Not really related to Rudd though, more related to the fact that Indians are getting murdered too frequently in Australian cities.
Don't think he's a great appointment, we only just got rid of him running the country for ****'s sake. Now he's going to be in charge of something else I like.

Not sure if Howard's tactics were rascist, as such; more xenophobic, playing on the fear of the unknown. I don't think that makes them any better, BTW.

Liberal voters. Can lead them to water but can't make them think ...
Some idiot, maybe you, claimed that Howard was more qualified for the ICC position than the NZ candidate because he ran a whole country.
So said idiot had created the theory that running big things = more qualified.
I took that one step further to show that with this theory George W. Bush, who ran the worlds biggest economy and 3rd largest population and sole super power for 8 years, would be qualified to run anything in the world and more qualified than Howard to run the ICC.
So I was trying to show, not in a subtle way either (though obviously too subtle for you) was that the theory that running something big automatically does NOT qualify you to be head of something totally different, even if that company/organisation is smaller.
Maybe I should have put it in Alan Jones/Steve Price/Ray Hadley/Murdoch newspaper language so you could understand it?

All right guys - whether you like or dislike Howard, please be civil towards each other.

Oh mate, too good. I like your criticism of my intelligence though. I'm extremely hurt 
Moron. I understood your comparison but not only was it poorly expressed and thought out, it was simply a poor choice. Yes, we're all aware George W Bush was the American President, and arguably, well most likely, one of the worst. We're also well aware that he welded an enormous amount of power. This doesn't mean a fair comparison can be made to Howard as he has obviously been chosen for a set of completely different reasons other than simply once holding power in public office, or rather, the amount of power he once held which simply has nothing to do it. Presumably.he has been nominated based upon his political skills, not the control of power he once had.
Oh, and by the way, I'm not a liberal voter or a voter dedicated to the agenda of any one specific party. So shut the **** up before you make any assumptions about any political bias I may hold. As to whether he will be a good or made choice, we'll only have to wait and find out.

What kind of moderating is this? Just after a big CW family bonding session on stricter moderation of forum posts you just say this?
(Still love you SS. I'm just venting)

You completely ignored what I said the post after I told everyone to cut it out.....

Any more and we'll have to start warning people or taking harsher action.

That's good cause no one would ask.This place lacks a mod with iron balls. Before anyone asks, no, I am not interested.

Looks like NZ are the muppets, they have nominated Howard and dumped Anderson.

Any news in NZ on why they decided to back Howard and discard Anderson.
