Basically religion allows for the naturalisation of systems imposed upon nature by mankind

Really? REALLY? REALLY?

I'd love to see the examples you have ready to support this sweeping statement.

Chili Peppers in 2000 got on the show because they'd just found [guitarist John] Frusciante in the Chateau Marmont no teeth left on his deathbed.

Wow.

Are you going to send Vic Pol around to raid me and silence me? As I said, let's wait and see how the economy is. Brumby kept telling us we were fine in Victoria. Just cook the books a little.

I never said how dare you. I just pointed out that you were making statements about things you do not understand. You went to all caps, so I guess it hit a nerve. Why would I want to silence you? It makes no real difference to me that you make yourself look foolish here.
That report I linked to does a pretty good job of telling you how the economy is. Though it's on a national level, and I'm guessing by your mention of Brumby that you are confusing state and federal again.

We are the 10%

A full 75.5 per cent of all Australian adults are in the world's wealthiest 10 per cent of total population.

sting-bono said 4 minutes ago: Yes Constance, the illuminati. I don't care who got the raise, it's insulting. Granted it was Vic Pol not Feds, same shit different smell. Database, leaked docs - point being? Yep, Thompson is clean, Gillard is clean and our economy is flying!

Insulting to who? ''Aussie battlers''?
The point being that you do not understand what happened, what the story is about, what is going on... yet feel free to comment on it.
I didn't say Thompson was clean, I said he hadn't been charged.
And yes, our economy is flying- our economy has grown faster than nearly all others (certainly faster than all developed countries), our household income has grown faster than nearly all others (including our poor having income growth higher than everyone else's rich), we have the highest minimum wages in the world and the third lowest debt in the OECD.

If one of your kids dies, do you paint a cross over the sticker, like a WW2 fighter ace keeping score?

Today she gave herself and her cronies a 31% pay rise. The Feds raid The Age regarding leaked Labor Party docs but they're still sitting on the Thompson affair,

This is so wrong I thought I was on Bolt's blog.
1- Everyone got a rise, not just her ''cronies''. 2- They are Victorian Police, not Federal 3- It's about access to a database, not leaked documents 4- Who is sitting on the ''Thompson affair'' (whatever that is)? The police? NSW & Vic police have both looked into it and found nothing to proceed on. The Feds? How are they involved? The Illuminati? Who?

As a member of a moderately successful dixieland combo, I can attest that there are no specialist dixieland labels in the phonebook. Trust me, we've looked.

Sorry, that should be:
