Simon Overland has decided to attend St Kilda’s annual Gay Pride March. I disagree with it. I disagreed with it when Christine Nixon did it and I disagree with it now that this muppet is doing it. “It’s a message to the broader community about tolerance and inclusivity,” says the muppet…

Why attend this march? Are we having gay men and women vilified and assaulted across Victoria? Is there some massive problem that I’m unaware of? Will he attend Noel’s “Flight of The Angels” in March to show support victims of crime, you know, the people he is PAID to protect and has not??? What about all the other worthy causes, marches and protests that take place throught the year, what about the indian students for that matter??? BAH!

Over here, the only people with guns are the crooks.

Not the case in Switzerland…

Nope. This one is not about that terrible song with the same name. This rather, is about the silly West Gate Bridge suicide fiasco…

Now we all know that it’s just silly to put up these suicide barriers on that bridge.

We all know (even if some of us don’t want to admit it) that this will do nothing to prevent suicides whatsoever.

We all know that the State’s decision to finally cave in and put permanent barriers up is for political reasons only (an election this year).

We all know that the supposed 20 million these barriers will cost would be better spent on education, services and support networks for the mentally ill.

BUT, what we don’t already know is that they are already going off the Bolte Bridge instead…

“I don’t tell everybody they should give money – they can’t afford it.

When I was a working man I didn’t want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa.

I’m sorry mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done. It just makes me angry. I become all tyrannical.

Bob Geldof is a canny lad. He did what he thought was right at the time but it didn’t work. The money didn’t go to poor people. It makes me mad when people try to use politics or charity for publicity.

Once upon a time, Melbourne was a safe place to live. I have fond memories of being able to stroll around town without the fear of being harassed, intimidated, assaulted, robbed etc. And I’m talking only 10 to 15 years ago!

What’s happened since, what has caused this?

A trendy left wing motivated soft on crime agenda by our elected officials has turned my city and state from “The Place To Be” into “The Place To Be For Crooks”!!!

What next, appoint Chopper Reid as Victoria’s Tourism Ambassador?

Anyway, in yet another attempt to induce anarchy on our streets, our Spring Street legislators have seen fit to reduce the fines/penalties/infringements for public transport users. This might appear to be a good thing but I’m telling you right now that it aint, because this reduction in penalties doesn’t apply to everyone…

Fines for a “Child” have been reduced to $58 across the board (Oh, and a “child” is anyone up to the age of 18). Check it out HERE at the Department of Transport website.

Here are some examples;

Fail to produce a valid ticket – $172 normally, now $58 if you’re a “child”.

Drinking alcohol on any vehicle or premises – $286 normally, now $58 if you’re a “child”.

Spitting on people – $292 normally, now $58 if you’re a “child”.

Using indecent, obscene, offensive or threatening language – $229 normally, now $58 if you’re a “child”.

Behaving in an obscene, offensive, threatening, disorderly or riotous manner – $229 normally, now $58 if you’re a “child”.

Train surfing, destroying/defacing property, graffiti, lighting a fire in or on a vehicle…

…You guessed it, all $58 for a “child”.

This is complete lunacy!!!

Sadly, for those of us left that are decent and law abiding, Victoria has become the place to run away from.

“One might also add that Abbott’s tender appreciation of female chastity would sit happily alongside that of an unreconstructed cave-dweller such as, say, Osama bin Laden.”

According to the Herald Sun, distraught parents are intending to sue the Government of Victoria and VicRoads over the suicide death of their children. They are claiming that these tragic events could have been avoided had there been proper anti-suicide fencing installed on the West Gate Bridge.

This Herald Sun article goes on to quote a breathtakingly stupid statement made in some Coroner’s report from 2004;

“There is clear evidence that erecting safety barriers on a bridge prevents people from using that particular structure to commit suicide…”

Ummmmm….That would be self evident wouldn’t it???!!!

Now obviously if the fences had always been there, the children of these parents would not have been able to jump off the West Gate Bridge in the first place. But can these grieving parents, or anyone else for that matter, be sure those children would not have attempted suicide in some other way?

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare published a report in 2009 entitled “A Review of Suicide Statistics in Australia”.It shows that between the years of 1997 to 2006, 10,318 people hanged themselves, this being the most frequently used method for that period of time. Next most frequent was “poisoning by other methods” (such as carbon monoxide poisoning) with 4,781 people choosing that method.

