I'm still amazed at the outrage on Folau'ss behalf by the very same mob calling for the head of Yassmin Abdel-Mageid.

She didn't say anyone was going to hell either. She just asked us to be compassionate.



yes but she is muslim ... how dare she ask middle aged white men to do anything
She stood up for her religious beliefs like falou. She even went as far as to tell us that Sharia is great for females? Pity she had to use ANZAC Day as a platform to have a go at our soldiers.


She did absolutely none of that.


Grin She absolutely did.


She told us that Islam was the most feminine religion. Sounds more like mocking religious beliefs than standing up for them. People mocked her for being an idiot, not for being a Muslim.

The usual suspects here whined about how criticising her for saying stupid poo was restricting her freedom of speech. But when the tables were turned and Folau was actually fired, they changed their tune. The hypocrisy of the apologists knows no limits.

It occurs to me that Yassmin is the perfect example of how freedom of speech is supposed to work, while Folau is the perfect example of how to stick your head in your rectum, create a mountain out of a molehill, and turn a man into a martyr for freedom of speech over a banal and familiar opinion.

Yassmin was rightly mocked for saying stupid things, misappropriating public funds to line her own pockets, lying about Islam, and getting hysterical about the criticism she rightly deserved. Despite having plenty of perfectly legal reasons to fire her, the ABC stood by her and refused. But she wilted under the glaring reality of what people think of her. It seemed to take her by surprise. Being an ugly black female Muslim of apparently limited intelligence and perception, she was probably accustomed to being a protected species at the ABC and SBS. She ran away from freedom of speech, while the usual apologists were trying to turn the public mockery of her into an attack on free speech, as though she should be able to do and say stupid things without anyone noticing.

Folau ran towards freedom of speech. Rather than subject him to public criticism for his opinion, the homofascists did the cowardly thing and conspired behind the scenes to make him lose his job - a move that is likely to turn out to be illegal. Then they followed this up with celebrating gofundme pulling his campaign. Both propelled Folau into the spotlight, massively increased public support for him, and allowed him to raise $2million in 2 days. Now he is likely to win the case or get a favourable settlement, all under the public eye. He said something stupid and the homofascists turned him into a hero of free speech for it.

The two cases could not be more different, yet somehow the usual apologists are now trying to use Yassmin to accuse those who support freedom of speech of hypocrisy. Perhaps they should go back and look at what was actually said - their own hysterical claims that criticising Yassmin infringed on her freedom of speech, and their hypocritical backflip on Folau.

What Yassmin said and did, particularly her claim that Islam is the most feminist religion, was absurd, controversial and unfamiliar. Pretty much the definition of newsworthy.

What Folau said was completely uninteresting. Everyone already knows where gays go when they die. It was only the hysterical, cowardly and most likely illegal conspiracy to get him fired that made him newsworthy. He has handled the situation with a quiet dignity, sticking to his position and calmly going about seeking justice.

Pretty much the opposite of Yassmin. Watching her dig herself in deeper with every comment was like watching a slow motion train wreck, finally ending with a crescendo of her blaming everyone but herself for the stupid poo she pulled. She tried to do a Kim Kardashian, but was totally unprepared for the response and she refused to learn from any of her mistakes along the way. She fled to London, tail between her legs, still blaming others.

I, for one, am not surprised that you would get your jollies by punching a woman for voicing her opinion.

My first response was to laugh...


Of course Yassmin had the right to say Islam was the most feminist religion and the most peaceful on earth......

The ribald laughter came from the actual content of the statements she was entitled to make.... and that kitchen was too hot for her... poor darling...

Meantime big, butch Israel is fighting his critics - and just to remind you - nobody sacked Yassmin for her vapid comments .... she just couldn't stand the heat of the walls of laughter...

Exactly.

Why isn't he following the Christian doctrine?

"If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

"And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well."


...

I don't think this guy is a Christian at all.

I think he's just a greedy little attention whore, using religion to get what he wants.

Where did I say that?

All I did was say that both Christianity and Islam hold to the idea of an invisible man in the sky - so attacking Folau on that basis was absurd...

Sometimes your thinking is abstruse.... and seems to perpetually seek victimhood for specified groups when you should be looking at truly equal treatment...

Quote:

How Circumstance Dictates Islamic Behavior


January 18, 2012

Preach Peace When Weak, Wage War When Strong

"...all notions of peace with non-Muslims are based on circumstance.

When Muslims are weak, they should be peaceful; when strong, they should go on the offensive."


Sheikh Yassir al-Burhami - an ISLAMIC scholar and Egyptian Salafi leader
http://www.raymondibrahim.com/from-the-arab-world/how-circumstance-dictates-isla...




.





EXAMPLE, MOSLEM DECEIT;

Quote:

Live in peace till strong enough to wage jihad, says UK Deoband scholar to Muslims

London, Sept.8 [2007]

A Deobandi scholar believes Muslims should preach peace till they are strong enough to undertake a jihad, or a holy war.

Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani was quoted by the BBC as saying that Muslims should live peacefully in countries such as Britain, where they have the freedom to practise Islam, only until they gain enough power to engage in battle.

A former Sharia judge in Pakistan's Supreme Court, 64-year-old Usmani, is...a regular visitor to Britain.
Polite and softly spoken....

He agreed that it was wrong to suggest that the entire non-Muslim world was intent on destroying Islam, but justifies an aggressive military jihad as a means of establishing global Islamic supremacy.

insincere friendship - whenever beneficial to Muslims - is not."

I see . . . . .  so knowing her religion makes all the difference in interpreting what she says? Muslims not allowed to be taken at face value?

Where did I say that?

All I did was say that both Christianity and Islam hold to the idea of an invisible man in the sky - so attacking Folau on that basis was absurd...

Sometimes your thinking is abstruse.... and seems to perpetually seek victimhood for specified groups when you should be looking at truly equal treatment...


She didnt quote from the koran though. She was victimised because ppl KNOW shes muslim. Falau on the other hand is pushing his religion at ppl.

Anyone who says that Islam is the most feminist religion is going to get mocked, be they Muslim or spineless apologist.

Quote:

Quote:

So what? Does freedom of speech and freedom of religion depend on whether you approve of his interpretation? I'm sure there are plenty of Muslims who think Yassmin is a hypocrit and needs her head removed.

Sometimes you make sense, Laugh

other times, not so much

For someone who makes jokes about atrocities, suddenly here you are bitching about something which I at least would have expected you to either ignore because too normal or joke about because that's what you do

so are we to believe now that you're an ardent fan of LGBTIxxxxx

or you fester with hatred over handsome brown guys

or (and I find this difficult to accept) you're too dense, too thick, too stupid to realise/accept that Folau did NOT single out gays

Folau never lived up to public expectations in rugby or religion.

Folau is an extremist nutjob and there is no place in public life for extremists or nutjobs.

Hate to break up a sky daddy convention but they go in the ground/back to earth.....just like everything/everyone else.
That is the only thing we ALL have in common. We cease. Our cells stop dividing altogether,  instead separating and go there own way. We call it death....and we all have it coming. 👍
People are scared of it. Crack up really.



Folau can write what he wants and post it on HIS Facebook account. Im sure if he had of piped up a d said islam is great for women hed get shot down too. Vise versa with pub tuls. She could believe the same thing as IZ. Couldn't care less. But FFS stop being offended by absolutely everything. Offendeds are a fuct up breed. Hurt feelings is not an excuse. Get over it. The so called breech of contract is what they've run with....but highlight the exact breech please. So far I have only seen things that apply to RUGBY. Nothing about personal life AWAY from rugby.
It's as if hurt feelings brigade think people actually give a fkkk. Ha. Self righteous lunatics.

No, I did not miss it at all which is why I am repeating the question just like you do when anyone fails to answer you responsively.

"Don't get excited" or "never mind" does not cut the mustard.

Made a controversial post on social media. deleted the post and apologized for it yet still had the right wing media calling for her sacking.

Israel Falou
Made a controversial post on social media. has done so multiple times and has refused to apologize. Get's sacked for breach of contract. the right wing media claim freedom of speech

Yassmin Abdel-Magied
Made a controversial post on social media. deleted the post and apologized for it yet still had the right wing media calling for her sacking.

Israel Falou
Made a controversial post on social media. has done so multiple times and has refused to apologize. Get's sacked for breach of contract. the right wing media claim freedom of speech

spot the hypocrisy


Not just the right wing media.

Yassmin said and did a lot of stupid poo. Even she didn't get fired.


She didn't breach her contract.
Yet despite this all the right wingers were calling for her sacking.
The very same people who are now defending faluo

It's clear that people like you, freediver, only believe in freedom of speech when you agree with what is being said



How was Yassmin's freedom to state her views not upheld?  She got to state them - the public then decided they were stupid utterances and laughed her out of town... better than a tar and feather ride on a rail... nobody sacked her - she quit and went elsewhere to state the same silly views... nobody terminated her contract.... she quit ....

It was her way or the highway .....

If Israel Folau's views had been treated to laughter and derision - I doubt he would have resigned from the Wallabies and gone to England... he would just have shrugged his shoulders and gone on with both holding his views and Rugby... pretty close to live and let live...

It was acceptance of opposing views and moving on without giving an ultimatum .....

Ethnic Minority Pussy Pass much?

You must have missed my previous response Aussie. Never mind.


No, I did not miss it at all which is why I am repeating the question just like you do when anyone fails to answer you responsively.

"Don't get excited" or "never mind" does not cut the mustard.

May we have your answer, Effendi.

Where?


Now now, Aussie, we all know where people who ask FD questions go.

How do you know she didn't breach her contract?

Yassmin misappropriated taxpayer funds to line her own pocket. That is not some kind of fundamental human right, and a far cry from posting your religious views on your own facebook feed. And at the end of the day, she was not sacked. Folau was.

Eric Abetz for starters. I'm sure there were other liberal politicians, and naturally the usual conga line from Newscorp(se). And that was just for the 'lest we forget' tweet.

Will you now direct your free speech crusade against these right wing attacks?

FD goes into witness protection whenever the usual mob call for any restrictions on freedom to practice Islam. Or if he does say anything it will be to spinelessly apologise for these attacks. He has even stated once that he if muslims can't reign in the terrorists, he'll consider joining the calls for banning muslim's freedom.

When confronted with this double standard, he'll refer to that one time 5 years ago that he defended the burqa.

You were the one calling for mosques to be closed and Muslims to be punished for holding placards, not me.

It occurs to me that Yassmin is the perfect example of how freedom of speech is supposed to work, while Folau is the perfect example of how to stick your head in your rectum, create a mountain out of a molehill, and turn a man into a martyr for freedom of speech over a banal and familiar opinion.

Yassmin was rightly mocked for saying stupid things, misappropriating public funds to line her own pockets, lying about Islam, and getting hysterical about the criticism she rightly deserved. Despite having plenty of perfectly legal reasons to fire her, the ABC stood by her and refused. But she wilted under the glaring reality of what people think of her. It seemed to take her by surprise. Being an ugly black female Muslim of apparently limited intelligence and perception, she was probably accustomed to being a protected species at the ABC and SBS. She ran away from freedom of speech, while the usual apologists were trying to turn the public mockery of her into an attack on free speech, as though she should be able to do and say stupid things without anyone noticing.

Folau ran towards freedom of speech. Rather than subject him to public criticism for his opinion, the homofascists did the cowardly thing and conspired behind the scenes to make him lose his job - a move that is likely to turn out to be illegal. Then they followed this up with celebrating gofundme pulling his campaign. Both propelled Folau into the spotlight, massively increased public support for him, and allowed him to raise $2million in 2 days. Now he is likely to win the case or get a favourable settlement, all under the public eye. He said something stupid and the homofascists turned him into a hero of free speech for it.

The two cases could not be more different, yet somehow the usual apologists are now trying to use Yassmin to accuse those who support freedom of speech of hypocrisy. Perhaps they should go back and look at what was actually said - their own hysterical claims that criticising Yassmin infringed on her freedom of speech, and their hypocritical backflip on Folau.


The difference between these two situations is the morality of their ideas. Folau expressed a repugnant view, whilst Yassmin expressed a non-repugnant view. Sure, the latter may not be true but if we're going into the realm of objective morals, then it is clear that Yassmin's views are objectively more moral than Folau's.

It's relevant in some cases and to a certain extent.

In this situation, I personally have no compunction with Israel Folau being fired. He says gays would go to hell when they die. He should be happy that he won't go to hell then.

When it comes to the issue of homophobia, yes.

At the very least Folau should have been fired from RA for being an unmitigated tosser and dickhead.

Folau has been playing below his capabilities and should be fired for that.

No, it means they have a right to not have hate speech preached to their kids.

Rugby Union has been trying to eradicate homophobia within its ranks for years. They warned Folou the first time he preached against the hommers.

Nothing to do with religion. Folou is free to post publicly about the Lord, and does. The Union is saying he doesn't have the right to spread homophobia while he's on the team.

But I'm curious. Do you support the Muselman preaching against the hommers too?

That's a question.

It occurs to me that Yassmin is the perfect example of how freedom of speech is supposed to work, while Folau is the perfect example of how to stick your head in your rectum, create a mountain out of a molehill, and turn a man into a martyr for freedom of speech over a banal and familiar opinion.

Yassmin was rightly mocked for saying stupid things, misappropriating public funds to line her own pockets, lying about Islam, and getting hysterical about the criticism she rightly deserved. Despite having plenty of perfectly legal reasons to fire her, the ABC stood by her and refused. But she wilted under the glaring reality of what people think of her. It seemed to take her by surprise. Being an ugly black female Muslim of apparently limited intelligence and perception, she was probably accustomed to being a protected species at the ABC and SBS. She ran away from freedom of speech, while the usual apologists were trying to turn the public mockery of her into an attack on free speech, as though she should be able to do and say stupid things without anyone noticing.

Folau ran towards freedom of speech. Rather than subject him to public criticism for his opinion, the homofascists did the cowardly thing and conspired behind the scenes to make him lose his job - a move that is likely to turn out to be illegal. Then they followed this up with celebrating gofundme pulling his campaign. Both propelled Folau into the spotlight, massively increased public support for him, and allowed him to raise $2million in 2 days. Now he is likely to win the case or get a favourable settlement, all under the public eye. He said something stupid and the homofascists turned him into a hero of free speech for it.

