CONnex you've done it again

Have you ever wondered why terrorists never bothered to attack the Melbourne train line, but took the effort to hit the London, Madrid and if some of you can remember the Indian ones? No it's not that they found the Kangaroo's, Koala's and Wallaby's cute but a rather more insidious and diabolical reason. It's because Connex itself is a terrorist organisation. That's right the truth is out, CONnex and Al Qaeda are in bed together. In fact I have reason to believe that the Al Qaeda terror network is so impressed by CONnex that they have sent over some operatives to train with them and maybe pick up a thing or two on how to torture civilians while not getting shot at. This is state sponsored terrorism at it's height, forget Iran and North Korea for the enemy is right at our doorstep. Terrorists did indeed plan to attack the Melbourne rail system but after scouting the place out they realised that by bombing CONnex trains they'd be striking a blow for justice instead of their own insidious ends. They'd be helping the pagan infidels they swore to annihilate. Instead they marvelled at how CONnex could get away with crimes against humanity by providing the most shit transportation service ever known to man and charging commuters an arm and a leg. That's right, the service which CONnex provides is so bad it's considered terrorism. In CONnex, Al Qaeda found an ally, a kindred spirit, a mentor of sorts. And there lay CONnex's true mission, to destroy the lives of normal hard-working people, to rob them of their hard earned money and most important of all their life's blood, time. Forget the lies of technical faults and a lack of competent staff for it was all calculated and intentional. First they steal your money through the exorbitant fares, then they waste your time by delaying all their trains and making them stop at random places for no reason and finally they destroy your social and working life by making you late for every appointment. Bad service? No. Terrorism? Undoubtedly. There were days when not only did you not get to your destination, but is instead brought somewhere else. Like the Jews who thought they were going for a shower but ended up a statistic and a chapter in the history books. And it almost happened to me today, and this is what happened. I woke up at 5:50am to get to my 8:30am class this morning. I arrived at Melbourne Central station on time and promptly took the 6:50am Lilydale train. As usual it stopped at Flinders Street station but today however something strange happened. Unknown to me CONnex had changed the destination of this train, it was now going to Glen Waverly instead with the train on the next platform going to Lilydale. The only hint of this was the strange warbling sound over the PA system which strangely sounded like some secret Nazi code. Besides there are always announcements due to the hideous service provided by CONnex where something is always screwing up and delaying passengers. The only warning I had that they changed the trains was when I saw the train passing by had the word Lilydale on the LED sign at the back. You can already imagine the torrent of obscenities and hellish rage about to be unleashed by my being. I promptly went to ask the nearest CONnex staff what was going on and predictably enough he told me he had no idea and promptly went back to having verbal sex with his gay partner next to him. I sure as hell wasn't going to take this lying down so I went over to the service counter and unleashed hell on the two unfortunates there for the half hour needed to wait for the next train. I can safely say that CONnex is the most fucked up rail system in the world, it's so bad that it should be considered terrorism and crimes against humanity. We should get Jack Bauer here to kill and torture the lot of the fuckers for all the torment they put us commuters through. Actually after careful consideration I think CONnex are more than petty terrorists, instead they're a remnant of the Nazi party, waiting for the time when they can catch the civilised world off guard and strike back with a vengeance. I have a sneaking suspicion that their ruler is also a strange man with a disturbing mustache and one testicle, like his infamous predecessor..

