Beijing Propaganda 2008

The US are typically going around pointing the finger at everyone for human-rights abuses, when the US has a dismal human-rights record.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said, and very nicely, I thought,

"…that the U.S. desist from posing as a 'defender of human rights' and pay more attention to the United States' own human rights record. Stop exercising double standards in human rights issues and wrongly meddling in the internal affairs of other countries."

But then on the other side of things, China does have a terrible human-rights record and is complaining that people stop critizing them pre-Olympic games.

I agree criticism is not helpful, but my main complaint is why has this murderous regime in China been allowed to host the Olympics in the first place? Oh, I forgot, a lot of 'greasing' goes on when bidding to get the games in your country. Silly me.

THOMAS JAMES ANTHONY WILSON, an ex-Queensland cop, who had over 8000 child porn images on his computer has been sentenced to an 18 month suspended sentence!

The FBI back in 2003, in a raid in New Jersey, found a list of internet customer details who subscribed to pornography and Wilson was on the list. Australian police discovered 8742 child porn images on Wilson's computer, when they raided his house back in 2006.

The Brisbane court was told that…

"Wilson did not deliberately seek out child pornography and that the majority of the images had been accessed incidentally."

When you download a couple of images, you could say it was not deliberate, but saying that downloading over 8000 images was not deliberate is an attack on ones intelligence. Who are they kidding? Well, I suppose the court believed this load of crap. Says a lot about the judges and the judicial system in Australia.

In the controversial endeavour to close off the Mexican border with the "Wall of Steel" pushes ahead.

Despite some set backs, the US are going ahead with the construction of a wall to try to curb illegal immigrants and drugs.

If history has taught us anything, it is that walls isolate a nation and simply don't work. The Bush government are just showing their ignorance by building this monstrosity. It also demonstrates their lack of intelligence and compassion.

It is a shame that the US is run by George Bush, voted the Worst President in America's history, who has repeatedly shown his ignorance and stupidity. This wall is yet another blemish of the Bush administration.

Royal Family Posing

The inquest into the never-ending saga of the death of Princess Diana, has exempted the Queen and Prince Philip.

But this is not a story on the inquest, but a story about the Royalty myth. Royals believe they are better than the rest of us. I am not just pointing the finger at the British fiasco, but to all those who call themselves royals throughout the world.

Somewhere in history, someone has thought that they were better than everyone else. They then would of thought because they were 'special' that they needed to be honoured. Eventually, as time and delusion passed, someone made papers, similar to a dogs pedigree, to confirm the delusion and thus creating the fantasy of a 'Royal'.

Yet, it is not entirely the 'Royals' fault, but society at large for allowing this inherent fallacy to live on. It is heartbreaking to see people pandering to the deluded and agreeing to their title of 'I am better than you' theory. I shudder every time these deluded souls are given preferential treatment and/or are pandered to by the equally deluded servants.

An Aussie guy has taken a new Honda Accord on a 2,000 mile test drive! Tennant Creek police, in the Northern Territory, arrested the suspect at a road block for not paying for his fuel.

The guy has taken the car from a Melbourne Honda dealership and drove to Adelaide to Alice Springs. The Down Under cops are reporting that this maybe Australia's longest test drive.

"He seemed like a legitimate gentleman," Melbourne Honda dealership owner, Ian McKenzie said.