The two cases could not be more different, yet somehow the usual apologists are now trying to use Yassmin to accuse those who support freedom of speech of hypocrisy. Perhaps they should go back and look at what was actually said - their own hysterical claims that criticising Yassmin infringed on her freedom of speech, and their hypocritical backflip on Folau.


The difference between these two situations is the morality of their ideas. Folau expressed a repugnant view, whilst Yassmin expressed a non-repugnant view. Sure, the latter may not be true but if we're going into the realm of objective morals, then it is clear that Yassmin's views are objectively more moral than Folau's.


Do you think that is relevant when it comes to freedom of speech?


It's relevant in some cases and to a certain extent.

In this situation, I personally have no compunction with Israel Folau being fired. He says gays would go to hell when they die. He should be happy that he won't go to hell then.


Is it relevant in this case?


Yes.


Should the law take morality into account in deciding who can get fired for their religious views?


When it comes to the issue of homophobia, yes.


Does whether Folau was telling the truth have any impact on this morality of yours?

It wasn't one person FD, there was a chorus of calls for her sacking, including a petition that went out:

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/yassmin-abdelmagied-abc-activists-vil...

And that was just for the single line tweet: "lest we forget (Manus, Nauru, Syria Palestine)"

Were they the same people defending Folau? I don't know, and I never said they were. What I am interested in though is where were the people who are standing up for Folau now on freedom of speech grounds when this attack on someone's freedom was happening. People like you FD. If you think its so terrible for someone's job to be threatened for exercising their freedom of speech, where were you when all these liberal politicians were calling for Yasminn's contract with the ABC to be terminated - just for that single tweet?

Also, I'll take a punt and guess that neither Abetz or Barnaby Joyce (among all the others in the article calling for Yasminn's head) will be saying its ok for RA to terminate Folau's contract. What do you reckon?

That's a question.


To be fair, FD disagreed with my view that muslims holding up a placard saying "behead those who insult the Prophet" should be charged for incitement, and defended their right to do so. So credit where credit's due. On the other hand, I've always felt that such platitudes prove to be rather convenient when it comes to lumping in all the mainstream teachings of Islam with the ideology of the extremists: since its a bit difficult to call for beheading placards to be banned, but not the Quran itself - if your modus operandi is that they are both identical.

Ultimately, the problem with this, and all the other tired debates including Yasmmin etc, is that it has been completely engulfed in the same old tired partisan culture war. And the reality is, any attempts to separate it from the culture war - whether its FD's "its only about freedom" side, or the opposing "its only about contract law" side - are doomed. Why? Because RA itself wrapped itself in the culture war cloak to begin with - by painting this as a homophobic thing - as opposed to, say, an "atheist-hobic" thing. If you look at his tweet, he lumped in not only gays, but atheists in with such undesirables as drunks, thieves and liars. So why not say he was discriminating against not only gays, but also atheists (who are a far bigger population than gays)? We all know the reason - because attacking homophobia, not 'atheist-phobia' is what fuels the culture war.

As you say K, RA has been campaigning for years to stamp out homophobia. This is right and proper, but it undeniably makes RA right in the vanguard as a partisan player in the culture war. And as such, it is inescapable that they will attract a veritable army of enemies in any case like this - the usual suspects. And it will never matter much what the contract actually says. So its simply futile to try and claim, as many have, that this is only an issue of contract law. Yet at the same time, RA's actions can easily be justified on contract law grounds - as despite what FD has tried to claim, the specificity of the tweet (ie lumping gays in with undesirables like liars and thieves), combined with the specificity of the contract clause (thou shalt treat people with dignity and respect - including specifically regarding sexual orientation) - means that RA are on solid legal grounds.

You would pass the first test of showing they are the same people, but the situations are still not the same. Yassmin was not fired for her religious views. She was not even fired. She ran away.

They are not identical. One is a book. The other is a placard with the condensed message. But you will run into big trouble if you want to ban the placard but not the book.

I did not claim it is only about freedom. I am saying that freedom trumps the employer's interest in micromanaging the personal life of their employees. It is only the homofascists that try to pretend there is only one issue here, with various forms of "he was not sacked for his religious view, he was sacked for homophobia, contract terms etc".

That's what the law says. If your contracts violates employment, it does not matter what it says.

And I wonder why not? You have proven yourself willing to get on your moral high horse over all sorts of cases regarding alleged individual attacks on freedom. Here we had an employee of the ABC expressing their freedom of speech, followed by a deluge of outrage from members of the government no less - you know the people who control funding and board appointments to the organisation that she worked for - directly calling for her sacking. Clearly a case of someone's employment undergoing undue pressure because of her views. This should have been right up your alley FD.

Irrelevant. The issue is freedom of speech, not religion.

So what are you actually arguing then FD? For the law to be changed?

Do you actually take issue with RA having the right to dictate the terms of their contract to Folau - when it can include sacking for religious views? Or is your only issue that the 'homofascists' haven't come clean and admitted that he was sacked for his religious views?

Sure, the latter may not be true but if we're going into the realm of objective morals, then it is clear that Yassmin's views are objectively more moral than Folau's.


Do you think that is relevant when it comes to freedom of speech?


It's relevant in some cases and to a certain extent.

In this situation, I personally have no compunction with Israel Folau being fired. He says gays would go to hell when they die. He should be happy that he won't go to hell then.


Is it relevant in this case?


Yes.


Should the law take morality into account in deciding who can get fired for their religious views?


When it comes to the issue of homophobia, yes.


Does whether Folau was telling the truth have any impact on this morality of yours?


He wasn't telling the truth, so that's a red herring.

Yes. That's what it means to be a secular society.

No, it means they have a right to not have hate speech preached to their kids.

Rugby Union has been trying to eradicate homophobia within its ranks for years. They warned Folou the first time he preached against the hommers.

Nothing to do with religion. Folou is free to post publicly about the Lord, and does. The Union is saying he doesn't have the right to spread homophobia while he's on the team.

But I'm curious. Do you support the Muselman preaching against the hommers too?

That's a question.


Are you saying Folau's sacking had nothing to do with religion because it was really about ahte speach?

I think people should have the right to be offended, and should have the right to determine with whom they wish to associate.


Does that include sacking people because of their religious views?


I asked you a question, FD. Do you want to have a go?

That's a question.


To be fair, FD disagreed with my view that muslims holding up a placard saying "behead those who insult the Prophet" should be charged for incitement, and defended their right to do so. So credit where credit's due. On the other hand, I've always felt that such platitudes prove to be rather convenient when it comes to lumping in all the mainstream teachings of Islam with the ideology of the extremists: since its a bit difficult to call for beheading placards to be banned, but not the Quran itself - if your modus operandi is that they are both identical.

Ultimately, the problem with this, and all the other tired debates including Yasmmin etc, is that it has been completely engulfed in the same old tired partisan culture war. And the reality is, any attempts to separate it from the culture war - whether its FD's "its only about freedom" side, or the opposing "its only about contract law" side - are doomed. Why? Because RA itself wrapped itself in the culture war cloak to begin with - by painting this as a homophobic thing - as opposed to, say, an "atheist-hobic" thing. If you look at his tweet, he lumped in not only gays, but atheists in with such undesirables as drunks, thieves and liars. So why not say he was discriminating against not only gays, but also atheists (who are a far bigger population than gays)? We all know the reason - because attacking homophobia, not 'atheist-phobia' is what fuels the culture war.

As you say K, RA has been campaigning for years to stamp out homophobia. This is right and proper, but it undeniably makes RA right in the vanguard as a partisan player in the culture war. And as such, it is inescapable that they will attract a veritable army of enemies in any case like this - the usual suspects. And it will never matter much what the contract actually says. So its simply futile to try and claim, as many have, that this is only an issue of contract law. Yet at the same time, RA's actions can easily be justified on contract law grounds - as despite what FD has tried to claim, the specificity of the tweet (ie lumping gays in with undesirables like liars and thieves), combined with the specificity of the contract clause (thou shalt treat people with dignity and respect - including specifically regarding sexual orientation) - means that RA are on solid legal grounds.



Good points, G, and you're right. FD has always defended Muslim free speech.

He just wants to ban them altogether.

I'm not sure if getting her fired was even on the radar here back then. The ANZAC tweet had nothing to do with religion, and Yassmin gave plenty of good, legal reasons for the ABC to fire her. At the end of the day, they did not.


Fire her? For suggesting refugees held in detention should not be forgotten?

I'm curious. Why is Yassmin free to say that on the radio but up for dismissal if she does it on Twitter?

And why should Folou be banned from preaching homophobia on the field, but free to do it on Twitter?

Questions questions. Do you want to give them a go?

Yassmin was rightly mocked for saying stupid things, misappropriating public funds to line her own pockets, lying about Islam, and getting hysterical about the criticism she rightly deserved. Despite having plenty of perfectly legal reasons to fire her, the ABC stood by her and refused. But she wilted under the glaring reality of what people think of her. It seemed to take her by surprise. Being an ugly black female Muslim of apparently limited intelligence and perception, she was probably accustomed to being a protected species at the ABC and SBS. She ran away from freedom of speech, while the usual apologists were trying to turn the public mockery of her into an attack on free speech, as though she should be able to do and say stupid things without anyone noticing.

Folau ran towards freedom of speech. Rather than subject him to public criticism for his opinion, the homofascists did the cowardly thing and conspired behind the scenes to make him lose his job - a move that is likely to turn out to be illegal. Then they followed this up with celebrating gofundme pulling his campaign. Both propelled Folau into the spotlight, massively increased public support for him, and allowed him to raise $2million in 2 days. Now he is likely to win the case or get a favourable settlement, all under the public eye. He said something stupid and the homofascists turned him into a hero of free speech for it.

The two cases could not be more different, yet somehow the usual apologists are now trying to use Yassmin to accuse those who support freedom of speech of hypocrisy.

Quote:
And I wonder why not? You have proven yourself willing to get on your moral high horse over all sorts of cases regarding alleged individual attacks on freedom. Here we had an employee of the ABC expressing their freedom of speech, followed by a deluge of outrage from members of the government no less - you know the people who control funding and board appointments to the organisation that she worked for - directly calling for her sacking. Clearly a case of someone's employment undergoing undue pressure because of her views. This should have been right up your alley FD.


She wasn't fired. As I explained in the OP, what actually transpired was a perfect example of how free speech is supposed to work. No-one defended her freedom to say stupid poo because it was never denied her.

Quote:
Irrelevant. The issue is freedom of speech, not religion.


In Folau's case, it is both. In Yassmin's, it had nothing to do with freedom of religion.

Quote:
So what are you actually arguing then FD? For the law to be changed?'


No. The law specifically prevents people from sacking someone based on their religion. That's the grounds on which Folau is taking RA to court.

Quote:
Do you actually take issue with RA having the right to dictate the terms of their contract to Folau - when it can include sacking for religious views?


Yes. That would be an illegal contract term. Or more accurately, an illegal interpretation of a very broad term.

Quote:
Or is your only issue that the 'homofascists' haven't come clean and admitted that he was sacked for his religious views?


That is only an issue with the homofascists who try to misrperesent what is going on. They flip flop between defending it on the grounds of a contractual technicality (and lying in the sense that this means it had nothing to do with his religious views) and actually taking a principled stance on the issue (freedom from religion - which a surprising number of homofascists here have come out of the closet on).

Come off it FD, you can't be serious.

Members of the government were calling for her head - over one little tweet. I'm talking about people who actually control funding and board appointements to the ABC, where she was working. We saw in the Guthrie blow-up how seriously the ABC takes such "suggestions" from government members (the board wanted Alberici sacked because they thought Turnbull didn't like her - and then sacked Guthrie (partly) because she didn't).

You can't seriously be suggesting there wasn't a real threat to her job - because she expressed her free speech. How is this anything other than a real and totally unacceptable attack on her free speech?

If Abetz and Joyce etc had simply said "she shouldn't have said that" but either stated specifically, or implied implicitly, that she had the *RIGHT* to say it, even as an ABC employee, then that would be "how free speech is supposed to work". But to come out and specifically say the ABC should sack her for what she said, is not how free speech should work. It is an egregious attack on it.

Excuse me, FD, do you think hommers are going to hell?

Read my answer.

I just did. That's what you said.

Read it again.

I did. Are you saying that... ?

FD, do you want to answer?

They were not calling for her head Gandalf.

Do you think people on here would care as much about Folau's freedom of speech and freedom of religion if it was merely a small number of politicians and a tiny minority movement calling for him to be sacked, without effect?

News Ltd had an entire campaign. Once she got death and rape threats and had eggs and spit thrown at her, they played the free speech no-one-has-the-right-to-not-be-offended card.

Still, fair's fair. FD has never had a problem with Lest we forget, just Islam is the most feminist religion.

Once she said that, well.

She's tinted.

Government politicians don't have the control and influence over RA, like they do over the ABC FD.

It would be more like Qantas board members demanding that RA (whom they are a major sponsor of) sack Folau. You know, people who RA actually sit up and listen to.

My point is that you argument does not actually rest on morality, but on getting the government to impose your version of religious truth on other people. If you would allow yourself to be honest, you would admit that your entire morality house of cards falls over on a question of truth.

You cannot prove it is true. That's the whole reason we separate government and religion. In your homofascist zeal you want to put the government back in charge of religion.

Of course they would. Joyce is already under fire for the sacking.

Folau's actual sacking isn't what the culture warriors are getting their pants wet over - its that the "homofascists" as you call them dared to attack him for his religious views. Joyce stepping in would have just upped the ante, as he is an actual vested interest in this - and it would have (rightly) been interpreted by the culture warriors as RA being put under real and significant pressure to sack one of their players - given Qantas's financial influence over RA.

To say that liberal politicians - including senior cabinet ministers - calling directly for an ABC employee to be sacked is not a serious interference that causes real influence to the ABC management is disingenuous to the extreme. Especially with what we now know about the Alberici case. And simply retorting that neither Yassmin or Alberici were sacked in the end does not change the fact that it was an egregious attack on their freedom.

Now now, FD, in Auggie's homofascist zeal, he hasn't said the government is responsible for anything.

