		<description>Why not the article Les Heimann ?. How rediculous claiming it&#039;s anti-Semetic to comment upon a person charged. Why is the Jewish community up in arms about Pratt and not anyone else charged with an offence ?. And agian-when is Pratt going to give back to the Australian houselholds the monry he ripped off via the cartel ?.</description>

		<description>David Green would do well to tell us how immigration adds 1 million people each year because no-one else knows anything about this.   There are about 5 million short term visitors each year and here is the thing for David to consider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we move to greener and cleaner fuel all those visitors will be using the same fuel.   This notion that we don&#039;t do anything other than blame every one else is nonsense.    We are almost the highest per capita polluters and it about time we had a kick in the pants.</description>

		<description>Militant Secularism:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Goldbaum,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote &quot;secularism is an ideology which seeks to impose a world view&quot; Unquote&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure why the views of Pope on Secularism has something sinister.  He should be infact thanked for being well informed. I full agree with him. Today Secularism is the most intolerant ideology that is used to repress the religious and freedom of speech. It is a state tool to impose Atheism through the public institutions like public schools, media etc. Many in media today are the representatives of Atheist religion (yep, Atheism is a religion in Australia and U.S). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way here is a few (I can list heaps more) examples of modern secular/Atheist intolerance/violence. How would you justify this secular/Atheist intolerance?. Not bad even Atheists have “jihadists” who wouldn’t mind strapping a bomb for secularism/Atheism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a look at what the secularists/godless are up to and you can draw your own conclusions if we are safer from bloodshed in a secular/Atheistic world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SECULAR VIOLENCE &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANKARA: Turkish authorities have detained at least 21 hardline nationalists, including two prominent retired generals, in a widening police investigation into a suspected coup plot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the detentions were linked to the investigation into Ergenekon, a shadowy hardline secularist group suspected of planning bombings and assassinations calculated to trigger an army takeover. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It is not the AK party they cannot tolerate - what they can’t tolerate is democracy, the national will, the people’s feelings and thoughts,” Mr Erdogan said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23959304-2703,00.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATHEIST BIGOTS &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As an Atheist I find many fellow Atheists very bigoted.
