"Just as there is no place on the internet for terrorism or paedophilia, there should be no place for theft that will impact the livelihoods of the 900,000 people whose security is protected by legitimate copyright," Village Roadshow argues.

"The problem is urgent as piracy is spreading like a highly infectious disease and as bad habits become entrenched, they become harder to eradicate."

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Ah yes, the delightful Cook Suck, writer of such righteously progressive tracts as

quote:

I stare at someone drinking green juice and immediately think ”your personality is a big overweight piece of cellulite covered poo poo”. You’re now worse than the previous greedy, mediocre and despicable human you once were, what, with this new sense of entitlement to this magical, wonderful life of pictures of your lovely thighs at the beach, the not-eating-of-bread (which is just loving ridiculous) and these big old jogs - jog, jog, jog - what are you jogging from oval office?

quote:

“Cook Suck! Cook Suck! You were right, I am a big gently caress head, please can I have some of your wine?” and I’ll say “No! This is my loving discounted wine! Go drink some more juice from a loving jam jar you oval office!!” and kick you out of my beautiful castle with its fine steaks, delicious burgers and boutique beverages and you’ll have to march back to loving Deception Bay, Holsworthy, Elizabeth or whatever piece of poo poo suburb you came from.

quote:

I’m not saying fat people don’t deserve to live, they might, maybe, what I’m saying is they deserve to be made fun of. Being overweight isn’t some unchangeable state, like being tall, baldness or having no parents - it’s a problem, and the only way someone will change is if other people make them feel bad about their problem.

quote:

The way I see it, obesity is kinda like chlamydia, or pregnancy. You get it from carelessness and it’s relatively easy to get rid of.

quote:

The microwaved meat pie is basically the chlamydia of the food world; something lazy, disgusting pieces of poo poo with poor taste in what they insert into their body eventually wind up with.

quote:

This whole dish reminds me of one of those suburban houses for poor people who think they are richer than they are. You know the type - door-to-door salesman who call themselves managers or franchise fast food store managers who call themselves humans with feelings - that kinda thing. Not the humble and modest abode of a working class family, but the self-entitled, disgusting, sprawl of chlamydia-esque housing that plagues those lovely suicide-catalysts they call estates. Always with those loving eyesore extensions on those tiny blocks of land - why build these? If your house physically can’t hold any more people and you lack the mental capacity to design an appropriate extension that won’t descend your eyesore suburb further into ghetto status or the money to pay someone else to do it for you, then perhaps, just perhaps, it might be time to stop making children?

It looks like this doesn't cover prostitutes, which would make sense since they're illegal in most places. That's really what I'm getting at. Prostitution should be legal, organised and the workers should own the means of production. :ussr:

Since this drat thread is still going, here's a pointed Crikey editorial:

quote:

Crikey says: don't mention the (upcoming) war

Why did Labor join with the government this morning and head off the Greens' motion for a debate about our return to war in Iraq?

As soon as the Senate convened this morning, Greens leader Christine Milne moved to suspend standing orders "to move a motion relating to the parliamentary approval for the deployment of Australian troops to Iraq". Labor opposed the motion. It was supported by NSW Senator David Leyonhjelm -- who expressed support for Australia's involvement and the hope it would lead to a separate Kurdish state -- PUP Senator Jacqui Lambie and Nick Xenophon.

The debate might have proved embarrassing for Labor, which is keeping close to the government on Iraq issues at the moment, unlike when Simon Crean bravely and correctly stared down internal opposition and led Labor to oppose the first Iraq debacle in 2003.

But there's another reason, revealed by Xenophon: Labor and the Coalition have struck a deal to not consider "complex and contested motions ... including foreign affairs motions" without a "proper opportunity for debate". According to government Senate leader Eric Abetz, such motions "can have unintended consequences" (unlike, of course, foreign policy blunders). The aim of the deal is to prevent the crossbench parties and independent senators from trying to initiate debates that the major parties may find inconvenient.

The deal was agreed the week that Nick Xenophon moved a matter of public importance debate on Attorney-General George Brandis' bizarre change to the government's position on the occupation of East Jerusalem by Israel, which caused ructions within Labor as well as requiring the intervention of Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to repair the damage done by Brandis.

So we now have a bipartisan agreement not to debate the very issues that require the most thorough airing because the major parties might find themselves having to express a "complex and contested" opinion. It speaks volumes for the sad state of contemporary politics.

There's your "democracy". :getin:

edit: oh and we're going to arm Iraqi terrorist groups in direct contravention of our own law (even naming the PPK) cos that's not going to end badly.