I believe you're saying the government should step in to legislate hommer-bashing as a matter of "religious" freedom.

Who's been reading the holy Quran, eh?

And what sound does a jellyfish make?

I meet a few of the "going to hell" list, more if we take other shyte from the bible into account. I haven't complained and have no wish to, as far as I'm concerned he can go to hell with his religious crap. I have to wonder why the poofs couldn't do the same. Why are they offended by something they have no belief in? Why are the poofs so butt hurt? Perhaps that could be a rhetorical Q.

Outlawing the enemy's uniform - the gay mince, the hystrionic demands, the suicidal imperative, the safe space demands, the attacks on 'normals', the Pink Precincts - is not depriving one's own people of their freedoms.

Come off it FD, you can't be serious.

Members of the government were calling for her head - over one little tweet. I'm talking about people who actually control funding and board appointements to the ABC, where she was working. We saw in the Guthrie blow-up how seriously the ABC takes such "suggestions" from government members (the board wanted Alberici sacked because they thought Turnbull didn't like her - and then sacked Guthrie (partly) because she didn't).

You can't seriously be suggesting there wasn't a real threat to her job - because she expressed her free speech. How is this anything other than a real and totally unacceptable attack on her free speech?

If Abetz and Joyce etc had simply said "she shouldn't have said that" but either stated specifically, or implied implicitly, that she had the *RIGHT* to say it, even as an ABC employee, then that would be "how free speech is supposed to work". But to come out and specifically say the ABC should sack her for what she said, is not how free speech should work. It is an egregious attack on it.



So 'members of the government' didn't actually sack her?  No more than... say... the Irish QANTAS poof had anything to do with sacking Folau?

Hmm - when someone's right to say something hasn't been abrogated, but they are criticised for saying it.... where is there any need to discuss abrogation of rights?

I can safely say that I disagree with what you said, and think it was silly stuff to say in public - how is that abrogating your right to say it or post it?  Not saying I disagree with everything you post above - just using this as an example...

Now - draw your pay and hit the road - you're sacked!  Grin

News Ltd had an entire campaign. Once she got death and rape threats and had eggs and spit thrown at her, they played the free speech no-one-has-the-right-to-not-be-offended card.

Still, fair's fair. FD has never had a problem with Lest we forget, just Islam is the most feminist religion.

Once she said that, well.

She's tinted.


Those are criminal acts - nothing to do with any sacking ..... and I trust the perpetrators were arrested and charge and punished if found guilty... to the fullest extent of the law...

As I said elsewhere several days ago - citing criminal acts to support a contention of some 'norm' is not valid... and criminal acts are ........ criminal acts pure and simple...

I'd hardly say the majority of Australians were onside with that kind of abuse.... and many such would have punched perps out ...

Sidenote:-  So it's all right to 'egg' Fraser Anning for an innocuous comment on the inevitability of certain acts in response to numerous acts of others - but it's NOT all right to 'egg' a public commentator who utters utter silliness in public with a straight face?

Where do we start and finish with 'egging'?

Before you leap to the fray and over a cliff - I am not discussing rape and death threats and throwing of spit.... those are outside the pale ... but the issue I'm discussing is 'egging' and its moral justification.

Should Fraser Anning be 'egged' without any recourse to justice, natural or otherwise, and receive no sympathy.... and should Yassmin be egged and receive full recourse to justice and natural sympathy?  Are there gradings of 'eggees' that we should consider?  Are they divided by some political divide?  Are some more poof than others and thus only half go to Hell?  Do we, as a nation, hang politicians of one kind but not the other - in which case how far are we removed, in reality, from some Third World Dictatorship that decrees what is right and what is wrong and who should be hung and who should not, along social or political lines?

Questions, questions... so many questions....

Of course they would. Joyce is already under fire for the sacking.

Folau's actual sacking isn't what the culture warriors are getting their pants wet over - its that the "homofascists" as you call them dared to attack him for his religious views. Joyce stepping in would have just upped the ante, as he is an actual vested interest in this - and it would have (rightly) been interpreted by the culture warriors as RA being put under real and significant pressure to sack one of their players - given Qantas's financial influence over RA.

To say that liberal politicians - including senior cabinet ministers - calling directly for an ABC employee to be sacked is not a serious interference that causes real influence to the ABC management is disingenuous to the extreme. Especially with what we now know about the Alberici case. And simply retorting that neither Yassmin or Alberici were sacked in the end does not change the fact that it was an egregious attack on their freedom.


The only reason it is an issue is because Folau was actually sacked. Otherwise the vast majority would take the same view as the atheists, drunks, fornicators etc on Folau's list - who cares what they say?

Perhaps that could be a rhetorical Q.




It has got everything to do with 'GAY PRIDE' you see.




Setanta,

It is coz queers of all persuasions need 'SAFE SPACES' in which to be queers [of all persuasions].


Its sorta like snowflakes, ....i.e. snowflakes can't be subjected to intense scrutiny.

Why so ?

Coz, to closely scrutinise something, you need a strong light source,      100W at least.

And if you subject a snowflake to a strong light source, they will simply melt away!

Same with queers [of all persuasions].

They too, need 'SAFE SPACES' in which to exist.



Its about 'GAY PRIDE' you see.


Queers of all persuasions, are just SOOOO PROUD of being queers [of all persuasions],
that they fear that they may melt [too!] if they are subjected to any form    social    criticism or scrutiny.

Coz society, is the 'water' in which they swim.

And to be reminded of the existence of a
shhhh
, a bible, [by Israel Folau [such an unfortunate Christian name too, eh!] ] is simply intolerable!



But.....

'GAY PRIDE LIVES!!!!'

'We're queer! We're here!!!!     Get used to it. ....and don't mention Israel Folau or we'll all cry and assume fetal positions!!!!'



fetal = = of or relating to a fetus.     denoting a posture characteristic of a fetus, with the back curved forwards and the limbs folded in front of the body.


END OF SAFE SPACE !

END OF SAFE SPACE !

END OF SAFE SPACE !



WARNING; QUEERS, SHOULD READ NO FURTHER!!!

.....or, be sure to have a hanky close by, and be prepared to be emotionally compelled to assume the fetal position and to weep uncontrollably!



.




Romans 1:26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;


1 Corinthians 6:9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.


Galatians 5:19
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

I believe you're saying the government should step in to legislate hommer-bashing as a matter of "religious" freedom.

Who's been reading the holy Quran, eh?

And what sound does a jellyfish make?

You haven't said.


I meet a few of the "going to hell" list, more if we take other shyte from the bible into account. I haven't complained and have no wish to, as far as I'm concerned he can go to hell with his religious crap. I have to wonder why the poofs couldn't do the same. Why are they offended by something they have no belief in? Why are the poofs so butt hurt? Perhaps that could be a rhetorical Q.


What's it got to do with poofs?

Wasn't FD cranky with Rugby Australia? Or the government for not telling them what to do with their employees? Or the Separation of Powers?

I forget now.

FD?


What's it got to do with FD? Poofs are the ones whining someone said they are going to hell unless they believe in some sky fairy and repent to him. Why would you get upset if a nutjob like Israel says that? Why are the poofs and the perpetually offended giving a toss? Really who gives a shyte what he says and he had more reasons to have me in hell that a bit of miam miam?



Rugby Australia, eh?

Not that there's anything wrong with it.


I don't follow sport. RA has nothing to do with what I'm saying and asking you. So skip that and answer without RA or sponsors or Quantas. Why are poofs and their perpetually offended friends even giving a fuck?



Oh, some of them probably have spoilt hommer kids they don't want to offend.

So typical of sporting and youth associations.


That's the best you can come up with? I ask again...

"I don't follow sport. RA has nothing to do with what I'm saying and asking you. So skip that and answer without RA or sponsors or Quantas. Why are poofs and their perpetually offended friends even giving a fuck?"




Sorry, Setanta, I get you now. And do you know?

As one of their perpetually offended friends, I didn't give a fck either. A football player sacked for being nasty to our boys on social media. No worries.

But the more I think about it, the more I realise how good it is to be nice to each other. The more I think about it, the more I see the perpetually offended haters telling everyone they have the right to not be offended and saved from the dirty hommers and how very dare they fire our star haters.

Alan's a dirty hommer and even he's putting the boot in. The culture wars, it would seem, are being played out by a globalist Irish hommer from the boardroom behind the scenes and his white-nationalist hommer shock-jock opponent on the airwaves.

What a cat fight, eh?

And as ever, you're cheering for Alan. Good for you, dear. I didn't previously care about an issue of contract law, but when I think of Ooga-booga happy-clappies telling decent white people where they'll spend Eternity, well.

We won't have that, dear. It goes against nature.

Suppose Alan Joyce called for his sacking, but he was not sacked. Do you think people on here would care as much about Folau's freedom of speech and freedom of religion then?


Of course they would. Joyce is already under fire for the sacking.

Folau's actual sacking isn't what the culture warriors are getting their pants wet over - its that the "homofascists" as you call them dared to attack him for his religious views. Joyce stepping in would have just upped the ante, as he is an actual vested interest in this - and it would have (rightly) been interpreted by the culture warriors as RA being put under real and significant pressure to sack one of their players - given Qantas's financial influence over RA.

To say that liberal politicians - including senior cabinet ministers - calling directly for an ABC employee to be sacked is not a serious interference that causes real influence to the ABC management is disingenuous to the extreme. Especially with what we now know about the Alberici case. And simply retorting that neither Yassmin or Alberici were sacked in the end does not change the fact that it was an egregious attack on their freedom.


The only reason it is an issue is because Folau was actually sacked. Otherwise the vast majority would take the same view as the atheists, drunks, fornicators etc on Folau's list - who cares what they say?


I don't think Rugby Australia have atheists and drunks in mind in their anti-homophobia/anti-DV stance, FD, but do go on. It's good to see you express yourself. Most healthy.

Folou was warned he'd be axed from the team if he did it again. Rather than backing down, he made the decision to fire another one off, obviously as a test.

Rugby Australia pulled the only trigger they have - they gave him the boot. If they didn't, they would have been backed into a corner. Folou would have upped the social media campaign and become the haters' happy-clappie hero, a religious figurehead, a player on the religious-right who publicly undermines the national solidarity Rugby Australia wants to portray.

He's now waging a high-stakes campaign for freedom of religious expression, but he wasn't sacked for expressing religious views. He was sacked for hate speech against the hommers. I can't be sure, but I don't think anyone expects him to stop spruiking his religion. That's his right.

And that's why he'll lose his case.

Q.

If you are arguing that it was hate speech, BY, Israel Folau,
then please give us the quote of that hate speech.

And not,       the ideas, the 'plans', and the hate speech,      of Israel Folau ?



TherealKarnal,

If i quote your words, posted in this forum.

Does my quoting of your words/views,     mean that those views [that were expressed and posted by yourself],
can now be 'taken', to be views that have ['magically'] originated from myself ?





'Chapter and verse' ?

I believe you're saying the government should step in to legislate hommer-bashing as a matter of "religious" freedom.

Who's been reading the holy Quran, eh?

And what sound does a jellyfish make?

You haven't said.


I meet a few of the "going to hell" list, more if we take other shyte from the bible into account. I haven't complained and have no wish to, as far as I'm concerned he can go to hell with his religious crap. I have to wonder why the poofs couldn't do the same. Why are they offended by something they have no belief in? Why are the poofs so butt hurt? Perhaps that could be a rhetorical Q.


What's it got to do with poofs?

Wasn't FD cranky with Rugby Australia? Or the government for not telling them what to do with their employees? Or the Separation of Powers?

I forget now.

FD?


What's it got to do with FD? Poofs are the ones whining someone said they are going to hell unless they believe in some sky fairy and repent to him. Why would you get upset if a nutjob like Israel says that? Why are the poofs and the perpetually offended giving a toss? Really who gives a shyte what he says and he had more reasons to have me in hell that a bit of miam miam?



Rugby Australia, eh?

Not that there's anything wrong with it.


I don't follow sport. RA has nothing to do with what I'm saying and asking you. So skip that and answer without RA or sponsors or Quantas. Why are poofs and their perpetually offended friends even giving a fuck?



Oh, some of them probably have spoilt hommer kids they don't want to offend.

So typical of sporting and youth associations.


That's the best you can come up with? I ask again...

"I don't follow sport. RA has nothing to do with what I'm saying and asking you. So skip that and answer without RA or sponsors or Quantas. Why are poofs and their perpetually offended friends even giving a fuck?"




Sorry, Setanta, I get you now. And do you know?

As one of their perpetually offended friends, I didn't give a fck either. A football player sacked for being nasty to our boys on social media. No worries.

But the more I think about it, the more I realise how good it is to be nice to each other. The more I think about it, the more I see the perpetually offended haters telling everyone they have the right to not be offended and saved from the dirty hommers and how very dare they fire our star haters.

Alan's a dirty hommer and even he's putting the boot in. The culture wars, it would seem, are being played out by a globalist Irish hommer from the boardroom behind the scenes and his white-nationalist hommer shock-jock opponent on the airwaves.

What a cat fight, eh?

And as ever, you're cheering for Alan. Good for you, dear. I didn't previously care about an issue of contract law, but when I think of Ooga-booga happy-clappies telling decent white people where they'll spend Eternity, well.

We won't have that, dear. It goes against nature.


I've never cheered for Alan, he's grub. Just can't understand why anyone would care what some religious tosser says. As I've said, he has me on his list of "going to hell" and I couldn't care less.



Oh, it's about the code and representing Australia and being an upstanding role model for our youth - that type of thing.

Lucky we didn't sign up for it, eh?

I don't believe you, Setanta. How could you possibly imagine a champion football player is not a huge role model - in Australia of all places?

Folou's the star. He is the team. Apparently he's the most talented player in years.

You might recall the 1980s. Back then, kids regularly went out poofter-bashing. A number of hommers were killed, including a Wollongong news reader. One group of kids killed their teacher. Imagine, only 30 years ago, the penalty for being a hommer - in Australia - was death.

The police routinely turned a blind eye, did nothing, and closed unsolved cases. They were also some of the biggest poofter-bashers themselves.

This is the culture Rugby Australia is attempting to keep down. It's been eradicated for the most part, but as we keep seeing, these things have a strange way of resurfacing.

