Three truths and A Lie..Now the truth

OK , here it is the winner is Jamie I am shocked that anyone could consider that I would have told a Federal MP to FO (snigger,snigger snigger). No folks,unfortunately most of the contact I had with MP's was work related and although I had much cause and many opportunities to tell them where to go...I DID NOT!!!

1. Yes, I did extra subjects in Year 12 (it took 14 months to get the then VISE approval)and wanted to study vet science but hated maths and had mastered physics, biology, etc much to surprise of the teachers who thought it implausible any one could apply a maths solution without a Math 1 or 2 background. So I did English, Literature, European History, Legal Studies, Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Drama. And they still wouldn't let me into study vet science even with a score of over 380. The count used was first four subject scores added and 10% of others.

2. Yes, I have impersonated a police officer. I was 19, at uni and was driving home from uni and inadvertently got stuck on a left hand turn /straight ahead lane at a set of lights, sat there as I was going straight ahead, with the guy behind beeping and gesturing to the point I thought he'd have a seizure. I was on "P" plates (probationary license) and was not going to go through against the lights. Lights change, I travel on and Mr "Bust a Blood Vessel" follows me in his Mercedes (see I remember all) When I stopped at shops near home I realise he was still there, I got out to go to the shops and Mr Bombastic approaches bellowing fit to bust a gut. This guy had followed me over 15 kms in order to vent his tiny mind!!!! After he kept yelling, "what have you to say for yourself??" I told him I was sorry but he could have turned when the lights changed, he just kept going and going, So I told him to "shut up, buzz off cause I was a cop". So there you go...Next thing I know, four hours later, there is a knock on the door at home and my dads friend Ben is there (Snr Sgt at the local copshop) Mr Mercedes has gone and complained; not about me saying I was a cop...But about the BEHAVIOR of the cop who was in the wrong lane LMAO. Remember I was 19, dressed..Let's call it Army Surplus grunge...And at the time had pink hair...This guy actually believed me. So after a "talking to" from Uncle Ben, all was forgotten. The guy was a wanker anyway, words of Snr Sgt Ben not me.

3. I DID fail my learners FOUR times....The learners was a written test with questions like "who do you give way to if you are car A" together with a diagram, and road signs where you had to write what you had to do when you approached them. There was one easy as pie test every one wanted to get but they are given out randomly. Being naturally left handed but having that forced out of me at school..I have trouble setting a table, let alone working out left from right in an abstract model like on paper( no, I cannot read road maps either without them facing the direction of travel)so I failed the test four times because I could never work out who gave way to whom. Don't worry though, it works when am behind the wheel of a car. *hehehehehehe*

So there you are.

Three Truths and A Lie

Can't help myself really ;I cannot; with these little jaunts into my life via various medians. Got this from Jamies NEW, IMPROVED Blog and thought it sounded like fun. I will give you three statements about me and you have to choose which is a lie.
1) I completed my final year of high school with excess of the usual 5 subject load permitted
2) I have impersonated a police officer
3) I failed my learners permit 4 times (written format)
4) I once told a federal politician, to his face, to "F&%$ Off"

So people, your choice, which is the lie. Please feel free to explain why you think it is a lie, I'd be interested. I will announce the lie tomorrow and explain the rest for the curious. Until then, don't forget to change your undies. LMAO..God ,I'm in a funny mood today..Watch out!!!

The Word According to ???????????

The Courts, long though they be established and steep in Law...Are wrong,
The judiciary, except for the ones still living in the 17th century, and despite the fact they they are considered by the rest of mainstream society to be learned enough to be given the position..Are even more wrong,
"Socialist bleeding hearts like Fr Norden" are wrong, wrong, wrong for believing what his Church and God taught him and believing there is good to be found in everyone. He is a Socialist because I say so, a bleeding heart because he cares for those I don't care about.
Any one who has ever done any thing wrong, does not deserve a second chance..Because I say so.
People who question what I say, on an intellectual level...Do not deserve my glorious response and they are wrong too.
Any one accused of anything is guilty; even before a trial ;because they are wrong and I am right,
Any one convicted of anything never serves enough time in prison and has no rights in society because I say so,
Any one who I say should be punished by capital punishment, should be, because I am right and they are WRONG,
Any one who disagrees with my ideals is wrong or a caviar communist or a socialist bleeding heart or a leftie commie calathumpian or all of the above and is wrong also
Any one convicted of a crime is a cretin, so sayeth me
For I am ????????, the man with no mates, accuser of the innocent, savior to the redneck,and model for the downfall of human rights.
I am the word , the tosser and the politically defunct.
(Amen is not allowed as that implies religious belief )

Hysteria, Mobs and other Manic Afflictions

I have to wonder about the mentality of some folks, I really ,really do. Given that this subject has been taken up by various other local blogs such as Not the 6 O' Clock News I just had to vent my spleen on the matter instead of continuing a ongoing commentary in the comments of other blogs. The situation being that a convicted pedophile was apparently in Sunbury some time ago visiting his family, he has been paroled and is under parole conditions. I cannot condone nor understand the actions, drives or mindset of such people but he served his time and was paroled, albeit he committed the crimes in another state and came to our town to visit family..He was here a few days. Enter the great white knight of the people, JAKAS (Jack Also Known As Steve) Medcraft: local COUNCIL representative and self appointed advocate of all he believes to be wrong with the world ( the Word According to JAKAS). Any way one thing lead to another and a mob developed out side the home of this persons family and he was not even there!!!! The people who were there were local and took their children there also...Now let me get this straight, you are concerned for the welfare of your children, you take them to the house where there is no pedophile, to witness verbal abuse and mob mentality of the family who live there who left with crying and distraught children...This taught your children what exactly?? That dad is a YOBBO???

Given that the whereabouts of the parolee would have been known to the police as parole conditions would have been such that he would have had to report to them...I doubt the police would not have been checking the whereabouts of the parolee. I do not think that they would have given out the address as it would have been contary to the Privacy Act and endangering the lives of the occupants, plus would have caused the police to have to watch out for this KKK style rally which was insidiously organised.

I cannot understand the ideals of such people, as the sister of someone who was sexually abused, I know for a fact that victims want to forget the past as much as possible; closure comes with the incarceration of the perpetrator. This sort of action does nothing for the victim and they rarely , if ever ,attend such gatherings. The ideal that they are doing it for the victim is a furphy as the victims in this case are not local nor even in the SAME STATE!!! Protecting your children, from what ...a 70 plus year old man worn down by years in prison with the label of "rock spider" who would have spent most of his time in lock down security for his own protection, from an old man whose every move would have been monitored by family and police..Oh, yes and the Bogeyman lives under your bed too , I bet.

Victims do not want nor need the sort of vigilante style protest as demonstrated in our town on Sunday, I do not want my town associated with the term "red neck", I do not expect my locally elected officials to undertake my "protection" in this or any other manner like this, I do not want nor need the dangerous, insidious, underhanded fears of a self appointed white knight to speak for me or mine. I was bought up to believe that forgiveness is divine and if the victims are able to move on from this , who are we to undertake their so called cause for our own perceived publicity gains?
