  Do you think local Govts. tolerate religions / cults such as JW`s simply because of the money they can generate with conventions etc.?

  i`m thinking about major conventions held by jw`s either nationally or internationally .they must be a big boost to the local economy when they are held .. think about the major international conventions held by jw`s over the years .

  yankee stadium / polo grounds being one of the major ones ,though its not just confined to the jw`s ,billy graham crusades , and of course the pope`s visits to various countries.. and are they culpable or should they be for promoting these events to occur under there watch ?.

  i mean as an extreme illustration or two here would such govts.

  According to some posters from Sweden, the state owned liquor outlets do very well from JW conventions. Sad to say, this is all too believable.

  Well, mate, if you say so then it must be - you being something of an expert yourself on the matter of "broad brush strokes", as you put it!

  I'll bet you can wash windows better than I can.

  Extremely unlikely, given that I have never washed a window in my life, except for the windscreen on my own car.

  Next time engage your brain first, before putting mouth into gear!

  It must be easy to respond with "Bullshit!" each time someone says anything

  And it is even easier when they are spouting bull$h#t, too!

  It seems one difference between you and I, BB, is that I neither expect nor desire people 12,000 miles to work their knickers into a twist over my circumstances, while you, BB, seem to feel it is your due.

  Nah...... the difference between me and you is that one of us talks out of his @$$.

  Much more of it and they are going to have to bring in the Caterpillar 992 Front-End Loader with its 10 cubic yard bucket, just to clear away the quantity of bull$h#t you have been discharging!

  What is Racially Derogatory Language

  here is australia the race commissioner has claimed senator o'sullivan is in violation of racially derogatory language.

  senator sullivan has said the biggest threat to biosecurity is ' some bloody old chinaman that brings in his favourite sausage down the front of his undies' chin tan said using the word chinaman is offensive.

  makes you wonder is englishman or australian man or scotsman is also just as offensive.

  I have known more than a few Chinese people, and for some reason they all take exception to the term "Chinaman".

  During instances of human suffering, it is common to experience feelings of inadequacy. Having been involved for decades in first aid work, this is not the first time I have felt rather inadquate, and I daresay it won't be the last either! That doesn't mean, though, that one cannot show empathy for the injured person; nor does it mean it is wrong ("hypocritical") to do so. However, I am enough of a realist to know that from 12,000 miles away, there is little or nothing that I as an individual can do to help in this instance.

  How would you feel if you were the one being semi-suffocated while undergoing a beating, followed by bones being broken, with the whole lot capped off by a 5,000 volt Megger being shoved up your @$$ ? Then, to add insult to injury, anybody subsequently hearing about this outrage and expressing their disgust gets branded a hypocrite? Your feelings might be somewhat different, I would imagine!

  It has been my experience that those making the loudest accusations of hypocrisy are usually themselves some of the worst offenders.

  Apparently - because little or nothing can be done to help these victims of torture - we should all shut up, look the other way and pretend that it didn't happen!

  Sadly, very few countries are exactly squeaky clean when it comes to this sort of thing. Particularly during irregular warfare (such as the fight against terrorism) are the gloves all too often removed.

  However, the fact that "others do it too" is not an excuse - it never was, and never will be!

  (Speaking as somebody who takes strong exception to the mistreatment of animals, let alone human beings).

  How is it a good example with what ever you call it?
  

  Easy enough to hold your attitude - just as long as you are not on the receiving end yourself!

  Tell that to the governments of the world they seem to think it can be justified, say, defending some ideology called freedom be it what ever they call freedom.

  The old "Ends Justify the Means" argument once again!
