Very simple, and self evident.

1. Don't continue arguments in the quotes threads

2. Don't post anything that could be remotely construed as a personal attack.

This is the Covenant of the Quote Threads

We had mixed platoons when I was training. There were two types of chicks. There were chicks who were chicks, and chicks who were blokes.

There were also two types of blokes. There were blokes who responded to the chicks who were chicks as chicks, and blokes who ignored them trying to be chicks.

The chicks who were chicks pissed me off no end. We were supposed to be training for combat, not flirting. I have no doubt whatsoever that in a combat situation the blokes who responded to the chicks being chicks would react very differently to, say, me or one of the chicks who were chicks getting wounded. And indeed in much less extreme situations.

But it's not just the chicks who were chicks who were the problem.

I reacted differently to any kind of suffering in the chicks who were blokes from how I reacted to any of the blokes suffering. Even the little blokes, who were probably physically weaker than a lot of the chicks.

These are not things you can legislate away.

What is the difference between order, balance, and harmony?

From: Sensible Cyril ® Subject: re: Thinking Thinking Thinkin post id: 5487

"Order" can represent either the chaste symmetry of pure randomness, or highly-structured, semi stable patterns maintained by self-reinforcing
dynamics. "Balance" generally evokes "twoness", the base number of symmetry, again characteristic of both randomness & the complex bifurcatory potentialities of highly evolved states. "Harmony" can describe the manifold polyphonic/polymorphic interactions of long, pretentious words.

You start off with Joyce Meyer who is not too bad, follow that up with the Copelands who specialise in terrible accents and Hicksville preaching and then the prize - Benny Hinn. After an hour of healing and casting out devils, the inspirational Hinn flashes his carefully coiffed wig, beams his toothpaste-advert smile and demands money with menaces.

But are you a tree-hugging/greeny/hippy?

No.

I’m a tree killer. Trees are plants. Plants where we don’t want them are weeds. Trees where we don’t want them are weeds. That’s my philosophy. All we have to do is decide where we want them.

I’m a brown. My Australia is tropical. It doesn’t rain in winter. The land is brown, the grass is brown, the creeks are brown. Green is the colour of the summer when the ground’s to wet to move and the air is too hot to breath. That’s nature in my Australia. Green is a colour for a European environment, and the green philosophy is best suited to a European environment. Australian environmentalists need to be brown.

I’m a conservative. I like this country, people, land and all. I want to conserve it. I don’t want to preserve it in a bottle like rosellas in a jam. I want people to be able to live it and embrace it, not just see it through the glass.

I love music....all sorts, country and western, big band, classical, pre 50's style music, 50's rock n roll, and some opera classics.
My question concerns my voice or lack thereof....although I try awful hard I find it difficult to produce a note that is pleasant to other people's ears.....I sound OK to myself, but throughout my life I have been ejected from church choirs, karaoke sing-a-longs, and my Mrs even tells me to shutup my bathroom singing.
Last night was the last straw....after a couple of Fosters and some Kava, I joined in a typical Fijian sing-a-long. Even the lubricating of my tonsils did not improve the quality of my attempt at singing, and all I seemed to do was provoke tears of laughter and put the guitarist out of tune.
Am I to be forever shunned from uttering a musical note?...am I tone deaf?......as I have pointed out, to my own ears I sound great...no Caruso but OK......maybe everyone else is tone deaf....what do you lot think?

Is Hamish calling Weetbix Kid "Monkey Boy"?

I thought I was Monkey Boy, and that Hamish was Weetbix Kid.

I'm so 'fused ... but content.

I apologise unreservedly for my comments Hamish, I got a bit caught up in the emotion of the moment. You are not a monkey boy. Now, how about you come here and give me a big sloppy kiss to show you forgive my transgression.

I am having such a good time, i can't work.

I watched 10-15 minutes of one episode of the first series.

My lawyers have been in contact with Channel Ten, demanding that they return the 10-15 minutes of my life that I will never get back. I don't need to be "entertained" by something even duller and stupider than my real life.

.... I regret to have to report that your skin doesn't get smoother as you get older.

It is noticeable that fatter people tend to have smoother (less wrinkled) complexions than thinner ones. When one passes 50 you have a choice between being slim and looking your age and being overweight and keeping your smooth complexion. The advantage is all with men here, the tall slim craggy and weatherbeaten look is quite fashionable for men (Harrison Ford, Paul Hogan etc.)- not so for women.

welcome to the "hitler" effect of the 21st century.

Just as in the last half of the 20th century, comparing someone to hitler would immediately lose you the argument, I maintain that stating "I find this offensive" should immediately lose you the argument in this the 21st century.
