    Never said I didn't, I just wanted to know.
    There is a dramatic difference between hearing about something and experiencing something.

    I was told that there was a lot of beggers, well I think we have to many here so "a lot" could be less maybe. ... But wow was I surprised.

    Yes, the plagues will do us all in. If they're not slowed or stopped. I think I was not expressing myself clearly but I meant that as resources become scarce that capitalism will not work any longer. As for the plagues, yep, they'll do in every -ism I can think of.

    Seriously dude, I know you have some issues just gone by, but to me it appears you’re going out of your way to antagonise everybody.


    I never considered you to be partisan or just argumentative, but for some reason you seem to be trying to insult everybody about.

    You might not like it, but I suggest you take a breath and think about how your current situation is affecting your outward appearance. Just a suggestion.

    Kettle to pot. Dude, just trying to get some context. The poster seems to give us a lot of advice about how bad we are as compared to the good old USA.

    If I insulted anyone it was unintentional, just giving my opinion on hearsay.

    I do not put myself as any sort of expert on living conditions in the USA but I do for them in Australia. I have seen some small samples on two visits and have 4 cousins, 6 nieces and nephews and a brother in law there.

    Kettle... LOL



    I based that comment across many posts, take it or leave it. Just pointing out the perception I get of a change in your posts. Trying to insult me, I get, but the rest...



    Anyway, I just made and observation, perhaps this is the real you perhaps not. I simply suggested you considered your comment based upon your current distractions. I make no judgement, nor do I intend insult I just didn't think your current comments are you.

    See in your opening line you miss the point the poster you are complaining about IS an American so no matter what he thinks of Australia it will never be as good as the US and same in reverse. It is a bias of national pride and no matter how bad things appear in your nation it will always be above another. Honestly, you know this so why are you biting? His baiting only demonstrates his own foolishness in subject and you’re biting. Again this is what I am talking about.

    Anyway as I said just an observation, not intended to insult but take it as you please.

    Absolutely For :flagus: :salute: all justified.
    YOU guys are locked into a choice of one of three most senior Party hack for your Chief Executive.
    YOU can't bring is some business genius to be your Chief Executive, should you chose.
    NOR some lower party person who seemed more attractive.


    When I observe Australia it occurs to Moi, similar to :flagcanada:
    An English speaking people who just didn't quite make it to grasp the gold ring of FREEDOM.
    It must be the lack of a revolution for FREEDOM.
    Oh please Britain, may we be independent now?
    And I also observe how you sell out your nation to globalist philosophies.


    Moi :oldman:
    And I am not baiting,
    I mean it. No Devil's Advocate.
    Too dyslexic, really.
    Gotta write what I mean.
    And lucky if it reads what I wish it to say.





    Don't :flagcanada:ize Australia

    That's a funny one, Moi. Is that the freedom to keep guns that you're talking about? Or the freedom to not pay tax, the freedom to die in poverty because you're bankrupted by medical bills, the freedom to die of chronic diseases because you can't afford the medications, or the freedom to be denied a vote because you're black? Lots of great freedoms which we don't seem to miss.

    Did you have some business genius in mind? Like the one you have at present?

    Freedom is building a big wall around yourself and giving everyone a gun because you just don't know.

    Watched Phelps on C &A last night. Looks like we may finally have an intelligent and articulated person with a plan in Canberra

    Hope she hangs on through the election. Will the good burghers of Wentworth let their resentment simmer that long?
    She is a smart dame and has a long history of public service so she should be good.

    I think she will for sure ,I think everyone is getting sick of chasing ideologies over everything else. People are sick to death of the party infighting, Labor realised this but unfortunately the NLP don't seem to have heeded their own criticisms of the previous government but have repeated the same mistake but a lot messier.

    Based on how I saw her answer questions last night considering if you think she has won she has been on the job a day.

    Being at the helm of the AMA and duking it out with Michael Wooldridge gives her a bit of authority and know how.
    I think she'll be good.
    Now if we can just get Penny Wong to roll Bill, we'll be laughing!

    It is possible for Australia to get out of this mess. Pity all elections weren't centred around the candidates, in general elections the focus is more on the government which is why a lot of the major party candidates are so bad. They wouldn't stand a chance if they had to go it alone.

    Except she doesn't like our system, and I think she would like what I proposed even more

    I have to laugh at the government wanting to have assurance that the refugees if sent to NZ will never be able to come to Australia.

    They play on the ignorance of their supporters and use fear to win the point.

    They say "every one knows NZ citizens can come and go as they please". This is true to a degree


    But they say that the refugees will just turn around and come to Australia.

    It's not that easy. First they will not be NZ citizens, that if it ever happens would be a long way off, not as the NLP imply, over night.

    Why can't they just tell the truth.

    Not at my place. The local family freely wander around the garden picking out the bugs as I am weeding. The male, it is the male that does the swooping, even comes into the house.

    They are just protecting their families, something a lot of humans need to learn. We are in their space, live with it.

    Not cool.
    These birds are not cool.
    Sociopathic behaviour at best.

    Why is defending your family sociopathic?

    It’s a case of taking over protective parenting a bit too literally. Cyclists don’t tend to ride their bikes up the trees and steal magpies. That is crackers.

    Moi, we might change PMs on a regular basis but at least we don't have the problem of three co-equal arms of government. The problem with that is showing up now. Even your Supreme Court is politicised. In our system parliament is supreme and that stops the sort of co-equal capture by one party as the US has at the moment.

    Disagree.

    Earl Warren was a conservative, Republican governor of California.
    And look how conservative and Republican the Warren court was.

    Sometimes, appointees to the Supreme Court don't work out as expected.


    YOU are unable to elect a chief executive of a province to the national P.M.
    YOU are stuck with the most senior, bought politicians to choose from.
    YOU are UnFree.