And so it goes on…

And the number of suicides by falls between the years of 1997 to 2006?

Nine hundred and thirty one.

No, I’m afraid that these tragic deaths are not the fault of the State Government and VicRoads.

Sadly, these parents are clutching at straws .

Whenever I hear this chap speak about “climate change”, I am quite frankly stunned that he has not yet been assasinated by any number of environmental lunatics!

If you have the time I strongly urge you to listen to THIS interview.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

I seem to be writing about this clown with increasing frequency. This time, self appointed social commentator Dick Smith thinks that we’re all going to be dead in a few years unless something is done to curb our fast growing population. I can’t find a direct quote, but media outlets are suggesting that one of his crack pot ideas is to discourage women from having more than two babies.

How does one do that exactly, “discourage” women from having “more than two” children?

I’m tipping that Smith has no idea how, I’m actually hoping that he has no idea. Reason being, the notion that there are those in this country that would be prepared to accept, and implement the policy of “discouraging” women from having children fills me with dread.

The arguments against ever doing such a thing in a Western democracy should be patently obvious to anyone with even a modicum of intelligence and compassion.

How ironic that the Left are sadly lacking in both of those departments.

Obama has failed his first real popularity poll since winning the last US presidential election.

REPUBLICANS appear to have won a stunning upset in Massachusetts’ Senate election, dealing a potentially fatal blow to President Barack Obama’s health care reforms.

Republican Scott Brown pulled off the surprise victory in the historically Democratic state in a rebuke of Mr Obama one year after he took office.

Funnily enough, it was no shock to me. What is a shock however, is some of the reactions to his victory. This one in particular.

“In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees.”

I would expect that sort of hyperbole from bloggers. Hell, it sounds like something I myself might say, BUT, not from (allegedly) respected public newsmen like MSNBC’s Keith Olberman. Olberman said that before Scott was even elected. Obviously some kind of attempt to sway voters. I guess it worked! Thanks Keith.

It says something about the political affiliations of many political commentators.

********************************************************************

IRAN has just executed three rapists and murderers.

According to them “the death penalty is necessary for maintaining public security and is applied only after exhaustive judicial proceedings.”

How come they are so enlightened?

********************************************************************

FIVE out of six passengers travelling in the same car are now dead as a result of hoon behaviour. This incident, which has been described as “a desperately sad situation” by Deputy Commissioner Ken “LEADFOOT” Lay is just that…FIVE kids are dead due to nothing more than their own stupidity.

But here’s the thing. It could have been much much worse, could it not? These kids were hoons, no doubt about it, right? Just imagine if these hoons had ploughed into someone crossing the road, killing an innocent person. Just imagine that sort of tragedy.

And before you feel sorry for these kids, stop for a moment and imagine your wife, your mother or your own son or daughter crossing the road. Imagine a loved one being mown down by these hoons.

How much sympathy would you have for them then?

The love affair with the great pretender Obama continues. Not only do we have the peace prize, the statue, the public holiday proposal, we now have….***drum roll please*** The Musical AND the turning back of the doomsday clock!

The musical stages two moving and exciting stories in parallel plots. The audience looks behind the scenes of the presidential election in 2008 and follows the career of the present US president Barack Obama. The main character is presented less on a political level, but rather as an emotional person who fights for a new, more forgiving and peaceful world and a better future. At the same time, the viewer experiences the societal events from the point of view of a multi-cultural apartment-sharing community in Chicago. Caused by the prevailing tight political and economic situation, societal and social frictions and emotions arise. The people are given new hope by the new spirit of the age.

Yeah whatever dude.

And the clock thing

International scientists nudged back the minute hand of the symbolic Doomsday clock Thursday, as they praised President Barack Obama for helping to pull the world back from nuclear or environmental catastrophe.

“It is six minutes to midnight,” the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (BAS), which created the Doomsday clock in 1947 as a barometer of how close the world is to an apocalyptic end, said in a statement read out as the clock’s countdown to midnight was turned back by one minute.

Totally, 100% nauseating.

Lets not forget this “great pretender” has the lowest approval ratings (for this point in his term) of any other US president in history.

His fans and beginning to reek of desperation.

I expect to hear the Pope has once again changed the rules RE sainthood to include those still living.

Watch this space.
