oh your having a loan of yourself, us blokes just listen to your chatter, figure whether your ever telling the truth or not, whether you have at least one redeeming feature, whether you ladies think you know right from wrong or if your mind is completely out of control, emotionally overburdened with gaga or not
The goal of Buddhist is to obtain enlightenment. Enlightenment can be described as going beyond, in other words having ceased all course for suffering rebirth. You cannot be a victim unless you sowed the seeds of the victim
I dunno i cannot presume to know what is going on in there heads, i do know that lots of Monks, Nuns and concerned practitioners visit prisoners to help them. And that's not to convert anything like that, Buddhist don't see experience arsing without course
By some HHDL is said to be living goddess of compassion.
The nature of compassion being referred to relates to the interdependent arising of experience.
An example, murder is executed and is promptly flung into his/her next rebirth then suffer the karmas of being victim, round and round and round rebirth after rebirth driven by karma...
Maybe your thoughts a conditioned from a perception there is such a thing as sin...
I would gladly debate that that sort of thought (sin) indicates a complete ignorance of the true nature of our human experience, which is moving energy.
Talking about long term heavy smokers, as i stated before the department of veterans affairs came out with a storyline veterans should stop smoking, within five months after of a number of veterans took that advice some suffered hardened arteries and died. The department withdrew its advice to quite and offered free nicotine patches. An American Vietnam Vet i was chatting with quite and few months later was rushed to hospital with heart attack, he lived. I can assure you as i have said before, both my parents suffered mild heart attacks after quitting. The doctor in Omeo I'm reliably informed wont advise quitting as risk of serious problems is greater than risk of further damage.
A leak out of the meeting by some smarty pants, out of it all Arbib has now resigned, not quite sure what that means. Don't suppose it'll mean an early i suppose not otherwise he wouldn't have made that move. Arbib i think was behind the knifing. If you heard what was being said by Swan, Gillard and Roxon, and then read posts 159 and 160 in this thread might enlighten...
Looks like the public once again loose, unless of course Australians want a Carbon tax to increase cost of pretty much everything... compensation or not everything will cost more, probably increase the discriminatory tax on non taxable veterans income support payments to...more of the same mate
NICOLA ROXON: Oh look absolutely. I think people can never take away from Kevin that he lead us to victory, defeated a government which was a bad government and that we had not successfully been able to stop at other elections. He can be very proud of the nearly three years of work as a Prime Minister and what he's done in that time.
TONY JONES: I presume you saw Kevin Rudd's press conference today where he openly wept as he spelled out his accomplishments as Prime Minister?
NICOLA ROXON: Yeah, well look it is pretty tough. I mean he has done enormously good work.
I think there will be a lot of people across the country who will be for a long time grateful about the decisions that were made while he was the Prime Minister.
TONY JONES: But how did you feel as a member of his Cabinet, someone who worked very close to him, how did you feel about the fact that for the first time in history a first term Prime Minister was being shafted by his own party?
NICOLA ROXON: I felt sad about that but I can tell you, Tony, what would have been more sad is for us to not give ourselves the best chance at being able to continue the good work that has been started under Kevin Rudd's prime ministership and which we want to be able to continue into the future.
TONY JONES: But what did Kevin Rudd personally do to deserve having the rug pulled out from under him in this manner? In an historical manner?
NICOLA ROXON: Well I don't think that it's just something that Kevin has done. I think it is something that where...
THE federal government could still hold a referendum on hospital reform even if the Senate rejects the idea, Health Minister Nicola Roxon says.
With the federal opposition and some states opposed to Labor's plans to increase Canberra's role in public health funding, the government may have to ask the Senate for permission to hold a referendum on the issue.
Asked what would happen if the upper house of parliament refused, Ms Roxon said a referendum could still be held.
“If the Senate rejects it, there are requirements to wait for a period of time and put it back to the Senate,” the minister told the Nine Network today.
“But if the Senate still rejects a referendum question, the constitution allows a government to put a question even if it is rejected by the Senate.
“Yes, there are some timing constraints about how we do that but it is possible for it to be done.”
Deputy Prime Julia Gillard was meanwhile was pushing the same message saying the option of going to a referendum if agreement with the states could not be secured was a chance.
TREASURER Wayne Swan has gone in to bat for Kevin Rudd, dismissing as "baseless speculation" claims the Prime Minister could be dumped before the election.
Mr Rudd, who is being dogged by dismal opinion polls, kept a low profile yesterday. Instead, fellow Queenslander Mr Swan did a round of interviews to hose down leadership speculation.
Asked if Mr Rudd's hold on the top job was in any danger, Mr Swan said: "Not at all".
Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard has repeatedly denied she wants to topple Mr Rudd, but the speculation frenzy means the Government has no clear air to sell its achievements or regain momentum.
"Julia Gillard is perfectly happy being the Deputy Prime Minister, an excellent Deputy Prime Minister," Mr Swan said.
He said leadership talk was "baseless speculation" but acknowledged "there will be some chatter from time to time but the party is 100 per cent behind Kevin Rudd".
Mr Swan told Sky News: "There is absolutely no way in the world this party's going to be making a call on the leadership prior to this election. I can assure you of that."
Ms Gillard said she had spoken to Mr Rudd about his future and he had confirmed he would run for his seat at the next election. ‘‘Consequently what I have said to Kevin Rudd is I would be absolutely delighted to see him serve as a senior cabinet minister in the team if the government is re-elected,’’ she said.
Asked twice on ABC radio whether he thought there should be a spot in the ministy for his old boss, Mr Swan played a dead bat, saying only that it was a matter for the new prime minister, Julia Gillard. She spoke to Mr Rudd last night but was under pressure not to give him a job, this side of the election at least, because of the obvious tensions that exist.
We are diverted from the failed emissions trading scheme, the mining chiefs propaganda has ceased and Gillard is giggling like a schoolgirl on her first date, as she speaks to the US Ambassador about her phone call with President Barack Obamma. In grief, after shock and disbelief have subsided, pain and regret can surface. Were we too hasty? Will the new be better than the old? What have we lost?
Yeah i think the carbon tax is completely stupid idea, just look at the number of people getting laid off over the past couple of weeks.
Personally i thought Rudd's call to get the people to phone and demand proper representation of the people was a really good idea, also think he hasn't as much dirty linen as a lot of others. Am not impressed with Gillards feminist agenda, she dumped the Attorney General for no other reason than to increase the number of females on her front bench, i think stupidity, silly discrimination
I must say i was rather impressed with Abbott efforts during the last election campaign, while not impressed to his marathon, bike riding, not impressed either with the complete stupidity in accessing an aspect of Chinese terrorist activity or the highly inflated ego he demonstrated when meeting HHDL last year, stood over HHDL like he was a somebody, he is just puffed up clown
I think Abbott is as mad as a cut snake, anybody that rides pushbikes amongst trucks and trailers, buses and sydney traffic is two bobs short of the full quite
