  1. Just checked on Kafka-born in Prague. I await your apologies.
  2. Howard is a Northern Sydney solicitor who fell into the leadership of Australia due to the fact that Labor had done its job of solidifying our economic potential into a reality. He was a coat tugger and a [censored] who got lucky. How you can lump in Obama with him is beyond reason. Blair was a toad,Bush was a moron,Clinton was a genius and. Netanyahu was a human tick, still is. Barack will be ranked along side Lincoln and Franklin as a giant in years to come.
  3. I've been to Vienna many times. Mostly on my way to Budapest. I thought Franz Kafka was From Prague. There is the minuscule chance I could be wrong.
  4. We need another expensive session .
  5. There is no such thing as "too hard" does not exist in a warrior kings mentality. There is no defeat-we have only run out of time to emerge victorious. Jones understands this.
  6. Say what you will about The Briiish Deits. But they won. Twice. Move on slowly like the many futile overs you bowled.
  7. Main thing is.... There is still a place for people to be weird."
  8. This Danny Corcoran fella is a genius. Really knows how to run a football club- into the ground. I have little sympathy for any of them. His call of PTSD demeans soldiers and those who have experienced real trauma or grief. What JH experienced was a total loss of respect and credibility stoked by an ego that has never been in check. I noticed his egotism when I first saw him interviewed. His ego took him right up but he wasn't ready for the fall. A total lack any introspective insight leads to insanity or prison , or worse.
  9. Seems we have some inconsistent arguments . But at least we are speaking in Latin and not Arabic.
  10. Croatian actually. If we are splitting hairs.
  11. Sounds like just another night in Sydney Rd Ethan. The best way to escape embarrassment is to picture them all naked. And pretend to enjoy the music.
  12. They encourage the children to think outside the square . Then they [censored] them if they do. It's a uniquely German approach to innovation.
  13. You would think so but it's attracted many willing to see it unfurled.
  14. It's pure capitalist propaganda DC. there have been way more than 50 serious crimes at the Gat. Looks likeScott Cam and co are trying to push out the elite so Dee Jolly and the other tasteless bogans can ruin the joint with their faddish deco. Bourgeois scum!
  15. Xin. Chau Chairman Dee. I have just been awoken by the voice of communist radio and big sister!!! Bbos joke would fall very flat here. Nodody talks out of turn. You would love it! Also , you can crack a beer in the AM without a batted eyelid in sight! Gotta love the commos. Ive had a chance to speak some terrible French already . On the flight over I learnt more about the Silk Road. There are pots and jars from the Middle East found in an excavation here that dates back to 8th C! Still no huge take up of contraception in Saigon judging by the traffic. And the other news I can report is that I'm a mutli- millionaire . Ive been grasping my Dong with unrestrained joy!
  16. Our Bitter correspondent has asked me to inform you that he is taking a week off to practice his diction and cultural awareness. It seems a typo made in poor taste has offended someone worried in case of somebody getting offended. Bitters was guilty of stereotyping our Asianneighbours ability to pronounce the letter r. I suppose the decades he's spent teaching Asian children English must have been interspersed with some Hey Hey it's Saturday!! I did buy lunch at a shop called " wok and lol" today and funnily enough it was busy with customers and not a single placard in sight. In conclusion I think the punishment is just for such an archaic evocation. I expect he will be flagellating himself vigorously in contrition.
  17. I hope we are not going to play unsociable football. Weve taken years to build up an image of being absolute wimps.
  18. You accused me of creating stereotypes and caricatures. Ive been as eloquent as possible on an iPhone4 with a cracked screen. Numerous red herrings have been posted whenever I might actually have a surprising truth to add to the discussion. Im not obsessed with anything or concerned about winning the debate . You guys win. White invader bad Muslim invader good. No grey areas. Im going to get a souvlaki.
  19. You really are clutching at straws. "Jumble of Claims" indeed. I'm over the argument because Ive presented historical facts and you come back with allegations of racism , though slightly veiled. I think I've won the discussion. Choke,Deiter,Yourself and Stuie keep bringing up race all you like which shows your ignorance of What was an international trading zone . Youve all made false claims and historical inaccuracies in a race to discuss race. It's a boring cop out when we have been discussing the many races involved and I have acknowledged the barbarism on all sides of history . This childish finger pointing at presumed slurs is demeaning to us all. I have never tried to get personal here because those of you on the "Biff is racist" ticket are not worth the steam. I doubt you would know my ethnicity and it's totally irrelevant to what became a discussion of history.
  20. ANB will stick it right up a few this year . By that I mean prove the doubters wrong.
  21. I defer to your superior sense of historical knowledge and wisdom. Every assertion I've made has historical evidence to back it. On your first bold point - you mentioned " the new world " which I took to be the Americas. On your second, in relation to my historical theory, you tend to obscure the method of torture and those killed and forcibly converted with the numbers. I think the numbers of lives ruined is central to the conversation and the methods of barbarity are more illustrative only as to the seperate organisations unique styles. The crusaders never approached the same scale as the Muslimen(Ottoman standing army) not a racist term. Also my contention was originally to do with English/ Middle Eastern contact not Spanish / Middle Eastern civilisations that may have been in contact for centuries prior. You can keep trying to portray me as an intellectual oaf if you wish .It doesn't bother me as long as I encourage others to read up and contribute sensibly as you generally do.
  22. The records back up my point . Christians actually did record the trials and deaths,punishments, their outcomes. As DC pointed out it is tenuous to link the inquisition with the Crusades although both involved Spain. Keep defending Islam though- who needsfacts or truth? Still haven't found any enlightening achievements made by the various Warlords- Sultans. Find me something they did or have I finally destroyed this myth of civility and achievement falsely credited to the Islamic Turkish rolling conquest known as the Ottomans. It would be wise for you to admit that the the great Christian crusades were a tame imitation of the horror committed in the name of Allah. The British succeeded in ending 800 years of rape, murder and death to non- Muslims. Islam built a few domes and is now in Suicide mode.
  23. A communications engineer has told me that Telsta is overcharging the NBN access its infrastructure and pits, which are full of asbestos and disconnected lines. Privatised Telstra is now destroying its own competition through arbitrage and sabotage.
  24. Can anyone research what a Jannisarie soldier did? Also hard to find any peace for Christians in Yugoslavia. Christians there were not aloud to ring bells,be the first to sleep with their wife, ride a horse or have a nice house. The stronger boys were converted to Islam and made into fervent "Ottomans" under Islam and the Turks. They would return later to claim their lands for Mohammed and kill their own parents . The Devrishme was a similar brand of Ottoman- stolen child soldiers from closer to Stambul. Jews were exempt and first born sons exempted .So kind.
