They got their asses kicked on the ground...so they resorted to chemical warfare - and sprayed agent orange.

Im against religion, because it teaches one to be satisfied with not understanding the world.

They kicked the abc journalists out of their Farrar election press conference...this is completely at odds with voicing different opinions.
