Other sites have it, but I thought I’d link to it from here too.

Enjoy. The truth sometimes makes you smile.

Update: Looks like the leftards hate the truth and the vid has been booted.

I have studied the the 1930s deeply, yet I find myself living them as well.

Morons today, morons then.

UK continues to edge towards soul destroying socialism with the nationalisation of another bank.

God help us all.

www.smh.com.au - Crime warning over gun laws

Of course, that bastion of the earth shattering level of idiocy begins with a misleading headline.

CHANGES to gun laws will make it easier for people to gain access to firearms from October 1.

Not a bad thing altogether.

But while shooting clubs expect more people to be attracted to the sport, critics say the amendments will lead to more high-powered weapons and gun crime.

Naturally these critics have done their research. They have excellent evidence to support their case and use impeccable sources.

Greens MP Lee Rhiannon said the amendments “weakened” gun laws. She said the laws should have been tightened, given last week’s college shooting in Finland that left 11 dead.

“These changes definitely water down the gun laws that had been tightened post the Port Arthur massacre,” Ms Rhiannon said. “There is so much domestic gun violence [in Australia] that basically equates to a massacre every two weeks.”

Aw, too bad…

Credit is due to Ms Rhiannon however. She has managed to tell the truth. These gun laws are watered down, but it’s to her debit that she thinks this is bad thing. She’s a woman and a Green. This is not a good recipe for a clear and rational thinking brain.

Ms Rhiannon said the move brought NSW politics one step closer to US-style governing, “where MPs are behoven to the gun lobby and unable to speak out against it”.

Of course, the old tactic of hysterical scaremongering by bringing up the spectre of Wild West America is par for the course. Don’t mind the truth.

Check your brains at the door. Don’t expect a receipt. You don’t need one.

Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (NSW) executive officer Richard Gawned said the changes simply removed the bureaucracy involved in buying more firearms. Amendments also made it easier for people to take up the sport, with those who were unlicensed to be supervised by licence-holders at all times.

Next step. Getting rid of the moronic licensing laws which have ZERO GAIN for public safety.

Finally a phone that is functional, elegant, and doesn’t look like it belongs in a makeup bag. Of course we’ll never get this in Oz.

The douches who hand over their cash for rubbish quality phones really don’t make it worthwhile for companies to cater for those with taste.

Australia tour of India, 2008/09.

This is first match in a long time where Australia is the underdog in some people’s eyes, so it should be a good scrap. And it’s test cricket. No 50/50 or 20/20 rubbish. That’s for later, when the lager drinkers wake up.

News.com.au - Landlords warned on rent hikes

So the crisis that anybody with a functioning brain cell saw is really coming to a head. Naturally enough us heartless liberals who believe in property rights predicted this event. The usual cause of most of our economic catastrophes has been the “solution” to “injustice”.

Mr Martin said the demand for rental properties had outgrown supply by about three to one with Sydney’s population growing at more than 1400 a week, almost double the number of rental properties available on the latest figures.

Mortgage defaults have also forced more families into the rental market.

Punitive taxes including stamp duty and land tax, coupled with a lack of land being released for new development, have been blamed for the stagnating market.

The institute has proposed that the State Government scrap the contentious land tax and offer investors a full rebate of their stamp duty over seven years with a partial rebate if they sell before that.

That’s right. The incompetent and mediocre idiots in government have done this.

Of course our economic journalists (read ignorant fools) can only drum up the blatantly obvious reasons. There’s a bigger issue here. In New South Wales, property rights are conditional. You only get to do with your property what the government lets you. Of course, when the government has the final say, you get much gnashing of teeth.

If landlords could exercise their full property rights then we’d see a lot more development in higher density housing, like apartment blocks or town houses. Time and time again I’ve read or been told stories of what property owners have to go through to even build town houses on empty land they own. There’s a myriad of regulations that achieve nothing but to put compliance costs above the profit of actually developing land.

