Only took an hour to carry out risk assessments and equity evaluations, between the Malaysian Air plane landing and the coppers entering the cabin.
The troops managed to subdue the already bound and disabled wannabe bomber and the brass are rightly claiming a victory for the coppers.

Longer, 1:34 as later reported Tisme.

Anyone criticizing Tisme - you try waiting an hour and a half in a landed aeroplane, with a passenger-subdued, probably bomb-toting madman at your feet.

While the keystone coppers mill around rudderless on the tarmac. It's embarrassing for Australia. About as effective as they were at the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place Sydney.

It's not the officers in the field. They are brave beyond description. It's their alleged leaders.

And put him out like he was trash being exported to the USA. Disgusting behaviour and deserves retribution.

If they injected him with botox, they need to be wiped off the planet asap. The use of military force to to prevent extreme cruelty is absolutely justified. Torture has no place anywhere under any circumstances, ever.

George Pell charged with multiple sex offences. Victoria police.

Mate of mine called this 3 months ago, inside knowledge -

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-29/cardinal-george-pell-to-be-charged/8547668

The ABC confirms that it is expected that Cardinal George Pell will be charged with multiple counts of child sex offences today.

George Pell charged with multiple sex offences. Victoria police.

Is it weird that it annoys me that the police officer giving this press conference keeps referring to him as "Cardinal Pell"?

He might be "Cardinal Pell" to the members of his cult, but to the rest of us, and to the government he is just "Mr Pell", It seems to be another case of affording religious folk unearned respect.

If I ever get charged with anything I want the police to refer to me as "Grand duke of the realm of the flying spaghetti monster"

I suppose you could call him "Cardinal alleged Sin" if that makes you feel better.

Maybe it's the same principle as retired generals still being called "General" or retired doctors still being referred to by their titles ?

A General is a part of a government department, being called Dr refers to an academic study you undertook.

But religious titles are just made up Titles from fantasy land, and people tend to pick and choose which cults they will honour the titles for.

I doubt they would respect my position as the "Grand duke of the realm of the flying spaghetti monster"

 

[SirRumpole]

OK so Mr Pell has issued a statement saying he will return to Australia as soon as possible pending medical advice.

 

[MrBurns]

pending medical advice.

Wait for it

pending medical advice.

Wait for it

This song seems appropriate again

Might be too confusing. There is/was an actual Cardinal Sin in the Philippines

They got specialised, medically equipped planes now. Get your azz back here Pell.

To become a priest takes many years of study, and why they get their title.

As I mentioned, Universities started in monasteries.

I thought Universities model themselves on Aristotle's Academia [school?]? Where he taught people to think, question and be annoying little gnat like his teacher Socrates.

The only Academic thing that came out of Monasteries were Mendel's genetics studies. And that's because he got bored of Bible studies

 

[Tink]

We are always learning in here, Luutzu.

I mentioned it in the education thread.

--------------------------------------

Many of the structures and traditions of modern universities trace their origins to the Middle Ages. The modern academic gown, still worn for graduations and other ceremonial occasions, has its origin in the gowns worn by medieval students and most still have a tab on the back which is the vestigial remains of the hoods on late medieval outer garments.

I am sure years of study of your cults teachings means something to members of your cult, but it means nothing to the rest of us.

I mean, should we give special titles to those that have spent years studying tea leaf reading, Big foot or Astrology???

Think about it, has a person that spent 30 years studying Astrology really earned a title? of course not because their entire field of study is fake, so the only people that it means anything to are those people they have tricked into believing their nonsense, same with the Catholic Church charlatans.

Your religion is just as bogus as Astrology.

And the self imposed monastic guy who was bonced by a falling apple.

Notice that it's the non religious concepts that have had the most positive affects on humans society. Even thinking about apples falling from trees proved to be a more effective use of time than reading religious texts.

Tink likes to claim that universities started as religious establishments, But the fact that as they have become less and less religious they have generated more and more high quality science seems lost on her.

It's like we are sitting here talking about how good the modern Jet engine is, and Tink is like "don't forget the Nazi's invented the Jet engine, so that means Mein Kampf is a good book, and we have to respect Nazis"
