Tony Abbott

It is a wonder this man even made it to Parliament in the first place.

 

[0bs3n3]

Oh, ok.

Pathetic attempt at taking the focus away from Kevin Rudd's lack of action.

 

[x.christina]

i think that would be sen steve feilding

he doesnt believe in any of this nonsense that humans came from apes. straight talking enough to acknowledge that their is a science conspiracy (much like "global warming" and the earth is only 10 000 years old

Both sides of Australian politics are conservative idiots, both parties are jokes.

+1. Although I do admit that Rudd > Abbott. Abbott is just wayyy too ridiculous.

 

[runoutofsleep]

no rudd is a meandering halfwit who will lead australia to socialist ruin with his ill-considered "policies"

abbott is the voice of reason

australians have been taken in by rudd's spin for too long but they are coming to realise the truth

Roflcopters. Forcing kids to read the Bible is reasonable? No way.

Abbott's religious bullshit = epic ruin.

australians have been taken in by rudd's spin for too long but they are coming to realise the truth

Well I don't deny that he is crap. I'm just saying that Abbott's even more crap. xD

 

[thongetsu]

LOL at his new parental leave policy. He didn't consult his team.

 

[runoutofsleep]

LOL riddle me this thongetsu

would you rather a prime minister who spends all his time CONSULTING and COMMITTEEING and DEFERRING and DISCUSSING ie kruddbot2007

or a prime minister with the INITIATIVE and DRIVE to GET THINGS DONE ie tony abbott blessed pm to be 2010

 

[murphyad]

or a prime minister with the INITIATIVE and DRIVE to GET THINGS DONE ie tony abbott blessed pm to be 2010

Ie populist retard?

Fuck no

 

[HumanDichotomy]

+1. Although I do admit that Rudd > Abbott. Abbott is just wayyy too ridiculous.

Agreed with you on this.

Even though I feel that both are far too conservative to really get anything important done, Rudd is definitely, for me, the lesser of two evils.

Abbott's views belong in the 50's.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

ill agree forcing kids to read the bible is unreasonable. Rudds bullshit net filter=epic ruin maybe?

Those are why I can't say one is better than the other, equally shit and fucked up imo.

 

[runoutofsleep]

yes forcing kids to read the most influential text in western history is unreasonable good one

 

[absorber]

Ie populist retard?

Fuck no

'You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to murphyad again'

Useful for historical purposes and an understanding of literary context, but that's different to attempting to indoctrinate a generation with religion leading to conservatism

 

[Scorch]

We've been over this:

Well in these days you really do have to indoctrinate them while they're young, don't you?

Any objective analysis of the Bible will reveal the Old Testament to be a violent expose of mass murder, persecution and genocide contained inside what consists of either generic, near-eastern fairytales and myths or propaganda pieces to justify Isrealite displacement and conquest of native peoples in the Levant.

The New Testament is a contradictory, historically inaccurate compilation, written mostly by a bunch of deluded cultists from Judea. The only difference between Jesus and other contemporary magicians and cultists is that he has an awesome PR office that went into full swing after he died. Historically, they were very likely not written by the people that they are attributed to beyond a couple of the New Testament canonical texts. In terms of content, Jesus says very little that is original as the ideas of reciprocity and such are all in one's best interest anyway as evolutionarily beneficial traits that people had clued into quite a long time before. It doesn't disappoint, however, with its own fairytales about the end of the world and God's slaughter of a quarter of the world's population and others that didn't bow down to him despite his complete reliance on blind faith as he refuses to give any evidence whatsoever about his existence.



There is no intellectually defensible position that would have the Bible taught with reverence and respect in schools. Were it subject to the rudimentary ideas of textual criticism and source analysis that one is familiar with by year 9 or 10 history class, it would be found to be severely lacking. From an ethical point, I don't exactly believe that slaughter of homosexuals, prisoners of war, those that don't believe in your point of view despite the fact that you refuse to provide evidence to support your claims and other such ideas are things that children need to be familiarised with in schools of a secular society.

So please, leave the use of sarcasm to those with enough capability to form even a rudimentary understanding of the situation.

 

[runoutofsleep]

oh no the bible's teachings can be easily refuted by year 9/10 students we had better not expose them to it in the classroom!!!

 

[Slidey]

Maybe I should preference Liberal after Greens this election. It would be hilarious to see Tony Abbott having to negotiate with the Greens to get any legislation through (he would of course be free to negotiate with Labour instead!)
