Impotent Abbott

[mantra]

Abbott could walk down the street naked for all that I'd care or notice, but it is the sensitivities of others that I draw your attention to. It is not appropriate for an ageing man to walk down a public street in a pair of saggy, worn out old speedos. It could almost fall into the category of indecent exposure. Think of the children.

If anybody should be embarrassed it is them, not you or others seeing them. They don't look embarrassed to me. Look at their faces if looking at their speedos sends you into a tizz.

Do you get embarrassed watching the Ballet, Mantra? Those tights are a little "revealing", don't you think?

I don't mind ballet tights on muscular young men, but you don't see them in their dotage displaying themselves outside of their environment.

Abbott's face is as unpleasant as his thinly disguised nether regions, but it's not PC to complain about a person's facial features.

The pic was taken almost 3 years ago in an area where it's commonplace to see half naked men AND women

Everyone who competes in water sports can't have their car parked several strides from the water can they?

If he had a driver waiting to pick him up on the beach he would be criticised for that too. Whilst I don't find speedos appealing at all it has always been the Aussie way. Nothing new really

Well we all know who mantra's not voting for because she doesn't like his speedos.

No need for the personal insults Rorschach. Attack the content - not the poster.

I was commenting on your comments mantra.

Your biased unreasoning emotive claptrap.

Do lifesavers wear boardies now?

OK. I thought it was his display of the "crown jewels" in the budgie smugglers that upset you. It is obviously the fact that he is older than 25?

What is your opinion of females over 25 who wear a bikini on a beach? Are they also being "rude"?

Abbott's face is as unpleasant as his thinly disguised nether regions, but it's not PC to complain about a person's facial features.

OIC, this is all about somebody's "looks". You are perfect, of course! So ... if Tony Abbott looked like (some Hollywood Actor) you wouldn't mind looking at his "crown jewels"?

Can you see where this is going, Mantra?

I don't like making these petty posts about Abbott's appearance, but there's a point to be made. There are too many personal attacks on Gillard in relation to her looks, fertility, love life, backside, voice etc.

[Aussie]

And you have made your point quite aptly.

It's wrong... but I'll do it anyway cries mantra.

2 wrongs do not make a right.

The only point you made is that LW Progs will do anything, say anything, in order to denigrate someone who dissents from their pov.

You made yourself as bad if not worse than those you disapproved of.

[Aussie]

Yet, you made not a murmur of dislike in this thread even though you posted in it.

[Rorschach]

Why would I participate in it in any meaningful sense if I thought it lacked any credibility and wasn't a serious topic?
I replied to mantras because I give her more credence than people I don't know and who have shown me they are not serious about politics.

Ever heard... don't feed the troll? Or starve them of oxygen. If no one read it or replied it'd sink to the bottom of the index. I'm happy to ignore it. As I'm happy now to leave this one to sink. I hardly think my comment in the other was a positive critique. In fact it was just the opposite.
