The three 'Inds" do not seem to be capable of biting the bullet and making a decision.
This does not make for 'confidence' in the final outcome.
IMO they are too swept up in their '15 minutes' of fame...

If you view Islam for what it is a violent, medieval, misogynistic cult that worships a murdering pedophile and is hell bent on total world domination and submission of all people then Halal as benign as it might seem on a product label is just the thin end of the wedge.

Well that's just ridiculous and doesn't even desrve a rebuttal.
Well here you have it from the man himself


"Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those people are witless. Islam says: 'Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all!' Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by the infidel? Islam says: 'Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter them.' Islam says: 'Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword.' The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim." Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini


Whatever.

I suppose I could sift through the Old Testament for you... ignoring the actual Talmud itself... and find just a few references to slaughtering men women and children etc....

... but I really can't be bothered.

Sadly this is the very same attitude i am developing with these arguments of late.

My girlfriend told me today that trying to correct people is like trying to teach a pig to dance, you acheive nothing and end up  *censored* ing off the pig.

its a lot easier to teach a kid math than a right-winged fool common sense.

but yes, your analogy breaks down on so many levels.

'Right wing fools' are the ones with all the commonsense.

'They' had a budget surplus!  Cool

The no-ideas spend borrowed money like water, like there's no tomorrow.

There is a tomorrow.

Harking back to the generic brands and the issue of the cost of the original brands being dearer.
For a while I was resenting that too, but it occurs to me that the big multi-nationals have huge resources to fall back on, so their production costs would be a lot lower, wouldn't they?
The family business which has been going for a 100 years, simply can't afford to compete.
In the end, we'll have all generic brands, no competition, and quality will no longer be an issue.
It's sad that we've allowed this to progress  so far.

In the end, we won't be able to afford to buy any of it, and will have to dig up our front and back yards and grow our own food.

People living in apartments will have to grow their food in tubs in their lounge rooms and on their balconies.

Howard was just getting around to doing something about predatory pricing by the big supermarkets, but he was voted out of office.
Rudd promised to do something about it, but like 'all' his other promises...duck egg!

Have you ever considered that those people you are 'trying to correct' may be accurate with their facts? At times we need to step back a peg or two and listen to other people...none of us are correct  100% of the time.
