And their massive property holdings, exproriated from Maori. And their tax-exempt status, which effectively represents a subsidy from every other taxpayer. Love to see a fundie defend that one.

Just so we're clear it's not the position that offends me:
Priest rubbishes welfare system

Really, how do you rationally engage with the fundamentally irrational (if not outright psychotic)?

Just so we're clear what we are "tolerating" here, when Mr Dexter pronounces that "humanity has a problem", he means this:
What is the greatest social issue of our time?
Well .. it's a tough issue. For a start there are far too many homos running around. It's really annoying not being able to take more than a few paces outside without having to risk losing one's lunch. Then there are the adulterers. They should be strung up as an example. I'll not say where or how. But the most egregious social issue of our age is the endless stream of lives that are sacrificed through abortion.Yep, any reasonable person knows that abortion causes poverty. It is undeniably a fact that only the old testament has the answer for that, and it aint welfare (or shellfish-eating or any other quaint customs prevailing a couple of millenia ago in a dusty corner of the globe). Sure aint love either.
Thusly fair Sofie, you were closer to understanding Grant's prescription than mine. Although I imagine a characteristic lack of christian charity from him at any mention of witches.

I like a decent conversation from any point on th political compass. However, I'm over putting up with outright wankers who disrupt the whole space.
If this were really a gathering of folk at what Russell has called "home", then I'd expect the host to help remove the oaf who's spoiling the party. If only to prevent bloodshed.

That's downright hilarious - there's a superhero for every occasion, it seems. :)

I meant that genuinely - I feel the need for an anti-sarcasm tag sometimes..

Wonderful.

And now Veitch's similarly unapologetic wife wades in with more "it's not fair" whining:

Apparently the police should be there to "protect" her and her hubby, rather than investigate him.

Thanks, Tony. I believe it is not possible to argue reasonably with somone who refuses to argue reasonably - hence the pig wrestling comment.
Dexter subtracts. I'd encourage our host to consider permanently banning someone who undermines this forum by their persistently and wilfully ignorant behaviour here. We all know know that's what would happen at a real-world gathering to anyone behaving like that - eventually someone would put out the trash.
In a meeting all day, so this is all I'll say.
