NZ Bloggers in Ass-Kicking shock!
Yeah, I'm in Auckland. Today I'm going to go and direct someone to film the Skytower and other iconic NZ landmarks. When you see it on my tv show you can say: 'I was totally reading her blog back then.' It will be a moment. Then you can reach for your remote and say: 'Gee, her writing's a lot less funny on tv.'
Bloggers are everywhere here. One of them even has a column in the Sunday newspaper. Seriously. There's 'Jonathan Milne, Political Editor', 'Julie Birchill, English Novelist' and ' Damian Christie, Blogger'. Even better, there was a huge article about a celebrity pub quiz held by a hot record label in association with the New Zealand blogging collective.
Why are we not living it hard like this? I know how many hot , rock n roll , devastatingly cool saucepot Melbourne bloggers there are. Why are we not putting on gigs and soaring away from dork status? I propose the following:
- We start associating with some kind of coolie magazine or sexy band .
- We throw together a hot night where bloggers dj . I am totally including myself in this. You're more than welcome to 'spin a few platters' though, as they say in the disc-jockey business.
- We have a SEX PARTY and film it to make BLOGGER PORN . Take that , Sydney grogbloggers. Oh, and bags me Clem Bastow.
- We hassle Black and White magazine to put out a special BLOGGERS EDITION. Here's me:
And a pensive Buck Fudd:

Melbourne GrogBlogging's fitting end to the evening:

And Television's Kynan Barker prepares to scrub away his sins:
- We release a charity single. I'm thinking maybe Toto's 'Hold the Line' or Boston's 'More than a Feeling'. We could even brilliantly change the lyrics to 'More than just Blogging'. HAHAHAHA!
There's a thousand more ideas I can steal from the Kiwis. I'm just getting warmed up. Join with me and let's make the blogging community blister with rockness.
1045 days til the next election.

Believe it or not, I was TOTALLY thinking of starting up a Melburn Bloggers Collective on Saturday.
I was thinking about all the cool shit we could do with our powers combined, but then I gave up on it because i thought none of you would go for it.
Sometimes I want to stick your mind up my ass and ride it like a pony, girl.
Please go to the illicit store, ask anyone cool looking where it is.
You'll kill yourself if you don't, believe me.
Arohanui- knifey the muss.
By the way, can someone please explain why exactly the fuck I am out of bed before lunch on a weekday???!!!
It goes without saying that you shouldn't hold your breath for my support. True Australians don't condone lechery and the idea of someone like you getting support from a number of equally spineless sex fiends makes my stomach turn.
Mock him as you may, but Guy Sebastian really could show you lot a thing or two. Talent, faith, respect - not bad for a darkie.
red-hot-bloggness-hangin? umm... i think so.
maybe we should all start it this friday, because there's a PARTY AT MY PLACE.
email link for expressions of interest. you know you want to.
I'm all for a superior Melbourne version of Grogblogging... (coz, being in melbourne, its bound to be superior)
Well, well well. I'm back, the rabid lefty who on Friday caused a stir amongst the latte left by criticising their politics. It doesn't say much about many of you that a few weeks ago when I was positive and asked you to go out and actively try to make the world a better place by being involved in the political process no one responded. I have to resort to taking a broad swipe at you and pretending to be a an extremist to elicit a response. What has happened to political debate in this country, or the world for that matter? The problem is that the world is full of self righteous, pretentious hypocrites who like to claim to be progressive (I am talking to you Kranki and Tillops), but only to the extent that they don't have to do anything or it affects their hip pocket.
Before I go on to address my critics, I must make apologise to Jeremy. Unlike most bloggers, your actions match your words and as such you must be commended. If only more "progressive" people were like you. I still prefer changing society so the problem does not arise in the first place, rather than fixing up problems as they occur. I should also add that, though I am not a lawyer, I do possess a law degree.
Now to deal with Kranki. You don't like the fact that I label people. However because my beliefs aren't exactly the same as yours, I have a "pea sized brain" and I have "popped up like a festering zit". Hmmm, a bit of a hypocrite aren't you? You are what's wrong with this world. You talk and you talk, but you don't really say anything. When you are willing to actually back up your words with actions, I will take what you say seriously. Until then, to use your extremely thoughtful and intelligent language, go suck the sweat from you mother's gangrenous balls.