Remember when you and FD used to speak out against racism?

Memories, no?

I don't particularly care what you believe K. They were never my role models, nor my son's role models. Who TF would model themselves on bozos throwing/kicking a ball around. What a great life skill!

Sure shite like that happened in the past, many people were and still are targeted through no fault of their own, see the king hit laws for example. I don't think anyone deserves violence thrust upon them for being a poof, an atheist, a drunk an idolater, etc etc. It's not the 1980s any more not the 17 or 16 80s either. If you want to see hate against poofs, look no further that Islam where it is still in practice to kill them. But no, you can't do that.

Grap answered first well enough.

Have you asked them? Are you their designated spokesmanperson? I'm pretty sure the Muslim and fundy Christian kids may well have supported him. Should they be ignored? In my opinion, yes, just as he should have been.

are you seriously arguing that footy players aren't role models for kids?

I don't need to be anyone's designated speaker. There's a reason Nike, Reebok and thousands of other companies spends millions annually on player endorsements. But what do they know right? Choo choo didn't give a fuq about footy players so they must be wrong Grin Grin Grin Grin

Not for me when I was a kid, not for my kids or any of their friends. I'm sure there are some retards that think highly of these boofheads, probably led on by boofhead parents like you. Who said advertising bullsite doesn't work? Role models...  Grin

Seriously what TF is there to idolise you idolater? To hell with you. I've not claimed to be a benchmark, that is your strawman. On the other hand every one of my sons has worked from the day they finished studying not sitting back watching "role models" like these boofheads.

Oh, I see. So here you are defending a hommer-bashing Christian and advising us to blame Islam, so unfair, etc. 

I know you don't care, dear, but you do seem to care very deeply about a really mean group called "your lot". FD, Moses, Matty, Homo and a number of other victims here are constantly saying how offensive they are, so I'm curious.

Who are they?

So your sons are the benchmark, eh? Good-O.

If you don't care what the haters say, Setanta, why are you writing so many posts about them?

So you claim these boofheads are idols for why? Can you think of any reason?

I didn't say no-one gave a crap, I pretty much said it was laughable that anyone would take these boofheads as role models. Perhaps that is what is wrong with our society, expecting boofheads not to be boofheads and to look to real people that can be role models. Personally I didn't have anyone that I would call a role model but I did have an admiration for Douglas Bader. Never give up. I don't believe he was accomplice to any of the things footy players have engaged in over the years. Using boofheads as role models is setting your sights really low.

so because you didn't idolise them, no one else possibly could, right? Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


You're either arrogant enough to believe that you are the benchmark, or stupid enough to think it.



Seriously what TF is there to idolise you idolater? To hell with you. I've not claimed to be a benchmark, that is your strawman. On the other hand every one of my sons has worked from the day they finished studying not sitting back watching "role models" like these boofheads.


So your sons are the benchmark, eh? Good-O.

If you don't care what the haters say, Setanta, why are you writing so many posts about them?


They are for me. They have succeeded.

As I have said, I don't know why the whiners didn't just ignore the dickhead. Look where it's got them.

I don't believe you, Setanta. How could you possibly imagine a champion football player is not a huge role model - in Australia of all places?

Folou's the star. He is the team. Apparently he's the most talented player in years.

You might recall the 1980s. Back then, kids regularly went out poofter-bashing. A number of hommers were killed, including a Wollongong news reader. One group of kids killed their teacher. Imagine, only 30 years ago, the penalty for being a hommer - in Australia - was death.

The police routinely turned a blind eye, did nothing, and closed unsolved cases. They were also some of the biggest poofter-bashers themselves.

This is the culture Rugby Australia is attempting to keep down. It's been eradicated for the most part, but as we keep seeing, these things have a strange way of resurfacing.

Remember when you and FD used to speak out against racism?


I don't particularly care what you believe K. They were never my role models, nor my son's role models. Who TF would model themselves on bozos throwing/kicking a ball around. What a great life skill!

Sure shite like that happened in the past, many people were and still are targeted through no fault of their own, see the king hit laws for example. I don't think anyone deserves violence thrust upon them for being a poof, an atheist, a drunk an idolater, etc etc. It's not the 1980s any more not the 17 or 16 80s either. If you want to see hate against poofs, look no further that Islam where it is still in practice to kill them. But no, you can't do that.




Oh, I see. So here you are defending a hommer-bashing Christian and advising us to blame Islam, so unfair, etc. 

I know you don't care, dear, but you do seem to care very deeply about a really mean group called "your lot". FD, Moses, Matty, Homo and a number of other victims here are constantly saying how offensive they are, so I'm curious.

Who are they?


I think you have lost the plot you old hommer you.

It might have something to do with their skill on the footy pitch. Who knows for sure and who really cares, it doesn't change the fact that people follow Follau and take what he says and does very seriously.

and when I suggested that people do treat them as idols, you stupidly questioned if I had asked them. That you and your kids never did so why would anyone else? Now you're pretending you knew all along? How did you know? Had you asked them?

More fool them. I can't believe you believe the advertising that these meatheads are "role models". Could one aim any lower?


You claimed spokesmanperson for all of them. Not my doing. Just questioning the wisdom of such a claim. You have since claimed you don't idolise them, don't follow the sport, but you still think they are idols. Why are you speaking for a bunch of people that you don't even associate with?

As I have said, they were never a role model for me, my kids or their friends. As I have said, if that is the sort of role model you seek you are missing out on people that actually change the world. Some boofhead that can throw or kick a ball around is not a role model kids need.

Personally, I actually  don't disagree with any of that. However that doesn't change the fact that people see them as role models. You say you know that, but then you question it every time I suggest that it is so.

If you are looking for something to build yourself up with, you are, in my humble opinion, failing miserably.  Can I suggest, for your own good, you move on with the conversation?

Ah, never did. You brought that into the discussion. My position has always been these meatheads are not role model material. Your question, in adversity to my position, was to claim the above... You may have posed it as a question but your intent was obvious. Look back at the link to get context. Thanks for playing.

Do you know? I think that's exactly why you're posting here. You're not defending religion or free speech. You're not defending Folou's religious convictions or his boofheadness. You're solely defending his stance on the hommers - which you disagree with - but do so solely to have a stab at "your lot".

I reckon the point is that all peak sporting bodies take the view that their stars are or have become (for good reason or not) role models so, because they have provided the platform paid for by the public and sponsors, these role models have to toe an appropriate line taking that into account.  After all, that is the goose that lays the golden egg for them all.

I'm not sure what you mean by "identify" K. If you ask a straight up question, I'll do my best to answer.

Unfortunately for you I'm not. I don't feel the need to support his religious beliefs that I do not share, I also don't support all the butt hurt from him expressing his fucked up beliefs. You people want, no scream for a black and white solution. I can handle his religious beliefs, we hear them all the time from different religions, one of which you lot stand up for. It's a really simple thing to do, religious nut says something, ignore it.

You people want, no scream for a black and white solution. I can handle his religious beliefs, we hear them all the time from different religions, one of which you lot stand up for. It's a really simple thing to do, religious nut says something, ignore it.


your first 5 words says one thing, the rest contradicts it.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


Spell it out then Mimo. The "your lot" mentioned in the post I responded to, what does it mean and what does it mean to my feelings on poofs or meatheads? Are you a poof or a meathead?

Don't want to answer the question, do you, dear?

Who are "you people"? You say this in every post. They do bother you so.

If you don't mind me saying, they seem to offend you.

In that case I have to wonder who those other faces you posted laughing belong to. Laughing for others? You really are a pathetic creature. I know you'll have others telling you that it's not true but it is. We were having a simple discussion on what people should ignore. It seems you are one of those things.

Why? So you can try to attribute what others do or say to me again? Or hold me responsible for what they say?

No thanks. You picked your song, now bend over and enjoy the dance.

I have no idea why you think I follow you. I have been in this thread for hours. I guess it's the want of feeling important and someone taking you seriously. Sorry to disappoint. Perhaps you have feelings of persecution? A victim? Someone who has been subdued.

How do you come to that conclusion? I'm giving Aussie a chance to know the answer he asked in that thread and the chance to acknowledge how far you will suck up his arse. I'm sure he will continue to take my advice and abstain from giving permission.

What sound does a Lawyer make? Apparently you don't like the sound one may make but the other's sound is OK. Push him K. See what he has to say. There is poop to fling and miam to be had. As I have said a few times, he won't go there. You yourself asked him to go there so I had poop on my fingers. Why do you think he hesitates?

Let's go for a straight answer this time. We'll do a multiple choice.

Who are Setanta's "you people"?

A. The AIDS-spreaders and their handbags

B. The leftards

C. The Muslims and their filthy apologists

D. The race-traitors

E. The tinted hoards and dirty racist Boongs

F. So mean and offensive, especially to Setanta

Wise decision? Perhaps.

If I have ever used "you people" it would be monk's drunks and for all I know they could meet "all of the above". How would I know? Do you want to confess? It's OK. I use a proxy, it's like an internet condom. Grin

I don't give a rats arse about your gripe with Aussie in another thread. Why are you trying to deflect to Aussie in a thread that has nothing to do with him? The fact that you are should have given you the answer to this question

Seeings how Peccarhead is always championing refugees in detention human rights according to the UN etc etc.

How about he take heed of The UNs Declaration of Human Rights regarding Israel Folau?

Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private,to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

And Article 19:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas "through any media" and regardless of frontiers.

No-one stopped Folau from doing that.  It is self evident he said what he wanted to say.  Now....come the contractual consequences.

I see the schiessen is stirring over SloMo's proposed religious freedom bill... Pauline doesn't like it because it could permit Mussos to go on the rampage, and the Mussos want to make sure that universal rights and freedoms actually include them... well....
DUH!


Well - where does the freedom to express your religion - within the bounds of laws set in place already - allow head lopping etc or prevent a Musso from preaching on the virtues of Islam (without violence or violent intent etc)?

Folou has such a right, Rhino, as do you. Feel free to condemn the hommers to hell here, dear. The government will protect your right to do so.

So will FD, of course. But if you complain about white supremacists or any of his pet groups, FD may choose to ban you. It is, as he says, his right under his site's terms and conditions. It's his choice.

After all, what sound does a jellyfish make?

Now now, FD, in Auggie's homofascist zeal, he hasn't said the government is responsible for anything.

I believe you're saying the government should step in to legislate hommer-bashing as a matter of "religious" freedom.

Who's been reading the holy Quran, eh?

And what sound does a jellyfish make?

You haven't said.


I meet a few of the "going to hell" list, more if we take other shyte from the bible into account. I haven't complained and have no wish to, as far as I'm concerned he can go to hell with his religious crap. I have to wonder why the poofs couldn't do the same. Why are they offended by something they have no belief in? Why are the poofs so butt hurt? Perhaps that could be a rhetorical Q.


What's it got to do with poofs?

Wasn't FD cranky with Rugby Australia? Or the government for not telling them what to do with their employees? Or the Separation of Powers?

I forget now.

FD?


What's it got to do with FD? Poofs are the ones whining someone said they are going to hell unless they believe in some sky fairy and repent to him. Why would you get upset if a nutjob like Israel says that? Why are the poofs and the perpetually offended giving a toss? Really who gives a shyte what he says and he had more reasons to have me in hell that a bit of miam miam?



Rugby Australia, eh?

Not that there's anything wrong with it.


I don't follow sport. RA has nothing to do with what I'm saying and asking you. So skip that and answer without RA or sponsors or Quantas. Why are poofs and their perpetually offended friends even giving a fuck?



If you were a "poof" and/or someone who actually faces real discrimination in society you wouldn't need to ask this.

Suppose Alan Joyce called for his sacking, but he was not sacked. Do you think people on here would care as much about Folau's freedom of speech and freedom of religion then?


Of course they would. Joyce is already under fire for the sacking.

Folau's actual sacking isn't what the culture warriors are getting their pants wet over - its that the "homofascists" as you call them dared to attack him for his religious views. Joyce stepping in would have just upped the ante, as he is an actual vested interest in this - and it would have (rightly) been interpreted by the culture warriors as RA being put under real and significant pressure to sack one of their players - given Qantas's financial influence over RA.

To say that liberal politicians - including senior cabinet ministers - calling directly for an ABC employee to be sacked is not a serious interference that causes real influence to the ABC management is disingenuous to the extreme. Especially with what we now know about the Alberici case. And simply retorting that neither Yassmin or Alberici were sacked in the end does not change the fact that it was an egregious attack on their freedom.


The only reason it is an issue is because Folau was actually sacked. Otherwise the vast majority would take the same view as the atheists, drunks, fornicators etc on Folau's list - who cares what they say?


You are wrong FD. The culture warriors on the right would have made it an issue for exactly the same reason they worked so hard to make Yassmin's completely inoccuous tweet an issue. Which they did anyway, the first time he sent the tweet - and wasn't sacked for it. Its about sticking it to the progressives more than anything else. I believe this is your modus-operandi as well - you just think you're being more clever cloaking it in this legalistic narrative about rights of employment. You would obviously be back in witness protection had a muslim Rugby player been sacked for calling Islam the most feminist religion - or even a female muslim TV personality.

To say that liberal politicians - including senior cabinet ministers - calling directly for an ABC employee to be sacked is not a serious interference that causes real influence to the ABC management is disingenuous to the extreme. Especially with what we now know about the Alberici case. And simply retorting that neither Yassmin or Alberici were sacked in the end does not change the fact that it was an egregious attack on their freedom.


The only reason it is an issue is because Folau was actually sacked. Otherwise the vast majority would take the same view as the atheists, drunks, fornicators etc on Folau's list - who cares what they say?


You are wrong FD. The culture warriors on the right would have made it an issue for exactly the same reason they worked so hard to make Yassmin's completely inoccuous tweet an issue. Which they did anyway, the first time he sent the tweet - and wasn't sacked for it. Its about sticking it to the progressives more than anything else. I believe this is your modus-operandi as well - you just think you're being more clever cloaking it in this legalistic narrative about rights of employment. You would obviously be back in witness protection had a muslim Rugby player been sacked for calling Islam the most feminist religion - or even a female muslim TV personality.

