    On PA System, we can give people information about ourselves via the website link option, but that's about it. You can kind of do a stalkery search on Google, but I'd really like the ability to be able to check out all the posts a user has made (or perhaps just all the discussions they've been involved with). And that would be useful for helping newcomers figure out who's who.

    Well you can already do that by popping their name in search.....but I wouldn't want to make it any more comprehensive than it is because that would be kind of exposing. If you search someone you get a selection of what they have posted, not necessarily in chronological order and not everything. Again, I like that. It gives you a feel without enabling lazy stalkers.
    (By search I mean within Public Address System)

    Will they have white gloves? I sincerely hope so because that would be awesome.

    My reading is that that alliance is a highly contentious issue in the community, for that reason and others.

    Indeed. I wouldn't want to wade into that one myself. I am nowhere near informed enough. I only joined in this conversation to
    agree with Felix about the definition of "Judeo-Christian".

    I have always understood "Judeo-Christian" to be more of a reference to the historical origins of a religion. Islam, for example, has Judeo-Christian origins whereas Hinduism doesn't.

    That was my understanding too. The term doesn't need to be so loaded. Judeo-Christian ideas are woven into the fabric of everyday life in ways that a lot of us are probably not even aware of.

    But I can see where Stephen Judd was coming from with this:

    Yes, they are a rhetorical strategy for the American fundamentalist Christian right to disarm the Jews, who historically have been active in insisting on enforcing the constitutional separation of church and state.

    It must be annoying for Jewish people to be co-opted into the values of the American fundamentalist Christian right.

    Besides which people here have mostly been ridiculing punctuation and bad political management.

    Don't be hasty Andy, stay for a cup of tea.

    I am only taking the piss out of the big B Tamaki.

    Welcome brother, Colin Espiner

    I'll just say this is proof that there is a merciful and loving God (and one with a great sense of cosmic irony), who really wants to be left out of New Zealand's domestic politics.

    Can I get an amen!

    Amen Brother, Preach It.
