There is an article in response to Waleed Aly in the Age from Paul Monk. It was in the Politics section with a small headline,now gone. It suggested Islam needs an enlightenment and that Waleed draws a long bow in blaming Colonialism for ruining the institutions that made Islam become what is is today. The Age has moved the article to its nether regions but in the interests of balanced reading it is a must. Aly persists with the idea that the Christian reformation was a bloody rampage killing 5-15 million people. Monk is a polymath ,one of Australia's most formidable public minds but probably cannot play any Pink Floyd solos.

So I'll throw out your books along with Hunter S,William Boroughs,Kerouac,Miller,Mailer and any other decent American writer from last century. Don't worry about the meek-they'll inherit the earth later.

We are young. Heartache to heartache we stand No promises No demands.

They are a very entertaining bunch. Like watching puppies play in a box. Except there is no way to give tham an electric shock. As you do.

May I just mention what a privilege it is for you all to have me contributing to this site over the years.

It may be just Chinese whispers but... Apparently Martin threatened Won-ton violence,

it's only a rort if you are not involved. But at last we are.

Often i have to read other peoples replies before giving consideration to my own. Is there a "monologue" feature where i can just delete answers I dislike and carry on like i know everything there is to know on any given subject?

This is a photo of Jim Norton. An extremely disturbed American comic.

Gil might be looking for a job at FIFA. If that fails it's Polo-the peoples game.

It's in every Melbourne players contract that a promising first year must be followed by a year injured.

As a teen he was very fond of the jab. Under Hirdy it was mandatory.

May I just remark,in approbo of nothing,that I have done the old Walrus with the chopstix several times and it has never failed to raise at least a titter. Must have been a very tough room. Still ,Dustin has time to work on his culturally insensitive gags at ethnic restaurants. There are a myriad of different peoples to offend in Melbourne which contributes to the pleasure of eating out. One only hopes he can find a more receptive audience in his next culinary expedition.

Women in this country received the vote before women in any other nation, except perhaps NZ. Sister.

The difference between swerving into a crowd of people and causing mass carnage and driving calmly down the road is huge. It is a ridiculous assertion that a threat of violence should carry the same penalty as an act of actual violence. The topic is now a farce. Burn Dusty Martin at the stake.He's a witch. Never happened at Ging Wah in my day! Kill him,get him,yeah get him!

Dawes will be lucky to get a game. Harmes is already above Dawes. Dawes is finito.

From the keeper of the key. Also ,being a moderator ,probably not your concern but your comments on a topic start to get as obsessive as any other fruitcake on here. Back on topic, Is the beef industry not more culpable for pollution than fuel emissions ?

On cage fighting-for me it is too much even to watch the men beat each other on the ground, Equality means we get to watch female hicks do it for millions also.

Now it is. When I was younger than 10 my mother had a boyfriend who liked to smash our house up and threaten to kill my mother whilst he was drunk. Unable to get to sleep one night(after many) I calmly got out of bed and walked into our broken kitchen. I informed the gentleman concerned to leave the house or else I would have a knife implanted in his heart. I have seen similar men(in my neighbourhood) around even now and called the police on them all to no avail. i also realise that women can be completely Radio Rental. there is no need for you to become the flagbearer of the suffragettes Stuie. We get your deep concern with the issue. We are all grown up enough to admit women are also capable of being angry,irrational,possessive,demanding,and at times violent as well. The thread was actually about a 7 News producer knowingly approaching a lunatic to create a story.Which she did. We didn't know that you would see it as an opportunity to take up a thread but I salute you for sticking up for women,despite your personal circumstances. Some men get bitter during such times and put the blame for the failure of the relationship on the other party. That's the last time I share anything personal with you. Now stop arguing statistics or I will give you a Chinese burn and a wedgy if I chance to meet you ,and justify your claims of being a victim of bullying.

Who would want to be in Egypt?? Place is a brothel. Stuie gets plenty because he is the David Brent of Demonland. BBO is the bully,I'm the bigot-don't get confused. Well done on not deleting a criticism-a first.

That doesn't matter anymore because he has a moderator that protects him from being "bullied". So whatever self-righteous,PC,indignant issue he sees fit to master, let him. I expect this comment to be deleted soon but the site is a joke when this plonker gets a run and people with some ability to give and take a joke get banned or deleted.

Unless you are over 80 ,I doubt that.

Searching for inspiration?

The Denim Sausage returns!!! Did not now he was a graphic designer although I hear he has painted a few houses. I can vouch that he is a very nice bloke. I like the new logo as well although I still prefer the Electric Blue from the '80's.

Welcome back Crint, We've missed you like piles.
