If you try to argue that ’social liberalism’ and ‘liberalism’ came from christianity in anything other than the most fleeting sense of acknowledging that free will has been press-ganged by the jesus freaks as their posterboy for why ‘x did y’, you are a complete fucking idiot.

Religion has nothing to do with individualism and everything to do with suppressing it. You can argue until you’re blue in the face that the modern foundation upon which liberty is based came from a christian society, but keep in mind that the jurist system came from witch trials, that evidence law came from the spanish inquisition, that the geneva convention came out of the horrors of WWI.

Human nature is characterised by its ability to extract even a grain of wonderment out of the atrocities of holocausts.

To even think, in any serious sense that religions, particularly christianity, espoused individual liberty and championed the individual, is such onanistic, solipsistic, puerile ignorance that of course, only religion could be involved.

There’s a solid case for the fact that yes, those who work in academia tend to be biased to a certain political viewpoint. It also turns out that tradies love women with very little clothes on and cheap zoo magazines and the police love to fuck with muslims and touch little children. You are fairly easily described by your occupation and how you spend your time. You see, the thing about the whole make education fair failing so utterly amazingly is the fact that it is both condescending and naive at the same time.

Point 1: If you recognise the bias, you’ve already won.

We, as a group of individuals impinge upon our own wants and desires to live happily with others. For example, you don’t go around wantonly murdering everyone that slights you, do you? You don’t shit in public fountains for the benefit of a clamoring crowd, do you? You don’t vomit on the command of a romanian circusmaster named pierre, do you? Why, might you ask, eyes shining with the slick of ignorance and adolescence?

Because some shit you just put the fuck up with and accept, okay? Sometimes you just sigh, give up and take a right royal pounding because at the end of the day a torn ring is probably a superior outcome. However, I shall branch out from the idiocies of ad-hominem attacks on those who were so tirelessly dedicated to the cause that they went countless nights without sleep, ever vigilant lest the shadow of leftism stalk through their bedroom door and highlight their textbooks in an avante garde manner.

I shall perform the next section in the form of a Dear Agnes letter.

Dear Agnes,

I’ve recently come into a spot of bother, you see, my usual sponsor has gone through the wringer, and come up twopenny short of a full quid. To put it in laymans terms, we’re screwed from the ground up. There’s a new social order in power and we’ve just lamped the last bastards to hold this job. I’ve been thrown the top position in this new gig and hope to make a splash so that I can spend the rest of my utterly thankless and inconsequential life as a backbencher in a safe nationals seat, only occasionally masturbating to the corpses of aborigines/the dirty underwear of my sister.

Would you please, dearest agnes, avail me of some inconsequential campaign that would allow me to curry favour with the higher ups, achieve great levelness in the younger liberaches, and generally look like a cunt who wouldn’t know social rape from an Enid Blyton novel.

Yours in Christ,

Noel McCoy

Well, dear readers, it seems Mrs Agnes responded in kind to Noel’s quiet suggestion by saying ‘hey you should rip off the campaign the young republicans did because you’re all in a state of shock/have the creative panache of a cancerous uterus” and off they went.

Claiming Senate inquiries here and there.

Side note, claimed from wikipedia:

Things a senate inquiry is supposed to investigate:

• Motherfuckers fucking up other people’s shit
• Kevin Rudd touching little girls for votes
• Julie Bishop lacking any shreds of humanity
• Labor censoring shit ‘for the lulz’
• People in the army randomly killing people and then being like ‘oh soz’

Things a senate inquiry isn’t supposed to investigate:

• Why that rapscallion down the street is charging more for his lemonade on a hot day than on a cool one
• Why you can’t ever communicate the name of that show you once saw and it was so good
• Why you still can’t eat a kebab after seeing your parents have sex
• Why you’re upset because your lecturer used the words ‘labour’, ‘theory’ and ‘value’ within 1000,000,000,000 words of one another

You see, it’s one thing for a party who bases its mandate on social justice to abuse the powers of governance and stick their nose into everything, it’s another thing for those from the youth wing of a party which ostensibly supports individual freedom to fuck with the intellectual freedom of others under the auspices of keeping things ‘fair and balanced’.

You lost before you even started. You idiots, you of all people should have known you cannot use the government as a blunt tool to enforce a particular standard of morality. So what, a few people lost marks here and there because they didn’t mention marx here and there, we live, we learn, we love.

