BL> My brother had a $600 radar detector and no one offered him
BL> compensation for what was legal when he bought it.
BV> I wonder how many people I could kill with a Radar Detector ?
BL> If you mounted it on a length of 3-by-2 you might get a couple.

Hey. What a great idea. If I were to do that I might get a few other
loonies to copy me and then we could get the government to buy them
back from us.

BV> This Medicare Levy thing has me disturbed too. It sets a
BV> *nasty* precedence and I don't like it one little bit. Of
BV> course this is an ideal time for one of my favorite little
BV> lines...
BV> If I paid taxes, I'd really be pissed.

BL>  ROFL!! I like the way the gun lobby is running in all directions at
BL> once, trying to minimise the new laws and maximise the difficulties.

I couldn't believe one I heard on Radio the other day. This bloke
was some spokeperson being interviewed for the news broadcast and he
actually said that they would start shooting people. Are they really
that fucking stupid or what ? These so called sane, rational,
responsible gun owners are all fucking lunatics that I wouldn't
trust with a stick.

BL> I heard one today say that it wasn't fair to the victims of Port
BL> Arthur... that all this fuss would only upset them. We ought to put
BL> it all behind us and just forget it. GOD! These gunnies are utter
BL> cunts, aren't they? Dead bodies everywhere and they just don't give a
BL> shit!

I honestly can't see what they get from owning a gun of any sort,
let alone one which is only meant to kill people. As for calling it
a "sport" that has got to be a joke.

BL>  And a loony mob in Queesnland (where else?) who want to lead the
BL> revolution against the communist homosexual plot in canberra. This is
BL> real straight-jacket talk! It would be really funny if they didn't have
BL> automatic weapons. ROFL!!! We've flushed them at last. It seems that
BL> anyone with an SLR is crazy... really!

You're not wrong there.

BV> Sadly the inference is not true. I do pay taxes, and I'm pissed!
BL> At least you get something for it.

What do *I* get from it ? Absolutely nothing, that's what.

BL> I've been paying taxes all my life and the only thing I got was a
BL> free Carpel's Tunnel operation...
BL> $1,500 back for something like $300,000 outlaid.

Hey. That's a bargain. It's more than most.

BL>  Jeeze... I just worked it out. I've been working 40 years, I bet $2
BL> million at the races and paid 14% tax = $280,000 (20 years ago when a
BL> dollar was worth ten) plus another $400,000 over 40 years (or more).
BL> Christ! They're into me for $700,000! No wonder they can afford to pay
BL> Paul to write submarine softare.
BL> The least they could do is buy me a rifle.

ROFL...hen you could show them what they are good for :)

Cheers, Brenton
