		<description>If you really are studying to be a lawyer, GP, you should make sure you know the meaning of &#039;literally&#039; (678). At a guess, I&#039;d say you&#039;re literally challenged.</description>

		<description>For the benefit of blogers

Pro. Gerard Henderson is the &#039;right&#039; most famous Historian (not Bolt a gossip man
Yet even Henderson does not challenge the basic research on Pro Peter Read

Its a little pointless debating with someone who does NOT accept the opinion
of the best expert on their OWN side of politics

Fellow spirits , I&#039;m going out ....all the best</description>

		<description>GP

Do the children stolen from their parents deserve an apology on purely humanistic grounds

		<description>No 684

Jen, ShowsOn&#039;s comments demonstrate cynical dislike for high wage earners based on nothing but pure class bigotry and jealousy.

It appears a class in English will be necessary for many Poll Bludger readers. Oh, I forgot, that don&#039;t teach English anymore. They teach students about redressing &quot;social injustice&quot;, whatever the hell that has to do with English, your guess is as good as mine. ;-)</description>

		<description>[ShowsOn, thankyou for entirely missing the point. Pathetic personal attacks don’t enhance the value of your otherwise frail arguments.]

So why did you just attack me personally?

Typical Liberal hack who can&#039;t practice what they preach.</description>