I will now deal with Tillups. His blogger profile says that he is an agitator, with an interest in politics. Yet when somebody agitates online, and discuses politics what was your response? You called them a "fucktard". Again all talk, no action. I have no doubt that before the election when people said they would most likely vote Liberal, you would have called them a fucktard, and thus ensured they would vote Liberal. Any intelligent person would have tried to convince them otherwise, but you don't seem to fit into the category of being an intelligent person. Thank you Tillups for another three years of Howard. Oh yes, and while Slater and Gordon may represent working people trying to get a fair go, and the reasons they initially may have done this were altruistic ones, the fact that some partners drive porsches indicates that the reason they do this these days are purely monetary ones.
I must now go. However before I go I will again reiterate the point of my comments. If you are going to rant and rave online about how the likes of Andrew Bolt and Miranda Airey-Branson and how evil they are, then you must do something positive to conteract them. Abusing them online isn' t the solution, be involved in the politicsl process.Otherwise you are no better than them!
All talk, no action? What, do you want my resume?
Suffice to say, nearly eight years as a professional political operative (salaried and elected), leadership positions on five state and federal campaigns and the ability to spell chardonnay, all give me the right to speak with greater authority on the topic of left-wing activism than an anonymous poster who pontificates to those about whom they know nothing.
But I'm not here to feed the trolls. Set up a profile, get to know us, come to the pub and we'll have a pissing contest about who's more harcore then.
Any charity single should be to the tune of "We're Sending Our Love Down The Well" from the Simpsons.
"There's a hole in heart, as deep as a well
For a blogging community stuck halfway to hell
We can't be famous so we'll do the next thing
Blog on the net and SING! SING! SING!
And we're blogging our lives on the web
BLOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGING
And we're writing some shit on the net
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL OVER THE NET"
etc..

Oh. My. God.
You've put naked pictures of us next to each other on the internet! You do know that, here in Blogistan, this means we're legally married?
Putting of word out: Everybody urgently needs to see This Film NOW!
Don't know if I can handle Billy Bob Thorton Mr. Buck Fudd. Still can't get the lyrics to Angelina out of my head but agree on Mr. Dynamite. Maybe the Melbourne bloggers party could have a dance like Napoleon competition. I'm already booked for my perm.
Hehehehe, saucepot.
1. You really don't know these people, or the extent that their collective hip pockets are involved in their respective politics.
2. Congratulations on the Law degree. That means you can read, nothing more. I have Honours in Philosophy, and am half a semester away from my Masters, so i can read AND reason. No-one cares. (I have to hurry, because I'm late for my job cleaning toilets).
3."Now to deal with Kranki"
I know for a fact I'm not the only person who found this amusing.
You can't "deal with" Kranki, do you know why? Because this is the internerd, and when you fight on the internerd, it's lose-lose, all the way. That's why you'll note bloggers employing powerful and dismissive expletives in your direction, because there is no "win", there is only "fun". I know I'm not going to deal with you any more than you dealt with the Krankster.
4. "go suck the sweat from you mother's gangrenous balls."
See now, that's more like it!
I'm pretty sure most of us "latte lefties" got a good snort out of that. Good one!
5. "If you are going to rant and rave online about how the likes of Andrew Bolt and Miranda Airey-Branson and how evil they are, then you must do something positive to conteract them."
No, we don't.
I thought Andrew Bolt was kinda perceptive, and made a good point or two, but that doesn't change the fact he messed with my crew, and as such, is to be ridiculed and perhaps even spanked a little.
The point here is, we can all say and do what we like (and believe me, we do), and Anonymous posters with an agenda are never going to change that.
While you think you've really let the cat out amongst the pigeons today, the reality is, we like it when you stop by and air your brain out (just don't come near my blog). It's funny.
6. There is no six, but I just love the word.
Say it with me- "six...six...six..."
My goodness that feels refreshing!
7. "be involved in the politicsl process."
Be involved in spelling. Please.
This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
yeah! take that! go knifey go. stick that knife in and turn it around.
six is my favourite number.
Was I out to put a cat amongst the pigeons? In a way maybe I was. However my main goal was to elicit at least some semblance of an intelligent response from the bloggers out there, instead of your usual childish banter. And you know what, in some cases I did. Yes even from you Knifey (Your Point One).
