"The Circle" can VC recipient.

My brain hurts.

It's less about symmetrical equations or certain objectives and more about the interplay of diverse forces in a homeostatic system.

What is the optimal configuration for the good of everyone?

I'm sure that will help ease your pain

how dare anybody question the patriotic status quo?

Lots Wife?

$1000 for anyone that can tell me what her first name was?

It was something like Eidis, the modern equivalent is probably Edith.

now how about the cash?

I am a bit late on this but it seems that the woman (yumi?) and Negus were just jealous of the the VC soldier. Many people see a ripped bloke and assume he just works out to compensate for other areas. These people are just lazy and/or jealous because of the commitment and discipline it takes to develop such physique. Tall poppy syndrome.

Jealousy is quite often where nasty stuff and sarcasm comes from, good point

I say burn them at the stake!

Speaking of burning at the stake, did you say somewhere you're currently taking time off from uni? WTF?

No doubt there's some petty truth in that and I reckon both your posts represent a very normal level of indignation.

The point I've been trying to make here is that, in contrast, using a mob to damage someone financially or to threaten their safety is clearly an abnormal and dangerous level of indignation.

This is a perfect illustration of the point that it's all about the type and intensity of reaction, not the view per se.

The vocal minority are well and truly getting their way here, by the sounds of things. Bitch long and hard enough (on Facebook!) and the corporates will cave in eventually. Does anyone actually want The Circle pulled off air over this? What sort of precedent does that set?

Well if they can get Bolt taken off in a 2 for 1 deal I'd be happy.
What do you think of the richest woman in Australia being able to put on her own show simply because of the political slant of the commentator? I would feel happier if it were compelled to have "paid political announcement" before and after.

And....

They attempted to have Bolt's programs closed in the early stages but failed. How muck power do you want to give a bunch of left wing keyboard warriors.

Free speech does exist in this country (for the moment in some form) and if you do not like what someone is saying then simply change channels.

Thanks and you are a delightful person too. Spare some change?

sorry mate, trick question.
the book doesn't mention her name.

(it may hav been in the first draft, the one where God created the world 13.27 billions years ago).

Unless it involves war heroes, of course. In that case, the show ought to be hounded off-air forthwith!

David, the issue is not with the fact they got into a VC winner, it is because of the less than sincere apologies.
The sheila basically said that she was sorry for what she said because "I didn't know that the reaction would be so violent", and then turned the apology into a tearful announcement of her engagement.
Negus said ""I apologized to him by phone but I get the feeling he didn't think I needed to".
Well George, most of us think you have a small penis which has never bought a woman to orgasm.
No apology from me because I think you reckon I don't need to.

That part had me completely confused. WTF did that have to do with it? She has a boyfriend, in fact he's a fiancee. So? WTF was she trying to prove?

Agreed. Dumb comments, say sorry, admit it was a dumb comment, move on. Trying to spin it backfired on them and if all the advertisers pull stumps and the show is cancelled, FTA morning TV just got a fraction more intellectual.

The addition of another trivial annoying thing changes nothing. Annoying knobs versus damaging mob; the difference is plainly obvious. An exchange of harsh words is usually the end of it for normal adults - right or left.

I doubt he'd care or be particularly interested in receiving one.

I have no interest in whether or not Stynes or Negus sounded sincere during their public apologies. Sure, Stynes' justification sounds inane (although George's sounded pretty reasonable from what I heard), but it's kind of irrelevant anyway - I hate public apologies in general. They're a purely PR-based thing, and it's the whole PR situation that really stinks about this case. It's just absurd. They apologised to Ben privately; surely that's case closed. A public apology is, essentially, an apology to the people of Australia, and I don't think we require one.
