Considering what Catholics have done to non-catholics through the ages they can shut the hell up and take it.

So…the Bishop of Canberra has to shut up because Charles V’s court had William Tyndale burnt at the stake?

Is that the logic?

You only have to compare the asymmetrical treatment of the christian minority between the Irish Republic on the one hand and the occupied 6 counties on the other to see that unashamed intra-christian religious bigotry is pretty much a one-way street in the modern age. It’s also amazingly entrenched.
It wasn’t until the late 60′s that David Jones (and many others) stopped including “no catholics need apply” on their job ads. It would be too much, to ask that such bigotry disappear entirely in such a short time.

Okay, I’ve had ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT!
No one complained about the use of the word ghettos in the previous linked article, yet they have a go at me here.
I am FED UP with harassment from people here. Either the moderators do something about it or I’ll be taking the issue to the magistrate’s court.

My point is that whilst China is indeed increasing their renewable energy capacity (of which hydro is clearly the biggest atm), they are increasing their fossil fuel and nuclear capacity at massive rates also. You convieniently left that out because it doesn’t suit your argument.
.

It’s a stupid “point” when the topic at hand is “Developments in Solar Technology”.

As is the wont of the logically-deprived, you try to veer off on a completely “point”less tangent by talking about coal.
Or, if you actually do know what you’re doing in this discussion, you are deliberately trying to misdirect. But I doubt it. The quality of your argumentation suggests you’re not even being that dishonest.

Henry has lost it again.

Touché, haha!

Still, I find it an odd quirk in today’s politically correct world.

In the interests of disclosure I’m a non-practicing Catholic and, while I won’t lose any sleep over Catholic/Christian-bashing, I just wonder why it still seems to be so widely accepted.

Catholic/Christian-bashing, the last, apparently, publicly acceptable bastion of the bigot.

There’s nothing bigoted about pointing out to someone that they’re wrong.

Any anyone who disagrees is moderated out? Really?

Wow.

Remember to criticise the beliefs of protestants too.

Catholics are not the only ones that are mistaken.

Sounds fair. Considering some of the behaviours exhibited by other groups perhaps they can shut up and take it also.

Just sayin’.

Those who want to read more details can find them here:http://about.anu.edu.au/strategy-reviews/financial

On the news tonight, it was said by Education Union reps that this was downsizing by stealth, and someone of the language in the VC’s plans linked to above support that.

For example:
“Should the proposal as outlined here be adopted:

Engage external management consultant – 3 month study, implementation could be up to 2 years”

Implementation up to 2 years?

For something that has arisen with so little notice, seemingly in a panic, there’s a lack of urgency in that when the cuts might not be finished until after the budget period they’re trying to rain in spending for.

It would also suggest they don’t expect the ANU’s financial position to improve. I wonder when they’ll make another announcement in a future year about cuts.
Wielding the axe at ANU. $25 million in job cuts!

For POOKS. Try modelmayhem.com – you can search by location. A lot of really great local models, MUAs and Photographers use this site. Might be able to set up a good list of future contacts too.
I need a plus sized model for an indie photo-shoot.

It seems my original posting didn’t please the RA overloads and wasn’t put online?

In summary, long live the pink-tailed worm lizard

Why can’t you just paste the news without your stupid sarcasm. I’d never heard of the pink tailed worm lizard but am glad that someone is at least trying to get its “back”.

Do you like shark fin soup?

Hard to explain, but this means that God just got a bit more human (or rather, that we more accurately recognised god’s nature). …

I thought it meant that the Church was still decades behind modern social standards and is struggling in vain to remain relevant?

Rather than look at which words I’ve used, you should instead try to look at how I’ve used them. The English language is a wonderful thing, what with the nuances and all.

Perhaps you should realise that the way something sounds in your head is not the way it may look written on the internet?
I mean fancy reading words and assuming they mean what they mean.

When I write words, they mean what I mean them to mean, not what any reader might mean them to mean. Which I imagine is the same for you when you write words!

Therefore, your your take on them says more about you than I.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, a wise man should never argue with an idiot, as onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

As I wise man, this is my last word on the issue.

My time at uni was about drinking beer and meeting girls, I wonder how he is doing in those departments.

Well he’s got a cool box, so the beer situation is probably okay, though he may want to wear some floaties if he plans on getting plastered.

Girl situation? Watch the video in the Canberra Times article, there’s a moment where he and the reporter are sitting next to each other and he comments “This is a bed wear sitting on” with a grin I swear.

Who knows, maybe “Do you wanna come see my teepee” will be a common pick up line at the Moose soon?