However to respond to some of your points knifey, actually no, to deal with you knifey ( I know how much you will love that). I didn't menton the fact that I possess a law degree to show off, but as an indication that my attacks on lawyers as a whole were not totally serious. As you implied having a law degree, doesn't make you smart. The second stupidest group of people I have ever had to deal with on a regular basis were the people I studied law with. The stupidest group? The people I studied philosophy with. Yes Knifey, according to your brilliant logic I can read and reason becuase I studied philosophy too. What does this say about me having studied with two groups of (I consider) stupid people? Maybe I'm full or myself , or I am the stupid one. Or maybe it's a little of column A and a little of Column B. Who knows. Bloggers out there have some fun deciding amongst yourselves as to which category I fit in!
Now as for your "funny blog" knifey, it's nice that you think your own blog is funny. You are the blogger equivalent of somebody who thinks there own joke is so funny that they laugh at it while they are telling it. And like the jokes of people who laugh at their own jokes not actually being funny, similarly your webiste is not funny. Well not in a ha ha sense anyway. Maybe in a "it's so funny we better put him a padded cell for his own protection" sense.
As for my spelling mistake/s. Could it be because I am of non-English speaking background. Well even though I am, no. I just mispelled the word while typing and didn't check it. Shit happens.
To leave you with an insult knifey becuase I know' you'd love it (not an orginal but a personal favourite. You knifey are an ignoranus; both stupid and an arsehole.
Dear sexually frustrated anonymous post man (or lady) or rabid rat-rapist.
Shut the fuck up before I stick my cock in your mouth, put a blonde wig on your head and call you Sally.
Or at least have the balls to put your identity where your fucking mouth is before you go around slagging GENUINELY smart and funny people like Kranki and Kinfey. See, I mispelt Knifey, but that was kind of an in-joke. I wouldn't want to appear stupid.
You filthy ball gargling cock smoker.
Sorry everyone, I'm in a filthy mood, and I really don't like this person.
Jeez, Sherriff. She's only been away 3 days. Maybe a bit of manual relief?
Anonymous left(?)wing ranty person (may I call you Minty Dick?)
Just because people state their political sympathies and ideals doesn't mean they have to spend all their time pushing for the greater acendency and realisation of those ideals. The reason people want the world to be better is so that it can be enjoyed. People should be allowed to enjoy those things that are good without some perpetually angry Permanent Revolutionary getting on their back at the slightest sign of taking their Eyes From The Prize. Well, there is actually a whole sack of prizes, Minty Dick, and some have already been opened and people should be allowed to enjoy themselves. It soesn't mean they don't care and don't act.
What you need to do, Minty Dick, is to stop shaking your little fist at the wind, uncleanch it about half way and start shaking it between your legs. That feels better now, doesn't it?
so beautifully said, sherriff and back fudd.
*loves*
Hahahahaha...Buck Fudd, I bow before you. And no, don't you dare start unzipping yourself while I am prostate before you.
oops. buck fudd. seems i have that fecking typo virus.
So, we're back at the name-calling and the judging of internerd aliases are we? That's cool, I can be "...an ignoranus; both stupid and an arsehole", if it makes you feel better Champion. I even used a capital 'C' for that one.
Thing is, you have no idea about any of the people you're judging here, and you're making the mistake of thinking our primary objective is anything other than our own fun.
This might upset you, but I'm not bothered by your insults.
If you don't like my blog, I can dig it, admittedly few do. But I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for me, and the people who also like it.
As far as my intelligence goes, well, slag away if you must. But that's not going to change my I.Q, my experience, my education, or anything else that I posess, and you haven't the faintest inkling of.
You seem very angry and self righteous. I guess it's easy to be that way when you're anonymous.
I'm not. My name, address, even my phone number are all in my blog. If someone wanted to find me, it would be insanely easy. And any time anyone wants to take up an issue with me fact-to-face, I'm hardly going to shy away.
You though? you're just some words on a screen, insulting and finger-pointing.
When all the while you lack the integrity or self respect to stand up and say "This is me, and I think this..."
What is there about you to respect?
You could have a doctorate from Harvard when you're anonymous. You could have even been to the moon. See where I'm going here?
Show some real pride in yourself and join in the fun, if you want to be taken at all seriously.
Otherwise? You're spam baby.
Knifey, I am the Cub to your Wolf.
As am I. So...we get a nipple each? nyum, nyum, nyum.
Sheriff Romulus, and Buck 'Remus' Fudd it is then...
I learned Roman mythology when I was doing my Doctorate in Astronaut Studies at Harvard...oh shit, I'm still logged in.
Oh, hello there. I am an anonymous poster.
SEE! My amazing intellect!
SEE! My cutting wit!
SEE! My attention seeking antics!
WITNESS! My courage under fire!
