And, lo, a new thread was born; and there did gather several Wise Men, and numerous Wise Women, giving thanks and saying “You have given us a Condemnation Thread, that we may vent. And verily our spleens may then rest awhile. Praise be condemnation now, though that Little Babe yon, may teach us not to condemn, if he fails to take up his Carpentry Apprenticeship with his Dad.” And they spake truth.

Hmmm. We might need another condemnation thread at midnight, I think.

They used to do stuff like this years ago and then when every man and his dog was buying a computer w/windows they decided to make it all seamless – and has been so for quite a few years…now that sales and new customers have dropped off, it’s back to old skool tactics – I suspect a percentage of people will think they have to upgrade their version of office and will do so.

not so much fcukwits as bottom line feeders.

thanks Jo, just did that.

I like to vent first, ask question later.

On the other hand, I applaud Metlink/ Connex for finally growing a brain and allowing commuters to go straight to Flinders St without doing the entire city loop first. Hooray!

I loudly condemn the f*ckwits at Microsoftcock for creating some new version of word (docx) which isn’t compatible with the previous one I have at home.

Jeebus, now Mac is more compatible with PC than PC is.

WHY??? WHY ON EARTH WOULD THIS BE DONE???? YOU COMPLETE IDIOTS!!!

Mental.

I condemn you mean spirited critique JM. Listening to Kaki’s album “Everybody Loves You” JM, she has melody, rhythm and style as well as plenty of evidence of knowing far more than “two notes.”

There is a good argument that tapping (especially when extremely popular during the eighties) was a cliche and often used to cloud musical inability via technique. But when it was on, as in this clip it could be exciting.

For the record, I do not tap (unless playing my stunt axe).

“You can condemn anything you like except Kaki King.”

(Sorry Kim)

God I hate tapping. A lousy technique that just happens to look flash.

How soon can we send this talentless twerp back to her bedroom?

Or is she going to learn more than two notes before then, because if she does I fear for the world as we know it.

Fingernails on a blackboard sound better than this.

Everyone:

I condemn all the well-meaning but naive do-gooders, …. all the hypocritical do-badders …. and, of course, all the land-robber, neo-colonialist, flour-poisoner, child-stealer, black-shooting, closet-racist, transplanted-KKK, boong-haters, pseudo-intellectuals and latter-day-oppressors who knowingly and wilfully use the weasel-word indigenous when they should be using far less offensive words words such as …. Aborigine, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, T.I., Murri, Koori, Australoid, Melanesian, First Australian, Original Australian, or, where known and appropriate, the names [used by Aborigines themselves for themselves and not the ones applied by pastoralists] of specific tribes, clans or bands.

“Aborigine” implies that one is a descendant of those who first came to Australia many many millenia ago and so deserves particular respect and consideration for being just that …. whereas the weasel-word “Indigenous” merely means that one happens to have had grandparents who were been born in Australia and therefore no only deserves NO special respect whatsoever but also does deserves to be cheated, maligned, swindled, lied about, mistreated and abused.

I condemn industry super schemes offering ‘locked in’ punters the chance to play with the big boys in more risky share investments. OK I took the bait and knew what I was doing but getting out has raised my ire. My super fund only moves on punters’ pleas at the beginning of the month and don’t bother trying to do it a la your personal stockbroker – by phone. There has to be a signed form. Watching the market all October waiting for November 1 has been excrutiating, believe me.

The American Revolution blog I visit had recently morphed into some weird religious history thing called American Creation. But it seems to have come back on line again, though it was never really off-line. So I condemn myself for not knowing enough about the sexual history of Colonial/Revolutionary America, or at least as much as I know about the sexual history of Phillip’s Australia and 18th Century England. So I missed out on the opportunity for some fun. Must check Amazon – so far most of the stuff I’ve found is 1600s

I condemn Adobe Flash Player and my inability to find plugins (if I have them in the first place) because they’ve stuffed up YouTube etc on my computer and I have no idea how to fix it.
I should’ve done what the nuns and brothers taught me and just said no.

OK, found the wording of the Amendment (not Bill) and an elucidation of what constitutes a submission.

I also condemn the Victorian government’s new proposed legislation, the “indirect interest” rule. If passed, this means that no local councillor who has ever made a submission on an issue can participate on a vote on that issue. Handy, no? If you’re actually really passionate on a subject, it disqualifies you from making any actual difference on it.

I thought Conflict of Interest actually meant standing to gain a financial benefit from something. The Victorian government must be truly desperate to stymie the growing dissatisfaction with logging, transport and water policies, not to mention inappropriate developments like the St Kilda triangle. (Was that what sparked this woeful legislation?)

I haven’t read the legislation, so submission to what is a bit vague to me. Senate committee? State government?

At any rate, of course, never having seen a developer you didn’t like will continue to be a requirement for voting on council measures, rather than a barrier.

I condemn chardonnay because it’s vile and I condemn Cori Bernardi because he’s a complete wanker and Chris Evans for taking the idiot’s bait hook, line, sinker and copy of the Angling Times.

For God’s sake Mark, tip the douche wash out and have a big, long, cold beer.
Ambigulous, what these poor old reprobates are into would miscarry a whole flock of these silly, woolly frolics!
