Non Footy Chat Thread II

[Gary Gutful]

The one thing that I do now about the phsycology of politics is that no matter where a person actually sits on the spectrum, their personal assessment would be that they hover around the centre.

I would put myself just left of centre and I assume that you would put yourself just right of centre. In reality that probably is not the case for either of us. Even a reader of this post is probably thinking the same (being a centrist) yet it is probably not as accurate as they would think.

I have taken this quiz with respect to the AU Federal Election. It’s an interesting process and I think it narrows down on where you sit on the spectrum.

This is where I ended up. I reckon its pretty accurate.

its Sunday morning, everyone is at church

Generally Twiz, are we down in numbers ? You’d know.

Any and all political discussions these days seem to end up as a series of statements parroted from random anthropomorphic billboards by people who champion one "side" of the spectrum like they're supporters of a footy side.

Dumb.

Been a member here for over 15 years. Never seen it like this. The participation levels are at its lowest. The place is dying and it’s sad. @Twizzle have you ever seen it this quiet ?

Why do you say it's quiet?
I've just come in for the first time since I went to bed at about midnight and this forum has hundreds of new posts.

I'm really just worried I'll walk into Braddon Maccas when parliament is in session and see our old mate the night watchman sprawled in front of the counter with his dacks full... Would just put me totally off my 33 post booze cheeseburgers

This is where I am. Are you guys surprised?

 

[Avenger]

Am I a slightly left wing Liberal?

Or hungover

No you are nestled between the right and far right conservatives. Your social views are more out there than your economic views.

 

[Happy MEel]

I reckon this is a pretty fair summation of where I sit.

Does this make me a fence-sitter @Gary Gutful ?

Almost same spot as me

I recall Alan Bond who was on on top of his game with the Americas Cup etc was suddenly a shadow of his former self when he faced court for the cluster f**k that was the $1.2b collapse of Bell Resources. He had dementia and could hardly walk. He went to jail anyway and immediately got better.

Not sure I get how this was "staged"?

Julian's crazy look? Shaved head and scraggly beard? The "staging" is about him putting on a "Oh, I've gone insane. I don't know what's going on!" thing? So he can't be held accountable? Get a reduced sentence?

Something like that? Or am I missing it altogether?

Not really. I would have put you somewhere in that quadrant.

Agree. Its a good story but it needs more paedophile pizzas, George Soros and Atlantis.

Seen many many forums die off as Facebook and other social media sites got stronger and stronger over the past 10 years. Surprised LU is still around and many members still very active