MARVEL! At my participation in the world of politics! I always put my money where my mouth is...ummm...except when I post anonymously. I'm still a bit shy you see.
GET FIZZLI! As I cut you all down with my legal beagle mind powers and LA-Law-Corben-Bernsen-yet-still-left-leaning style remarks!
DON'T MISS ME AT ALL! As I ride off into the setting sun, getting all hotness with my legs wrapped around the taut muscle of the stallion beneath me.
Love, Sally.
Oh...I forgot.
When I said "While you think you've really let the cat out amongst the pigeons today, the reality is, we like it when you stop by and air your brain out (just don't come near my blog). It's funny."
I wasn't saying my blog was funny.
I was saying you are.
I think I owe a few beers about the place here. Top form chaps and chapettes.
Collect at sugar and spice's party this Friday or, if you can't wait that long, here.
If we can all ignore having-sex-with-you-face for a minute, may I propose my vote for our blogger coalition.
*ahem*
TEAM FIZLI.
Nicole Ritchie- "Do you love it?"
that's hot
Oh how I love the witty responses of the online anarchists. I haven't heard insults like minty-dick since I was in primary school. Now I know how much you love it when I post a comment, it gives you a someone to rant and rave about now that Andrew Bolt and Miranda Airey-Branson have become stale. Let's just say this is my community service; keeping children occupied so that they don't get into trouble on the streets.
However, there are a few things I would like to say. As I said in a previous post , I took the extreme left wing point of view to try and elicit an reasoned response from the predominantly middle-class, anglo-celtic blogging community, not because I believe in such extremist views. In some cases I did elicit such repsonse, particularly from Jeremy. In most cases I did not. A sad indication of the lack of proper political debate in this country.
Knifey, the reason I used the term Ignoranus to describe you was because in a previous post this is what you said you enjoyed. I was only giving my audience what they want! And come on, you write your blog for yourself? Nonsense. If that was the case, keep a diary. Your Blog is so there in public so that others can read it, because you think you are funny. Oh and if I was questioning your intelligence, I was also questioning my own (go back and read my last entry).
Much had been made of the fact that I post anonymously. The thought amongst you that posting with an online profile makes you courageous. Yet the reality is how many of you would say in public what you say online. Some of you maybe, most of you I doubt it. Recently Miranda Devine (for those of you in Melbourne, the female equivalent of Andrew Bolt) was giving a talk at a book launch. A picket was organised. However when I turned up to the picket, how many people were there? Six. How many people where prepared to confront her. Only me. Similarly at the cricket this year when somebody said "there's John Howard" I ran straight up to him and told him exactly what I thought of him. In both cases security guards came up to me and "politely" kept me away from further contact with them. How many of you would do that? I seriously doubt if many of you would. You like to post online where generally only people who know about your blog will see your "courage".
If any of you really want to find out my identity (instead of using the issue as a way to insult and dismiss me) and are in Sydney this weekend going to Homebake, you can come and see me in action. I will be at the Refugee Action Coalition stand, putting my words into action. See if you can guess which person is me. Oh yes, I will be enjoying myself, partly because I will get to see some of this country's finest musical acts, but mainly because I know that I will be doing something positive.
*yawns*
*scratches groin*
Mornin' Sally
Hey, Anon! Way to go, you! Have a boss time at Homebake! Live it hard like an activist does! You! Rule!!
RAC 4 EVZ!!
Love! From! Fits!!
mrs
are you still there?
mutz x
Ok anonymous.
You are a fucknuckle.
Your rage, indignation and self-righteousness are what gives the great majority of Leftish people a truly shitty image with Joe Public.
I loathe Miranda Devine, I loathe what she writes and the privileged access she has to spout her rubbish.
I thoroughly detest John Howard and despair over where he is leading this country.
In neither count do I think it is acceptable to approach them and heap abuse upon them.
Not because I don't feel they deserve it, rather that doing so is totally counter-productive.
For starters, you just feed the arseholes. They live for your scorn, it's their drug of choice. Starve them of it and watch them fall into withdrawals and say really, really stupid things. We win.
Next, not only are you feeding them, you re-affirm the widely held opinion that Left wingers are rabid, uncivil nuts. Hence, anything that comes form your mouth, and, unfortunately, from my mouth is considered tainted because of your stupid behaviour. We lose.
Some of us prefer to follow a more reasoned and less confrontational approach to being heard.
A reasonable argument from someone not inflamed by the weight of their own opinion goes down far better than an incoherent scream from the sidelines.