Actually, treaty law is Australian law. Treaties are legislated.

Rights, on the other hand, are more broad. The UN Charter on the Rights of the Child, for example,is taken seriously, but it's not law, it forms policy - especially in schools and child welfare services. Their acceditors use the principles of UN charter to authorise them.

Anti-discrimination and human right charters are another mon-legally binding agreement. We have a commission for these rights - we have no bill of rights like other countries. The commission is able to litigate under civil law. Agencies that discriminate for various reasons seek exhemption for a time-limited period.

The homeless shelter I work at sought exhemption for trannies. It didn't want to place any man who called himself a woman on the female floor. The refuge has shared bathrooms. So when transgender people came in, we asked whether they'd had surgery. If they had, they were classed as women. If not, they went to a male floor. They had to seek exhemption from the equal rights commission to do this - every 2 years, I think.

Now they have a tranny room with its own bathroom, so it's all good, but this is an example of how Australia implements international human rights.

Never said she was. The ABC commendably stood by her, as they stood by Emma Alberici when the government was piling the pressure on. And we didn't call that attack on the ABC's supposed independence as a good thing for free speech - and nor should it be called so in the Yassmin case.

Like I said before, had Barnaby or Abetz simply said "I don't think what she said was appropriate etc, but she has a right to say it" - then that would have made all the difference. But they didn't - they specifically called for her to be sacked for it.

You are wrong FD. The culture warriors on the right would have made it an issue for exactly the same reason they worked so hard to make Yassmin's completely inoccuous tweet an issue. Which they did anyway, the first time he sent the tweet - and wasn't sacked for it. Its about sticking it to the progressives more than anything else. I believe this is your modus-operandi as well - you just think you're being more clever cloaking it in this legalistic narrative about rights of employment. You would obviously be back in witness protection had a muslim Rugby player been sacked for calling Islam the most feminist religion - or even a female muslim TV personality.

Yeee-usssh - but the fact remains that she wasn't sacked... big difference...

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/julie-bishop-resists-eric-abetzs-call-to...

"Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has resisted calls to sack Yassmin Abdel-Magied from a government advisory board over controversial Anzac Day comments because the ABC presenter has apologised for her "highly inappropriate" social media post and agreed to a mentoring program.

In a letter to Liberal senator Eric Abetz and obtained by Fairfax Media, Ms Bishop says that she had decided against "terminating" Ms Abdel-Magied from her position on the board of the Council for Australian-Arab Relations which is run by the ­Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade."


There's more - but being a silly bint and out of touch doesn't mean she is vicious and nasty and should be offered rape and death or sacking... she did apologise...

Abetz did call for her sacking.... I thought they should create her own comedy segment for her to air her views...  Cool

Anyway - my view is that the views of both Yassmin and Israel are worthy of a shrug, a shake of the head, and a moving on... not the kind of furore that has developed over such innocuous comments .... we can all pause to remember Manus etc ..... no big deal..... and gays going to hell?  Who cares if there is no hell anyway?

More laugh-worthy was 'Islam is the most feminist religion' .... now that deserves a comedy award for excellence...  Cool

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.” Abu Dawud 4462 (This is a sahih hadith)

Oh my. What an awful tinted rotter.


Tinted?  It would get the same response coming from Snow White and The Seven Mental Midgets ......

Leigh Sales - "Islam is now officially the most Feminist religion, according to studies undertaken by a Learned Professor in Moronistan.  The Australian Government has come out in support of the views of Professor Farken Blindasabat, head of the Moronistan Bureau of Gender Equality, who says that in-depth studies have shown the stark reality of Islam as regards women's rights... with those rights far exceeding those of men in Islam, and especially Moronistan"...

Suppose Alan Joyce called for his sacking, but he was not sacked. Do you think people on here would care as much about Folau's freedom of speech and freedom of religion then?


Of course they would. Joyce is already under fire for the sacking.

Folau's actual sacking isn't what the culture warriors are getting their pants wet over - its that the "homofascists" as you call them dared to attack him for his religious views. Joyce stepping in would have just upped the ante, as he is an actual vested interest in this - and it would have (rightly) been interpreted by the culture warriors as RA being put under real and significant pressure to sack one of their players - given Qantas's financial influence over RA.

To say that liberal politicians - including senior cabinet ministers - calling directly for an ABC employee to be sacked is not a serious interference that causes real influence to the ABC management is disingenuous to the extreme. Especially with what we now know about the Alberici case. And simply retorting that neither Yassmin or Alberici were sacked in the end does not change the fact that it was an egregious attack on their freedom.


The only reason it is an issue is because Folau was actually sacked. Otherwise the vast majority would take the same view as the atheists, drunks, fornicators etc on Folau's list - who cares what they say?


You are wrong FD. The culture warriors on the right would have made it an issue for exactly the same reason they worked so hard to make Yassmin's completely inoccuous tweet an issue. Which they did anyway, the first time he sent the tweet - and wasn't sacked for it. Its about sticking it to the progressives more than anything else. I believe this is your modus-operandi as well - you just think you're being more clever cloaking it in this legalistic narrative about rights of employment. You would obviously be back in witness protection had a muslim Rugby player been sacked for calling Islam the most feminist religion - or even a female muslim TV personality.



Yassmin wasn't sacked ..................she left of her own accord.......... her sails filed with gales of laughter which took the wind out of her sails....


Never said she was. The ABC commendably stood by her, as they stood by Emma Alberici when the government was piling the pressure on. And we didn't call that attack on the ABC's supposed independence as a good thing for free speech - and nor should it be called so in the Yassmin case.

Like I said before, had Barnaby or Abetz simply said "I don't think what she said was appropriate etc, but she has a right to say it" - then that would have made all the difference. But they didn't - they specifically called for her to be sacked for it.



Yeee-usssh - but the fact remains that she wasn't sacked... big difference...

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/julie-bishop-resists-eric-abetzs-call-to...

"Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has resisted calls to sack Yassmin Abdel-Magied from a government advisory board over controversial Anzac Day comments because the ABC presenter has apologised for her "highly inappropriate" social media post and agreed to a mentoring program.

In a letter to Liberal senator Eric Abetz and obtained by Fairfax Media, Ms Bishop says that she had decided against "terminating" Ms Abdel-Magied from her position on the board of the Council for Australian-Arab Relations which is run by the ­Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade."


There's more - but being a silly bint and out of touch doesn't mean she is vicious and nasty and should be offered rape and death or sacking... she did apologise...

Abetz did call for her sacking.... I thought they should create her own comedy segment for her to air her views...  Cool

So this is what passes as 'free speech' eh?

Employees of the supposedly independent ABC are "free" to say what they want as long as they admit they were wrong, offer a grovelling apology and undergo re-education - whenever someone from the government gets hurt feeling by what they said?

FMD, it sounds more like something out of North Korea.

How do you think it would fly with culture warriors like FD if Falua was able to keep his job with RA - provided he too agreed to undergo such humiliating grovelling and re-education?

Don't get all uppity - Muslims actually kill people for much less - for a book they haven't read or cartoons published in a country they couldn't locate on a map, clothes not worn as they demand it, being a non-Muslims or the slightly different kind of Muslim.

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/julie-bishop-resists-eric-abetzs-call-to...

"Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has resisted calls to sack Yassmin Abdel-Magied from a government advisory board over controversial Anzac Day comments because the ABC presenter has apologised for her "highly inappropriate" social media post and agreed to a mentoring program.

In a letter to Liberal senator Eric Abetz and obtained by Fairfax Media, Ms Bishop says that she had decided against "terminating" Ms Abdel-Magied from her position on the board of the Council for Australian-Arab Relations which is run by the ­Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade."


There's more - but being a silly bint and out of touch doesn't mean she is vicious and nasty and should be offered rape and death or sacking... she did apologise...

Abetz did call for her sacking.... I thought they should create her own comedy segment for her to air her views...  Cool


Pseudo Arab.


Exactly. She's more of a Jigaboo.

Lucky she's not a Paki like you.



Pakis are not Ayrabs, dear. What are they again?

Is that your shot at an easy out? Why don't RA sue IF?

Now, is marriage a contract?

They don't need to sue him.  They booted him.

No.

(Edit:  It does give rise to some rights but none of the kind to which you refer.)

For? You claimed he can and did sign away his human rights by signing a contract. I'm, saying so did my wife. Now since you know he can sign his away because of a contract, I'm posing to you my wife also signed hers away. Both are signed contracts.

Now stop trying to shake it off. It was your claim that one could sign away their human rights and that's what I'm picking you up on. You may not like the position you have now found yourself in with this claim but I would like you to answer it.

I'm shaking nothing off.  I stand by what I said.  If Folau wants to claim some right under UNHCR, then let him say so.  He hasn't.  He can flaunt off to The Hague and try his luck there if he likes.

You said people could sign(contract) away their human rights. That is what you said. All I'm doing is pointing out my wife did that too and I'm asking if she should obey the terms of her contract? Should she be forced to obey the contract?

Wouldn't that be something for her to give a go, K? And she didn't say I'm going to hell, so where does that leave you? Jaded?

That I should sue her? I can't legally do that and it's besides the point, RA are not trying to sue IF, you are just trying to squirm and not answer what I asked. You are the one that said you could sign away your human rights via a contract, all I'm trying to do is clarify that. You gutlessly refuse to do so. I wonder why? There was no mention of "wait for the courts" in your post so why are you doing that now? You made the claim and I'm calling you on it.

I'm not questioning the courts, Aussie. You made a statement, you are apparently a lawyer, yeah? You said you could contract away your human rights. That's not up to the courts, it's your statement, your claim. Stop trying to offload your claim to the courts and man up. Perhaps it's only human rights you don't want people to have that can be signed away? Are you a hypocrite?

I have been 'making a sound' for the last several minutes with you, but, as is usual, you have no capacity to understand when one side of a discussion has said all they have to say.  My PM inbox is replete with similar examples.

Go ask FD what sound a jellyfish makes.  Try your luck with him.

I do see your point though, dear. You're highlighting the similarities between contract and family law. Sort of a Venn diagram, so to speak.

Well, actually, dear, contract law surpasses human rights. The US has a Bill of Rights that people routinely sign away in employment contracts.

Mr Trump's employees and floozies always sign non-disclosure agreements, for example. All his wives do. Employees in the US often sign contracts that warn of disciplinary action for unwanted social media use. Many positions have codes of conduct that regulate your speech outside the workplace.

Australia doesn't even have a Bill of Rights. They can do what they want, dear. It's their world.

There are plenty of inalienable rights that you cannot sign away in a contract. Otherwise all our employment laws would be paper tigers. Hence terms like illegal and unenforceable clauses. If there was a real ex-lawyer in the house they would have no trouble explaining.

Aussie thinks it is legal in Australia to put clauses in your contract that allow you to rape your employees. No wonder he thinks Folau is screwed.

Link me to where I said I think that Effendi.  I'll bet you can't.  I have never said anything about being allowed to rape employees, but that seems not to deter you from putting false words into my mouth.

And, Effendi, really.  When you invite people here you require that they sign up to your contract.  Some might argue that your contract encroaches on the rights you say Folau cannot sign away.  Yet, you enforce your contract and think nothing of it.  So, why do you deny RA the same capacity?

Big difference between a religion that says you'll go to hell if you continue your kind of behaviour, and one that offers to give you hell on earth and then send you to hell at knife point ..... even if you are not guilty ...

Subtle difference, I know, but still..

If they are not displaying/using any company/ employer identification & in their own time in private ......... then why should an employer dictate what you say in your private life on a public forum that has nothing to do with your workplace?

I would have expected a bunch of lefty unionist types to be keen to limit the authority and reach of an employer into private life, but instead, it’s been almost the exact opposite.

Not enough privilege points Folau, if only you had been darker and Muslim... and not a bogan sportsman.  Smiley

If it costs your employer customers, he has every right to act. Whether you have the company logo on your facebook page or not is irrelevant. Whilst you are an employee of theirs, you represent the company. 

Are you going to argue that if you had staff and they posted something that cost you, or had the potential to cost you, hundreds of thousands in revenue, you wouldn't act? Pull the other one. Most of you wouldn't even give him a warning or a second chance.

gnads, when your employer specifically markets themselves as an anti homophobic organisation, and regularly makes PR promotions supporting gay rights - then suddenly being homophobic has everything to do with your workplace.

This is a point the critics seems unable to grasp - the fact that being employed by RA includes a lot more responsibilities than merely playing Rugby well.

Haven't yet met a person who says an individual's personal views somehow reflect on the good name of the company they work for...

People just consider it to be their personal view, unless it is an extreme like gassing Jews or something....scarcely any comparison with a religious view that harms nobody.....now if Israel Folau had said that unless homos and drunks etc mend their ways  his religious sect would be chopping off their heads after committing them to flames or that his religious observance meant banning anyone else outside the group from 40km of coastline etc..... and he would be first in line with the flaming brand and the goon squads banning the access to the beach for thousands...

If you took your partisan cap off for just one second secret, you would see where the glaring hypocricy lies-  and its not with the 'lefty unionist types'. Its actually the topic of this thread - comparing Folau and Yassmin - and the rank hypocricy of people like Eric Abetz who called for Yassmin's head for a tweet, then cries 'attack on freedom' when RA goes and does to Folau what they were demanding of Yassmin.

So now people are going to flood to stay away from Rugby because Israel Folau said that sinners would burn in hell?

I doubt it.... Rugby fans are more likely to show up with pitch-forks and wave banners saying "Burn in Hell, All Blacks!" and so forth.... or even take the piss out of Israel...  "Give 'Em Hell, Izzie!"  "God is on Our Side!" .....  Grin  Grin  Grin

No, the sponsors are the ones they are worried about.

QANTAS is their main backer I believe, and they were said to be putting pressure on RA.

My position has always been consistent, employers have no place dictating what any one does with their own social media albeit they can proscribe posting about that employment, and I hope that a court will affirm that.

And my partisan cap remains, the forum clowns who would ordinarily revolt against an employer dictating what an employee can post on their own social media have weighed up the privilege points and found for ...the employer.   Being a Christian is trumps obviously.  Roll Eyes

Cos a contract.  Even with Sally McManus pointing the way they still find themselves wid da man. Bring back grapes of wrath employment contracts cos the clowns here have rolled over.

