TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

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.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

    * 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.
