Nick D Arcy

So it was a fantastic week for guns. Nick D’Arcy and Kenrick Monk had to go the mega mea culpa for momentarily being confused as to which sport they pull on the green and gold tracksuit and Dunlop Volleys for.

On the bright side, it could be a lot worse…

It was also a great week for parenting combined with guns, and it doesn’t get any better than that. One notable example showed that children are not only our future, but are in very good hands. Ok, one of those hands might be their mum or dad brandishing a semi-automatic pistol, or a pump-action shotgun, but that’s of little consequence.

The story of eight-year-old kids having parties at a shooting range copped more of a barrage than a nude guy chomping on a face in Miami.

    My only concern is how does an 8 year old handle the kick back? Ive seen a 30 year old, who fires guns all the time, scope himself. And yes, I laughed:) Read more »

    Shootin’ and cake but NO PIÑATA?! “It’s not festive like that…” Come on! Kids love bashing the crap out of those colourful paper-mâché creations. We all do! On a serious note - kids in Texas (and most of the US) have more to fear from the absolute rubbish their parents… Read more »

 

On Monday night, FIVEaa radio host Bob Francis used his forum as one of Adelaide’s most popular radio celebrities to wish death on boatpeople. He didn’t say where he would draw the line – whether he wanted only male asylum seekers to die or if women and babies should perish too.

This guy could give Nick D'Arcy lessons in public outrage… Picture: James Elsby

No, he simply told his listeners: “Bugger the boatpeople, I say. As far as I’m concerned, I hope they bloody drown out there on their way over here – in my opinion they are not welcome here.”

When a journalist dared to print the very printable public remarks, Francis did not recant. Instead he returned to the airwaves to say: “Can you believe that bloody bitch in The Australian ... some smart-arse dickhead woman ... wrote me up in the paper this morning.”

    @Adrian, @Zac, I don’t recognise any law that allows murder of babies. I reject such laws. Is that hard to understand? “Who are you, the DPP? Get over yourself.” Why should I bother what you have got to say? I have every right to pursue it and to make sure… Read more »

    @Zac, I disagree!! Just because some relativist darwinians have decided to blatantly murder innocent babies doesn’t make it legal. Actually, it is legal. It is murder pure and simple. Full stop. No it isn’t. I’ve already explained to you that aborion is not murder because it doesn’t involve the UNLAWFUL… Read more »
