Lentern, how disrespectful!

It's God, with a capital 'G'.

I see six words that need to be edited, or I'll have no choice but to report this post as showing utter disrespect. You have been warned.

Report away, i'm sure the lord isn't so full of himself that he'll mind.

How have the Libs managed to take the moral high ground in industrial relations??

Labor's dalliances will cost them dearly. The Libs have offered a fair amendment, why not just agree to it? Labor have taken the Senator Fielding method of negotiations and it is backfiring spectacularly.

Fair Work Bill 2008
Bill passed with amendments


One of the amendments is a change in the definition of small business from 15 to 20 employees. The bill will go back to the House this morning to vote on the senate amendments.

You don't get to tell someone who believes in god, who loves god, who devotes their life to god that they are a traitor to the church. Go read your bible Iron, you do not judge, certainly not the validity of a claim to be a follower of god. You judge, you envy, you lie and yet you arrogantly go around proclaiming free thinkers and moral objectionists, those who brought about massive changes in the church in the first place, this infallible institution which you will not hear a word against that has evolved drastically. You can't ignore the bible when it suits you then lambast him for using that beautiful mind that god blessed us with, you don't get to do both Iron. I leave you now with this

He seeks only to make the church a accomodate for those who want it to be more about god and the people who love him. What is so wrong about that.

You still havent grasped that God cant be a subjective idea. Until you do, youre Protestand at best

85% of people who nominate as catholic on the census don't go to church (iirc the show correctly). Kids leaving catholic schools pretty much all say farewell to the church forever.

You're the violin player on the titanic. Or maybe it's better to say you're the captain, completely sure of your direction, yet a hopeless drunk.

We've been written off countless times over history. At the end of the day, the spagetti hits the fan and the lambs come back, respecting us all the more for remaining true

Gillard's announced that they'll be blocking it in the House, cos they "made a promise to the Australian public". What a tard.

 

[Rafy]

They want the double dissolution trigger. It's the perfect bill for Labor to fight an election over.

 

[whatashotbyseve]

They surely would not be that stupid? Libs can easily paint this as petulance, and given the wider failures of their economic credibility... Rudd could easily lose a DD election.

You still haven't grasped that something so immense and grand cannot be constrained to an objective encoding. How can you go around claimbing to be holier than thou art whilst you lie, you judge, you envy, presumably you work on sundays, you've probably done something to dishonour one of your parents at some point, let's hope you've never downloaded anything from limewire

He will not lose a DD, however if he forces the electorate back the polls too early might cost him an increased majority.

Loathe to take anything Swan says very seriously, but is there not a little difficulty in turning round after a senior cabinet minister unequivocally ruled out an early election on national tv? Besides rejected legislation can be good for the government, they don't have to take responsibility for the laws if they go pear shaped but get to appear caring and serious about the issues.

 

[Silver Persian]

ohohoho Lentern.

If only you knew the extent of Iron's depravity.

 

[Lentern]

Question, would anybody else like to see a great debate done in a Qanda format? Try and screen the audience to get a roughly even spread of tories and lefties and just have Kevin and Malcolm up at the desk with Tony. No other journalists, a cross section of the public gets to ask the questions.

Is that you Schroe? Did you get banned? Again?