To then come online, anonymously, and abuse others because we choose a different path to yours is truly abhorrent.
Basically, grow up and realise that you're methods actually turn people off.
But I suspect that is your actual motive. Far better to feel that you're hard done by and on the fringe than to do the real hard work from within.
Bah, people like you are as big a problem for believer's in social equity as John Howard
Wow, normally people have to meet me face to face before they hate me so! I have made more enemies in the last few days than I have since I last played comp cricket.
Now Big Bob, obviously you have come into the whole "the anonymous blogger is Satan personified" thing a little late. I will now clarify some things for you.
Part of my problem with the blogger community is that they talk all tough and mighty online, but don't put it into action. I want people to go out and change the world in a positive way: do a job that can help people, be involved politically, be active. These are things I do myself. Generally I do prefer a more "a more reasoned and less confrontational approach to being heard." However when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Face facts, bloggers don't exactly use a reasoned approach when attacking people online. I took a confrontational approach as this was the only way to elicit a response from you out there. When I took the reasoned approach a few weeks ago I got no response (Go to Ms Fits "Sometimes I Know just how he feels" and look for my post) I wanted to see if I could elicit some response, and preferrably reasoned ones. I did get a few of those, particularly from Jeremy, to whom I take my hat off again. I also hoped (maybe naively) that by making some of you angry, I might actually push some of you into being active.
However my "integrity" was attacked for being anonymous, for lacking courage. If I posted my identity online I would somehow become a brave knight for attacking people like Miranda Devine and John Howard online. Well my response to that was that in essence you still have a degree of anonymity (is this spelt right? Sorry I am of non-english speaking background, which I use as an excuse for being a poor speller). If you want to be courageous, do it to the persons face. This isn't something you should do to everybody, but only to those people who think they are loved by all the public to remind them that there are people at there who hate them for what they stand for. People like John and Miranda. Oh and both cases I had people come up and congratulate me on what I did. And no this isn't the only thing you should do. Be active in "a more reasoned and less confrontational " way to try and change the world.
Oh yes, thanks for the advice to "grow up". Should that be before or after I start referring to people as fucknuckles like you did?
I wait in anticipation for the next blogger attack!
So, hang on. Let's clear this up. You called me a self righteous, pretentious hypocrite who likes to claim to be progressive but only to the extent that I don't have to do anything. In the interests of provoking a reasoned response? To get me to do something?
How fucking reasoned do you expect my response to be? What more should I do?
You apologised to Jeremy after abusing him for being something he's not. I've set the record straight about what I've been doing for years. Where's my fucking apology?
You come on here, say nothing particularly interesting and noone cares. Should be the end of the story. But no, you decide that you deserve more attention than that and the best way to do it is to heap vile abuse on passionate, committed progressives.
Thanks so much for 'provoking' such 'reasoned' debate. I guess I really should just quit my job, resign from my elected positions and set up a stall at a rock concert. It's the only way to make a real difference.
Tillops, I have obviously gotten to you. Your last post is all about receiving an apology. I did not think you would want an apology from somebody you think is a fucktard. Perhaps if you apologise for that I will apologise to you.
No, that's not the reason. The reason why there was no apology? I was unsure of just what you have done, other than being in salaried and elected positions. For whom? It could be the Australian Democrats or the ALP right for all I know. Or you could be involved in student politics. However I will make a leap of faith and assume (given your obvious anger) that it is none of those and that in some way you are trying to do something positive. However the fact that you can spell chardonnay indicates you drink the stuff, and as such works against you in my books. Despite that however, and based on the assumption above, here it is: I apologise. Keep up the good work.
A couple of quick points. You said that no one cares (actually you said noone cares) yet the fact that you and numerous others have responded indicates that on some level you do.
Secondly I am not advocating appearing at a rock concert as the solution to the worlds problems. I am involved in alot more than that in both my work and personal life.
Lastly did I elicit a reasoned reponse. The fact that you felt the need to justify yourself indicates that I did have some success in this. My great hope is that some of you out there (other than Jeremy and Tillops) will become more politically involved to show me up. Come on I dare!
Christ Anonymous, you have no idea who you are talking to!
I have worked my ass off for years for the North Queensland Conservation, Council, The Wilderness Society, The Environmental Defenders Office, and Animal Liberation in 4 different countries.
Remember the Hinchinbrook Blockade? Core Activist.
Remember Jabiluka? Core Activist.
What does core activist mean?
