thing is slipper was actually a shitbag while i don't see tony jones out there firing his AK wildly into the air and blowing people's heads up
It's called supplier induced demand. You tell people what they want enough times and they soon will demand it.
From budget surpluses [totally meaningless concept to anyone with half a brain] to anorexic chicks being something for men to desire and women to strive to become.
The obverse of both these concepts / products can be made equally as desirable by simply telling people the lie enough times for it to be perceived as the truth.
Thin chicks couldn't buy a root two hundred years ago and you would never win an election based on a budget surplus even 40 years ago.
It's the plutocrats that own the media calling the shots. The poor old journalists only choices are to either comply or starve.
Lolololololololololololol
Ep. 3 was superb.
Lemme have a cigarette and a lie down before I even begin to publish my thoughts.
Chicken or the Egg
What came first?
Gotcha Politics or Gotcha Journalism?
Plutocracy. The Plutocrats own the politicians and they own the media companies the Journalists work for as well. It's more of an immaculate conception than an egg being laid.
Obama leading the charge today like he's Rosa ****ing Parks yet when he was trying to win votes he was all like "awww hell nawwww them gays can't get married".
Amazing what a lame duck president can get away with.
(And yes I agree with the decision but this ain't Obamas crusade, not by a long ****ing way).
it was the supreme court buddy
Exactly my point.
I'm against gay marriage. I mean haven't these people suffered enough already ?
In fact I'm against marriage regardless of sexual preferences. It's a big fat waste of money in most cases as well.
It's probably nice though for the children to have parents sharing the same name though so I can maybe see it from that perspective.

sorry just to expand on my point.
the supreme court made a very big decision today and the 5 judges who agreed with the motion should be congratulated on their decision.
what shits me was
1. Obama and co (add in Hillary and pretty much all the republicans) when out on the hustings looking for votes all gave the "i believe marriage is between a man and a woman" line. OK great, you said your piece, but for them all to come out now waving the flag just sums up how gutless most of our leaders are. Aussies did the same, Gillard and Rudd sang from the rooftops about equality but when it went to the parliament they voted against it. let alone the Libs not allowing a conscience vote. cowards, the lot of them. (shorten voted yes if memory serves).
2. The 4 'dissenters' on the Supreme Court bench have immediately been labelled 'bigots' for not agreeing with the motion. if these same loudmouths bagging the judges had a taken 2 minutes to read their summary it clearly stated that regardless of their personal opinion they didn't believe the court was the place to make judgement on this case. they thought it was a legislative issue. they were not bigots, they were acting within what they thought was their jurisdiction.
3. Social media going all "awww look America did it Australia is soooooooo backwards not doing it" horseshit. Like it or Australia voted on it in parliament a few years ago and it was defeated. we need a new approach to getting this done, mocking the lawmakers probably isn't a good way.
4. For the lulz i went straight to Fox news to see how many heads exploded. surprisingly, there was a very fair debate and id say most of the usual suspects were all for the decision. that said i haven't heard from Trump or Bill O'reilly yet so that may yet change.
in summary:
if you support gay marriage, stop forwarding silly memes and mocking the pollies. instead, write to your local member with your views or take the ****ers to court. there is a system for getting laws changed in this country. we need to be smarter about it.
also, prob good the Member is on gardening leave atm, he'd prob earn himself a lifetime ban if let loose today.

Can confirm I support gay marriage, and have been forwarding silly memes. But my attempts have been to mock a certain few of my friends who definitely see my social media stuff, who are religious anti-marriage-equality believers, and it's all been aimed at themwhat I find hilarious is they spend the best part of their lives actively telling everyone that they want to "love everybody" but they're basically the only quiet people on my entire facebook who aren't sharing the love today.
#lovewins
Oh btw I emailed my local member and asked him what his views are, and what he is doing in parliament to help see Australia join basically every other country in the world. I'll let you know if he writes back.
OK
big faking deal what about the Jets having no players, thats a world issue
Im legit happy you did this if for real.
The sooner people work out that that's the way our system works (as opposed to likes and hashtags) the sooner we'll all start getting somewhere.
Serious Hawk, we've a better chance of curing the clap.
Yep, I did. I've never really done it before so have no idea whether he'll reply or not.
According to this site, he supports marriage equality.
OK
true, im better off backing sure favourites like gov bashing, QLD SOO and joining every loud obnoxious group fighting for a piece of chocolate cake, (knitters vote too).
btw why cant pets be legally married. Can someone else fight this for me, icbf.
I think Cory Bernadi is your man for that Hawk.
does the dunster like anything?
