What is this world turning into. Legit need a dictatorship. Too many people have freedom of speech.

"Food allergy advocacy groups" what the actual fuck. What are you advocating for/ against?! Just don't eat shit you are allergic to?

The internet has fucked us all.

Yep can't read any news anymore without seeing something like this.

Can anyone recommend me a news site that doesn't post stupid shit like this. (No I don't want the Onion either)

TTIM: All the hoo-ha over the Barnaby Joyce affair. So, a 24-y-o marriage runs into trouble and a guy's head is turned by another woman? Happens to plenty of people, and there are quite a few more who wish it could happen to them too. Some of the people throwing stones want to check their own glasshouses first. As for these women who are "enraged" by it all - what a bunch of hypocrites they are.

I have actually preferred Joyce's style of Politics to a lot of other MP's over the years but he made a lot comments about his belief in "The Family Unit" being the chief reason why he opposed Same Sex Marriage.

I have nothing against anybody holding such a view (albeit it was not mine) but obviously some people for which the plebiscite directly effected them or their family members are probably within their right point out the hypocrisy in these statements if they wish now the story was finally has been reported to them.

Also a lot People in Australia (Like Joyce himself proclaimed to be) are strong believers in the trust and respect and commitment elements of monogamist relationships and in particular when a marriage is concerned. Stats alone show a lot of these PPL dont live in glasshouses either and some of them of have had to experience their own relationships being destroyed by their own partners unfaithfulness as the major factor...

I know if I was a Single Mother because my Ex Husband ran off on me with a younger lady despite my own faithfulness and commitment to him then I would find it pretty hard not to detest Barnaby Joyce ATM.

24 years isn't a bad run for a marriage in this day and age tbh, shit happens,  personally I wouldn't hold it against him.  

But he chose to play the game of the 'family unit' and 'traditional marriage' and what not, so now of course he is going to suffer the consequences of his hypocrisy.

Also when he was saying these things everybody in Canberra/Politics already knew about his own issues at home...

I didn't listen to much of what other people said in the debate, but I understand that he did actually say, during the debate, that he was separated from his wife.

Anyway, my main point is that IMO people are going overboard on this issue. It happens to quite a few marriages, in workplaces, at conferences and training courses etc. etc. It's just the way people are.

How's Dastyari saying he got booted for "much less"...

Because actions bordering on treason are much more forgivable than sleeping with a co-worker.

Should be keeping his mouth shut and be happy he hasn't been charged with something surely, like that other labor senator who was a US spy and swiftly disappeared from politics and the media.

Wow what a surpise, people having a sook over something that doesnt effect them. Ive met Barnaby personally a few times and hes a good bloke. I couldnt care less if he killed kittens in his spare time as long as the way he does his job doesnt change, does that affair effect his daily job. Nope. So why do people care?

Theres a way to do it and a way not to do it.

If you're not happy with your marriage, don't be a pussy ass bitch and cheat, just tell your partner you're not happy and leave.

Hes also a government elected official representing the people, not some football player getting paid millions by a privately owned club. A better moral standard is expected out of him because of this, regardless of how good he is at his job.

(The woman is also a massive slag btw)

Then there is also the question as to who paid for what. If it all was out of his own pocket, let him be crucified on the hypocrisy cross  but if I paid for it then I want my piece of flesh.

I would agree that politicians personal lives don't matter and all the really matters is how well they do their job, if politicians got their jobs based on their ability. But that's not how it works. It's basically a big popularity contest, and so their personal lives are relevant.

Still would not care, they do their jobs correct then who cares what they do. Its the media that are bringing this back into his 'job'. If they could report on newsworthy things then we wouldn't have this problem. 10-20 years ago he would have got high fives for banging someone else. Now everyone needs a safe space. 

The last girl you banged Tes, what would you do if suddenly heaps of random people you dont know start making a fuss about it and as a result your boss fires you because you bring too much negativity?

Social media needs to die

I just think there are a lot of hypocrites pointing the finger at B. Joyce. I'll ask the married men on here the question - can you honestly say that you've never been tempted?

Being tempted and acting on it are two different things entirely.

Everyone would be lying is they said they were never tempted, but what makes you not a piece of shit human being is acting on those temptations.

Yes cheating is bad and its a shit thing to do, as mentioned if its not working just end it offcially. But my point im trying to make is the usual media cluster fuck that has no buisness reporting these things. Its ironic because most the media are saying how this has disrupted parliment, made the national party look bad etc, but its them reporting it that is causing this. FMD

To call anybody who cheats a piece of shit is a bit of a stretch. I for one have been on both sides of the equation as have most people I know. The libs will push him to resign from the cabinet and he will sit on the back bench and this will all blow over. 

Being single I never have these problems

im so lonely

Have you JW? ;)

Of course I have. I'm afraid I don't believe anyone who says the opposite. As for "giving in", well, some would argue that even the thought is a sin. Also, it's all to easy to judge someone when you are not in the same set of circumstances that they are or were. We're very quick to judge others (I'm guilty of that) and if we would only step back a minute we might be more sympathetic even though ultimately we don't condone what they do or have done.

Just out of curiosity, is there any act of hypocrisy that would rankle you?

Humans are inherently contradictory, we're all hypocrites. I think we're getting to the point we may as well be run by algorithm and robots cause everyone is dragged over the coals for everything in the current climate.

I see where you are coming from , but working in government is different to any other jobs. He's working in a field in which he is elected by people, and is required to represent the values of the people of his electorate as well as help govern the country (Yes I know that this is a grade 3 thing to say but IDGAF i believe it).  I don't think being a bitch and cheating on your wife is one of them lol. The bloke is also going to be in the public eye so much more then Joe the local mechanic, so is it really a surprise that he is being scrutinised the way is? Do you really want people like Barnaby Joyce, or that other flog politician who used tax payers money to buy porn and hookers to represent your country? As harsh as the media has been on him, politicians are held to a higher standard then most jobs and should be scrutinised more. Also, the fact as Det said that he was so against the gay marriage vote and kept talking about the 'sanctity' of marriage makes the whole thing so much sweeter. Karma's a bitch when you're a pussy ass bitch. What a hypocrite.

Do you not believe some acts are worse then others? Am I the only one getting sand in my Vagina in this thread about the fact a 50 year old man (who knows better) cheated on his wife?Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I even real?.....:blink:

I have never come close to being tempted to cheat.

I will admit to enjoying the attention of an attractive female every now and then... but still never ever had such feelings, in fact I actually have never cheated on any past partners either... not even at school.

NOTE: Also I cant be bothered reading back to find the poster but someone mentioned Joyce being a Good Bloke - This is true, he is well liked by as you can be on both sides of Parliament and with the media and this was why it took so long for what everybody knew to finally make it to print.
