Skeptic Project

Well there's no political party on earth that's 'free' of truthers etc. In-fact we've had many come mainly from the Labor party. There's no party completely free of any of those things, but none of it can be found in official policy or people with leadership positions.

Well, good for you.

I'm not blackmailing anyone with them. He knows exactly what's in them and I've concluded in discussion with others that the screenshots are completely insignificant. Of course getting plastic surgery is just sooo wrong - I'm only an artist, god why would I need that!? I'm not confused about them at all, as I said, I took a position of argument for the purpose of taking a position of argument and nothing more (not to mention that I confirmed that I was wrong in that very socialism thread - not to mention that I knew from the beginning how wrong I was because this issue of socialism - egalitarianism - etc was covered as a main study area when I studied philosophy in VCE and got an above state average score for ... if I cared enough I could scan some of my writings from that course online but I don't) and of course it's so pathetic of me to suggest Assange should get the peace prize even though many countries have suggested as such - oh gee, Muertos.

I can't believe the guy was going to release material or better yet blackmail Peter for Power or something, that is simply wrong on many levels.

It had nothing to do with power whatsoever, no matter how much anyone wants to claim it.

I did make a statement at one point in discussion with this website's founder and others that it'd be nice to create a social organisation with virtually the same aims, to bring in the progressives from the ZM - which was at a time when I did not see it as progressive at all and was (yes) antagonistic to it. But that's still a far stretch from me suggesting such a silly idea as 'lets overthrow peter' or something like that - something I never suggested. Ever.

I have no need to be attractive to you, and all I'll say is that plastic surgery & make-up have absolutely nothing to do with my perceived personal desire to be attractive. It's because I want to work in the media industry, in the sense of being in the public eye - and the more "perfect" you appear the more likely you are to succeed - period.

"Perfection" is going to be the philosophy of my media career.

That's really all I need to say to the above.

There was never any form of black-mail with them because nobody was under threat as a result of them. For something to be black-mail, the "endangered party" (so to speak) has to be endangered by actions that would be labelled as 'black-mail'. Blackmail is not the word.

I'm not commenting on them. I'm talking about them. To comment on them would be to talk specifically about their contents and/or their implications. Don't bother trying to twist my words.

You are twisting my words. I'm more than happy to talk about my motivations and previous position regarding those screenshots, what I had thought I might do with them, etc, etc,. But I will not talk about their actual contents (though, I have alluded to them in the past - sure). Pretty clear distinction.

Yeah my mind is so warped I only see one of Australia's best clinical psychologist/psychotherapist - who I went to because I actually thought that I might have a major problem, but nope - who has pronounced the exact opposite about my mind. But whatever. You know me better than a highly trained professional, right?

I'm happy to lay out my medical history because I don't even need to have confidence about my own stability, I KNOW that I am and any bullshit from you to the contrary is just that - bullshit.

Not at all. Perfectly stable? Yes.

This is just descending.

Oh, right, well since you bring that up. I'm on financial assistance because I'm a student. That's a given in Australia. And by the way drug use isn't a sign of instability unless it results detrimental circumstances, period.

I thought you were done with this discussion.

Well I was until you gave me a reason to add something. I'm not going to give you the last word if it's full of shit.

Do you even know how much student allowance in this country is? Do you know how cheap marijuana is here? Not exactly leaving me starving or unable to pay my bills, put it that way.

Do remember that I'm living in the strongest Western economy on the planet.

I just love this. You've mentioned yourself that you've used drugs, yet it's okay for you to attack me for using them. #doublestandard

Of course I see a problem with it, and in-fact the majority of the money I have spent on marijuana was not government money. I'm allowed to work alongside getting student allowance, FYI. In any case haven't used any drugs for quite some time, and I've only been on student allowance since November. I don't know why I'm bothering to justify myself. Whatever.

This is only the second discussion I've come back to. You love putting me in this position. Getting me to say I'm done. Then when I do that you say something that you know will trigger a response out of me because it pisses me off. You're very very very good at being a troll, Matt.

My story is entirely straight. I don't give a damn if you don't believe me because I don't need you to (God, I've said that too many times). My response is simple: do you honestly think that I'd project my realistic personality on a website like this, with dangerous individuals such as yourself on here? I mean I really would be insane if I did that.
