Elizabeth Swann: There will come a moment when you'll have the chance to do the right thing.
Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

In the Northern summer of 1980, France developed its own neutron bomb, Zimbabwe cut diplomatic ties with South Africa, Iran released an American hostage, the military staged a coup in Bolivia, Israel declared Jerusalem its undivided capital, Polish workers seized the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk and the US revealed a new stealth bomber.
Meanwhile in New York, the Aleem twins, together with their neighbour Leroy Burgess, released "Summertime" under the moniker A High Frequency on the Aleem's own Nia imprint. A 1982 version was performed by the late Curtis Hairston for Pretty Pearl Records, owned by basketball player Earl "The Pearl" Monroe. The Pearl was executive producer of the High Frequency version as well.

Aleems.

There's a morbidly obese woman at work who told me that she likes Murdoch's toerag Andrew Bolt because "he tells it like it is."
Consequently, I can never like her.
Yet, there's something likeable about her.
Her favourite recording artist is Barry White so I imagine her fairying around to this in her living room in the burbs with her racist husband.
From 1976.

Because she likes Andrew Bolt's views and his main thing seems to be bashing asylum seekers, Muslims and Aborigines. Aborigines and asylum seekers are the two most marginalised and oppressed groups in Australia and they get scapegoated.
There is also serious official discrimination against both groups including the suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act in the Northern Territory in order to ban Aborigines from buying alcohol and porn and to ensure that only half their social security payments arrive in cash - the rest is on a "basics card" (basically a food stamp). The dirt poor Timorese fishermen who bring asylum seekers here have been fishing Australian waters for centuries before colonisation but they are treated as greedy interloping criminals and imprisoned. They're not even allowed to take their prison earnings home to Indonesia because the Murdoch press ran a bs story about how they deliberately come here to make money in prison and then go home flushed with cash. Asylum seekers, including their children, are locked up in camps, many of which are located in remote desert regions.
I am utterly against discrimination based on race. If you ban alcohol and porn ban it for everyone don't just blanket ban it for a diverse group of people based on their race.
The government uses marginalised communities as a political football in order to distract the majority from the fact that it's their neoliberal policies which are ruining the country for current and future generations.
Yes, it's largely to do with what I would consider a lack of understanding, but there's no point arguing with people like that because they believe that their "good old days" have gone. Also her opinions are as strong as mine.
In my opinion the "good old days" of the post war generation have gone not because of less homogeneity in society but because the balance between capital and labour has swung entirely towards the capitalists' side.
A system based on exploitation, taking advantage, profiting off people and trying to maximise your gain and others' loss is hardly going to build a caring, compassionate society, without checks and balances.
The selling out of the union leadership to industry, the rise of corporations whose concern is profit - they demand a reduction in payroll tax claiming that this will enable them to employ more people; then they make record profits and shift jobs offshore!!!
But everyone goes bananas over a few boat loads of people fleeing our bombs and foreign policy in Iraq and Afghanistan....
What my colleague needs is selfless, unconditional love. But I aint in a position to give that. Insha Allah one day....
I hate work.
