Title: Overton Window Fan Club
Post by: Placid Dingo on November 07, 2010, 10:21:16 AM
Asylum Seekers in Australia

    * Unthinkable: Execution on arrival
    * Radical: Immediate return to origin
    * Acceptable: Reduced turnaround for cases.
    * Sensible: Improved conditions and monitoring for mental health.
    * Popular: Off shore processing
    * Policy: Mandatory Detention on arrival.

Am I doing it right?

Didn't Little Johnny once get the SAS to put a hole in an asylum seeker's ship?

I don't think execution upon arrival is necessarily that radical at all, considering...

I haven't heard that in particular, no, but there was a ship sinking that led to the 'children overboard issue'.

I saw execution as being impossible for our government to implement so I threw it in unthinkable.

Apparently Glenn Beck is part of your fan club.

Implied connection to Glen Beck on internet forum

    * Unthinkable: Have Beck assasinated.
    * Radical: Make scene. Leave forum. Renounce Discordianism forever.
    * Acceptable: Avoid the issue.
    * Sensible: Respond somewhat flippantly
    * Popular: Summarise  issue through amusing jpg
    * Policy: Acknowledge the Beck book, but deny connection.

No, assasinating Glen Beck is quite thinkable, I'd put it at the "radical" stage at the very least, personally I think it would be sensible.
