Eeeek, this thread seems to have gone mad. Anti-"religion" oozing out of every other keyboard and pore and to compound that (on the subject of poor), we've now apparently got money being thrown at a new hopeless cause.
Which, come to think of it, is somewhat ironic considering the charge being levelled at ILCF being an alleged waste of money !
Oh well. Prolly silly to be part of this topic ATM – maybe I'll return to it when it becomes a little more sensible.
To paraphrase one Captain Oates, "I am just going offline and may be some time."

The Morally Vetted Internet Experience that tools like you 'approve' of for the rest of the plebeans, less able to discern the moral high ground? ...
(etc, etc, etc)
Wanna lighten up on the ad-hominem, thanks ? You really don't have to be taking alternative opinions to yours on ILCF so personally and it does none of us any favours to try and take your own obvious dissatisfaction re: the ILCF trials, out on me.
I've stayed out of the thread dedicated specifically to the support of preventing ILCF, for I have no right to be there because of my contrary view point, but I would thank you to lay off with the abuse and lazy appeals to "trolling" directed my way, for I have just as much right to my opinion and presense in this particular thread as you do, regardless of how much we may disagree with each other's chosen stance. Cheers.

I do have to question derspatz's bona fides – mate – why do you hide? Notice all of us here have our whims turned on. Except you.
Already explained at my blog (which doesn't have comments turned on either – nor do I log/track/sitemeter visitors). I have neither the time nor interest in exchanging private messages here or on any other forum or blog and in fact I barely even use email or the telephone for anything other than taking care of business.
I am known to leave the odd comment or message on other folk's blogs and web pages on rare occasions, but even then I prefer that things said are deemed public domain.
I don't respond to "friend" invites on my "facile book" and "my spaz" accounts, either – I've already got all the friends I want and barely communicate with them in the offline world (let alone online one) anyway.
Private implies confidential and I'm not interested in keeping confidences or having people making inaccurate claims about me based on private exchanges, or leaving avenues open by which cowardly anonymous abuse and threats or stalking like behaviour can easily occur.
In over 20 years of online communications, I have never been the fan of (nor encouraged) recreational private communications where I could get away with it being public. That isn't about to change any time soon.
Suggesting that by only partaking in public conversations is somehow "hiding" has got me scratching my head though. Heck, my blog link is up there on the left and it links through to heaps of personal information (including my full real name), yet I only know the real names of two people in this forum (richary and -mark) and that is only because we go back near 20 years to a time of online communications that preceded the proliferation of the web.
Anyway, if you've got something to say to me, then say it so that the public record can remain proof of it, and I'll return the same decency. Cheers.
If you can't say it in the foum then it probably shouldn't be said, hmmm ?

Heh. Nice one centurion.
They also serve to feed the paranoid their daily conspiracy.

You do realise Rabbi Daniel Lapin was also quoting Hitler?
For one line that preceeds the quote being mis-attributed in these forums. Rabbi Daniel Lapin wrote it whilst writing a pamplet as if he was Hitler.
The full article can be found here: http://www.aapsonline.org/brochures/lapin.htm and the relevant bit reads: "Finally, dear Julius, you will remember what I frequently said and wrote in Mein Kampf: "The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people." I explained that as long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation. It is truly heartwarming to see how well this lesson has been learned by the American government. In the name of children, incursions into the private lives of American citizens have been made that we Nazis would have gazed at with open-mouthed admiration. Does it matter that our bodies failed as long as our spirit still triumphs?"
I just thought I should mention this in case anyone is choosing to use the soundbite quote in any fliers to give out at fairs or for letter-drops.
Tis important to have the details as accurate and correct as possible and beyond reproach when pushing a particular line, yes ?
