    I could never work out precisely what he was, so I'm not sure if it was bestiality. No weirder than a frog and a pig (or the birds and the bees for that matter).

  7. Re:Grammar Standards Imposition on Australian Sex Party May Sue Google Over Ad Refusal · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's not "a sex party", it's "The Sex Party"...that is, it's a political party with policies centred on sexual and gender issues, and has nothing to do with putting your car keys in a bowl.

    I should explain that Australian political parties usually have deceptive names. For example, the Liberal Party are the conservatives, the Labor Party usually puts everyone out of work, One Nation divided the country before forking itself, and the National Party doesn't field candidates in most electorates. The Greens are pretty much what you'd expect, though until recently their leader was a chap by the name of Brown, so while technically they tried to fit in it was a predictably feeble effort. On the New South Wales state level we also have the Christian Democrats, whose values are hardly those of Christ and is run by a religious oligarch, and the Shooters and Fishers Party, which is a reasonably accurate description but they put the "jerk" into "knee-jerk".

    And if you exercise your comprehension skills you'd find the grammatical mistake was on the part of the submitter, not the candidate.

    Because there's nothing one can type that's in worse taste than going out and randomly shooting people. And having once talked a rather unhinged person out of doing just that, all I can say is that the public weeping and wailing is the desired result, and I refuse to encourage more of the same by playing along.

    Two points: (a) I'm not an American, and neither was Voltaire, but congratulations on proving yourself just as much if not more of a mindless bigot as the GPP; and (b) the emphasis was not on rights but on the idiocy of the GPP (hence the use of the term "jackass", though I'll concede the possibility that's regarded as a compliment in your social circles), precisely because I know that the comment won't be removed and being a whiny little bitch about it is utterly pointless.

    Not concern; I've never bothered to avoid rabbits since they're pests, they don't do any damage to the car, and swerving or braking at speed is far more dangerous than just rolling over them. It's merely an anecdotal observation that there just aren't any to hit these days.

    Myxomatosis was deliberately introduced in the 50s...I think the post was referring to the rabbit calicivirus which escaped from Wardang Island quarantine station in 1996. That's actually working quite well so far, in drier areas populations are down by as much as 90% (haven't splattered a bunny on the highway in years), however it remains to be seen whether they'll develop immunity.
