Nice edit, actually quite an interesting little article.
Really confirms your bias huh?

Ape I thought I might move this over here so it can receive due consideration.

"Next time: gather a bunch of really really hot unattainable women, get them naked, soaped-up, let them slide around for a while, let us watch the film, and then ask us how we feel."

Now I know you probably won't take this the right way but really I am doing you a favour. Have you considered the idea that your attitude to women is unlikely to make you happy and near certain to make any women you come into contact with unhappy? I don't want to go all Freudian on you but maybe you should talk to someone about it......how to lift your game, live a happier life kinda thing.

You think he should focus on hot , nude , soaped up women who are attainable ?

It would certainly avoid a lot of heartache.

Well it might be a start but he really needs to get over the whole idea.

Just because he said it doesn't mean he has to be ashamed of the thought.

A naked soapy lady is a lovely thing. Arouses all the senses- looks nice, smells nice, feels nice.

A gift.

Not a blowfly's cuppa tea obviously.

I dunno zen, it really depends upon the lady...

Bloke , I think you’ll find it doesn’t depend on the lady , it depends on you. A few years on a deserted island estranged from women and you might discover an appreciation for women you’d never found attractive previously.

There’s solid reasons that dugongs were thought of as tempting mermaids in lonely days of yore on the high seas.

That's as maybe DSDS, but I've got mates who've worked in aged care during their studies. I think they may disagree.

Corporate rort who'da thought?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Things could be worse though. This guy, the "It is what it is" Potus, could be running your country.

Well, after reading the latest news about Clive:

"Mining billionaire Clive Palmer and his company Mineralogy are suing the WA Government for nearly $30 billion in relation to the Balmoral South iron ore project in the Pilbara region."

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-11/clive-palmer-sues-wa-government-for-30-billion-over-iron-ore/12547664

Which follows on from just 18 months ago, when he moved his businesses over to NZ, in order to exploit a loophole so that he could "threaten to use free trade rules to sue Australian taxpayers for $45 billion as part of a dispute with a Chinese mining company".

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-22/clive-palmer-sets-up-kiwi-company-threatens-to-sue-taxpayers/10734744

Anyway... time to re-watch Friendlyjordies again. And jeez, hasn't this got better with age.

(BTW, how is Clive not in gaol?)

Liveleak has some unseen Footage of the Beirut blast in 4K slo mo
Faark

Got a link udo?

@ Ben - is it gaol or jail?

Either way, he should be.

Wow.. Beirut Explosion In 4K Slow Motion

WOTL, out of interest, "It's important to recognise that there aren't just these two spellings of jail. The Oxford English Dictionary records around 20 variations—from gayhol in the 13th century through to gial and iaiole."

Nevertheless, the ABC reckons gaol is "certainly the elder statesmen of the two variations", and "was the spelling of choice for discerning Britons for much of the 19th and 20th centuries". 

I'm down with that.

Some good news from USA.
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/08/why-biden-picked-ha...

I'm still not ruling out Trump pulling a bone spur in October and chucking Pence under the bus.
This whole Mt Rushmore nonsense shows that the Orange Lunatic is thinking about manufacturing his legacy.
I can see him quitting, rather than losing, and then go out with some "poor America won't get the benefits of a second term of me" BS.

Cheers Craig re link, big kaboom indeed.

Thanks Ben for the education re jail/gaol.

Maybe we could just call them Correctional Facilities :)

And send this bloke for some correction...

"I can see him quitting, rather than losing, and then go out with some "poor America won't get the benefits of a second term of me" BS."

Ha ha...i actually agree with that, i can see him doing that.

Either way whatever goes down its going to be entertaining, if he loses he is going to a super bad loser, he will have some classic things to say.

"Either way whatever goes down its going to be entertaining, if he loses he is going to a super bad loser, he will have some classic things to say."
Entertaining? I don't think you understand the severity of the problem Caspar. A very large number of Trump fans are utterly deluded, extremely angry, and heavily armed. And then there's 10 weeks of transition to the new administration. Fuck knows what that lunatic will do when there's nothing for him to lose. Personally I don't find extreme violence "entertaining" but hey, I'm pretty normal.

Hence your avatar? Otherwise I agree with your main sentiment VL, scary days ahead.

No matter what happens in the USA people always have a tantrum, we saw it when Trump got elected we saw it with BLM protest not long ago, people in the USA seem to like any excuse for a good violet protest and some looting and destruction.

If Trump doesn't get elected, yes im sure Trump supporters will do the same as Trump non supporters did when elected. (maybe they might vote this time instead)

Got to say Seppo's make us Aussies look pretty civil.

Can some bloke tell me why everyone is indulging the coy nudge /wink game of faintly alluding to the the inevitable moment Biden steps aside for President Harris if he is elected ? Is it to soften up the moronic population for the stunningly shocking , completely unforeseeable handover of the Presidency within months of the election ? Or is it a cynical nod to the less astute US people that this is who they are really voting for when they vote Democrat ?