Civiility at it's basics, It feels like 1939 again

Time for another lesson in civility. So here's the situation, our glorious Team HGF leader and his mistress were both fined for resting their feet on the seats of a train a few weeks back, a whopping $180 each (if I remember the going rates for fines by Connex correctly, I myself having been fined by those money swindling bastards once, rat turd arseholes the lot of them, I of course managed to weasel my way out of paying the fine as usual, TAKE THAT BITCHES!) which amounts to a combined $360. So now he's trying to get ole' Sibu AngKau and I to help him weasel his way out of this mess by helping him with his appeal letter. I mean $360 can be better spent elsewhere then donating it to the shit bags at Connex, like using it as toilet paper or rolling it up to smoke, anything other than paying it to them. Because paying a public transport fine in Australia is like saying you love Hitler and would love to have his children, that you're a swine of a Jew hater and the biggest racist this side of the universe, that you love to prance around with a armband with a swastika on it and engage in incestuous activities. It could also mean you're into SM and a whole host of other sexual deviance's, but I think we'll leave it as that for now. But try as I might for once I have to concede that even I may not be able to help ole' Navy slither his way out of this one. I mean sure I could talk my way out of why I had a concession ticket with me instead of a bloody full fare one; but explain my way out of why I'm propping my legs up on another seat? I think not. For one even the insidious use of the English language cannot disguise the fact that you purposely put your legs on another seat, which is of course against the law on public transports. Another compounding factor is the fact that there are bloody signs all over the place telling you that you're not supposed to do that. Anyway why would you prop your feat up anyway? I for one find it rather uncivil, I mean you're dirtying the seat for God's sake. Sure you could reason that since Connex are providing such crap service and charging such a high price I should be able to do as I please (and mind you that is a very good reason) you should not forget the fact that the poor chap next to you on the train is suffering the same problems as you. I mean everyone who takes the train is in this together, so by dirtying the seats you are not inconveniencing Connex you're just irritating other passengers. You think Connex gives a shit if their trains are in a good condition? The bloody things are late half the fucking time and they stink like the dogs food the day after. So remember, don't think of it as following the rules when it is actually the practice of civil consciousness at its basics. Spitting in public, making a mess in public places, and basically inconveniencing others is something an unlearned and discourteous lout would do. People with a modicum of civility should steer clear of such behaviour. Remember "Do unto others as you would have done unto you".

On to my next matter, who in the world would want to be a tram/train officer? I mean you've got to have the most pathetic life in the world, either that or you love SM. That and as I've mentioned before you're an anti-semitic Nazi. For one you're not a police officer (or the gestapo as they're otherwise known), I mean you're just an overweight turd with a very strange looking badge, the kind that kiddies have when they get their first cowboy and indians play set. I've seen drunken imbeciles making a mess out of a train/tram before and harassing fellow commuters but not once have I seen a tram/train officer be around to stop them. I have on the other hand seen these "officers" terrorising paying customers by going around and demanding that you show them that you're actually dumb enough to pay for what is an overpriced and deplorable service and that you're helping them to maintain their trains because they themselves can't be fucked to do so. I'll bet my scrawny ass that these people have a bloody quota which they must meet once a month. If they fail to meet it they'll get their asses fired and thrown back onto the streets and Connex will demand a "stimulus" package from the government because their finances went down the tube. I have a theory that all tram/train officers are people who have taken and failed the test to be a cop(/gestapo) and as such settled for the next best thing; which is being a train/tram(/SA/SS) officer. I mean every time a train officer comes up to me and demands to see my ticket I feel like I'm getting mugged. Or about to be sent to a gas chamber. You'd think that these people will be prancing around with sadistic glee's on their faces but no, they always give you that constipated look, like they've been holding it in for the better part of a century which might explain why they're so full of it. So to all these unfortunates I say GET A REAL JOB! In fact GET A REAL LIFE! Not to mention a couple of boxes of laxatives as well.

Falling Down, by Oasis

Damn it I love this song; it's "Falling Down" by Oasis, simply brilliant. I first heard it when I saw Eden of the East, a new anime series recently released a few months ago, and it's quite a good show too, gets you thinking about the problems which affect society.



Falling Down
By Oasis

The summer sun, it blows my mind
Is falling down on all that I've ever known
Time will kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

A dying scream makes no sound
Calling out to all that I've ever known
Here am I, lost and found
Calling out to all

We live a dying dream
If you know what I mean
All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
I Call Him up in and out of nowhere
Said "if You won't save me, please don't waste my time"

All that I've ever known
All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
I Call Him up in and out of nowhere
Said "if You won't save me, please don't waste my time"

The summer sun, it blows my mind
It's falling down on all that I've ever known
Time will kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

Justice, Ethics, Life, Death

"Terrorists and criminals should be treated in a humane and ethical fashion when judgement upon them is passed down. As such the death penalty and torture should be abolished as it goes against the rights of man" Pure bollocks if you ask me, this matter of humane treatment for the scum of society. It's something the hypocritical people in a number of western nations and states have been advocating for some time. I am an extremely strong supporter of capital punishment and the torture of terrorists.