Eric Abetz can speak for himself.

There could be some virtue and value in what you suggest here, Smith - perhaps I've been underestimating you ...

Which group do you want chopped first?  Feminists?  Abos?  Mussos?

A personal religious view can do all that?

Who'd 've thunk it?

You still haven't answered how it could possibly cost RA for Folau to make a religious statement based on personal belief.... I don't see the diehard Rugby fans staying away....... but then ... we all know you limit your statements to anything that will seek to bring down the other poster.... can't rely on your for any supporting fact or anything....

When and where has this ever happened?  You know - this terrible outcome for a business from a private post in own time by an employee?  The poofs not going to Rugby matches?

I don't know if you include me in that but to me it's not an issue of freedom of speech, it's freedom of religious expression. I'm not religious in any way but that freedom of religious expression is something everyone should have if any have it. It'd make me enormously happy if we didn't have to deal with religious views, but we do.

As I have said before, I have no idea why people that don't follow that faith get all torn up when someone expresses what their religion states. Sure call it out for the crap it is but to carry on like he personally has lit the fires of his supposed hell and pitchforking poofs, atheists, drunkards, etc, etc is just crap. He's just stating what his worthless book says. It doesn't offend me that I'm on his god's list.

Aussie thinks it is legal in Australia to put clauses in your contract that allow you to rape your employees. No wonder he thinks Folau is screwed.


It is unreasonable to dictate to employers that they have no say in how their employees can conduct themselves on public forums FD.


That is not what is happening. The law forbids firing people for their religious views. Employers can still have plenty of say outside of that. You can probably still get fired for trashing your boss on facebook.

Indeed.  Don't sign up to receive $M4 in exchange for keeping your book of fables out of the www if you want to keep the $M4 at the cost of NOT posting the fables.

As I have said before.....I 'employ' one moderate Bible Basher.  He knows, because I have told him, that if he preaches to the people in my Cab, I will take him out of the Cab.  He was very quick to tell me that he would never do that.  He is a great driver, bloody good bloke and earns excellent money for himself.

There is another called The Preacher.  He was begging me to give him a drive.  I always declined because the first thing he does in the Car owned by the Cab Licence holder is adorn it with God Bothering baubles.  I don't care that he believes.  I simply do not want him to take advantage of the exposure to the public which I provide him, to push his schit.

Same thing RA/Folau.

You write bad things on the www. Should you be fired for it? Some of the stuff that has come out of your head is 1,000 worse than burning in hell comments. Signing up for a work contract shouldn't mean that it's restricts what you can write about your religion in your spare time. That's slavery. This Rugby Union contract has stepped way beyond the bounds of individual civil liberties.

A far better comparison would be between Israel Folau and that fat chick in Malbadishu who wanted to burn the nation down over 'Indigenous rights'....

Did she cop the sack from her public-funded jobs for making inflammatory and frankly violent statements in public?  Or does she have too many brownie points for being part-Aboriginal, a sheila, and weight enhanced and thus somewhat disabled?

As John Jarratt said about why that 'case' even went before a court - the DPP people are so frightened of not appearing to 'stand up for the rights of the victim' that they'll throw such a thing to a court and thus wash their hands of any responsibility.. and they do that without a single care for the real victim. 

In that case, they'd never sack the fat bint because of the bad press that the screechers would generate about 'discrimination', 'racism' and so forth..   Grin  Grin  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes

JS bears full responsibility for his own abuse of other users.. if he were not such good comedy material and so easy to poke a stick at, he'd be reported on a daily basis...

Now if only he would come up with a sensible response to any other post for a change.... but like ever so many, he mistakes blindlly adhering to any 'poor me' issue for being on the side of the angels and as if it's some kind of holy writ, and lacks the mental capacity to actually consider it in full and then discuss it like a reasonable human being.

For example, he blindly accepts any 'issue' raised by our Indigenous brethren, without a moment's thought for the often dire impact on others of such endless demands, and he is quite incapable of discussing with equanimity the reality that those who often make the decisions in favour of these demands, do so from a position of fear of an adverse response and vicious name-calling unless they do.

One hint of the word 'racist' etc, and they run and hide and give to Kaffirs/Mussos/Gays/Mentals/feminists (no capital intended as a sign of contempt) anything they demand or even might demand.

BTW - who was it that ever gave those bodies the right to dispense with our rights and our land and so forth, without so much as a by-you-leave from We, The People?

How about a blanket decree of NO right now - a total moratorium on any claims from these groups - and then we'll start again from the bottom with a full review of all those claims going back twenty-five years or so?

Money better spent than just continuing to hand out everything to losers on demand.

Smithy is incapable of reasoned discussion and of even answering a question.... we retain his services for comedy value and to give us a little diversion, through having someone  to poke a stick at...

A very sad reflection on our better style of Italian import .... and clear evidence of the need to impose provisional citizenship, perhaps, on that evidence, for three generations, so as to ensure Australian Purity...

BTW - dual citizens should get half pension and unemployment benefits etc.... bit hard to pick up social security when  you're straddling a barbed wire fence or sitting on a high ethnic horse ....

About time to bring the meat of the situation to them in full... same as many another 'issue' doing the rounds....

No, the sponsors are the ones they are worried about.

QANTAS is their main backer I believe, and they were said to be putting pressure on RA.



Joyce denies that.

And it's not "Qantas" ... it's Joyce.

Why should he be able to hide behind the company logo & assert influence on RA to deal with Folau?

Afterall Joyce is just an employee of the company.

No, dear, Joyce is appointed by the board.

And I believe this decision was discussed by the board.

But that's irrelevant. The team is the team. Why should sponsorship have anything to do with who they select to play? This was RA's decision.

Without Folou, apparently their best player ever, they should expect to lose sponsorship too. After all, Folou, as every schoolboy knows, is the reason they win.

A devil's choice, innit?

Which is subtly, but crucially different to firing for a) expressing those views and b) the medium in which they are expressed. If Folau's boss had asked him about what he thought about gays and Folau answered that he believed they were going to hell - then that is obviously very different to an unprompted broadcasting of that view on a platform viewed by millions.

You talk about a slippery slope, well how more slippery can you get when you make the broadcasting of any kind of hate speech - up to and including incitement of violence - a completely protected activity under the law - so long as it is done under the cover of "religious beliefs"?

So I think you are wrong - I don't believe the broadcasting of any sort of speech under the cover of "religious beliefs" has to be completely off limits to employers in their conditions of employment. The law will understand the nuance between holding a religious belief on the one hand, and how they go about broadcasting those beliefs on the other. Obviously no one would argue if a muslim was sacked by RA for posting "it is my sincere Islamic belief that all jews should be rounded up and gassed forthwith" to his millions of followers - nor would there be any argument when he is arrested for the same thing.

FD's not defending religious speech, G, he's defending hate speech.

Remember, when Yassmin Tweeted something as harmless as lest we forget refugees, FD defended the rape and death threats that followed - to the letter.

For FD, a tinted Muslim woman comparing the plight of refuges to Australians killed in foreign wars deserved everything she got, whether she was expressing her religious views or not.

Likewise, FD's not defending Folou's right to spruik the message of his prophet, he's defending Folou's right to slag off the hommers.

FD hasn't defended religious freedom since "he changed his mind" in 2007. FD is now of the opinion that those who follow the religion of Islam should be banned. FD wants them asked cunning questions on their visa applications - questions designed to trip them up, agree that they support genocide, want to kill gays who do it Mardi Gras-style and tough-titties, off with their treacherous heads.

In fact, why ask them at all? They have to believe this, they're Muslims. They don't share the same values as Whitey. The purpose of the visa questions is to get them to admit that they can't live among civilised people so you can knock them back, but still maintain you believe in freedom.

FD's always been rather quiet about what to do with the ones like you; citizens who convert. He hopes you'll sneak off to fight in some foreign war so you can be banned when you try to return.

As for all other Muslim religious practices: praying, reading the Quran, visiting Mecca, giving alms to the poor, etc, FD's got that covered too. FD, you see, has redefined Islam as a terrorist political movement. Therefore, all Islamic religious expression can be banned.

You make a mistake when you assume FD shares liberal views on religious or cultural expression, G. He doesn't. Whenever you can get a straight answer out of him, he expresses views that are the very antithesis of liberalism.

FD is not defending religious expression here, he's defending the expression of hate. FD wants the freedom to bludgeon people he doesn't like, and his criteria for them is anyone who challenges the Anglo-Saxon global hegemon led by Uncle, Mother and their agents - the Saudis and Israelis in the Middle East, for example, or their puppet regimes in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

For FD, the preservation of this order is so fundamental it goes without saying. Why would you even question it? FD was happy to uphold freedom of expression and pluralism and civility until someone came along who actually challenged his world view, someone so diabolical the very sight of his name made the blood rush to FD's head.

Do you know who that ex-member is, G?

Is that why you never answer questions FD? you're a chicken sh1t homo fascist?  Grin Grin Grin

I've answered your question, multiple times. If you don't like the answer that's your problem. Not mine.

And the fact that Joyce threatened to pull QANTAS sponsorship.


that's been my argument all along homo.

I've asked you the question several times, but each time you ran away without answering. We'll try again. If you has a business, and an employee of yours posted something on social media that could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars, would you take action against him?

You cannot fire someone for their religious belief unless they make those beliefs known the others. The law would be meaningless if interpreted your way.

Let me try to dumb it down for you. Was Folau fired for expressing his religious views?


No.


Well that's a surprise. I was expecting you to go with the meaningless obfuscation options rather than the blatant lie option. And it only took you a few pages to give a straight answer.

Is your reasoning that the technical appeal to the contract clause means he was not expressing his religious views?

You talk about a slippery slope, well how more slippery can you get when you make the broadcasting of any kind of hate speech - up to and including incitement of violence - a completely protected activity under the law - so long as it is done under the cover of "religious beliefs"?

So I think you are wrong - I don't believe the broadcasting of any sort of speech under the cover of "religious beliefs" has to be completely off limits to employers in their conditions of employment. The law will understand the nuance between holding a religious belief on the one hand, and how they go about broadcasting those beliefs on the other.

Here's what you are missing Effendi.

Employer:  Are you a Muslim?

Potential Employee:  Yes.

Employer:  No worries, I'll employ you.  Start Monday at $M4 over four years.  But.....Because of the high profile your employment by me gives you and an obvious connection with me because of that, you are required NOT to spruik your Mulsim views on social Media.  Do you agree?

Potential Employee:  Yes.

nope, other than you pretending to interpret the law, that doesn't shed any more light on the subject.

You claimed he can't be fined for his religious beliefs unless he makes them known to others. If not the employer, then who are the 'others' you are talking about?

You are being obtuse - again.

I did not say its a simple case that you can be fired for letting those beliefs be known to others. I even gave a specific example where you shouldn't - if his boss had asked for his opinion. However it is simply absurd to say that any old hate speech should be off limits - so long its under the cover of "religious freedom" - regardless of the medium and the circumstances in which its said. We know that won't fly under the law (try shouting in the middle of a busy street that its your sincere religious belief that all jews should be gassed) - so it obviously shouldn't be a protected condition of employment.

where as YES

if you post your religious thoughts on social media  it is a conscious act  to do so

and if it is against a clause in a  contract you signed   then YES you have wilfully broken your contract.

Not really sure what part of that you don't understand.

If you believe he was, then simply provide a link to the statement from his employer saying that he was fired for expressing his religious views.

If we are going to use religious beliefs as the "trump card" in the Folau saga, an argument could be made that RA has a higher authority on their side.

Romans 13:1-3:

Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. 3 For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you.

So the real question is where should these conditions start and finish?  Second question is how should this kind of oversight of an employee's personal life be regulated and codified so as to prevent abuse?

He was fired for breaching his code of conduct FD.

Do you need me to repeat it for you again?


Let me try to dumb it down for you. Was Folau fired for expressing his religious views?


No.


Well that's a surprise. I was expecting you to go with the meaningless obfuscation options rather than the blatant lie option. And it only took you a few pages to give a straight answer.

Is your reasoning that the technical appeal to the contract clause means he was not expressing his religious views?


My reasoning is that he wasn't fired for expressing his religious views.

Not really sure what part of that you don't understand.

If you believe he was, then simply provide a link to the statement from his employer saying that he was fired for expressing his religious views.

Over to you.


That's like saying 'applications will be encouraged from Nepalese citizens' - meaning in reality you will only consider applications from Nepalese citizens...

Nah, nah - we didn't sack Israel for expressing his religious views.. we sacked him for expressing them and we are using a vague contract and verbal chicanery as an excuse..... we believe, in our all-inclusive manner, that there is room for all religious belief systems...and in the freedom to express them in your own time.... as long as you don;t express them in contravention of our vague contract.

So, greg... what part of religious beliefs do you find hard to follow?  Or are you saying that expression of personal religious views is an absolute right, but we can contract to abrogate that right by ordering you not to do so?

The reality is he's been sacked because the poofs are upset... big deal - tell 'em to swallow some cement... give 'em 50c and point them to a public phone....

Should be fun watching this case come out...

Did you ban JS for his views, FD?

Or for disagreeing with yours?



not this time ... but it's still early   Roll Eyes


We'll ask FD.

FD, will you rule out banning JS for being a hideous spineless jellyfish with his own views that may or may not differ to yours?

A simple yes or no will suffice.




I'm afraid FDs position is a sinecure and is infra cure ..... he is not obliged to give his reasons for the short-term termination of someone with a long record of offence ...

"And this year's Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in Sledging goes to.........."



We're not talking about obligations, dear. We're talking about Freeeedom.

Besides, it would be polite to tell JS why he received a 6 month ban.

It's not an obligation, it's a courtesy.

You?

making sure everyone knows it was a 12 month ban   and not 6 is not being shy!


is that why you were banned for 12 months?...