They are the ones who quit their well paying jobs in Sydney to go live in the rainforest for months, and not only get assaulted by John Williams goons on a daily basis, but eventually breaking through security, being attacked by guard dogs, and chaining ourselves to the dredger that was soon to be destroying the Hinchinbrook channels dugong habitat.
I was knocked unconscious and came within an inch of having my thumbs amputated, then got to go face the Magistrate for my actions, after a nice time in jail in Townsville.
WHERE EXACTLY WHERE YOU, SUPERMAN?
When I dumped 2 tonnes of Woodchips in the foyer of a major hotel in Sydney, getting not only arrested, but hit in the face by security, I didn't see you anywhere.
These are two stories out of roughly two-hundred.
My point here (again), is that you shouldn't run around pointing fingers, because it makes you look stupid. Not only am I a published author on the theory and practice of nonviolence, I have put my ass/hip pocket/freedom on the line so many times I have lost count.
But don't take my word for it. Go look it up, I was only on the cover of the Australian 3 times, and pretty much every other paper in the country, as well as the TV news about 20 times, as well as ACA, Today Tonight, and 60 Minutes.
And you're running a stall at Homebake?
WELL BLOW ME DOWN!
Buck's right, everyone is right. You're like a rabid University student, desperate for attention.
For the record, I have never brought up my environmentalist background on this site before, only now, to show you what an ignoramus you are.
Incidentally, you use English being your second language as an excuse for sloppy writing?
It's not my first language either. Or my second, or even my third.
But then, if you had've done some research before busting in on our party and insulting everyone with your fist high in the air, you would have known that.
Seriously, grow up.
Good on you for believing in a cause, and for wanting to effect positive change.
Bad on you for insulting everyone and thinking you're somehow superior to people who outshine you in so many ways you are too ignorant to see.
Incidentally, seeing as this is all on The Ms Fits Forum, I should point out one other person who acts with her hip pocket.
Did you start a fashion label that promotes awareness of the Left's cause, using humour as the vehicle, then donate all the profits, when instead you could pocket it and buy more lattes?
No, it was Ms Fits.
Mother was right. If you feed a stray cat it will keep coming back for more. What mother didn't mention was how mind-numbingly boring the stray cat could be. Chinese water torture with words. Drip... drip... drip...
Well, I thought my fifteen minutes of blogger fame was over. I'm sure it will be soon, but before it is there are a few things I will say.
However, before I begin, I will give credit where credit is due, and in this case it is due to knifey. My apologies, keep up the good work.
However as I said in a previous email, I took a deliberately extreme view to provoke a response. I didn't do any research before making my deliberately provocative comment. I can see why you bloggers out there were so offended. None of you EVER do that on your blogs do you. Insult people without doing research on them. You obviously do research on them beforehand in order to find suitably appropriate childish insults. You like to dish it out, but get all upset when it is directed at you. Where should I send the tissues? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You obviously did research on me, given that you think I am a university student. Oh yes, and you have done alot of research on me when you can make the Statement "outshine me in so many ways you are too ignorant to see." You definately know all about me. But I will get onto this later.
Now why did I want to provoke a response, preferably an intelligent one? Because politics comes up on this blog often. Now I believe that if you are going to whine about our current government constantly, then you should let your actions speak louder than your words. Some of you I have found out do: Jeremy, Tillups, Knifey and of course Ms Fits. And I have recognised you as such. Others probably haven't. Hopefully those of you that do will serve as an inspiration to those that don't, get people to, shock horror, be involved in the political process. The fact that so many of you have chosen to respond, rather than just ignore me indicates that this is an issue that people feel strongly about. Here is a suggestion for those of you that aren't active; use that energy to try and change the world. Yes I know, how horrible of me to have this view.
Now some of us could have a "pissing" contest to see who is the most politically active, and yes there are definately people out there who are more active than I am. However I made a career choice based on my beliefs, despite the offers I had that would of seen me earn a hell of a lot more money. And no I am not writing this to appear like a martyr, but to idicate that I have backed up my words with actions. Similarly I am politically involved, and involved in community groups outside of work, again backing my words up with actions. Am I "morally superior" to all of you. No, but as I said those people who want to criticise the government should back up their actions with words. I believe I have done that.
Why do I do it, and why should others do it? To quote Edmund Burke "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." This was in my first post, to which nobody replied. I know, I am such a wretched human being for having this belief.
In my last few seconds of my fifteen minutes, I must say that it has been a blast, but also go out and be active!!!!