Is it still considered a democracy when the candidate is such an obvious bait and switch ?

Thank Christ that Australian politics is much more stable and you can rest assured that the person you vote for PM will last the whole term !

Fingers crossed the handover if Trump loses will be as smooth and as accepting as the last few years since Trump got up over the most qualified candidate in Presidential history ! Democrats showed their class by conceding so graciously when that Orange bloke stole victory with Putin’s help .

In Australian politics you don't vote for the PM*.
You vote for your local member. Each party internally decides on a leader; leader of the majority party becomes PM.

*Unless he happens to be the local member for your electorate.

No way bloke ! I voted for Big Bill Shorten. He was robbed . Australians weren’t smart enough to recognise a visionary amongst us .

DSDS, Classic last line.
The Rudd Gillard Rudd Abbott Turnbull Scumo era was truly bizarre.
Rudd got rolled because nobody in the party liked him
Gillard got rolled to save the ALP furniture at the next election.
Abbott got rolled cause he was an embarrassment
Turnbull got rolled because he was the LNP Rudd. Most people in the Liberal Party hated him.
The funny thing is, none of those people are even close to being as dangerous and as dangerously incompetent as Trump, and nobody in the GOP tapped that crackpot on the shoulder and said "stand down fruit loop". They are even going with him again.
Fuck me, section 25 of their constitution (remove the incapacitated POTUS clause) is pretty much meaningless.

Of course, there are politicians in the US who make Trump look ...well never mind that......there are plenty of other loons wandering the boondocks of middle America.

"Marjorie Taylor Greene, a businesswoman who has expressed racist views and support for the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, has won the Republican nomination for Georgia’s 14th congressional district.Greene beat the neurosurgeon John Cowan in a primary runoff for the open seat on Tuesday in the deep-red district in north-west Georgia, despite several Republican officials denouncing her campaign after videos surfaced in which she expressed racist, antisemitic and anti-Muslim views………..The Republican representative Tom Graves, who did not seek re-election, last won the seat with over 76% of the vote in 2018."

The last sentence meaning nothing short of another meteorite strike in the Gulf Of Mexico is likely to prevent the addition of another nutter to Congress. But you just can't trust those neurosurgeons.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/11/georgia-republican-prima...

So what you are saying blowfly, is the GOP is pretty similar to the Liberal Party in Victoria!!! Or as I call them, the RNGP, Religious Nutters and Grifters Party.

Ha ha well it seems dangerously close to coprophilia to take such an interest in the detailed classification of turds, but yes Michael O'Brien needs time to achieve full Trumpist turdery but he's making progress.

A Heinlen character in one of his sixties novels said it is privilege to have a vote and you should always use it. "There maybe not someone you want to vote for, but there is always someone you want to vote against."

Thanks facto, the Cook piece is interesting and fundamentally true. If it misses anything it is the compact all political parties make with the electorate.......that under no circumstances will they tell us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The reason is simple. The truth is too terrible. The truth does not just condemn the politicians or the parasiticsal businessmen, it condemns all of us who live comfortable lives. The truth is environmental destruction on a scale most of us even struggle to imagine and for which all of us carry some responsibility. The truth is the ruthless exploitation of labor across the globe to create the cheap consumer goods that fill our lives, (workers, being disposable, are more economically efficient than slaves). The truth is the massive diversion of global wealth to construct vast quantities of weapons whose use would end civilisation, a situation which we find alarming when it is brought to our attention, but our attention spans being what they are these days, we soon look away. The truth is.....well I could go on but you get the picture.
If you wanted a perfect image of our complicity consider the advertising campaigns run by the coalition in the lead up to the last election. First, a scare campaign about utes based on the premise, which was never happening anyway, that an inconvenient change in the vehicles available for them to purchase was a fundamental threat to their freedom. Then a scare campaign on franking credits to convince wealthy retirees that a minor change in their financial arrangements was outright theft. Both campaigns worked. The truth is terrible.

Ditto what I said on the Covid thread. You lot are a bunch of certifiable wankers.

A towering contribution as always D-Rex, I particularly liked your detailed and well considered rebuttal.

Right back atcha big boy.

Hey JQ, a heads-up - don't miss my towering contribution on the Covid thread.

I feel for you D-Rex, that copy & paste effort must've been tough.

"In his latest Red Hand Files newsletter, the Australian musician was asked what he thinks of cancel culture. In response he decried people’s refusal to engage with “difficult ideas” and claimed that moving toward a more equal society could mean essential values were forfeited.

“Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world,” he wrote. “Its once honourable attempt to reimagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer (and none of the beauty) – moral certainty and self-righteousness shorn even of the capacity for redemption.”

