So The West Has To Get Out Of The East?

So The West Has To Get Out Of The East?

Try as you might the news just stays abysmally bad, having this crop of Neo Con wankers running things is inevitably the pits, but the things they say to demonise their enemies are so rightly turned back in their own faces, it's them who are doing the violence with their armies in other people's lands, and it's bluddy obvious, and a bloke did a study of the motives of the so-called terrorists, and it's amazingly secular, and primarily the pith is the occupation of their lands, as it always was I spose... So the West has to get out of the East?

It Was From Asians That Americans Stole America

And lets get to calling the Red Indians in cowboy movies as Asians, it was from Asians that Americans stole America, so they'd best pull their heads in... Like we were wondering what the hell the USA has been doing in Asia, how come a Korean War? Why is it still on? The Vietnam War? Why have US Armies been occupying all these other countries? And now the USA is making big bang noises about North Korea and Taiwan, what's it to do with them? They've already stolen the entire American continent, when will they ever have enough?

A Quick Judge And Jury On The Flight Execution, And No Questions Asked

Now we get this Multiple Bullets In The Head Tactic to stop a suspect, while he's held down though, seems logical enough, a person with explosives strapped to them shouldn't be shot in the possible explosive, setting it off in the murderous process, nice and neat then, blow their brains out... Just a quick judge and jury on the flight execution, and no questions asked... Has some sort of resonance through history, seems the Little Squeak has announced that our laws of the last two centuries are no good for the twenty first century, so he's going back to the 17th century so we can have the revolution all over again, that's pre-Fifties Picket Fences by a long way...

Men And Jobs

The SMH carried an Adele Horin story on men and jobs, it's damning against the world of today ideals, the society is changing intro a very ugly scene and the future looks bleaker, with the resulting kids and their inherited attitudes as well... I read it and can see the longer term results, and can see the ugliness in human nature that the right wing idealism generates, there has never been a peaceful ending of right wing idealism, the left wing swings just fade away but right wing swings always end up in violence and a revolutionary change of direction... The only way to get rid of them is to suffer some god-awful collapse and then have a left wing save to pick up the pieces...

Men out of work - why families are falling apart

By Adele Horin
July 23, 2005

Australia's children are victims of the new economy that has turned increasing numbers of men into casual or part-time workers, a leading economist has warned.

Sue Richardson, professor of economics at Flinders University, said the nation's low unemployment rate hid a "disastrous" trend to semi-employment among many men, not seen since the 1930s.

Of the 1.5 million extra jobs created between 1992 and 2004, only 12 per cent were permanent full-time jobs taken by men. Another 24 per cent were described as full-time for men, but were actually contract, labour hire, or casual jobs without conditions such as annual leave or sick pay.

Professor Richardson said increased levels of casual work among men and a culture of long hours at work were big factors in the country's historically low fertility rate, low marriage rate and the rise in sole-parent families. They also undermined the well-being of children. "We need to change course to avoid a lot of despair and misery. The labour market is making it extremely difficult for men and women to choose to become parents."

Professor Richardson, co-editor of a forthcoming book, No Time To Lose: The Well-being of Children, made her warning in a speech to the Australian Social Policy Conference at the University of NSW yesterday.

At the beginning of the 1990s, about half the jobs held by men were permanent full-time positions. The change, she said, was a "disaster; it is not a successful labour market. It's bad for men, and it's bad for children. You can't keep a family on a part-time job."

Because increasing numbers of men lacked the security of full-time permanent jobs, they did not marry, and had no or few children. Those who did marry were prone to separation, partly because of the stress brought on by an insecure labour market. "The labour market has been extremely hostile to men, particularly men who don't have any post-school education," she said.

"Men who can't get a full-time or secure job are not attractive marriage prospects."

The proportion of men with full-time jobs had fallen dramatically since 1976, with single men faring worse than married men. Of men with low education levels, 20 per cent had no job at all.

Trends in work hours were also hostile to family life, Professor Richardson said. Many of the new jobs created required either fewer than 15 hours a week, or more than 50: "You can't be a good parent either in the low-hour or long-hour jobs - you've either got not enough money or not enough time."

Women had snared 60 per cent of the new jobs created since 1992, with 22 per cent of those full-time permanent positions.

"This can work for children if men are providing more of the caring," she said. "But while women have changed a lot, men have changed only a little. And the workplace … has become increasingly hostile to the needs of parents and children."

The Media Ownership Rules Are To Be Ripped Up

These stories very rarely get an airing in the private media, there is a real problem with the media not telling us what they should, it's because of the media ownership, and it's only going to get worse, they reckon Free To Air TV is going into decline and so the media ownership rules are to be ripped up and we'll have the Murdock's Fox poisoning our minds instead of Kerry... Gees what progress, thanks to the Little Neo-Con it'll be, I listen to god along with George and Tony and we all tell youse... Get used to it... Well I say Get Used To It Or Get Unionised...
