As usual it wasn’t the articles that proved most interesting this week on LIVENEWS.com.au but the lively debate that accompanied them.
Our story on a group of Russian Satanists who stabbed a teen 666 times before eating her drew widespread outrage. But maybe not for the reasons you might think, as poster ‘EnkiEa’ illustrated.
“This is not Satanism, this is a group of deluded teens lashing out, as a Satanic High Priest this storey sickens me, we are about advancement, morality and nature, events like this give real satanists a bad name.”
Hear, hear - come on guys Satanism isn’t just about the blood orgies and sacrificial eyeball popping.
And when a federal MP used parliament to complain about the beef stroganoff in the canteen our readers were outraged. Mostly at each other. Here someone is sounding off at one of our regulars Graeme Henderson.
“That's why I don't like you. Seriously, everyone is sick of your geriatric dribble you spill on here every day. Do you have a job? Probably not. People who can spend all day making up such clever nicknames for politicians like "Spinbull" clearly have their internet connection paid for by the Government. Nobody, not even your boyfriend K Rudd cares about Darling Downs.”
Clearly.
And when a number of Brisbane Broncos were supposedly caught in the toilets with a young woman recently there were some interesting perspectives, especially from ‘’BluBoi”.
“Darren, Hunt, Boyd and Thaiday are only human like everyone else who has consensual sex in the toilets, who videos friends having sex, who tries to get out of pubs with alcohol good on ya boys I just wish the media would get their story str8. Do one better this weekend and smash the storm that'll shut the media up and give them and the community something else to gossip about.”
Quite, they are only human. Just like everyone else who has consensual group sex in toilets. Allegedly.
And then there was the political stuff. As one reader put it…

And when Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted to Cheech and Chong, it was our writers that were coming under fire. As Randy Morrison put it.
“I like how Arnold has a "checkered" past because he admits to smoking pot! What about his six Olympia titles, success in real estate or college degree? I guess those things don't matter to this scumbag journalist. As long as there is something bad you can say about him he now has a "checkered past". Jesse Perez why don't you get a honorable job!”
Yes, shame Jesse Perez. Just between you and me, Randy, Jesse isn't too popular around here either.
But when it came to pension policy it suddenly got all serious and earnest.
“Hi, my name is Kayden. I am 14 and I attend Queechy High School. I would just like to say that my Pop hardly gets by with the money he gets from the pension. I think to help out the pensioners you should set aside some money because most of the pensioners have worked for almost their whole lives. I also would like to state that my Pop, like most others , is having trouble with his rent. Many people at Queechy High agree with my idea of you seting aside some money for the pensioners rent. Thanks”
How lovely. But to get back to the kooky, Bob Phillips, gets us back on track. When Germany dared to give America advice he was outraged.
“ HAHAHAHA thanks for that Germany, I needed a good laugh! Do you Eurotrash pissants honestly believe that God is on YOUR side? Puh-lease! Face it, you could never hope to compete with the glory that is the United States of America - the only nation in the world that is even better than Australia! Rule of thumb for me: If it's not America, Australia or Britain, then it's not a country I care about or want anything to do with! Long may America reign as the divinely appointed superpower of the world, forever and ever, amen! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
And so passed another few weeks at LIVENEWS.com.au.