I am not crying about folau either.. in fact I believe he was wrong and deserved to be sacked...

to my mind a contract is a contract

dont sign it if you dont agree with it.

i think everyone should know what a duplicitous coward FD is. Don't you? And he refuses to say why. If you checked my comments prior to the ban there was nothing extraordinary there to warrant a 12 month ban. The only logical conclusion is that he lost the plot, or doesn't like people who disagree with him. Given that both Mothra and I got our ban at the same time, for the same period, the last reason is the only one to make sense.

when you decide to have your very own forum  I am sure you will understand
you answer to no one...

its your forum and you pay the bill... in the mean time there is no obligation for any member to post...

you dont like the rules  so be it..

fd doesnt answer your questions its not as if he does for some and not others.

its his choice its his forum....

perhaps you get better service at monks?....

so therein lies your choice...

fd is being fd    he isnt being duplicitous at all...

it's not about answering to anyone. How do I, or anyone else, know what got his panties all knotted up the last time, and what to avoid doing in the future, if he doesn't tell me what it was? I used to moderate an immigration forum years ago and I ALWAYS told people why they were banned. Not that I banned many.

How about the 'theoretical' religious belief that they really were a literal mindless collective of treacherous Jews without individual personality? Or that even the rocks are going to assist people in slaughtering Jews?

Religions don't have to include hate speech, but one of them throws it in for free.

You are so obsessed with making this about me and my personal beliefs FD, you totally forgot to address the actual point. Again.

For the record, if a muslim worked for an organisation that expressely strove to make their public image one of standing up against anti-semitism - then I reckon it would be perfectly fine and proper for them to sack him if he repeatedly went on social media to say that jews are a mindless collective with no individual personality. Especially so if they had gone to the trouble of warning him the first time he did it that he would be sacked if he continued doing it.

Thanks for bringing that up Gandalf.

What about a Muslim who was employed to mop the floors in a motel. Do you think it would be OK to fire such a Muslim who posted online about mindless collectives of treacherous Jews?

Or do Muslims not do that sort of work in the first place?

You are starting to go into raving mode FD.

The pre-conditions I set out are eminently clear and self-explanatory. Snide little digs at muslims disguised as legitimate inquiry don't conceal your ducking and weaving of the actual point here.

Would followers of Islam be pretty much unemployable if all employers made it part of their code of conduct that people who wanted Jews pushed into the sea would not be hired?

For the record, if a muslim worked for an organisation that expressely strove to make their public image one of standing up against anti-semitism - then I reckon it would be perfectly fine and proper for them to sack him if he repeatedly went on social media to say that jews are a mindless collective with no individual personality. Especially so if they had gone to the trouble of warning him the first time he did it that he would be sacked if he continued doing it.


Would followers of Islam be pretty much unemployable if all employers made it part of their code of conduct that people who wanted Jews pushed into the sea would not be hired?


No Setanta, and such snarkiness is unbecoming of you. Best leave the snide Islamophobic digs to FD and co.

It's not snarky. Moslems generally seek to see Israel returned to Islam. I've said I don't agree with legal religious discrimination. If my job does not interfere with what they teach I should be able to be employed by them. Computers are not religious hence I should be able to work in a religious school. I personally have no problem with people of other faiths working in schools as long as they accept the teaching of the school.

Religious people don't tend to share my point of view and that is why I'm asking you, should Muslims(or anyone) be banned employment because they don't hold the views of their employers. We do know Islam sees Israel as occupied territory and seeks it's annulment. Is it OK to deny people employment if they hold that belief. We have Jewish own big companies, should they be able to deny employment to people who seek their destruction? If employers took that position, would Moslems be unemployable?

Bullshit. You literally implied that all muslims want to wipe out the jewish race.

Its about as offensive as you can get. On a par with FD's "all muslims support genocide" (direct quote by the way).

Perhaps you could answer it as if I didn't do what you claim, give it a go. What is the second most holy site to Islam and where is it? Are you saying Islam does not want to have control of it and the lands it conquered and claimed?

Thats exactly what I'm saying. The vast majority of muslims don't give a flying faark who controls the Al Aqsa Mosque sentanta - and only slightly fewer wouldn't even know what it is. You are just stereotyping muslims as some mindless collective who only ever think about such obscure political issues that have precisely zero relevance to almost every muslim's actual day to day life.

Obviously the premise of your question is absurd and offensive - as I've mentioned already. But as to the general principle, if a company really did employ someone who was actively trying to undermine and even destroy it - it should go without saying they should be able to sack them. And call the police while their at it.

If what you say is true, the second most holy place to Islam is not cared about and little known, is it only religious/political leaders that care? Do people even listen to them? I've watched docos showing both sides and I'm not convinced by either not having a dog in the fight. Why do you think they don't care when it is a part of their religion? Is not having it in the hands of their enemies/unbelievers a blasphemy? Do they care about the black stone? Are unbelievers allowed to get anywhere near it? Is the Haj still a thing or do most not give a shyte?

I'm not religious, I don't understand how you people think. If you want me to have any idea of what you are on about I can only look at what you say and do and generally it's not that good. And I suppose as questions you see as stupid. Such is the life of the unbeliever.

You'll notice FD ran off without answering your question, G, followed by the appearance of Setanta, who steered you into their cunning campaign against that all-time mindless collective the Muselman, right?

Tell me Set, do you reckon an impoverished housemaid in Indonesia spends all her days fretting over the status of the Al Aqsa Mosque? I've been to Friday mosque sermons for the best part of 15 years now, and I must say I can't recall a single instance in which the status of the mosque has been mentioned. Not once.

But even if you were right, and we really are obsessing over how to get Al Aqsa back under the control of Islam - why does this necessarily equate to wanting genocide of the jews?

I'm not the one claiming all Muslims think anything at all .. or that all religious people are slaves.

That would be all you. In judgement.

Me calling you on it is a far lesser example of what you yourself are doing. I'm calling you, an individual, on your words. And with the benefit of having tried previously to have similar conversations with you.

You are intractable. You always have been.

You were once civil and respectful though. You're no longer even that.

You might have a point there K. Some religions do seem better than others. Better yet philosophies that are treated like religions. Damned Buddhists.

Are you telling me all religions are equal? Like all cultures are equal? That the benefits of these cultures and religions are something that should be shared worldwide?

Pissed offedness is nowhere near what i'm feeling. And you raisded the ante ... suggesting that all Muslims felt any way at all, least of all what you ascribed them.

Then the claim that all religious people are slaves.

Can you seriously suggest a more productive way of dealing with such commentary that dismissing it and criticising it's source?

As i said, there is no point debating this with you. I tried many times before you became hostile in general. I got nowhere. You don;t want to change your mind. You just want to insult. God knows you get enough praise for doing it on here.

It's not going to work on me.

You have been corrected. I fail to see what more needs to be said to you.

All religious people are slaves. Slaves to their doctrine and beliefs. How can you deny that? I've always be somewhat hostile to religion. Like forever. It's not a new thing at all. I haven't insulted anyone unless insulting religion is insulting and I've always done that.

Seems the one that hates catholicism and endured it's travails has a hard on for other faiths now. Why do you think they deserve any more respect?

Can you seriously suggest a more productive way of dealing with such commentary that dismissing it and criticising it's source?

As i said, there is no point debating this with you. I tried many times before you became hostile in general. I got nowhere. You don;t want to change your mind. You just want to insult. God knows you get enough praise for doing it on here.

It's not going to work on me.

You have been corrected. I fail to see what more needs to be said to you.


All religious people are slaves. Slaves to their doctrine and beliefs. How can you deny that? I've always be somewhat hostile to religion. Like forever. It's not a new thing at all. I haven't insulted anyone unless insulting religion is insulting and I've always done that.

Seems the one that hates catholicism and endured it's travails has a hard on for other faiths now. Why do you think they deserve any more respect?




Some of the finest people i know are Catholics. And some of the qualities i like most about me are inspired by my religious upbringing.

Your point?


Living proof that it depends on how you handle yourself.... living by basic Christian, Buddhist, or Muslim or any other beliefs is just a clear indication of your socialisation - for every one like you - there are one or more who do not follow the same ideas...

Most people just want to get on and be decent - but there are always a few who want to be violent and vicious....

Now show us how to see the difference....... the problem has always been, and always will be, with a minority with some grievance, real or imagined, who will use that as the justification for insane actions.

How do YOU pick the difference?  I'm curious....

Identifying certain groups under suspicion of this and not applying it generally is both foolish and bigoted.

You know that Yassmin qualified that comment by saying clearly "for her" Why be so dishonest?

She is certainly entitled to believe that Islam resonates most deeply with her own feminist beliefs.

She has certainly never diminished or belittled the crimes against humanity so common in totalitarian regimes.

Some people just seem to want there to be as much antagonism as possible. You appear to be one of them.

Here's the thing, your way isn't the solution to the plights of those repressed and oppressed women. Neither do i think you really care about them aside from using them as a political football ... as do so many others on here.

So.... ahhh.. who identifies certain groups under suspicion?

So operating on a probable cause in order to prevent a wrong is not a valid approach?  You would prefer that rather than a single Muslim terrorist be hung, a thousand potentials pass the gates without check?

It only takes one to kill a crowd.... so if comparing, for example, Buddhists as a group, you feel they should receive equal scrutiny in order to prevent wrong?

The statistical probability is that a Muslim has a greater chance of committing a grievous offence...... so you feel that probability should be overlooked in the interest of 'equal treatment'?

Let's try a parallel - if immigrants from an AIDS-ridden country seek to arrive here, should they be given the exact same scrutiny as all others?  Should prospective immigrants from a country torn by civil war for decades and generations be given the exact same scrutiny as a prospective immigrant from nation that has known peace for generations?  Should prospective immigrants steeped in a religion of conquest, paranoia, and violence be treated the same as a prospective immigrant from a nation at peace for generations and with no history of supremacism and domination by death and violence?

I'm curious.... how do YOU define 'equal treatment'?  Is equal treatment not based on reasoned evaluation of all factors, with each individual factor given equal weight?

I'm FD's sock obviously K. Occam's razor, init.

I think FD and I differ though, I don't like any religion. Why do people choose to be slaves?



Oh, I think you like some religions more that others, Setanta.

Why do some people choose to be tinted?


You might have a point there K. Some religions do seem better than others. Better yet philosophies that are treated like religions. Damned Buddhists.

Are you telling me all religions are equal? Like all cultures are equal? That the benefits of these cultures and religions are something that should be shared worldwide?


In answer to your first two questions, I most certainly am not. In answer to your third question, I absolutely am.

Religions are not equal, just as medications are not equal. You use them for their specific benefits and say ah.

The Vedas describe 4 categories of spiritual practice:

1. Karma yoga. Karma means action. This is where you work selflessly, thinking of no outcome or benefit to yourself, your work becoming your spiritual practice. Mother Theresa was such a yogi. Gandhi was a more formalised practitioner.

2. Bhakti yoga. Bhakti means devotion. This is the yoga of faith, where you worship an object of attraction. Prayer, fasting, faith. Christians, Muslims and Hindus are Bhakti yogis.

3. Jnana yoga. Knowledge or self realisation. Here the yogi questions the premise of their ontology. Who am I? Where am I? What is thinking? The Buddha was a great Jnana yogi.

4. Raja yoga. The "king" or "royal" yoga, also known as ashtunga, the "eight limbed" path outlined in the Patanjali Sutras. This is a systematised path which ends in samadhi, or peace. It has elements of the above yogas and more.

The Buddha's "noble eightfold path" is believed by some to have influenced Patanjali's sutras (or narrative threads) in the form of a system. These yogic practices had existed centuries or millennia prior to their 250 BC discovery on bamboo-leaf parchment, but they were written here in a deeply resonant Sanskrit form that put the practices into context.

My teacher says that when you are working and doing, you are a karma yogi. When you are loving, you are a Bhakti yogi, and so on.

The first three yogas above are really the foundation of Raja yoga, and there are many other yogas aside from these.

The benefits of the cultures and religions most certainly should be shared with all who need them in the world. Some will naturally be drawn to certain ones. I'm not much of a devotional type. I simply don't get Christianity, Islam or Hinduism, although these religions do include yoga practices that are not just Bhakti.

I'm more drawn to Raja yoga and Buddhist practices, primarily to still my mind, feelings and expectations.

All cultures and religions are not the same, but we need to be curious about them all to understand our friends who use them.

It's worth saying that the cultures and religions also have their dark tendencies that need to be avoided. The method itself is not the aim. Nothing is fundamental beyond love, curiousity and awareness. Anything that teaches hate or intolerance or closed-minded absolutes is to be avoided at all costs.

This is different to warnings of consequences for failure. There are indeed some very hard fates in the universe, many on our own planet. Hanging out with dogs does give you fleas, throwing pearls before swine is indeed a waste, letting people or bad habits into your tent that will bring you down certainly does require you to kill them wherever you find them.

The same goes for cultures or religions that might seduce you into a state of mindless determination. Hatred is used for this, channelling all your energies towards a target of destruction.

Many see the tinted races as such a target. Others see the non-religious - or the religious. Whatever the target, letting hate into your tent will surely destroy you.

All cultures and religions serve a purpose. All can be a friend - or an enemy.

You?

Beautifully put. I love it when you take the time.

As to your bafflement of Christianity; is that more so in the accepted application of the church or the teachings of Jesus?

Because, and i hasten to explain that my understanding of Hindu and Buddhism is by far inferior to your own, i've always thought that JC kinda fit in with the nicer bits quite nicely. As does the value placed on introspection and charity of Mohammed.

The golden rule, do unto others, is common in most religions and spiritual, moral and ethical  systems .. at least as i understand it is. And this commonality represents my inclinations the best. What unites us, irrespective of religion , agnosticism or atheism.

Stuffed if i know why people get caught up on being right. And it's usually the ones complaining the hardest about others. Completely, of course, ignoring the golden rule.

No, Mother, I just mean I don't get religious devotion. I find it very hard to muster up any feeling for a picture of Krishna, say, or the Virgin Mary.

I also don't understand how Jesus dying admonishes any of my sins. These are habits we need to eradicate in ourselves.

But I know that for some, a sincere focus on an external personality helps them to remove these habits and find love and respect for others.

People tell me I'm too "in my head", and they're right.

Thus - I go for Jnana yoga.

(But that's just moi.)

My father is a little the same. He trained to be a Jesuit priest before giving in, as he puts it, to "original sin". Devoted church man all my life but he's more of a Buddhist than anything these days. Although he still dutifully accompanies my mother to church.

