Jerry Brito: Top ten myths about introverts →
jerrybrito:
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to…

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

This is the email I sent to Senator Humphries’ office, following this story.
Needless to say, as one of Gary’s constituents I am outraged and disgusted by this. I didn’t vote for him, of course, and I’ve always thought he was a waste of skin. Nevertheless, I never thought he would do something like this. My feeling is that he was persuaded (read: bullied) into it by Nick Minchin,...
A heartless way to be "humane"
nickford:
When a family is grieving for the loss of a loved one, the usual response would be to express compassion and sorrow. Not so for the Opposition’s immigration spokesman, Scott Morrison, who slammed the government for allowing detainees to attend the funerals of those killed in last year’s Christmas Island boat tragedy.
If people wanted to attend the funeral service from Sydney, for...
Mandatory beard legislation
petitiongaryhumphries:
Appropriately cultivated facial hair is the hallmark of a civilised yet strong society. Even Senator Humphries himself is halfway toward respectability in this area. We call on the Commonwealth to advance our nation by requiring all males of age - except the ones who just have that light, fuzzy stuff that looks silly - to grow and maintain a full beard, under penalty of...

WatchSad to watch a magnificent animal, usually so precise in its movements, make such an error.
And heartwrenching, standing idly by watching it die.
