itself from him.

ttbn,

Ben Pobjie is a political satirist - and if you can
give us an article by the questionable Sherry Sufi -
then I can certainly quote from a recognised author.

Anyhoo -

I don't need your permission to do that.
And what you think is neither here
nor there. I am not seeking nor do I desire
any validation from you.
And whether you comment on things or not, is of no importance
to me. I usually don't read what you post anyway.
I find you to be somewhat - what's the word I'm looking
for? I guess I'd better be polite - two words actually
come to mind - but on second thought - I'll leave it there.

Must be polite - after all I don't want you fretting or
offending your conservative ideology.

Nathan

Sorry. I forgot to ask: does your comment, "I think he needs to rethink his views and attitudes and basically get a life", refer to the topic, the article, his attitude (which I neither know or care about) to an Australia Day commercial from last year, or to the man himself.

I find that there is no point in saying what you think of the messenger - particularly when it's something he would most certainly not agree with, being quite happy with his "views", "attitudes" and "life" - rather than saying what you think about the message.

You have shown an interest in ways of improving the quality of posts and discussion by sticking to the subject; and the subject here is the content of the article, not who wrote it

Foxy,

No, you certainly don't need my permission or anyone else's to be as obnoxious as you are. You don’t usually read my posts? That's a lie. You were the first to post somebody else's opinion on this post, and you haven't stopped since There is not a poster here you don't stalk and try to cancel with your set pieces lifted straight from Google. No matter who. No matter what the topic. Up you pop. The Wicked Witch of The West. Ugh!

ttbn, did you not once say you were no longer reading the posts of Foxy, Steele or myself. I can't imagine why, considering they are some of the most intelligent posts on this forum.

BTW, I have no problem with your guff, its your right to free expression!
