I was watching A Current Affair tonight, waiting for a story about the rollout of Taser Guns to the grunts out on patrol with our Police force. Seems ACA thought it was a good enough story, the presenter volunteered to be shot with a loaded Taser Gub, delivering 50,000 volts of electricity via 2 barbed prongs.

Not sure what the presenters name was, Chris Kenny I think, but the man deserves a bloody medal!

Seems the boys in blue have been waiting for months for the results of a preliminary report on the vesability of implementing Taser Guns into the protective arsenal now being utilized by South Australian Police. And them(Police Bigwigs) where delaying the implementation for some bullshit reason.

Anyway, the reporter was shot under strict control with a Taser and hit the ground as if he had been king hit in a pub brawl. It didn’t last long, maybe 5 second before he started to come round. I’m not sure why he volunteered, but thereis no way I will ever volunteered.

But, I would much prefer to get shot with a Taser, than being shot with a 357 Magnum handgun. At least with the Taser I will get up and be none the worse for it. Get shot with a handgun and the chance of ever getting up is pretty slime and if you do, it will take months of extreme pain before you will be well enough to get on with your life.

Give them the Tasers! Let them shoot as many bad guys as they want. As long as one hormone pumped up cop doesn’t lash out and use it on some poor bastard that dared to mouth off at them while under the influence of booze.

Ican see that we do need to monitor how the Tasers are used but I still would prefer the Taser over a handgun. If you have been such a diskhead that a cop felt he or she needed to us it on you, then you deserved all you got. If I was acting in a threatening way and the person I was playing up to feared for their lives, they deserve to protect themselves the best way they can. If that means shooting me with a Taser, go for it. But I had better hope that the cops who have to bring me down have Taser’s and not a loaded handgun.

I wish some of these bloody do-gooders saying that Tasers, and tools like these should not be used by the Police, would go out and do a shift with the Police. See how they would handle some blonde chick screaming blue murder as 2 cvops trying to arrest her drug dealer boyfriend. Would they just sit back an watch the same blonde smash a full bottle of Vodka over your partners head? Or would they want to pull their batton or piston? Or would they feel less threatened if they had a Taser, knowing that putting the blonde chick down in the longterm would be less traumatic and would solve a dangerous situation? The answer would be if they were even close to being human, would be to use the Taser and would happy knowing that the blonde chick was no longer a threat and was very much alive because fatal force was not needed.

I would prefer to be shot with a Taser and I hope that the SA Police get the guns they need. What do you think?

How can the finance fuckups of one country effect the financial wellbeing of all the other nations of the world?

I have to admit that I don’t own a house, have enormous amounts of money invested and basically this financial crisis we are now in has very little effect. Add to that, I am an Australian with a fairly safe financial base, with all our large banks making billion dollar profits.

But, I still have to ask why the yanks allowed their financial institutions to steal money from them.

I have always had the belief that people investing in homes and realestate, with the hope to make unbelieveable profits in a very short time deserve to be in the position they are in now. These fucking leeches have taken an immoral ground that, as long as they make a small fortune short term, who gives a shit if the new owners need to take on a mortgage they really can’t afford. I suppose they can justify their greed by claiming that, these strugglers should have done their research.

I believe in karma. Do something bad to someone, something bad will happen to you

Also, how immoral can the financial institutions be. These fucking pricks sold loans they know would never be paid back. How could a battler l;oan 200k, pay at a reduced rate in the hope that the banks will be understandable when the full rate had to be back. Sure there was a lot of ignorance on the borrowers side, but the banks were sitting in their high branches like vultures just waiting to pick off the people who had to forclose.

Banks, don’t lose money. They sell a loan and if the loan defaults, they sell the defaulted loans to some more vultures. Don’t ever think that Banks lose money. It’s a fucking lie when they say, they have made a loss.

And, whats with the multi-million dollars incomes of the CEO’s and Directors. 4 million, 12 million and ever 28 million dollars yearly incomes are the norm these days, even if the institution makes a loss.

I think that all Banks large an small should be Government regulated to assure that there will be some transperancy in how these banks operate. How can an CEO justify sacking 200 tellers, claiming they are trimming the fat, when infact they have just had a 3 million dollar pay rise?

It sucks and I for one would not support any move to financially support these thieves. Any Bank that can be proven to have participated in risky Bank practices and then scream massive losses should be gaoled.

Stick them behind bars and liquidate all their assets and give their loved ones an income eqaul to and no larger than the dole.

Well that’s what I think.

Publishers Note: I get emails form this website and I found this article interesting. So interesting I wanted to add it to Snappa.

Prime Minister John Howard has presented legislation to the Parliament, authorising the Federal Government to seize control of all of the water of the Murray-Darling Basin from the states, and to put it under a new Federal agency with dictatorial powers. Just before Victorian Premier Steve Bracks and his Water Minister John Thwaites suddenly resigned on Friday, July 27, Bracks charged that Howard’s actual intent was to privatise all of the Basin’s water. Caught, Howard bellowed that Bracks was “desperate, stupid, inaccurate and just totally wrong.”

It is Howard who is desperate. The global financial system is now crashing down, and the financial oligarchy which owns Howard is attempting to grab control over such vital assets as raw materials, food, and water, so as to maintain their political power when their paper, and even their banks vaporise. Howard’s legislation will give his owners control over the Basin’s water for which they will charge whatever they want, and, by bankrupting most of the farmers there, in Australia’s food bowl—as this legislation assuredly will—will make us dependent on multinational agribusiness for our food.
