The biggest connoisseur, of course, is the board’s resident gastronome, Y.
Y is the Bernard King of the faecophiles - he can turn a fossilised, two year old piece of sh!t into a 3 course meal.
Chicken Maryland, Veal Cordon bleu, Steak Dianne, you name it. All whipped up in no time at all.
Y makes it seem so easy, but the work requires effort, skill and discipline. Just finding the right text is a delicate balancing act. Going through your old recipes for just the right inscrutable Bible quote takes patience and descrimination. Choosing the right Muslim protest photo, or mug-shot image, or flag-burning photo is an art in itself.
Y has dedicated himself to this artform. This is a selfless task, and one, it needs to be said, that Y receives no payment for. Y dedicates his hours to sourcing the best ingredients, planning just the right recipes, and putting them all together in a form so palatable and delicious that we, the fortunate guest, couldn’t eat another thing.
We might not know what we’ve just eaten, but who cares?
It’s all fabulous.
Yes, it is.
What annoys you K, is that you know that my views [relating to ISLAM's 'place in the world'] are
not irrelevant, and they are not untrue.
Life is a journey, K.
On your journey, you took a detour [....as many of us do], you chose a particular path.
And you know, that you now find yourself, standing in the midst of a bog.
Think about it, K.
What does it feel like K, to know that
your own choices, brought you, to where you are ?
And people like myself, the 'Yadda', who is always reiterating the same message, again, and again ?
Well, you know! .....that people like myself, are not standing there, in that bog, with you, K.
That is what really annoys people like yourself, K.
And every time i post here on OzPol, you are reminded of that fact, K.
.......that i am not standing there, in that bog, with you, K.

And there is no lifeline that someone like myself could throw to you K.
Because
we both know, that a person like yourself, would only regard a lifeline, as a means to try pull me down into the bog with you.
Because i know that you understand K, that eventually, you are just going to sink into that bog.
And you are going to be a an irrelevant part of that bog, in which you are now standing.
It is
the journey K.
But the journey we choose also determines the destination we will arrive at.

The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,

Micah 3:1
And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
2 Chronicles 24:19
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
