Which politician do voters want to see nude?

Yeesh, just the thought of this question makes me nauseas!

Apparently voters in Australia have nothing better to think about other than which of their elected officials they would like to see nude. The results of their poll are irrelevant, but let’s just say anybody who wants to see a 50 year old politician naked needs a hobby!

If any body called me asking to take part in a national poll where the question asked is “who would you most like to see naked, Bush, Cheney, Pelosi, etc. etc?” I’d hang myself with the phone cord!

Migaloo more important than military exercises

Migaloo, the albino humpback whale has caused the Australian Defense Force to move future military exercises away from Queensland’s Shoalwater Bay area. Now that’s respect!

Migaloo has been spotted swimming towards Shoalwater Bay, and there are fears sonar equipment used in naval exercises could cause him, or other whales, to beach. For those of you that don’t know about Migaloo, he is the only documented white humpback whale in the world and he calls the waters around Australia and Antarctica his home.

The name Migaloo comes from the Australian Aboriginal word meaning “White Fellah.” He even has his own website, which can be seen here.

The Government of Australia has recognized this magnificent creature’s migratory path and is taking steps to not interfere with it, which should be applauded by all.

Australia can and should pull the trigger to stop the Japanese Whale Hunts

International legal experts agree that Australia can stop the Japanese “Scientific” whaling program if it went to court. Australia could take Japan to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, or the International Court of Justice.

The legal team found that Japan’s so called “scientific whale hunt” breaches a number of international conventions.

It’s about time someone stood up to Japan, and legally challenged their “Scientific” whale hunts. Japan has used the word “scientific” far too long to try and convince themselves and the world they are not needlessly slaughtering whales for financial gain, but rather for scientific purposes.

It’s time to support the Australian Government and finally put an end to Japan’s whaling charade.

We share this planet you know?

It’s no wonder shark populations are dwindling. If the Chinese aren’t destroying them for their so-called “precious” soup, the Australian’s are hunting them because they are bored.

“High-rise Hunters”, as they call themselves are catching Bull sharks by the dozens in their own backyards. Queensland, in the south east area of Australia is the fastest growing region in the country. It boasts hundreds of miles of waterways that snake through the Gold Coast, and apartment blocks and villas often back on to the water.

Bull sharks are comfortable in both sea water and fresh or brackish water.

With so many sharks traveling up the river systems in the area, and the population explosion, the inevitable was bound to happen. What always happens when man takes over a new territory? Yup, man doesn’t share anything. The environment and the wildlife always suffer.

These self proclaimed “High-rise Hunters” have been catching bull sharks from their condo balconies and their back yards. One wanna-be shark hunting Rambo type proclaimed, “”We sit in the lounge room with the rods set up and play the PlayStation, waiting for the bites.” Another turd described his average evening this way; “I bait my line with chopped-up eel, fix it to a pontoon at the back of my garden and retreat to my living room to watch DVDs. When I hear the sound of the line playing out, I sprint down to grab the rod.” He then goes on to say,” My mum doesn’t like it much because I keep breaking things as I run through the living room to the jetty.”

Get a life people. If you’ve got a problem with the sharks in your backyard, maybe you shouldn’t have moved to the territory!

Sharks have inhabited this earth for millions of years. Man has been around for a fraction of the time. But in this short time span, we have somehow evolved to be the bully of the sandbox. Man has got it into it’s head that we and animals cannot share this planet, so we destroy what we don’t understand, or what it considers an “inconvenience”.

Why Are We Humans So Stupid

Well, the stupidity of the human nature has reared it’s ugly head once again!

I’m speaking about the tragic death of Steve ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin. While filming an episode for his extremely popular nature program, he was suddenly struck in the heart by the poisenous barb of a Stingray’s tail off the coast of Australia. Eyewitness accounts of the event all reported that in no way was Steve threatening, or intimidating the animal at the time. The Stingray just acted in self defense, only the Stingray knows why. It happens.

In the past few days, dead Stingrays have been washing ashore on the beaches of Australia. Some of them with their tails cut off. That’s right! It seems there are possies of Red Neck Australians hunting down Stingrays to avenge Steve’s death! Give your head a shake people! It seems the extremely docile Stingray has now been put into the category of ‘Man Eater/Attacker’, and is being hunted because of the label!

Sharks are probably the most feared and hunted fish in the sea. Why? Probably because of the shark attacks on surfers. From underneath, the Shark doesn’t know the difference between a swimmer and lunch. It is just trying to survive. But man views it differently. We see them as a predator to man, so it must be destroyed. We are the only animal on this Earth that kills out of revenge.

This way of thinking will be our demise. Why is it that every time a person (famous or infamous) dies because of an attack from an animal, we as humans go into ‘Genocide Mode’? “Kill ‘em all, what are they good for”, is the usual cry reported in the media from one-toothed morons who have a hard time spelling their first names!

It’s not enough that we persecute our own kind, we now deem it our responsibility to persecute animals which are lower down in the food chain than us! If we are truly charged with being the custodians of this Earth, we should be fired! We are doing a piss poor job.

One more thing. After the Earth shakes us off it’s skin like the bad rash that we are, we’ll be gone. But the Shark will still be here because it’s a survivor
