Nope! Good news is that he's never done anything but chair an election commission, so he's just some random piece of poo poo.

How would they know where you'll stop? Or when exactly you're going to look in the mirror? If you have to reverse out of your parking space you're approaching the car from behind, surely you'd spot it right then?

A man from Pakistan, though a U.S. citizen for ten years, was shot in front of his family while in Pakistan for being of a different faith. Most of the comments on the article stub are as disheartening as the actual report.

It's actually pretty typical, if AusPol's efforts to remove extremely racist pages against indigenous Australians are to be believed. They'll always say no initially, but concede the point and take down the page after a while.

One time I got an anti-Semitic comment removed on the first try! Good luck with sexist/racist/anti-indigenous stuff though.

I'm guessing he's going off of the whole "die in the service of Allah and you will end up in heaven with forty virgins to serve you" thing.

Perhaps he thinks the only people who would be motivated by something like that were people who couldn't get a woman in real life?

In my experience/findings of talking about the subject with people, it seems there are different ways that people experience audio books, and for one group of people, of which I am a member, that find it utterly impossible to fully absorb the story or characters via audio, it just isn't as deep as reading the words ourselves.

So I can see why someone would say that it promotes illiteracy, if you were a member of that group, and didn't realise that not everyone experiences audio books that way.

"Egalitarian" now means that feminism is discriminatory against men because of that _femin_ part and we need to focus on women's discrimination against men, like how men are unfairly seen as inferior caregivers and don't have an equivalent to ~ladies' nights~

I find audiobooks quite different from reading - an audiobook takes waaay longer to listen to than the corresponding text, but can be listened to in places you otherwise couldn't read a book - at the gym, or on a long road trip. Really, they just fit into different niches. You also have to be able to pay particular attention to the audiobook - like you say, its hard to absorb the story and it isn't like you can easily re-read a sentence or paragraph.
