Well Mark, Tim probably also needs the teachings of a great mind …

Me to Mark, I’ll see you at Tim’s place, where good taste is the norm.

Glad we’re on the same wavelength regarding free speech and freedom of expression, steve.

Just read some Andrea Harris stories, very nice. Thanks again, for the advice Mark, you are opening a great new world for me. I am filled with joy. Also, read the Mirko story. I fully agree with him: Men, women and piggy banks have the right to wear headscarfs when they want and where they want. If we ban the headscarf, the next move may be a ban on the piggy bank or even worse a banning of Tim’s place …

Tim��s world is wondrous, all opinions seem to be acceptable there

Wait til you meet Andrea Harris, steve!

As to great intellectuals, it’s well known that there’s only one great intellectual and dear leader in the blogosphere, the Divine Professor of Law at Deakin. Perhaps Mirko doubles as agony aunt when not writing op/eds?

Thank you so much Mark. Tim’s world is wondrous, all opinions seem to be acceptable there. Freedom of expression fills a simple proletarian guy, like me, with joy. I am sorry to hear that I can’t get more wonderful advice for free. Unfortunately, I already raided my piggy bank last Friday (got drunk at me local pub), so I probably won’t be able to pay your fees. However, I do think you should give me your advice for free. Mark, it is the duty of great intellectuals like you to teach simple guys like me. You have to do this, for society and most of all for Tim’s place. Almost forgot, I really enjoyed you’re little joke about the small t for tim’s place, excellent pun …

steve, here’s where you can find tim and all his wondrous works. As I’m not paid to be your financial advisor/career counsellor/life coach or whatever, I’ll charge a fee for future advice. There’s no such thing as a free lunch you know. Better go check your piggy bank.

Mark: Where is Tim’s place? I would really like to go there. Any other advice on what I should do, like when is something within reason and not harming others and when something is as naughty as a piggy bank? Please share some more of your great advise …

steve lower case troll steve! That’s why I put the ’s’ in lower case!

As to ed, people can do what they like in a free society within reason and without harming others, but a blog is not a free society.

Just differentiatin…

I’m sure if small s steve wants to go round to small t tim’s place, his comment will be applauded as the height of wit.

Go where you get lauded, I say!

Just advisin…

Err, which Steve were you refering to? steve lower case was not I and I think a troll for real! I’ll have to change my login name to my full name to avoid this confusion in the future. Or perhaps I missed the sarcasm. Damn common names.

Mark, you’re right, sarcasm is almost as tastless as piggy banks … Do you have any other suggestion on what people are allowed to do and what they shouldn’t do in a free society?

You need to be a little less sarcastic or people might think you were trolling…

I fully agree with dk.au, capitalism is to be blamed for all of this and for anything else that has gone wrong, is going wrong or will go wrong on our planet. If there is life on other planets and anything goes wrong there, I am absolutely sure that it is also due to capitalism. I wish the UK was a communist society, without banks and other filthy capitalist institutions aimed solely at exploiting the poor and starving working class. In a ideal society, like for example, North Korea these types of injustices do not occur.

Don’t be so naive dk the piggy bank is a cornerstone institution of western civilization and the errosion of our right to bear piggy banks is sign of the corrupt decadence of the EU.

The piggy bank issue is just a farce, a storm in a tea-cup, and most importantly a marketing exercise by banks. Where’s the condemnation of capitalism CL? I’m disappointed.

The caricatures of Muslims deeply offended by these artifacts, whose origins don’t even lie with the animals are utterly childish and offensive.

Piggy banks not allowed in the UK: I totally agree. People shouldn’t save money like greedy pigs. Instead they should donate it to Mosques so that their savings can be transferred to our great terrorist friends. All filthy pork eaters in the west must be punished. One problem, how will I tell my kid who is very much attached to his piggy bank called Osama bin Laden. I don’t want to be a pig and take away a child’s toy … What a dillema …
