God my prime minister is smug.

[Bugatti4evr]

"The tonality of this debate."

Just another blatant example of Ruddy using wordy language to daze, confuse, impress and divert. In this case, his use of the word "tonality" is incorrect. I fear that giving him access to a dictionary to prove his folly would only exacerbate his prolixity.

[YodatheJedi12]

Sheesh. Kevin Rudd just spent a long time speaking just to say "I'm not going to answer your question."

[11tigers]

@Bugatti4evr Tonality means the arrangement of chords, right? Perhaps he's using this as an analogy for the multiple layers of debate ie. different arguments?

[jimmybillabong]

Stop being an apologist. It is simply mad that you think a dude above is telling you what to do. Its an illusion Kevin. You can't be taken seriously as you've been so indoctrinated. Australians want rational religion-free-non-faith based leaders who are a able to sift the shit from the clay.

@germanicelt

I'm not saying christianity is worse overall (i dislike you all equally :P), but going back over the years, christianity has done some truly terrible things. you need look no further than the crusades.

The aim of western idealogies is to more or less make tonnes of cash. And they do that by promoting globalisation, which in turn promotes multi-culturalism. Hence the western global thing.

As for that last one, i'm not dignifying that with an aswer.

[tomkkkkk]

MUSLIMS FUCK OFF... it really is that simple And dont play the racist card on me you smug hippy cunts. Muslims are dirty pedo worshiping CUNTS simple.

[qwertyness4]

...weak

[germanicelt]

@fantem.....If racism ran Australia, there would be only white people here. Go back to a Muslim country , cause you people can't have everything you want in another peoples nation even though you believe it's your right.

[germanicelt]

@hammerfyll.....Oh please tell me how Christianity is WAAAAAAY worse than Islam. I'm dying to hear this.

You just made yourself look like the fool by saying a western nation is a global nation. I'm dying to hear how you would rationalize this one too.

You may be a resident of Australia, but it sounds that you are by no means a true Australian citizen.

[hammerfyll]

@germanicelt Yeah. You tool. You do realise that, if we're going to talk about ye old days, Christianity is WAAAAAAY worse than Islam. Right? You realise that, right?

No? Then don't make false statements

And bout the whole WESTERN thing. What you just said is both insulting and a contradiction. The whole idea off a WESTERN nation is that it IS a GLOBAL nation. You just made yourself look like a fool. Congrats

@demonicx7 technically speaking, the term racism is a misnomer. race is a general name for a specific creature or being. We as a whole are the Human Race. Dogs as a whole are the Canine Race. To call a black/coloured person a race is incorrect. Caucasion, Hessian, Hispanic, Asian; all of these are SPECIES, which is defind as a variation of the general RACE. There are ... many different SPECIES of shar, dog etc.

Sorry for my ranting, but it's a common error that really gets on my nerves.
