    Latham, I was absolutely gobsmacked that he joined One nation. He is rather intelligent, make no mistake but most don’t get his points.


    Balance is the important point and you echo that point, I see. Bringing you back to the premise, as I don’t disagree with your comment, “the internet you surf, the posts you make that allows you ^^^ opinion” Maybe out of context but the point is that is YOUR (for emphasis, nothing more) opinion. Talk of being a lynch mob when people DO post a depraved opinion is rather unbalanced.

    Isn't that funny, you must be in full election mode. Trying to make ALP out as moral imperatives. And they wonder why Australians turn away from these types. Is that an HONEST OPINION, or just the echo of labor drone....


    SO let us know when you want to return to the topic…

    The problem re climate change is there are other factors at play, and that is that the superpowers are viciously competing for resources, it makes any efforts Australia make ito climate change insignificant. It also means that we stack the cards against ourselves in a competitive global environment if these giants (US,China, France, Germany, Russia etc) don't all commit to the same restrictions.

    As far as the environment goes we need to make sure our own backyard is fixed (The Murray Darling Basin especially) other than that I will just say that it's a difficult topic for me in general, I couldn't even find myself to comment in EarhSky's thread re the UN report on extinction of species. Mainly because I'm still trying to come to terms with the destruction of South Africa's river systems (thousands of litres of sewage running into the systems wiping out all life dependant on those rivers, water species, birds and other animals that drink from those rivers)

    Well the internet surfing was the least important part in that post :lol: Colonialism brought far more important things than just the internet.

    I will add that the Colonised civilisation we live in today feeds millions of people and leftists who attack this system, threatens the lives of millions of people indirectly. If this system were to be dismantled who will feed all these people.

    Also,

    Unfortunately for Aboriginals.... they were going to be colonised, if not by the British then potentially by Indonesia, even perhaps Japan. A bit the case of choose your poison for them....

    Reference the topic I was replying to a post, with reference to the ALP, what are you talking about, I never mentioned the ALP or any reference to them.

    Election mode, excuse me, I have been preaching the same line for years.

    Even though I myself have a science degree, it is in biochemistry and information technology. The science of climate change is not my field so I have no comment. However the chemistry of life IS my field. There are two remarkable things about the chemistry of a living thing, everything that happens, every thought, every movement, every reaction, every word we utter is due to an immense orchestrated concert of chemical reactions.

    Just typing this post there are millions of reactions to extract energy from glucose to power nerve cells, neurons, muscles, the respiratory system, the circulatory system. My thoughts and emotions that inspire me to divert energy or to fire up synapses, contract muscles, focus my eye are all the results of chemistry.

    Now as a biochemist I understand these reactions intimately, some reactions have very little tolerance for error, extremely small tolerance to variations in concentration of reagents to variations in temperature or a combination of factors that sometimes seem totally unrelated.

    The average person doesn't understand some of the complex interactions in a chemical environment. We are told that global temperature is going to rise by 2 degrees so we just turn our air-con up 2 degrees and say "That's not too hot, I can live with that.". The problem is that like our own bodies, some ecosystems will not survive at a change in temperature of 2 degrees.

    True some will evolve and others we seem to not need, seem not know. The result could be catastrophic and irreversible.

    If that aligns with the ALP then good for them. I am looking at the science.

    Well Yes it was the least important, and as I said I don't disagree with the comment. I was just bringing it back to the thread from the point made.

    I don't really want to give the chance for race issues and hatred to steal the premise of the thread, that is all.

    Yeah, Yeah, we get it, you want to go back and claim you’re not a party drone, except the trolling of threads with ALP propaganda... Doesn't matter if you mention them here but you have previously on many threads, stop pretending you change your stance with every new comment.

    Yeah election mode.

    Yeah, while I take this comment with the grain of salt it deserves, I again say, when you return to the topic let us know.

    Let me explain something to you, a well-educated person (you claim to be) would be well aware of, you can claim to be anything anonymously, but all it shows is fraud. As Shorten had his wife tell the world “Bill is really a feminist” if we have to be told how well you’re educated, generally speaking the reality is opposite. You don’t convince me you’re anything of the sort. SO I take this comment with the grain of salt it deserves.

    However, once again it does not mean your opinion is worthless, just the assertion that it does not need defence due to your education (as you claim here) does not stand…

    While I agree that SM is fast becoming Orwellian, it's still a choice.

    My recommendation would be to boycott it, wholesale. It's bad enough for ordinary citizens, but lethal for anyone with an eye to public office. If you want the power to lead .. keep your nose clean. Don't drink, don't smoke, stay married, stay faithful, raise good kids who won't make you look bad, stay off ALL social media, and don't associate with anyone who isn't leading the same sort of life. You need to earn power.

    Most people cheat on their tax so we all should, most people run orange lights so we all should. The argument is kinda like "well they are jumping off the cliff, we should".

    So you don't refute anything I say just my right to say it and the validity of my credentials
    You as usual are letting your personal opinion of me cloud your judgement, I mean I can say until the cows come home that over my life my vote has been 75% Liberal/ National 20% independent and about 5% ALP.

    I have left jobs due to compulsory union membership requirements and I have never been a member of a union ,ever. I have been a member of the chamber of commerce.

    I vote for the person who I believe will represent my electorate before I even consider their ideology.

    I am getting sick of your self righteous judgements of people's motivation rather than the content of what they have to say.

    Gary, quite honestly, you are more a distraction rather than a contributor

    No, I don't refute it in this thread as it is not about your own personal agenda. I don't even refute your right to say it or your credetials. what I so refute is your supposed beleif we should believe your word on matters because YOU say your credentials are so high...

    So you say, yet your words are just that, YOUR WORDS.

    Self-righteous… that is funny when you post claims of how righteous you claim to be while trying to categorise others you oppose… what was it???
    Again, just your words and nothing more than attempt to insult rather than address issues.

    Oh wait, do you consider MY opinion on your pretence as an issue??? Maybe it is, fact is YOU decided to impose YOUR belief into a subject not related.

    Yeah, Your hatred doesn’t go by without highlighting. That is a distraction when all you do is troll…

    LOL... nothing to do with me??? Well that really is trolling isn't. in fact I would call it the epitome of trolling. Just in case your highly educated personage doesn't know it, that means the absolute definition.

    In case you too foolish to note, I created the thread. I do think what is said in the thread has something to do with me... But hey, shutting down discussion is another troll trait. So again your foolish attempt to insult is again reflective…

    I couldn't care less. This is what he shared:

    [​IMG]

    Kinda funny I suppose. Certainly nothing aggressive in any way. Leave the guy alone, he has done 100% nothing wrong.

    I am very worried that social media will give us a world where only the children of career politicians, sanitised since birth and destined for office, are able to get in. Anyone else would have said something mildly controversial on the internet at some point.

    I think we are talking about 2 different people. but that alone is not the reason they have been ridiculed, it was actually several posts over several different things. However, they have been sacked, they are gone, enough said.



    However. the social media making career politicians??? I think the point is that social media is voluntary... demonising the media due to the fact it reaches more people than standing in speeches is like complaining the rumours that you started yourself are spreading...

    this type of thing is not new to the world just the media and the amount of people it reaches. Numb nut attends racist rallies on the dime of the tax payer we find out by third of forth hand information. People make decisions to support or oppose the numb nut. Social media he posts his racist views and we all see it and can immediately condemn or condone his comments. That is the difference.

    Career politicians, no we already have them but what it does do is provide the populist, conviction less, self-interested governments and oppositions… ERR… we have today … OMG they are here already and it didn’t take social media to get them…