But he rejects any form of symbolism or ritual categorically as devious. I see his point ... to a point.

As for the grotesque images designed to traumatise children of thehorrible  end of JC, couldn't agree more. It was largely me not understanding why i had to go to confession if he died for my sins, my mother's insistence that my cat wouldn't go to heaven and nobody being able to tell me who God's mummy was that first inspired my rebellion.

But i do take some comfort in riitual and symbolism. Just the nice ones.

Well, the telos of the counter-reformation is reason, Mother. It makes perfect sense for Jesuits to become Buddhists in old age. Plenty of those on Buddhist retreats are lapsed Catholics.

Especially the Tibetan ones - all those prayer wheels, brass and incense.

It's the four noble truths that got him. Stopped him quoting the Desiderata at me after years and years and years. Made a nice change.

He's not into the bells and whistles but he does have a solar powered laughing Buddha in the garden. Mum got it for him. She was being supportive. He keeps it amongst his azaleas.

You are so obsessed with making this about me and my personal beliefs FD, you totally forgot to address the actual point. Again.

For the record, if a muslim worked for an organisation that expressely strove to make their public image one of standing up against anti-semitism - then I reckon it would be perfectly fine and proper for them to sack him if he repeatedly went on social media to say that jews are a mindless collective with no individual personality. Especially so if they had gone to the trouble of warning him the first time he did it that he would be sacked if he continued doing it.

You are starting to go into raving mode FD.

The pre-conditions I set out are eminently clear and self-explanatory. Snide little digs at muslims disguised as legitimate inquiry don't conceal your ducking and weaving of the actual point here.


So having Jews as customers is not sufficient? A business has to take a political stance first?

Don't you think all businesses have expressed policies that are incompatible with anti-semitism, or do they have to specifically mention anti-semitism in particular?

It was an example, a deliberately crude one.

A more realistic one would be insisting their employees conduct themselves in public in a way that treats all cultures and races with respect and equally. To me that would reasonably rule out calling jews a mindless collective with no individuality repeatedly on social media. Apparently you wouldn't?

Why do some people choose to be tinted?

Why do some tinted people choose to go to white countries and then complain that people notice and often dislike their tinted ways? Why dont they choose to go to another tinted country? Are they ALL shitholes?


Challenge: name tinted countries that are not shitholes and explain why the tinted people from shitholes are not infesting them.

So pretty much any company could refuse to hire someone, or fire someone, based on them posting mindless collective of treacherous Jews memes on the internet?

Regardless of whether the company specially identify themselves as being anti anti semitism?

Why not?

Since when has it been deemed unfair or improper for a company to take into account a candidate's public conduct before deciding to employ them?

That's why people are very reluctant to hire anyone called Mohammed, Abdul, Jihad or anyone overtly Mohammedan??

Oh? So the oft cited higher rate for unemployment amongst the Arabic community is a direct result of discrimination and not because they are all lay welfare cheats?

Thanks for clearing that up.

Since all sorts of anti-discrimination laws came into place. Your employer is no longer allowed to fire you for hanging out in a gay bar, going to a mosque, attending a political protest, or blaming victims of genocide for their own demise on account of them being a mindless collective of treacherous Jews (so long as you clan blame it on your religion of course.)

It previously depending on a public political stance made by the company. You even pointed out that you were very clear on the conditions. Have they changed?

None of which involves repeatedly breaching the terms of a signed code of conduct on a public platform like twitter. You're right, employers can't fire you for being gay or muslim - but they can fire you for publicly expressing hate speech - if you signed a contract/code of conduct promising you wouldn't express hate speech. Even if such expression is somehow a vital part of your religious beliefs. You wouldn't and don't dispute an employers right to sack one of their employees for publicly calling for jews to be gassed in ovens - not even if its stated specifically as their religious belief.

the language some use is so full of hate and aggression  yet I wonder if they have actually had to deal with anything that comes close to what they describe in a personal way.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I will be honest   I dont believe I have ever met a muslim  and I dont believe I need any LAW to tell me how to behave let alone what to think...

no law will stop peoples attitude...if someone makes up their mind about a certain group  then calling them names like racist wont change their way of thinking  it will in fact make them worse...Labels and Laws do bugger all.

Virtue-signalling, innit. Some people love laws - especially laws that don't do anything. Laws to send tinted criminals BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM or do background checks for tinted immigrants are rather popular, despite the fact that these are already laws and policies.

Another popular one is stopping tinted immigrants getting the dole and public housing. How very dare they? My friend had to wait 20 years for a Housing Commission flat and these Gollywogs move straight in!

Alas, dear, immigrants are not eligible for the dole or public housing, but that doesn't stop the virtue-signallers getting all mixed up.

You?

its the rage that gets me...its getting uglier dont you think?...

I dont think its a good thing to use a minority group as a weapon against others.....to me thats small minded

  being Gay is no one business these days  and from what I read about them  they are neither violent towards other groups....or demean other groups .. they are a pretty harmless minority as far as i am concerned  I would rather people left them alone...

Folau has chosen to use them as an example of badness  as if they have chosen the  path that will lead them to hell... what a hide he has got..he has an even bigger hide to call himself a Christian..

.what about Lepers   will they go to hell as well?  after all they too are different.. Angry Angry Angry and in a place they didnt choose...

Hate speech is a pretty nebulous term Gandalf. It does not boil down to anything inherent to what you say, or even to your intentions, but rather to whether people choose to be offended by it. Take Folau for example. As far as I can tell, he does not hate gays any more than the rest of the people on his list. There is no way of detecting hate in his speech other than what other people project onto it.

Would you consider it fair for any company to fire you based on what you posted here about the Banu Qurayza?

Thats really funny coming from someone whose entire argument is based on insisting that we must differentiate one of the most nebulus terms imaginable - 'religious belief'.

I have no doubt Folau doesn't hate gays, and yes identifying what constitutes breaching the clause "Treat everyone equally, fairly and with dignity regardless of gender or gender identity, sexual orientation" - is vague and open to interpretation. But guess what? The employer - ie the ones that make the clause get to make that interpretation (within reason I suppose). To me the key here is that RA actually notified Folau the first time that they considered it a breach. Folau presumably disagreed, but he should have known there and then that it was RA's perogative to interpret if and how their own clauses are breached. And Folau signed that contract containing that clause. So tough titties.

Most of the coverage focused on the fact that Bangladeshi and black British workers earn a lot less than white people, more than two quid per hour in the case of Bangladeshis and one quid in the case of black British people. Structural racism, then, you see. Except for the slightly inconvenient point that way out there at the top of the earnings chart were the Chinese, who earned almost four quid more per hour than the whites, and indeed Indians, who earned almost £1.50 more. So if it is racism, it’s a very specific and discriminatory form of racism.

Pakistanis also do very badly by comparison, earning over three pounds less per hour than the Indians, whom they closely resemble and with whom they were once conjoined in a glorious and happy empire. How, then, can racism be to blame for this discrepancy? And if it’s not racism, then what is the cause?

The first answer might be to look at a few other statistics, such as those charting educational attainment by ethnicity. These figures — produced by the Department for Education — mirror almost exactly those earnings figures, with one or two discrepancies. For GCSEs, the Chinese come top, by a mile, the Indians come second. White British come a little further down the list, easily beaten by white Irish. Level with the white British are black people of African descent; only in the headlines are they grouped together with black British people of Caribbean heritage, who perform less well.

Now, the discrepancies. First, bottom of the list for academic attainment by a hefty margin are children from Roma/traveller families — and they were not included in that ONS survey, for reasons I will leave you to work out. And second, Bangladeshis out-perform white British kids at GCSE (although they are still well below the Indians and Chinese).

What might explain the gap between this comparative success and the low earnings of the adult population? Is it possible that the top employers would baulk at taking on someone called Mohammed, but have no aversion to the names Anand or Patel? Possibly, and we should allow for that caveat. But it is also true that of Britain’s ethnic minority communities, Pakistani and — especially — Bangladeshi adults are the least likely to speak English fluently or indeed at all. Sajid Javid highlighted this point in a government green paper — some 770,000 people in the UK have either a frail or nonexistent grasp of English, the overwhelming majority being Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.

Add to that the fact that Bangladeshi families (again from Javid’s green paper) are the least likely to take advantage of free child-care facilities, and you begin to understand why, though Bangladeshi children generally do well at school, their elders are behind in the labour market. Too many of the older generation are unable to speak English. It is also true that both Bangladeshis and Pakistanis often come from working-class backgrounds, whereas Indians and Chinese are more predominantly (although far from exclusively) middle class.

So, to sum up: first, whatever the reason for those discrepancies between ethnic minorities in earnings, racism is almost certainly not the cause. Second, the headline figure — that ethnic minorities earn 3.8 per cent less than the white British — is utterly meaningless, given the vastly different level of earnings within ethnic minority communities. Third, the most obvious explanation for disparity in earnings can be found in the figures for educational attainment: communities which value education the most highly go on to earn the most money, with the exception of Bangladeshis, who may be hampered by having insufficient language skills. Whatever the cause, then, it ain’t race.

Gandalf would you consider it fair for any company to fire you based on what you posted here about the Banu Qurayza?

Hate speech is a pretty nebulous term Gandalf.


Thats really funny coming from someone whose entire argument is based on insisting that we must differentiate one of the most nebulus terms imaginable - 'religious belief'.

I have no doubt Folau doesn't hate gays, and yes identifying what constitutes breaching the clause "Treat everyone equally, fairly and with dignity regardless of gender or gender identity, sexual orientation" - is vague and open to interpretation. But guess what? The employer - ie the ones that make the clause get to make that interpretation (within reason I suppose). To me the key here is that RA actually notified Folau the first time that they considered it a breach. Folau presumably disagreed, but he should have known there and then that it was RA's perogative to interpret if and how their own clauses are breached. And Folau signed that contract containing that clause. So tough titties.


I am yet to see any serious disagreement on here about what is a religious belief. There is pretty much constant disagreement on the meaning of hate speech. A significant number of people here would deny it has any meaning.

To me that is irrelevant. I can't figure out why people keep making a point of it. Even the papers do. Giving advance warning cannot turn a bad policy into a good one, and politely explaining to an employee that you are denying them the right to express their religious views does not change what you are doing.

Well that's the thing you have the right to express your views no matter what, just be prepared for the consequences.

Based on what i actually posted - no, based on the racist words you shoved down my throat and pretended I said - probably - provided of course I willingly signed a contract in effect saying I wouldn't be racist like that, and after they had warned me that they considered those words racist and in breach of my contract.

Suffice to say I don't think anyone would disagree that calling on jews to be gassed in ovens is hate speech. Its also perfectly plausible that it could also be a religious belief. A person's religious belief is literally what the person claims it to be - as no one is in any position to say otherwise. While we all disagree on what constitute unacceptable hate speech, I think I can safely nevertheless say that we all agree that such speech exists. And if it does exist, and if 'religious belief' can be absolutely anything, then it is undeniable that this apparently sanctified, untouchable thing you call "religious belief" - can, and no doubt does, include hate speech. At that point, we are left with no other choice but to accept that 'religious belief' is not always the sanctified, untouchable privilege you make it out to be.

Since your only argument seems to be the need to uphold the sanctity of religious beliefs, you would presumably be ok if RA had said "thou shalt not smear gays - unless its an expression of 'religious belief', in which case its quite alright" - yes? Which is of course laughable.

No, FD, that's what you said, remember? Mindless Collective, no individuality whatsoever, so unfair.

G said it when he quoted you.

We discussed this one for about 6 months a couple of years back. It was all fleshed out and quoted. You must have forgot again, you silly thing.

Shurely shome mishtake, eh? I do hope you haven't caught the old boy's stool disease.

Does your contract have to single out this particular form of racism, or would the usual clauses cover it?


Depends what "the usual clauses" actually say. What is your point here exactly?

What matters here is that Folau signed a contract saying he wouldn't dis people for their sexual orientation. He then proceeded to do just that by saying gays are sinful for being gay and clearly implied they are in the same moral boat as rapists and thieves.

My point is that you would fall foul of the same clause - if Jews went on the same sort of victimhood trip that gays and Muslims do. Fortunately for you and your racist ilk, they don't.

The contracts mostly all say the same thing on this. They are copied and pasted. Plenty of mine have been copied and pasted with the typical copy and paste errors. My previous one didn't even bother updating the references properly.

More than that, G, Folou had been "counselled" on RA's non-discriminatory message. Folou took a public stance against his employer's values.

The latest High Court decision on public servants, of course, destroys Folou's case entirely. Imagine, employees can now be sacked for anonymously questioning their employer's policies.

If anything goes against FD's cherished ideal of Freeeedom, it is this.

Jews have been on a victimhood trip since the birth of Zionism in the 18th century.

They have every right to too. They still face varying degrees of discrimination around the world.

Laughable. How do you reckon Friedrick Toben would go getting a job at the Simon Wiesenthal centre of something similar - even if he was the most qualified candidate in the world? If I had really said the things about jews you claim I said, then it would simply be a waste of time me applying for any job at any organisation thats even remotely jewish. To say that for any candidate they wouldn't trawl through all their online profiles looking for evidence of anti-semitism, and that if they found one it wouldn't adversely affect their candidacy (and rightly so) - is the height of absurdity.

Which is why they warned him first. It would be understandable that Folau might think the contract that he signed was full of meaningless virtue signalling that no one really cared about, or were even aware of. Still, the high profile public campaigns RA did specifically about equal rights for gays - campaigns which funnily enough Folau himself participated in - should have been a red flag for him.

Or perhaps he did know, and went ahead anyway - perhaps even because he knew he would become a martyr for the cultural warriors, not in spite of it.

"The Federal Circuit Court has today ordered representative rugby union player Israel Folau to enter into mediation with Rugby Australia and the NSW Waratahs before his unfair dismissal claim goes to trial on February 4 next year.

"Chief Judge Will Alstergren, sitting in Melbourne, set down a timetable for the case, which is based on a claim that his sacking breached religious protections in the Fair Work Act.

"Folau will argue that his social media accounts were unconnected to his employment as a professional rugby player, and primarily used to lawfully communicate religious content in accordance with his faith."

Standard procedure.  Contrary to schmedia reports, this is not a win for RA.
