Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note #145,321 —- Friendship Is Not The Same As Mateship.
The entire idea of a friend or at least the word friend, has been totally debased and diluted in recent years by the schmaltzy, saccharine and insincere American use of “friend” by Facebook to describe people you maybe connected with via technology but many of which you may barely know or in fact hold in contempt and have difficulty tolerating.
Europe — One Very Large Cauldron Of Boiling Frogs
Apart from the irregularities during the election campaign and at the voting booth, the arrival of these “foreign nationalist” parties shows that large parts of the European immigrant communities have different opinions on matters of state as compared to their non-immigrant neighbors. In Austria, the defense ministry discovered that Austrian soldiers have illegally retained their Turkish nationality after enlisting. How many of these soldiers of dubious loyalty are active members of the Army is unknown.
Why Are We Cold On The Idea Of Nuclear Fission — Adam Creighton, The Australian
As of last year, 30 countries operated 450 nuclear reactors for electricity generation and 60 nuclear plants were under construction in 15 countries, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute. That includes 20 in China and the giant Hinkley nuclear station that’s been commissioned by the UK government. But the interminable slanging over coal and gas on the one hand, and solar and wind on the other, takes place with no mention of our vast uranium reserves.
Lunatic Alert — We should be happy that she’s not going to breed
Can I reconcile my care and concern for the future with such an active and deliberate pursuit of a child? Put simply, I can’t. Nowadays, the pitter-patter of tiny feet is inevitably the pitter-patter of giant carbon footprints

PC rubbish an affront to Kokoda Veterans — Miranda Devine, Daily Telegraph
You'd expect this to be front page in the Tele and right across all media. You'd expect the Prime Minister to be all over the media this morning saying in effect that "..my instructions to the department will be that this is to be reversed with immediate effect.." No...
A Repost From August 2016 On Bill Leak
Random Note #195,631 — Bill Leak
Thinking more about Bill Leaks cartoon and the cartoons of others down through the years reminds me of various teachers of a bygone era who would grab students by the shoulders and momentarily shake them. The idea was to get their attention. To get them to wake up, focus and concentrate. The lazy left are the attention deficient disorder students at the back of the national classroom and similarly deserve a metaphorical shake up, slap about and wake up by way of a simple image to get them to concentrate and focus instead of mentally goofing off and gazing out the window imagining a dreamtime cultural nirvana with images of the noble savage dancing in their heads.
Random Note #178,531 — Comedy and Rules for Radicals