Lets begin with my case on capital punishment. In recent years the Australian government has had to deal with a number of cases where some of their idiotic citizens have crossed the boundaries of law in another country, usually in the South-East Asian region. Their crime? Drug trafficking, which I find one of the lowest criminal acts around. Drugs bring ruin to people who use them, what awaits them is a fate worse than death as they develop an addiction to it. An addict won't die if he can't afford to consume the drug anymore, he'll just live a life of unbearable pain. Drugs not only affect the user, it affects society as well. An addict needs cash to feed his habits, and when it comes to drugs he needs lots of it. As these people can barely keep their lives in check they obviously don't have jobs, so where does their funding come from? First they leech off their relatives, and when that has reached its limit they then enter a life of crime. Theft, robbery and murder. And this is why I believe drug dealers are murderers, worse, they are anarchists, they live to take in the chaos which consumes the world. Now most SE Asian nations impose the ultimate penalty on drug traffickers, the death penalty. As such the Australian government, and society which is strongly against the death penalty have been furiously trying to get their criminal exports off the hook. Their claim against the death penalty? Its inhumane, and that man does not have the right to take the life of another. Pure bloody hypocrisy on the part of the Australians. Do we not remember what happened during the trial of the Bali bombers? A good many Aussie's were screaming bloody murder and demanding the death penalty for all involved. So one view for their citizens and another for foreigners? This is the extent of their moral ethics? Then it is sorely lacking indeed. Drug trafficking is in a way terrorism in its own right, didn't the poppy fields of Afghanistan provide the funding needed to raise and maintain the armies of the Taliban? But instead of a sudden and violent death for the innocents (I use the word very loosely here because is anyone truly innocent?) it slowly bleeds them out, attacking at the fringes of society until one day it hits you right in the face. And what of the terrorists, murderers and rapists? Do we chuck them in prison for a decade or two and then spit them back into society where a good many of them will revert to their old ways, or do we finish them off with a length of rope, a cocktail of nerve agents or good ole' brass cartridges. I of course vote for the latter. Imagine this, these crims are living a decent life in prison, they have heating in the winter, three meals a day, a bed to sleep on, sanitary facilities, medical facilities and depending on the prison a host of other recreational activities. Heck it's like a resort for criminals. And who pays for the upkeep of these facilities? Tax payers; the victims or families of the victims. It's like a slap in the face to these people and I ask you now "Has justice truly been served?" If you ask me we should just impose the death penalty on the lot of them, society is better off and much safer without scum like these around. Besides the death penalty serves as a deterrent to all those would-be drug dealers and crims out there, if you want to enter a life of crime be prepared to forfeit your life. Give them a chance those so-called human rights groups say, but were any of their victims given a chance?

On to my second case, the use of torture to extract information from terrorists. There's been great condemnation around the world when it came to light that some American agencies have been using torture on terrorists during interrogation sessions. To the Americans I say good job, to the rest of the world? Lets see if you still feel the same way after terrorists fly planes into your buildings. In my view terrorists are debased sub-human creatures who only deserve swift and violent death. Attacking army personnel and law enforcement personnel is one thing, but innocent civilians? Women, children and the aged? Now that's just repulsive. Which is why I say, if you can get your hands on someone with definite information on terrorist activities grill the shitbag with every method at hand until he spills everything he knows. Break his fingers slowly and at every joint, throw him on a metal bed frame and hook up a couple of car batteries to it, water board him, use any and every method at hand until you have the information you need. This information can save the lives of hundreds; or even thousands of civilians. What use is moral ethics and humane treatment if it only results in the death of hundreds. Besides these are terrorists, not military combatants from another army and as such the rules of war do not apply to them. I'm sure that many would-be terrorists would think twice if torture was legalised. Death the crazed zealots can handle, but pain? I highly doubt it.

"Only the living can speak of morals and ethics, but of the dead their voices cannot be heard."
