gender fluid

With apologies to Jimmy Carr:

My friends are expecting a baby. They were planning a gender-reveal party.

I advised them to wait at least eighteen years. Give the kid a chance to trial some genders and decide which ones it prefers.

btw: I don't mind what gender you choose. As long as you don't mind which pronoun I use.

fake 7 news

I do hope that the Channel 7 News will provide full names and addresses of the Girrahween (alleged) home invasion thugs.

Just as they provided full identifying details of the Bondi stabber.

Sure, they were completely wrong... but I'm sure that a "scoop" is sufficient reward for setting the lynch mob onto an innocent person.

group-think

Walter Horeb (Letters 18 Apr) has not previously seen the animosity and polarisation that he saw in the 2023 Voice referendum.

He must have slept through the 2017 Same-sex debate.

It's the way our "democracy" operates: No-one wants to know what we think, everyone wants to force us to think alike.

19apr24: printed in The West as All must agree

They made some minor changes.

Their title is boring -- and misleading.

My group-think title was far better :-)

baggy to prison green

a man follows a woman to her home. it seems that the woman and the man know each other, media reports give no details. They do not live together.

the man hammers on a window. shouts abuse. threatens to kill the woman. He breaks the window. enters the house and physically attacks the woman. Including grabbing her by the throat.

At what point did these actions change from breaking and entering and aggravated assault to, "alleged domestic violence"?

Was it when the man was identified as an ex-famous cricketer?

bikies can count

it's a tough life being a bikie.

according to an ex-bikie, it takes two bikies to count the day's takings. You know, the perfectly legitimate cash income from a day of selling small beer at school fetes and charity functions.

two bikies. not because not one of them can count to twenty thousand without cutting off someone else's fingers. it takes two because they can't trust counting done by just one.

then they seal the cash away so that it won't be pinched by another gang member.

i mean, it's so sad. if you can't trust the brothers in your own outlaw motorcycle gang, then who can you trust.

nowadays, crypto currency makes money laundering so much easier. though there are other problems.

when next you see the body of a bikie killed by another bikie, look for the patch of missing skin.

that's where the tattoo of the gang's crypto password has been cut from the body.

terrorism

a teenage boy takes a knife, leaves home, travels to a church -- with the clear intention of stabbing a self-declared "bishop". the boy's actions appear to have religious motivation.

all of this fits the NSW definition of "terrorism"

members of the congregation restrain the boy until police arrive. 

this is the end of sanity.

a mob of violent thugs leave home, take up weapons, travel to the church --destroying anything and anyone that is not a part of their mob.

their claim is that they want to  to "defend their religion"

Their actual demand is that the boy, already restrained, be sent out to face mob vengence.

by the legal definition -- the mob action is terrorism. 

once we name it, we can deal with it.

why are we afraid to name it?