For the foreseeable future we’ll be stuck with dingy old houses on prime development land because they have been heritage listed by a council looking to justify its existence or the locals not wanting to lose the “atmosphere” of their suburb.

All of this and the average idiot still votes for social democrats (there is no liberal or conservative party in Oz).

And don’t expect class envy to get the pass.

“What we don’t want is unscrupulous landlords jacking up rents unreasonably at the expense of tenants, that’ll just make the problem worse.”

Worse for who? You watch vacancy rates rise when prices align themselves with the demand and supply of the market. What is unreasonable about getting fair market value for your product?

However, we want to get wobbly-kneed without the hangovers.

Morons.

…because I can’t.

What one shopping expedition can reveal. It seems these are the phones popular with everyone.*UGH*

Where’s the gentleman’s department in phones?

Are we after phones or handbag accessories?

News.com.au - Smoking laws ’stuff up to cost millions’

It’s nice to be proven right, but not always. However, there it is. The simple truth still holds, property rights are fundamental to the successful operation of the free market. Some people will never get that.

News.com.au - Women’s rights ‘dwindling in Europe’

Five years ago, 20,000 acts of violence against women were reported, a number that has since grown to 30,000, she said.

[…]

Paradoxically, authorities’ desire to display tolerance and respect of immigrants’ religions and culture could be accentuating the phenomenon.

[…]

But in so doing they were playing into the hands of religious fundamentalists who want to suppress women’s rights.

No sympathy from me.

Eat it.

Stupidity should hurt.

Now it does.

Morons. The lot of you.

News.com.au - Telstra slashes 800 jobs

TELSTRA has announced it will cut 800 jobs as part of “streamlining” measures.

So off the blocks with a sneer quote.

It has said customer service staff will not be affected and the cuts will be made from management.

This is most likely the real reason behind these cuts. One of the problems with large companies is they get fat very quickly. A lot of this bloating is caused by the growth of unnecessary middle management and bureaucratic positions that essentially produce nothing and consume everything. The market, being the way it is, punishes such actions quickly and severely.

However, in Australia, that won’t stop any journalist whipping up idiotic class envy.

Last month the company announced a profit of $3.69 billion, with boss Sol Trujillo taking home a $13 million salary, stock and bonuses package.

The job of CEO is so difficult and specific that there are more of these positions available than there are people to fill them. So what’s going on here? The CEOs are in a market with a labour shortage and they take full advantage of it.

However, that’s not the point here. The point is to set the reader against “evil” Telstra who makes so much money yet heartlessly fires staff. More importantly the man in control is taking home a ridiculously large salary which should instead be redirected to pay and save the jobs of those poor staff.

Good luck with that, morons. If you like it that way go live in Europe. I’m sure you’d love the contracting economies there.

News.com.au - Swiss army knife stays Swiss

THE Swiss army will keep getting its Swiss army knives from a Swiss manufacturer, after Victorinox beat Chinese and other foreign rivals to retain the contract.

This is good news. I have a Victorinox Swisschamp and am more than happy with it. Victorinox still make the best multi-tools in the world. They offer everything. From small gentleman’s pocket knives to
the full size SwissTool.

The fact that a Chinese manufacturer thought it could offer it’s crappy dinky communist steel to compete with the Swiss is exceeding the hilarious. I highly doubt that a Chinese multi-tool could match the story of a man using his Victorinox’s large blade to cut through a metal pipe and not damage the edge. I’ve seen Chinese copies bought by my friends snap their blades poking a soup can.

“Victorinox will produce the new soldier’s knife for the Swiss armed forces” after offering taxpayers “the best price-performance ratio”, the Swiss defence ministry’s technology department said.

[Emphasis Mine]

That’s right. You buy it once and it lasts you a lifetime. It won’t snap on you 6 months down the track.

The Swiss have a track record of keeping their sanity in the moronic Euro-socialist swamp.
