I just got a whole post deleted : (
I agree Andrew that none of us have any facts but it seems to me that all Rawiri Taonui is doing is suggesting alternative explainations to the "Military Style Training Camps!" "Molotov Cocktails!" headlines.
... I bet I could find you something more inflammatory from Michael Laws every Sunday. I personally don't find that an obnoxious thing to say.
Pretty much. I did find the 737s quip funny and maybe that is a matter of taste. I have been enjoying his columns, there are many things in life that I don't feel qualified enough to have set in stone opinion about and I enjoy his strong perspective. (Don't worry I am not getting all post-modern wishy washy on your arse I just don't see what makes him so radical).

Universities should be places for intense and vigourous debate. Critic and conscience and all that. Of course academia is primarily a matter of facts and objectivity, but many matters are debatable.
If you have a problem with his point of view go into detail, don't just make snide comments about how his leather jacket intimidates you. I for one don't think he is talking out of his arse. In fact this perspective provides some balance because in any case we don't know what the truth of this situation is yet. -
Amusingly enough, sites that are banned (Wired - it's "entertainment") can be freely viewed via an RSS reader, including Google Reader. Any chance of getting full RSS feeds of PA content? It's a pain being "counselled" every time I come here (and I must say that partial "teaser" RSS feeds irk me - you can plonk your advertising in as post footers or whatever).
Hey, don't announce that or someone will start blocking google reader as well as my bloody gmail ; )

Stephen. I think there are reasonable and well written views here. But Iraq is a case in point where views are so incredibly mired in philosphy, whether they be religious or political.
Which is why you debate said views. You don't just claim that people with the opposite view are simply wedded to their view.
Of course it is sad, and very serious. Everyone being pretty unsettled would be a good thing in my view. -
Hippy, lippy, snippy, dippy; see right round to the humus again...

Sigh, hippie.

Re: Tau's press release

it is better to play an away game than a home game
What a revolting use of sports metaphor. Kind of makes you understand people wanting to play for the other team.

This from the article about FEMA:
Fema official regrets fake press conference
On Monday the stunt cost a Fema official his job. John Philbin, who planned to leave Fema anyway to become press officer for the director of national intelligence, told CBS television he regretted the charade. "I should have cancelled it quickly. I did not have good situational awareness of what was happening," he said.
You couldn't make this shit up. I must remember to use that one myself. "I did not have good situational awareness of what was happening."

Oh Kyle, you flushed me out with your mention of pompoms. I am sure that could not have been accidental. The 50 cents yours.
Can I just say even if James does bring his pompoms, the PAS Women's XV will not be playing an away game in Iraq any time soon.
