He boxed and played rugby at uni but yeah, it was against uni students.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The vulnerability of overt collection operations like this is that you're inviting all and sundry to test your own capabilities.

What about the time that he shirt fronted a girl (punched the wall next to her face) after losing a student election ? That was pretty tough.

You a hacker merkin ? [-X

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If you're going to intimidate people weaker than you why draw the line at women?

Politics is a dirty game and the people involved use dirty tricks. Why should anyone be exempt from that because of their gender?

I think this only became new because Abbott denied it ever happened. Based on his denial, News Ltd loyalists then defamed the girl by attacking her credibility. This resulted in her making a lot of money cos it was established in court that it did really happen.

Shame he denied it, cos it was 25+ years ago. Hardly worth the fuss.

 

[Kornstar]

I think there more to it than your bogan alarmist angle. It IS unprecedented for the Ruskis to come all the way down here. The question that only the Russians can answer is would they have come if Abbott had left his shirt on ?

There is nothing in that article to suggest anyone should be alarmed. Just because they haven't been this far down before doesn't mean we are about to be blown up!

It points out that they have been very active lately, so asserting some authority towards a minor power like us is typical for bullies like them!

I don't think that anyone other than those from the tin hat brigade are worried.

All the same, it's still an extraordinary situation to have a nuclear armed destroyer off QLD uninvited.

The day after China / USA reach agreement on emission targets..

China and the United States stunned observers by announcing a secretly negotiated agreement that commits the US to cutting its carbon emissions by 28 per cent by 2025. Beijing has for the first time said its carbon emissions will peak by 2030.

Your prime minister spews out this gem.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

If it wasn't for Russian fleets, we wouldn't have Fort Denison, and Canberra would probably be on the coast.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

As a minor polluter we can afford to wait and see whether other countries are truly committed to anything more than signing agreements.

focused on meeting our targets ?

he wants to reduce them the lying prick

You f**king idiot, Gronk. An operation like this takes MONTHS to plan and execute.

They are coming to Australia because of the G20 and that's it. Yes, it's unprecedented but that's the whole point. Russia is trying to be bigger and badder than before, so they NEED unprecedented stuff like this.

Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with Abbott v Putin is a braindead f**king moron.

 

[Suitman]

Agreed. You should write to the editor of The Daily Terrorgraph.
They're the ones who made a f**king meal of this.

Suity

what do warships have to do with the G20 ?

 

[phantom eel]

About as much as red porches have to do with the business abilities of middle aged males.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

'Fake it til you make it.'

There's a fair argument that the trappings of success increase trust and confidence in potential business partners and customers.

It's bullshit, nothing more or less, but human psychology is a funny thing bart. We just love bullshit.

So get yourself a red Porsche and start winning you miserable deadshit.

 

[strider]

the ferals might start protesting in the ocean

#bePrepared

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

No, the ferals will welcome Putin with open arms.

a) He's Abbott's opponent, so they love him no matter what;
b) They're all actually watermelons.

My porch is made out of dark brown timber. I knew I was doing something wrong.
