Reply to Sorry is on my behalf in Politics JoeUser Forums

Point 422 was stating the evidence placed before the court, in this case presumably by the plaintiff, it was not saying that was what happened. The view taken was entirely reasonable at the time, unless you think it's fine to have a father boozing, mother missing and a child malnourished. Yes, it was later proved to be incorrect but at the time that's all they knew. That was largely the result of one womans actions (Mrs Angas) and the reason t

Darth, did you even read that judgment or did you just listen to the mob? Bruce was taken into care because, quite reasonably at the time, authorities thought that he was in danger. Here are the notes from the hospital file: 110 The Children’s Hospital notes record that the plaintiff was admitted on Christmas Day, 1957. The records note that the plaintiff was a "neglected child – without parents". The records also contained an entry of "malnutrition" and a diagnosis of "inf

That all being said, no one has ever actually been proven to have been stolen simply for being Aboriginal. Sure, they've been removed for safety; things like sexual abuse and severe neglect but don't let that spoil the Sorry Party. And the "small fringe" you refer to appears to be at least two thirds of the Australian public.

Dog Owners... in Dogs JoeUser Forums

So i recently acquired a dog, if acquired is the correct the word that is. Dog may not necessarily be the right word either, unless you've definition of the word equates to an evil robot that turns your back yard into an scene from one of, if not all of, the Terminator movies. That being said, she is undeniably cute. For proof, see <A HREF="http://www.flickr.

Reply to Saddam comments on Rumsfeld's resignation in Politics JoeUser Forums

so why is the idea of having someone there with actual, defined, human values a bad thing? i've met many chaplains before, not one of them has seen it as their duty to convert all the students at the school. rather, their job has been to provide support when needed, in times that vary between the seemingly banal (oh my gosh i have a crush on Timmy), to the heartbreaking (oh my gosh, timmy is dead). this "conservatism" is about helping kids through life, and getting them to thin

Lol, thanks Trina. Just to let you know I’m not hiding. Oddly enough that list wasn't there when I went looking. Well, it may have been but it hasn't been around for very long. That being said it's awesome someone is putting it together. That someone is a guy called Phil McDonald and it sounds really familiar, I’m looking into that. I’ll certainly bookmark the link anyways. Thanks for that. We’ve been to the four listed so thurs nite will be h

Reply to Capitalism Sucks in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Woo hoo! Finally, with only 6 nights till Christmas, the local paper has put out a semi decent list of lights! The cynic in me would tell you it was because they'd already made their money from the last 3 weeks of bus tours but the free spirit in me says i got one day this week to do a whirlwind tour of the lights. Could be tough as it doesn't get dark until past 7pm and the boys bed time is 8:30 but methinks they can have a late one. Maybe th

Lol, staying at home is an option there's no doubt about that. It’s not so much the cost that bugs me; it's the fact that paying the 11 bucks is the only option. I just think that at Christmas there should be the option of going around as a family, without a screaming busload of people. Don’t get me wrong, I scream every now and again but these tours are possible with kids of my offspring's ages (2 and 4). And I still don't understand how this

You see Titan, that's how i think it could be done. I've got no problem with the tours themselves, although a little on the expensive side i would think. But what about families like mine who want to go around for themselves, it can't be done which just seems a little Scrooge-like. And i do understand the difference BakerStreet, i chose capitalism instead of greed for a couple of reasons. First, a few less people would have clicked on my headi
