An Australian journalist wants climate change deniers forcibly tattooed, so in twenty years our grandchildren will see what boneheads we were. Remember these are the same guys who confiscated everyone's semi automatic weapons ten years ago.

His carbon tax angle reminds me of this joke email:
Dear Mom and Dad,
It has now been three months since I left for college. I have been remiss in writing this and I am very sorry for my thoughtlessness in not having written before. I will bring you up to date now, but, before you read on, please sit down.
YOU ARE NOT TO READ ANY FURTHER UNLESS YOU ARE SITTING DOWN, OKAY?
Well then, I am getting along pretty well now. The skull fracture and the concussion I got when I jumped out of the window of my dormitory when it caught fire shortly after my arrival are pretty well healed now. Fortunately, the fire in the dormitory and my jump were witnessed by an attendant at the gas station near the dorm. He was the one who called the fire department and the ambulance. He also visited me at the hospital, and since I had nowhere to live because of the burned out dormitory, he was kind enough to invite me to share his apartment with him and his three buddies. It's really a basement room, but it's kind of cute.
He is a very fine boy and we have fallen deeply in love and are planning to be married. We haven't set the exact date yet, but it will be before my pregnancy begins to show. Yes, Mom and Dad, I am pregnant. I know how much you are looking forward to being grandparents! I know you will welcome the baby and give it the love, devotion and tender care you gave me when I was a child.
The reason for the delay in our marriage is that my boyfriend has some minor infection which prevents us from passing our pre-marital blood tests, and I carelessly caught it from him. This will soon clear up with the penicillin injections I am having daily. I know you will welcome him into our family with open arms. He is kind and, although not well educated, he is ambitious. Although he is of a different race and religion than ours, I know your often expressed tolerance will not permit you to be bothered by the fact that his skin color is different than ours. I am sure you will love him as I do. His family background is good, too, for I am told that his father is an important weapons dealer in the village in Africa from which he came.
Now that I have brought you up to date, I want to tell you that there was no dormitory fire, I did not have a concussion or a skull fracture. I was not in the hospital, I am not pregnant and I am not engaged. I do not have syphilis and there is no man in my life.
However, I got a 'D' in History and an 'F' in Science, and I wanted you to see those marks in the proper perspective.
Your Loving Daughter
Linda

Someone ought to remind that Aussie idiot that the last fool to force tattoos on "undesirables" was Hitler tattooing the Jews.
Feckless idiot!

Gee, a leftist wanting to round up people who he thinks are harming the world and forcibly mark them. And people act so surprised when I lump Nazis and communists together (they're all statists). Maybe we should all be forced to stitch a little captain planet logo onto all of our clothing as well.

Forget climate change....that ozone hole over Australia must be getting bigger and frying the little gray cells.

Since this thread is about Australians and their green and gun grabbing ways.

Kill a Camel from a helicopter save the world from global warming.
But where will the find the rifles? (single shot bolt action rifles may be allowed with I assume lots of red tape, fees, back ground checks, need requirements and permits)
I've always wondered when termination facilities will be set up to "cull" the worst culprits, humans. Just wait, this is the final solution to the global warming argument.

The full quote.....
The Feckless Idiot wrote:On second thoughts, maybe the tattooing along the arm is a bit Nazi-creepy. So how about they are forced to buy property on low-lying islands, the sort of property that will become worthless with a few more centimetres of ocean rise, so they are bankrupted by their own bloody-mindedness? Or what about their signed agreement to stand, in the year 2040, lashed to a pole at a certain point in the shallows off Manly? If they are right and the world is cooling - ''climate change stopped in the year 1998'' is one of their more boneheaded beliefs - their mouths will be above water. If not …
Or, how about climate alarmists give the rest of us a break and start reexamining their "science" and methodology........which as it turns out, doesn't stand up to reexamination very well. It's so typical of the hard left that they wish death and destruction on their ideological opposites.....whereas the rest of the world simply wishes that the hard left would grow up, get their panties untwisted, start thinking critically, and stop embarrassing themselves.

And this is why we have a constant struggle. Most conservatives/libertarians just want to be left alone, and to leave others alone. The left KNOWS that their way is right, that its the best thing for "society" and the world, and any obstruction to that better path must be eliminated. By what means depends on the fanaticism of the leftie.
I fear utopianists more than any other type of person, because they're far more likely to justify stringing people up from the lampposts to get there.

Well, at least he is correct on this point:
Feckless Idiot wrote:People on the left instinctively believe in communal action, the role of government and the efficacy of international agencies such as the UN.
