Interesting that JRM is comfortable with having people of many different views within the party, but those who have different views to him want him out.

My guess would be that they want to maintain control of the party but haven't got the nous required to argue their case, unlike JRM.

I doubt this result will stand. Particle physics is full of 3 and 4 sigma results (even 5 sigma results) that evaporate upon further research.

Of course climate science is no where near as settled as particle physics. Not in the same ballpark.

However, this shouldn't blind us to the fact that there is indeed such a thing as settled science and that consensus is a major part of science - in fact it is essential to scientific progress, as it is the basis for what scientists around the world do every day. Without consensus research could not build on previous results.

Purely through incompetence, Obama is following, fairly closely, the policy the US should be implementing in these Islamist infested hell holes: Support one side, then the other, then switch, back and forth .. until both sides are either spent or dead. Let's get back to the good old days of the Iran/Iraq wars.

David's point about a truly reformed member of an evil organization being driven to tell others about it was especially powerful. Clearly Mr Khan has no such drive. It's now up to the ACU to decide: Heads in the sand or wake up and smell the grass?

This site should be re-named Rothbard.org. It is a disgrace to trade off the good name of von Mises to push forward Murray Rothbard "the angry young man" (as Ayn Rand called him), and pretend as if he speaks for von Mises, the most civil and cultivated of men. Talk about bait and switch.

A work colleague occasionally spouts off about "the damn wogs" (this is in Australia) and if someone has a go at him he says "it's OK, I'm a wog, too". He's whiter than white, but he's from Greece. From one of the islands, not the mainland. The Turks didn't get to all the islands!

"...we would have invited you" ?

Masters of the 'passive conditional' tense are they not?

"Sadequee (who is defending himself in court)..."

The old adage "A person who represents himself in court has a fool for a client" was never more apt.

Indeed, DB, the difference in attitude toward their own criminal element is very telling isn't it?

The Vietnamese also don't take any sh*t, and the Muslim Lebanese gangs have learnt to their cost to keep clear of them.

Ah, the great Natalie, from my old stomping ground of Newtown, Sydney. What a honey! The Vietnamese in particular (but the Chinese and Asians in general) have been great immigrants to Australia and the west.
