Public transport

I have worked out why public transport is wrong.Well it’s like this; It’s all on their terms.

You see, I got up at 7 this , showered, had breakfast, got to the station, got train, got to work and it was 8am very efficient if you think about it. 1 hour to accomplish that ( its more than I have accomplished in the two hours since I have been at work)

However the point is, it is not what I would have otherwise chosen to do. And in today’s world where marketers, companies, websites, and even banks personalize everything to your taste - down to my individual requirements and capabilities Public transport will never gain more popularity over other modes, as it does not meet my personal requirements, which is; not to be dictated to what time I have to get up; how fast I have to eat my breakfast; when I have to be at a train platform; and how many people I have to share my journey with.

Thus public transport will begin to fade away; the greens have no chance unless they ban everything.

Oh wait....they are trying to ban everything

Yip

You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament

Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.

You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.

You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.

It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.

You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.

While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.

At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.

You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.

You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.

What Temperment Are You?

I can't put it any other way

Hence, the famous "hockey stick" graph purporting to show climate over the past 1000 years, as a continuous, flat, millennium-long bungalow with a skyscraper tacked on for the 20th century. This graph was almost laughably fraudulent, not least because it used a formula that would generate a hockey stick shape no matter what data you input, even completely random, trendless, arbitrary computer-generated data. Yet such is the power of the eco-lobby that this fraud became the centrepiece of UN reports on global warming. If it's happening, why is it necessary to lie about it?

I knew it all along.

Libertarian - You believe that the main use for
government is for some people to lord it over
others at their expense. You maintain that the
government should be as small as possible, and
that civil liberties, "victimless
crimes", and gun ownership should be basic
rights. You probably are OK with capitalism.
Your historical role model is Thomas Jefferson.

Miss Clark said through the spokesman she could not disclose details of the information provided to the Government since the announcement was made. "Australian officials have confirmed that there is no imminent threat of terrorist attacks in Australia," she said.

Tolerant War Mongering Religion

An update to the previous post, Michael Totten reminds us what the French paid for

2005-08-03T09:31:00.000+12:45

F the French

"France paid millions of dollars for the release of three journalists kidnapped in Iraq, reporter Roger Auque told Afrique Magazine.

He said that - despite official denials - the Government had paid 5 million ($9 million) to free Liberation newspaper's Florence Aubenas and her Iraqi interpreter in June. Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot were released last December for 2 million."

2005-07-29T11:55:00.000+12:45

Are you still looking for the link fool?

The excuse in all the above cases was the war in Iraq, but let us not forget that in September 2001, long before Iraq, Osama Bin Laden proudly announced that he ordered the killing of some 3,000 in the United States, in the name of avenging Islam. Let us not forget that the killing began a long time before the invasion of Iraq.

Indeed, jihadis have been killing for a decade in the name of Islam.

Another Australian in devastating form in London

PRIME MIN. HOWARD: Could I start by saying the prime minister and I were having a discussion when we heard about it. My first reaction was to get some more information. And I really don't want to add to what the prime minister has said. It's a matter for the police and a matter for the British authorities to talk in detail about what has happened here.

Can I just say very directly, Paul, on the issue of the policies of my government and indeed the policies of the British and American governments on Iraq, that the first point of reference is that once a country allows its foreign policy to be determined by terrorism, it's given the game away, to use the vernacular. And no Australian government that I lead will ever have policies determined by terrorism or terrorist threats, and no self-respecting government of any political stripe in Australia would allow that to happen.

Can I remind you that the murder of 88 Australians in Bali took place before the operation in Iraq.

And I remind you that the 11th of September occurred before the operation in Iraq.

Can I also remind you that the very first occasion that bin Laden specifically referred to Australia was in the context of Australia's involvement in liberating the people of East Timor. Are people by implication suggesting we shouldn't have done that?

When a group claimed responsibility on the website for the attacks on the 7th of July, they talked about British policy not just in Iraq, but in Afghanistan. Are people suggesting we shouldn't be in Afghanistan?

When Sergio de Mello was murdered in Iraq -- a brave man, a distinguished international diplomat, a person immensely respected for his work in the United Nations -- when al Qaeda gloated about that, they referred specifically to the role that de Mello had carried out in East Timor because he was the United Nations administrator in East Timor.

Now I don't know the mind of the terrorists. By definition, you can't put yourself in the mind of a successful suicide bomber. I can only look at objective facts, and the objective facts are as I've cited. The objective evidence is that Australia was a terrorist target long before the operation in Iraq. And indeed, all the evidence, as distinct from the suppositions, suggests to me that this is about hatred of a way of life, this is about the perverted use of principles of the great world religion that, at its root, preaches peace and cooperation. And I think we lose sight of the challenge we have if we allow ourselves to see these attacks in the context of particular circumstances rather than the abuse through a perverted ideology of people and their murder.

PRIME MIN. BLAIR: And I agree 100 percent with that. (Laughter.)

Insurgent scopes target
