Releasing a dog of unknown temperament, unknown condition of health, unattended and no lease sounds irresponsible to me.

A call to the RSPCA may have been a kinder action.

I used to pet the dog through the fence. Sad, sad creature it was, owned by a macho Neanderthal who had put up a big hand-written notice saying 'Beware of the Dog'.

The dog looked horse-whipped. It wasn't unhealthy in appearance, but very cowered.

Someone actually tore a gap in the fence to let the poor creature out ~ or took it away for himself. I hope so.

There's little hope that our courts will punish people who are cruel to their pets. Twice in recent weeks I've read the court ban people found guilty of mistreatment of their dog, from acquiring another dog for two years instead of for life.

This is what happens when you get 'liberal-progressives' in positions of power. Mustn't be seen to be 'punitive'. That's fascist, red-neck, and morally regressive.

Forgiveness, tolerance, paternalism ~ and to hell with the fate of the next dog.

RACISM?

Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days.

A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausages?"



         The assistant asks, "Are you Irish?"

         The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am, but let me ask you something...

         If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?

         Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?

         Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?

         Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?

         Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?"

         The assistant says, "No, I probably wouldn't."

         The guy says, "Well then, just because I asked for Irish sausage, why
         did you ask me if I'm Irish?"

         The assistant replied, "Because you're at Bunnings."

Hey I'm Irish and I find that hilarious, which is probably why I've been asked time and time again by complete strangers if I'm Irish, and have rarely observed any similar openness to other ethnicities; because everyone knows how tolerant and what a sense of humour the Irish have. Wink

Did you know that you are impoverishing yourself with those kinds of thoughts? I think we both know you deserve a better than that.

This news

Vietnamese student bashed within an inch of his life, then getting deported mid recovery.

Minh's visa has been reinstated and he'll be returning to Australia on Friday. It's all thanks to you and 89,000 others who signed the petition. Thank you so much.

When Minh's visa was cancelled, mid-recovery from being bashed by neo-nazis and with a year left to finish his degree – I was devastated for him. I didn't know if Minh would ever be able to return. They gave him a 3-year ban.

But that's all changed now. I started this petition on change.org out of desperation, and thousands of you helped. 89,000 of you. It's incredible. And with coverage in The Age, ABC's 7.30, Herald Sun, – Scott Morrison was forced to respond on national TV.

That's when it all turned around. Consular officials started helping Minh, we got pro-bono legal help from migration lawyer David Bongiorno – and late on Friday evening we got word that his visa has been re-instated.

Are you going to help the white kid that's in a serious condition after being stabbed by a African street gang?

Irrelevant. Nice try at throwing-off, though.

I'm sure it's going to put financial stress on the family. Slap together a couple of hundred with your mates and pass it on. You obviously have an interest in race hate violence.
