Ta - I’ll have a listen. Today I’m at my ADFA graduation - yay. Followed by obligatory AWM.
I’m aware of the “mother’s” speech propaganda angle. Also that Kemal was personally awol for a lot of the 25th chasing an imaginary landing. When he got back to Baby 700 in early/mid afternoon he found his morning attack had broken down and was forced to fix a compounding mess. Which he did with a reorg of units and artillery plan. Alas for the mix of Australian and NZ troops.
Baby 700 was pivotal for a future sustainable defence of status quo but was only supportive for the days main goal. Which was a cover line on second ridge by 3/2 Bde behind which the 1Bde and NZ&A Division would form up and then exploit to Mal Tepe.

I'm a connoisseur of cringe & Dave Silverman is a master chef.
Vitsmun says Silverman, who was fired from his position at American Atheists after he was accused of forcing himself on one woman and using his position to pressure another woman into sex, caressed the small of her back at a gathering of like-minded non-believers on Nov. 2. That was less than a month after the Friendly Atheist reported that Silverman joined Atheist Alliance International.
On Dec. 3, a month after the alleged incident, Vitsmun posted that Silverman had “creepy-touched” her at a party.
Thanks from me as well, Kiwi - though I don't know when we're doing another long drive to listen to it (kids get DVDs in the back, my wife and I listen to RN podcasts... ).Brive1987 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 1:24 pmTa - I’ll have a listen.

My relatives lived in a compulsory-voting country too - The German Democratic Republic.

Just go stand in that other line, give your name and address, and ask for the ballot marked 'nein'.I didn't know voting is compulsory in Australia. What an interesting idea.
Civics class of just that sort was part of the curriculum in junior high when I went.

It would not involve discussion of policy, only of the mechanics of government and parliamentary democracy.

He seemed to become a libertarian awfully quickly and seemed to spout all of the basic libertarian talking points without much evidence that he had though about them or really understood them. I think he is influenced by whoever he is talking to at the time.
That's been a common point about Dave for over a year:
It's actually pretty routine for someone defecting from the left to the right to move immediately to a moderate form of libertarianism, especially if the reason for the defection was an encounter with leftist anti-individualism. He now seems to be migrating to mild conservatism, which isn't an uncommon progression. I think his original atheism was more an agnostic antitheism, and he's now dropping the antitheism.
Holy crap. Silverman touched the wrong atheist! I don't know what what to make of the actual touching: the victim's own words make it sound-like she was trrrigggereddd in an almost cartoonish way. Like, I used to know someone who was so afraid of snakes, that-- she couldn't even hear the word 'snake'-- no matter softly-spoken, or lighthearted, or even in-passing on television... without her having a panic-attack. This woman's PTSD could be that absurd-- and her therapist could be abetting the snowflakery. If an adult is that-easily triggered... then she's a fucking idiot for going anywhere-near Silverman. He OBVIOUSLY can't turn the creepy 'off', baby! That's no secret or a surprise!

It's compulsory to *show up* at a polling station or postal lodge a vote. Because Oz still uses paper, whether you make a valid vote is up to you, and the only check is that the right coloured paper ends up in the right ballot box. You also don't need to produce any ID when they tick you off on the (paper) electoral roll, after the standard question: "have you voted today?' ... "No". So, no problem making an informal vote and no penalty. Rather charming laid-back arrangement.Keating wrote: ↑It's still a secret ballot, and the fine is small.

It just goes to show how much of a shit David Silverman really is, and how little Justin Vacula really isn't. He needed no vindication, of course, but this proves it.Service Dog wrote: ↑Holy crap.

One of my amusements was regularly making Saul Bitter-Pill's head explode. My last comment prior to my WEIT banning [and quite possibly the reason for my ban] was in response to the humorless one's assertion that if you draw a gun against an attacker, they'll almost always wrest it out of your hands and turn it on you. "Tell that to Michael Brown", I replied.Lsuoma wrote: ↑That's a great indicator of someone to avoid at all costs, since it indicates that they are a totally humourless bastod!Driftless wrote: ↑ Article at WEIT about article in Independent that may or may not be by Titania.

Of course if machine voting is ever introduced, then unless there is a 'INFORMAL' button, voting *will* be compulsory.

The disdain for the neanderthal electorate is widely shared, as is the whine that the 'first past the post' system is rigged. But hey, Saul, you lost the direct referendum, and now you just lost the indirect election, too. I think the form of government you pine for isn't democracy, it's oligarchy.You can’t just switch from representational democracy – where people vote in people who make the tough, technical, hugely complicated decisions on their behalf – to a one-off, binary referendum on one of the most important, complex, multi-faceted decisions ever, decided by a general public which doesn’t really have a clue what it’s voting for.

https://www.idrlabs.com/tests.phpYou are 51% Fascist, which makes you a Crypto-Fascist.
It would appear that there is a significant degree of agreement between your preferred political doctrines and those of fascism. Since fascism is really a mix of communism, socialism, conservatism, and liberalism, with a few innovations of its own thrown in, it is scarcely surprising that most people's political outlook will have quite a few similarities with the doctrines of fascism. However, even after taking these thresholds into account, the most likely interpretation of your answers on the test is that you are someone who is right on the verge of being a fascist proper. Now, maybe you don't think of yourself in that way, but nevertheless research in the social sciences has repeatedly shown that a significant percentage of the population is naturally attracted to authoritarian political doctrines (of which fascism is but one example). In fact, one study even found that in the case of people who are drawn to order and control, these values are more important to them than more mainstream political parameters, such as the traditional left and right. In all likelihood, those values are among the most important ones to you as well.
