Those idiots who protested the marriage acts are i dots . Why should people care if people are gay or not . As a Catholic I don't see a problem if two men or two women want to to get married . If their happy and content why shouldn't they afforded the luxury the rest of us have . Also the whole argument about it'll ruin children is baseless

Constable savage and his boss.



"Come in, shut the door."

"Yes, sir."

"Now then, Savage, I want to talk to you about some charges that you've been bringing lately. I think that perhaps you're being a little over-zealous."


"Which charges did you mean then, sir?"

"Well, for instance this one: 'Loitering with intent to use a pedestrian crossing.' Savage, maybe you're not aware of this, but it is not illegal to use a pedestrian crossing, neither is 'smelling of foreign food' an offence."

"Are you sure, sir?"

"Also, there's no law against 'Urinating in a public convenience or 'Coughing without due care and attention."'

"If you say so, sir..."

"Yes, I do say so, Savage! Didn't they teach you anything at training school?"

"Erm, I'm sorry, sir..."

"Some of these cases are just plain stupid: 'Looking at me in a funny way' - Is this some kind of joke, Savage?"

"No, sir."

"And we have some more here: 'Walking on the cracks in the pavement,' 'Walking in a loud shirt in a built-up area during the hours of darkness,' and 'Walking around with an offensive wife.' In short, Savage, in the space of one month you have brought one hundred and seventeen ridiculous, trumped-up and ludicrous charges."

"Yes, sir."

"Against the same man, Savage."

"Yes, sir."

"A Mr Winston Kodogo, of 55, Mercer Road."

"Yes, sir."

"Sit down, Savage."

"Yes, sir."

"Savage, why do you keep arresting this man?"

"He's a villain, sir."

"A villain..."

"And a jail-bird, sir."

"I know he's a jail-bird, Savage, he's down in the cells now! We're holding him on a charge of 'Possession of curly black hair and thick lips."'

"Well - well, there you are, sir."

"You arrested him, Savage!"

"Thank you, sir."

"Savage, would I be correct in assuming that Mr Kodogo is a coloured gentleman?"

"Well, I can't say I've ever noticed, sir."

"Stand up, Savage! - Savage, you're a bigot. It's officers like you that give the police a bad name. The press love to jump on an instance like this, and the reputation of the force can be permanently tarnished. Your whole time on duty is dominated by racial hatred and petty personal vendettas. Do you get some kind of perverted gratification from going around stirring up trouble?"

"Yes, sir."

"There's no room for men like you in my force, Savage. I'm transferring you to the S.P.G. "

"Thank you very much, sir."

"- Now get out!"

Whatever floats your boat but have you ever given any thought as to how organised religions evolved?

If you were ever going to come up with a way of "bring everyone along for the ride" religion would be a pretty good vehicle for that.

Just think. Your life is, depending on how devout you are, based on the writings of some desert wandering arab who lived 1400 years ago. Christians are even worse. There beliefs are 2000+ years old.

I wonder what the apostles position on gene therapy and the NBN were.

True but it was also organisations operating as non-tax paying churches who also opposed it.

With this in mind you can see how religions can cop a lot of flak.

agreed but to lump every religious person out there as card carrying bigot is wrong. i know plenty of people like myself who are religious but we dont advertise the fact we are as their tends be a anti religious sentiment out there . No matter what we say , or do we get called every name under the sun and get told our believes are wrong .

Again why should I justify my beliefs to anyone who says that

Youre best laid plans WILL NOT SUCCEED!

*hits cage with a baton to make deafening racket at the dogs caged inside*

And who are you to decide that.

Don't bother mate. Some people are just so angry about anything religious that they just cannot be reason with. And yes, I did very carefully choose the phrase 'reasoned with'.

It frustrates me . Seriously religion shouldn't define a person to anyone . I have friends who aren't religious /atheist and we get along just fine . We speak about our beliefs and come to the conclusion that yes we may differ on certain things but we won't let get in the way of our friendship

Yeah, I find them quite sad to be honest. I'm not religious, but having grown up in a religious family I get it and know more than the average non-religious person who just hacks embarrassingly at religion and religious people.

Another problem. Religious (and non religious) people take every criticism of their belief system (or lack there of) as some broad attack on every religious person.

There's no delicate way to attack a very open set of 'rules' without offending someone or everyone.

I have, but it is a firm belief that Islam never 'evolved'.

It is. It is probably why religion has become such a strong political tool. How convenient it is to say, for example, "Look at IS and these Islamic terrorists. Its because of these people that we need stronger terrorism laws. Its because of these things that we need to introduce million and one security checks at airports."

It also seems that atheism would be a good reason to take 'everyone along for a ride'.

Thats where you wrong. Islam was not the views and writings of Muhammad PBUH. Muhammed PBUH never once claimed Islam to be his and his alone. That would be your assumption.

Personally, all questions relating to modern things have been answered either in Quran, or hadith. I am yet to not find answers for myself in these areas. In saying that, that is my own personal view, I don't expect everyone to follow it or take it as the truth.

Talking about the apostles, I can't answer that questions for you. Not my religion. It seems that you take umbrage with Christianity in terms of modernism.

Here's the truth... Brilliantly put by comedian Patton Oswalt...

Well put.

To argue against a religion or belief system always appears to offend the person or group involved. This is because that people (not everyone) take their beliefs as fundamental to their identity, when in fact it is just a social construct cemented over their life by a relative authority figure/s.

There is nothing wrong with criticizing a religion or belief system, but when it aims at the person or group in question then it become unethical. For example, if someone argued with me about spirituality I wouldn't be offended, but when they attack me to degrade my confidence in the idea of spirituality then I would be. People aren't exclusively Muslim, Christian or Jewish; they are people who just reside in that cultural framework. I wish that anti-religious, anti-cultural wankers would refer to them as people, not as whatever cultural label they've been conditioned into using.

Man shot dead, two counter-terrorism officers stabbed outside Endeavour Hills police station

Can see this going well in the media :lol:

-PB

Jesus Christ...

What the fuck is with that article?!

It was outside the police station? Then they'd pulled him over at some point and nek minnit there's a bomb threat in the police station?! That is one of the worst pieces of journalism ever :lol:
Literally cannot work that story out in any form of chronological order :lol:

Wouldn't be surprised if in the coming days the story changes a lot. Every news provider would be rushing to get it posted tonight without to much verified.

Apparently the guy had a isil flag . Which I told a mate wasn't even on the report but apparently witnesses said he had one

Yep, the misinformation is coming thick and fast now.

-PB

Yep but yet media are running with it . But even they said it's unconfirmed . Ffs confirm it before running with it . Now it's he had a isil flag at dandy plaza

Fuck me dead.



-PB

Fucking LOL

As I said to PB, this is just embarrassing. The media is pretty piss poor these days.

All it is is marginalisation.

What's an Abbott Jihadi?

Either way, the little douche bag went full retard with a knife to police so he deserves to have been shot.

A lot of people have come out of the wood work and basically said all Muslims have to deported as they condone this and that they don't assimilate . Ffs the misinformation to the masses has worked and now we have a majority peaceful people being lumped with the lunatic fringe . Why don't people talk about the adl and how they've been victimizing the Muslim population ??
