I can't read this loving thread anymore. Bucky is worse for this place than IWC was.

You can't tell me there haven't been some real diamonds in the rough in the Bucky posting. "Get the army reserve to dig a tunnel" is still right there

If Jews do not want to be associated with Zionism they need to denounce Zionism because Zionism is intentionally actively associating Judaism with Zionism and if Jews do not fight then Zionists will successfully make that association.

I am not saying 'if Jews don't denounce Zionism they deserve to face anti-semitism', I am saying that if Jews do not denounce Zionism they will face anti-semitism, because Zionism intentionally stokes anti-semitism against Jews. I am not making a moral argument in defense of anti-semitism against anyone.

I cannot possibly be clearer that I am not an anti-semite, that I do not hold anti-semetic beliefs, that all I want is for Jews to not be associated with Zionism against their will, which is what was happening in this thread. And just for further clarity, I believe everybody has a moral obligation to condemn Israel even if it is not in their personal best interest, because Israel is committing genocide.

When someone says 'the Jews control the media', the correct response is not 'you can't say that, that's anti-semitic'. It's 'no they don't, you're talking about the Zionists'.

When someone says 'the Jews are interfering with international poltiics'the correct response is not 'you can't say that, that's anti-semitic'. It's 'no they don't, you're talking about the Zionists'.

When someone says 'Jews poisoned wells', the correct response is not 'you can't say that, that's anti-semitic'. It's 'no they didn't, you're talking about the Zionists'.

And if they say 'well, but that's the same thing really, isn't it?' the correct response is 'no, Zionism is not Judaism, the Jews are not to blame for the actions Zionists take, no matter how much Zionists claim they represent all Jews'.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-semitism.

Well just get the army reserve in for 2050 and get them to do it for free, it’s what they’re training for anyway.

It's got to be a troll at this point, surely.

The guy who has spammed the thread with fifty thousand words about cycle paths and urban planning isn't seriously posting pictures of "airports" he sketched on a notepad.

I’d agree with you like a year ago but the NFF have flipped back to being culture warriors and weirdos based on their president.

Final version went to the Transport Minister’s office on Friday. Well, her local office at least, will follow up next week. Thanks again for all the help. Sorry I didn't workshop the cover-letter, it leaned on the "Previous governments have failed to give cycle-planning the respect it deserves, instead relying on local councils to pitch individual segments, but this government has an opportunity to fix that, with a top-down approach to route design that delivers a transformative project you can call your own", which I think is a good angle.

When I don’t hear anything back I’ll encourage everyone to send it to their local councils and MPs and cycling groups and hope it makes its way up from there.


edit - I wish everyone is just nice to Dav in general

Rivercats cruise at about 33 km/hr, and it's 15 km from Newington to the Opera House.

Trip Planner says it's over 30 minutes by train to Central, and I know it took longer than that after Big Day Out.

But sure, it's close and maybe there's too many variables involved, so strike that one if you like.

If we're talking about Kirribilli / Taronga / Rose Bay / Manly, and not just a race to the Quay, then it's obviously no contest.