We develop. We cannot, particularly at this time, enforce a stagnating set of intellectual criterion upon the greater population through basically crossing our fingers and hoping nick minchin hasn’t been laid in a while. If you have a legitimate gripe with what your lecturers are saying “Lol I love palestine, kill the jews” or “lol the earth is 6,000 years old, you will be tested on this” you actually have a route, a method, a pathway… to some semblance of inner calm.

Calling Coonan and having a cry because Commander ‘not getting paid that much’ doesn’t like the free market, is fucking pathetic and intellectually dishonest.

If your eventual aim is to censor people who disagree with you, you’re no better than they are.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.  ~Aristotle. Either we discern our current political positions from evidence and logic, or we do not. You can embrace idealism, and countless young ones do, but keep in mind that behind the figure of idealism lurks a list of atrocities against humanity so great that even in millenia to come we will still be slightly watery eyed at the prospect of such evil ever repeating itself.

Interface:
MP lobby is a fucking piece of shit and you can only see like 15-20 servers at once
Refreshing only works some of the time
Filters need a refresh to apply
If you do anything (AT ALL -  like try to view server stats etc) while refreshing the game  just
completely fucking breaks and you have to restart it
All  menus  are  childish  and  terrible,  they  are  not  even  fit  for  console  use  (they  appear
designed for such, COD4 also had massive massive fonts) they are so jaggedy-low-res
Thanks for the extra step accessing the fucking mouse sensitivity I ADJUST THAT A *LOT*
Graphics and audio:
It looks fairly pretty but suffers from an enormous need for antialiasing
I have never seen so many jagged edges in my fucking life, what is going on dickheads
I swear to god the dogs sounded a hell of a lot more awesome in the beta
The guns all sound like shit
Really some of them are less realistic than team fagtress
What is it about a scope that makes any rifle it is added to suddenly omniaudible no matter
how far away you are
Gameplay:
Oh jesus, here we go
Fucking what  the  hell  is  the  goddamned  deal with  spawns,  they  are  SO  shit  it  has  gone
beyond a fucking joke
In TDM you are constantly spawned either way out in the open, in the absolute epicentre of
enemy troop concentrations or both
You can’t have fun in FFA don’t even try, two out of every five spawns on average is directly
in some cunt’s line of fire and they’re already firing at you before you even spawn I mean fuck off
There  is  some  kind of mouse  lag bullshit,  I don’t  know but  I  can’t  track  targets down  the
irons like I can in every other fucking game
FUCK stop resetting everything you bastarding son of a bastard, yes when  I change to first-
person spec I want to still be in first-person spec next time I die and… no this deserves it’s own point
FUCK  YOU  FUCK  YOU  *FUCK*  YOU;  STOP  RESETTING  MY  FUCKING  FOV  YOU  SHIT  SHIT
*SHIIIIIT* GAME – EVERY SINGLE ROUND
They nerfed  the  fucking dogs  from  their beta  glory,  seriously  the only notably  good  thing
ménage-a-treyarch added
The MG42 basically makes you god, you can use  it  like  it’s a  fucking SMG even  though  it’s
like 4m long or something

If you weren’t aware, I rehosted the HSC 2008 list of high achievers that leaked early, so we had quite an inundation of traffic from non regular viewers.

Regardless, you should hope to see some decent content here soon.

I’ve got stuff on make education fair (Dated, woo!), the whole cap and trade emissions stuff and all other manner of things.

Enjoy your holidays, guys!

I’m not going to copy/paste it out of respect for the man.

In a spark of brilliance, the god of the markets spoke through me and wondered: Would it now be possible to produce a claymation film that would be classified as child porn?

A case of beer to the person that provides rule 34 proof.

I realise that this post makes me guilty of some horrendous crime, but the concept makes me laugh so hard that I feel it’s worth it.

From lulz to long bay; the Ultimate Science Team story.

From the Smersh:

A Supreme Court judge has ruled that an internet cartoon, in which child characters resembling those from The Simpsons engage in sexual acts, is child porn. The main issue of the case was whether a fictional cartoon character could “depict” a “person” under law.

I’ll just stop here, that’s right. A fictional cartoon character now apparently depicts ‘a person’ under law. Ostensibly then you could commit egregious acts of slander/libel against others by creating cartoons of them in compromising situations. This is just… beyond the pale. Continuing:

But Justice Adams agreed with the magistrate. He found that, while The Simpsons characters had hands with four fingers and their faces were “markedly and deliberately different to those of any possible human being”, the mere fact that they were not realistic representations of human beings did not mean that they could not be considered people.

