Don't seem fair duzzit?

Time's only criteria seems to be whose head sold the most mags.

I know the Womens mags here ran P.Dianna pics on the front page as often as they could get away with it because the enthralled would buy the damned silly thing to read some garbage about her current doings.

I'm backing Miley.

Barack Obama should be a shoe-in because he already has a Nobel Peace prize. Oh, I forgot that he won that before he had done anything. Come to thing about it, he still hasn't done anything. :p

What problems has he caused you, down there?

You mean other than costing 'zillions' in trade deals with our touchy Asian neighbours who are now blackmailing us over getting caught spying on them via and thanks to the US network?

Causing us to 'lose face' that has taken decades to build up in the business and politics scene in Asia?
(Not just for dubious ethics of spying, they know we all do that to each other, but for being naff enough at it to get caught! )

Giving Indonesia the perfect opportunity to renege on the immigration deals we had in place to curtail the flotillas of refugees leaving Indo for here and overloading the processing centres far beyond what we can handle, just to put us in our place and make their President look the 'strong leader' to the voters up there?

Causing the East Timorese, who we 'liberated' from Indonesia decades ago and have been supporting on our budget ever since to now sue us to get the treaty overturned because we were spying on their meetings about stating terms and they want their oil fields back which is what we've been funding them with so they can then sell it China or someone while still expecting us to feed them anyway?

Oh and getting 220million bomb happy Muslim Indos a days boat trip away offended more than usual with us to flag burning level for spying on their President and his wife's cell phone conversations?
That the kind of thing you mean? ... noooo, Snowden's caused no trouble for us at all!
 
I had no idea. I thought the Aussies ran a clean, transparent government. I suppose Snowden did embarrass a few people in his own government, also. Naughty boy, that Snowden. That's why he ought to be named Time's Man of the Year.
 
Guess our news media forgot to inform us on all that....well, yeah, that might be a reason he'd be nominated for Time. :rolleyes: :(
 
Drifter, anyone who thinks a clean transparent Government can last more than a week on this planet is kidding themself. Even the Vatican can't do that.

Not surprised it wasn't mentioned in your media Anne, I doubt anyone there would want to hear about it for varying reasons.

I don't give a toss about the embarrassment, I do give one about Asia's use of it impacting on our economic future.

What did we do to Snowden except trust that information received via an intelligence sharing deal with America would be kept securely out of the hands of fwits like him and the newspapers??

Unlike many I fail to see the benefit of the general public knowing what the hell the spooks are up to. It's a filthy game and that's the only way it can be played.
We really don't need to know. It will just shatter our illusions and depress us, and how would knowing benefit us?

We never can be aware of all the ramifications of a situation and will make noises pushing naive decisions that choose ethically instead of logically. We've had an example of Twitter trending animal rights activists manouevering a soft silly government into making a decision that not only cost billions but actually made the plight of the animals far worse than the original protest was about. Gawd help us if we start running foreign policy according to Twitter trends.

We should let hard decisions be made by those who know what's really going on and not just spend 10 minutes a day reading a headline or a protest banner and pronouncing ourselves as the rightful arbiters of clandestine operations.

Those who want to hobble their own forces to pander to some whim of ethical appearances are seriously disadvantaging themselves and their Nation. The person adhering to the M. of Queensbury Rules in a street brawl won't walk away unscathed, if at all. That glitter and goodness is just the mask that Nations wear, they can't, and don't operate on goody 2shoes rules. Never did, never can. Why on Earth do we still get surprised by that? Do we think Walt Disney is directing things or something?

How can people in the US who are okay with blowing away intruders get all gaspy when it comes to their spooks doing it? I don't quite get that I must admit.

Man just think of how honored the other nominees must feel to actually be named right along side Miley Cyrus. That would sure make my day.

When I was checking the weather today on-line I couldn't help but see that Miley was named MTV's artist of the year. This is indeed the day that music died.

Oh wait maybe I read the title of this thread wrong, surely it must be Skank Magazine person of the year. Nope.

This to me in the last nail in the coffin of society, we can't really sink any lower than this. We have hit rock bottom.
 
The evil of repression and phony Disney World rears its ugly head . . .

To be fair, there have been many child stars that were cute as bugs when they were young - think Judy Garland, for one - but later developed into drug-addicted, brain-addled messes.

This is just the latest version of Hollywood gone wrong.
