Aristotle after Aristotle
|Saturday 1.35pm repeated Monday 1.35pm
)
Just a few centuries after their deaths, Plato was thought
questionable while his pupil Aristotle was all but canonised: there
was almost a fear of criticising him. Everybody used his logic and
Christians were drawn to him by his arguments about a first cause of
all things. This week Han Baltussen from the University of Adelaide
looks at the legacy of Aristotle and at why that legacy was worth
preserving.

He spots the gin and seeing that her fanny is fly-blown, decides to give her
one up the arse.
Some of his spunk seeps through and a few months later Malcom Fabian enters
the world through that fly blown orifice.
At birth Malcom received a good dose of blow fly eggs and freshly hatched
maggots.
It is a well known fact that abbos are not known for their bravery. In fact
history has proven that they are culturally a COWARDLY race.
Hence their propensity to beat up old ladies, rape and even murder them.
History can provide numerous instances of this.
Now lets look at Malcom's Paki heritage.
It is also a well documented fact that Pakis are not the bravest souls on
this earth. In fact they are a down right cowardly lot. Hence there
propensity to blow other people up with bombs strapped to themselves.
Just look at recent events in India where Paki trained and bred Islamic shit
massacared dozens of innocent civilians in Lahore, India.
Now when you put these two lots of genes together you end up with a super
cowardly race of individuals just like Malcom Fabian of 5 Pfieffer Court, Mt
Barker, South Australia.
Malcom sees NOTHING WRONG with Islamic radicals like this arselifter at Fort
Hood, Nidal Malik Hasan, who murdered more than a dozen individuals. Malcom
in fact applauds this COWARDLY action.
Malcom's dementure is further exacerbated by the fact that he has become
obsessed by the Islam cult and as a result of his arselifting ways, the blow
flies have thrived in his arse especially due to the fact that there are
numerous TAG-NUTS surrounding his un-wiped arse.