Ponder that for a second. That’s right. The mere fact that they’re FICTIONAL FUCKING CHARACTERS, you know, COMPLETE AND UTTER FABRICATED CREATIONS, doesn’t detract from the fact that something sinister has gone on here, or some equally as specious reasoning to make this shit illegal. Oh but don’t worry, the Judge lets fire on just how specious the reasoning was:

Justice Adams said the purpose of the legislation was to stop sexual exploitation and child abuse where images of “real” children are depicted.

However it was also to deter the production of other material, including cartoons, that could “fuel demand for material that does involve the abuse of children”.

That’s right. Captain judge mc idiot over here has decided arbitrarily that the depiction of something rather twisted but nonetheless FICTITIOUS fuels contact offenses and the demand for child porn.

Yep, that’s right. Some idiot fucking around with his wacom is now as high up on the cops hitlist as Geoff Leonard or Dennis Ferguson.

So if you get drunk one night, or even sober, fuck around with photoshop or the like, and a cop or some other moral authoritarian sees, you could be spending the next ten years in long bay because some idiot judge who doesn’t understand the difference between reality and fiction is scared about ‘teh chillun’.

Because obviously if you stumble upon some messed up cartoons you’re a contact offender and need to be put in gaol. What the fuck is going on with this country.

No need to wonder Ladies and Gentlemen, it was none other than Keith Windschuttle himself, the conservative other conservatives secretly wish would just go away. He’s a sloppy historian who has made some corrections to Aboriginal history but drowned them in dreadful ‘undergraduate tone’ prose and rah-rah left hatred. Mythologise the Scottish Enlightenment all you like, Mr Windschuttle, but don’t claim to be a part of it. You are neither even-handed nor brilliant.

Under his editorial reign, Quadrant has thickened (dimensionally and intellectually). No longer a magazine of ideas, it seems mostly to consist of Necrophiliac imperialists (all hail the dead white male) ’sticking it’ to the Left. Again, I must say it has taken a decidedly ‘undergraduate tone’.

Australian Liberals, American Idiocy

Well, the Senate Inquiry into university bias has found that the Young Liberals campaign for ‘fair and balanced’ universities was childish and had a decidedly ‘undergraduate tone’. Snap. The submission itself was incredibly embarrassing - Dan and I spent an afternoon chortling over the idiocy it contained. From memory it consisted mostly of syllabi with the words gender, class, and race highlighted. Such brilliant insights from the young minds of our political future.

The campaign, of course, was based on one run in the United States (by David ‘I love Israeli Genocide’ Horowitz). Dr Horowitz is the author of such wondrous tomes as The Professors: The 100 Most Dangerous Academics in America. Note: Fowler’s strongly suggests the use of academician. Electricity - electrician, academy - academician.

I commend the Young Liberals for trying to foster a policy movement in Conservative youth but this campaign shows us just how far we have to travel. Australia does not have a Conservative intellectual movement. We have many intelligent Conservatives without a real core voting bloc. Were one to be formed and made central to a new, reformed Liberal Party we could have ‘perpetual’ Coalition government. The less intelligent amongst the Conservative movement (especially a few of the parliamentarian drongos) tend towards excessive behaviour because they lack tact and critical thinking skills. The Member for Genetically Modified Orgasms is a case in point…

Conservatives can become academicians - in the Classics, Theology, Medieval Studies, Philosophy and so on and so forth. Perhaps in the near future the media will interview intellectuals as Conservatives rather than ‘Bob’ from the Shire who ‘reckons all them immigrantss should rack off’. Liberals! Make cogent arguments in English and express complex thoughts to the populace, and you will be surprised at how grateful they are that you aren’t talking down to them. The economy is hotting up and cooling down? Is it an engine or a complex array of transactions and regulatory interactions between private individuals, the state, and corporations?

To end on a decidedly undergraduate note: Fuck Off Dumb Cunts, Bring on the Smart Blokes!!

I find this utterly hilarious. Normal programming to resume as soon as Justin and I get our act together. Future targets include internet censortrons, wtfs goin on in the world, the interthreads and many more. Comment on this if you actually read this fucking blog to tell us what to write about.

It’s either that or vogon poetry.
