On Bishops, living and dead

so on saturday i finished my assignment on early saints. By nine pm that night i was seriously wanting to strangle Patrick and Guthmundr, but unfortunately they're both long dead already.
I considered taking my anger out on a current bishop, in punishment for his Irish and Icelandic predecessors. But in then end i decided it would be too risky, because given the bishops we have around here it'd be hard to claim insanity for stabbing them.

Idiots like THIS.
he makes me angry.

Why Australia Needs Hate Crimes Legislation

interesting thing that i noticed though- the group he's describing, whom he feels aren't being appropriately sentenced after the Cronulla Riots, are 'white Australians', as opposed to 'lebanese australians'.

why are 'white' australians typified by skin colour and not place of origin? why not 'anglo-Australian', even if it doesn't encompass groups from western europe who migrated here and have now blended pretty much seamlessly. what about 'Euro-Australian' as a term?

'White Australians', to anyone who's sat through a year nine history class and/or is old enough to remember the Whitlam era or further back, carries an irremovable overtone of 'True Australians'. Oh, sure, we're told the White Australia Policy was 'bad', but if the terminology that goes with it continues to be used, then those values continue to be implicit in those terms.