He added that cancel culture’s refusal to engage with uncomfortable ideas had an asphyxiating effect on the creative soul of a society, and that creativity could knock at foundational beliefs and in doing so generate fresh ways of seeing the world."

“bad religion run amuck”.

Cave's full response to the question on The Red Hand Files

What do you think of cancel culture?

Mercy is a value that should be at the heart of any functioning and tolerant society. Mercy ultimately acknowledges that we are all imperfect and in doing so allows us the oxygen to breathe — to feel protected within a society, through our mutual fallibility. Without mercy a society loses its soul, and devours itself.

Mercy allows us the ability to engage openly in free-ranging conversation — an expansion of collective discovery toward a common good. If mercy is our guide we have a safety net of mutual consideration, and we can, to quote Oscar Wilde, “play gracefully with ideas.”

Yet mercy is not a given. It is a value we must nurture and aspire to. Tolerance allows the spirit of enquiry the confidence to roam freely, to make mistakes, to self-correct, to be bold, to dare to doubt and in the process to chance upon new and more advanced ideas. Without mercy society grows inflexible, fearful, vindictive and humourless.

Frances, you’ve asked about cancel culture. As far as I can see, cancel culture is mercy’s antithesis. Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world. Its once honourable attempt to reimagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer (and none of the beauty) — moral certainty and self-righteousness shorn even of the capacity for redemption. It has become quite literally, bad religion run amuck.

Cancel culture’s refusal to engage with uncomfortable ideas has an asphyxiating effect on the creative soul of a society. Compassion is the primary experience — the heart event — out of which emerges the genius and generosity of the imagination. Creativity is an act of love that can knock up against our most foundational beliefs, and in doing so brings forth fresh ways of seeing the world. This is both the function and glory of art and ideas. A force that finds its meaning in the cancellation of these difficult ideas hampers the creative spirit of a society and strikes at the complex and diverse nature of its culture.

But this is where we are. We are a culture in transition, and it may be that we are heading toward a more equal society — I don’t know — but what essential values will we forfeit in the process?

Well Nick, from his highly priveleged position, has earned the right to pontificate, but this is surely regrettable.

"Cancel culture’s refusal to engage with uncomfortable ideas has an asphyxiating effect on the creative soul of a society."

As opposed to the knee on the neck of an asphyxiating innocent? Even great artists are sometimes tone deaf.
More to the point, generalising about cancel culture does not make much sense when it covers everything from preventing holocaust deniers access to educational institutions to nervous Ned's protest against the imprecise use of his preferred descriptor. So exactly what the fuck is Nick saying? Does he really want us to open up the universities to every half baked loon with a facebook following? Or does he just want to deny a platform to those loonies who would deny a platform to their slightly less loony rivals?

“Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world. (It)now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer ...
— moral certainty and self-righteousness”

Seems like Nick’s spot on in a few regards eh?

It's all too clear now! Nick The Misogynist fears that changing times will diminish his artistic reputation and his place in tne "ROCK PANTHEON".

Yep, Nick really nailed it.

Ditto / Dutto / Jail / Gaol now the crew have stirred the beast...

Dutto is deporting all foreign crims.

Dutto : "HelloWorld Medivac was expensive but argued it was money well spent!"
"No doubt their families aren't too happy with me!"
"We'll continue to send 'em back to their putrid odious underworld of origin."

100's of foreign crims are being extradited to Christmas Island Hunger Games.
The Island has no Deluxe Covid Social Distancing bullshit...so we can cram them in!

Our Oz onshore detention can't cope with "Unlawful non-citizens" who can't be expelled thanx to bullshit dogooderz coronavirus protocols.

Dutto's - Dial a Detention centre:
"Ok! So that's the extra sharp shiny Razor wire + no windows for 250'...

We only Medivac criminal Reffos that self harmed with a Chiko Roll ...Trust Me!"

Scomo; " Dutto! Ya got me those 250 camp beds for the HelloWorld Hot Condos."

Didn’t this cancel culture thing start when the Dixie Chicks criticised the Iraq war and George W Bush supporters vented their fury with CD/ record burnings and death threats. Funny how the conservative warriors get all sooky when it’s directed back at them? Right wingers invented this cancel culture phenomenon! https://www.celebretainment.com/music/dixie-chicks-hit-out-at-cancel-cul...

Jeez Yorkes, are you saying (Nick Cave aside) that Noam Chomsky, Gloria Steinem and Salman Rushdie are conservative warriors?

Was thinking more along the lines of Alan Jones who copped that advertising boycott after repeated attacks on woman politicians etc. There’s similar cases in the U.S. No idea who your talking about Andy although I vaguely recall Salman Rushdie upset some muslims decades ago with a book he wrote, ‘Satanic Verses’ wasn’t it?

I never knew Nick was so wise
