OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[JohnStoppafarty]

You're too smart for me mate. You've really stumped me there.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

When I try and "insert quotes" it brings up every quote I've ever made since the last forum refresh and inserts all of them and I can't figure out how to f**k them off. I would go on with you about this but without getting that right, I am at a disadvantage.
What about spewing beer out my nostrils and breathing it into my lungs makes you feel like I seem upset? It was hilarious and so is the memory of it. Just cos bart has started bullshitting and misrepresenting me, there is no need for you to do the same, "not pretending to be a political expert".
Just so I know, do you consider yourself to be a political expert or not? If the answer is yes, I'll never mention it again.

Just cos bart has started bullshitting and misrepresenting me,

You seem upset, whoever you are...
Show me again the bit where your request for someone to post "what the actual changes to our Constitution will be" was misrepresented?

When you press the button to "insert quotes" there is a box on the right of each quote labelled "remove", click that box to remove that quote.

Easier still, instead of using the quote function, you can highlight a section of a post as you would if you were going to copy / paste it, and an option will appear for you to select "reply", if you select reply, it'll put just that part into the response box, wherever your cursor is. Like this......

I am at a disadvantage

Clearly!

It's the part where you decided to have a shot rather than consider the merits of the response.

Here is the post to which you refer.......

I don't pretend to be an expert on politics, what I'd say is that I've always found it interesting and so have sought to gain knowledge about how shit works, and I'm more engaged with politics than the average bloke.

A lot of folk aren't really all that interested, which is fine, you've got other shit you'd rather do

......I reckon that's pretty self explanatory, if you don't understand it, I could probably dumb it down for you?

Thankyou

I still can't see the whole paragraph or yours. I have adblocker and not going to disable.

I have considered the merits. that was just a lil something for you cos you are such a smartarse to others i thought i'd give you a bit. You still didn't answer btw. We both know why.

Yes please do dumb it down for me. I'd really appreciate it if you could dumb it down as much as you possibly can. In much detail. I'd really be forever indebted to you if you could.

f**k, that's amazing! I wasn't aware of this... so much easier!

The misrepresentation is you not including the 2 sentences that followed the one you just put in quotation marks and you know it.
Don't you have someone to stalk or harass on here or some social media platform somewhere or just someone to argue semantics with just for shits n giggles?
I got my answer to my question and though not happy with that answer, am happy to realise that that is the answer. If that's ok with you?

 

[Bandwagon]

Thankyou

You're welcome

I still can't see the whole paragraph or yours. I have adblocker and not going to disable.

I can't help you there, the price of full functionality on this site is that you as a member allow ads so as the costs involved in providing the site can be covered. If you prefer to simply sponge off others, that is your choice.

I have considered the merits. that was just a lil something for you cos you are such a smartarse to others i thought i'd give you a bit. You still didn't answer btw. We both know why.

The thing is that yeah, I am a smart arse, and you're, well, not.

As for avoiding an answer, why do you think I am?

 

[the phantom menace]

What a load of waffle. Try asking for what you want clearly, in your "carefully thought out" question next time...? You were provided the Constitutional change wording, and a link to the PM press release - covering both aspects.

Don't you have someone to stalk or harass on here or some social media platform somewhere or just someone to argue semantics with just for shits n giggles?

Maybe re-read Bandwagon's post and info then, rather than start pot shots at people? Because as the recent page or so proves it simply comes back your way and then some.

I got my answer to my question and though not happy with that answer, am happy to realise that that is the answer. If that's ok with you?

It's ok with me. But it doesn't explain why you haven't f**ked back off yet, and still seem to want to argue about... nothing?

I have the LU ad experience before and am not going back there any time soon. A bit rich of you to accuse me of sponging off others when the site can't get that right to the degree that the site become nearly unusable at times because of it.

The thing is that yeah, I am a smart arse, and you're, well, not.

I'm not trying to be, at the moment.

As for avoiding an answer, why do you think I am?

I think you are avoiding it because you are pissweak. I can't think of any other logical reason why so that is what I think. Is there an alternative answer?

Not disabling your adblocker to use the site, and then complaining about why the functionality doesn't work? Sounds like you're a born No voter then...

 

[the phantom menace]

Worth reading in full... written by a Labor Voice (now former) "skeptic":

The movie that erased my doubts about the Voice

If there was someone on the Labor side who needed assurance, it might have been me – but not after the opening scene of this one film.

www.smh.com.au

“The survivors of this are saying that all they want is a pipeline to parliament called the Voice. That’s all? Only access? Just give it to them. No argument. No delay.”

...

It’s time to let kindness have its day in public policy.

The site has had some issues in that regard, however is now perfectly usable, and guess what, fixing them isn't free of cost.

I think you are avoiding it because you are pissweak. I can't think of any other logical reason why so that is what I think. Is there an alternative answer?

Well if I was pissweak, as you say, why would I re-post it here?

That wouldn't seem at all logical

The alternative answer is that I'm not avoiding anything, and answered your question in the manner I saw fit.

What a load of waffle. Try asking for what you want clearly, in your "carefully thought out" question next time...? You were provided the Constitutional change wording, and a link to the PM press release - covering both aspects.

Waffle? It was carefully thought out as I know there are parrots around here who would just regurgitate the inconclusive shite that I read in the AEC pamphlet a month ago . PM Press release! Ohh puhleaase!

Maybe re-read Bandwagon's post and info then, rather than start pot shots at people? Because as the recent page or so proves it simply comes back your way and then some.

I only fired potshots due to my frustration at people (mainly you) directing me to info that I clearly implied I had already read and was not satisfied with and was therefore seeking further clarification only for you to ignore that and parrot what the PM press release said.
As far as the recent page or so goes I'm holding my own there IMO.

It's ok with me. But it doesn't explain why you haven't f**ked back off yet, and still seem to want to argue about... nothing?

Rest assured I will f**k off back there soon enough. If you would like to expedite that, stop responding.
Are we arguing about nothing? If we are, why are you so opinionated about it and so dogged in your commentary about it not only to me but all others with questions before me? ...

Boo hoo. Sounds like you needed to look in the mirror first, and amend your "carefully thought out question" before resorting to the pot shot?

As far as the recent page or so goes I'm holding my own there IMO.

You would think so... again a mirror might prove useful.

Rest assured I will f**k off back there soon enough. If you would like to expedite that, stop responding.

Personally I don't care... but you seem to protest in every post you're making tonight?

Are we arguing about nothing? If we are, why are you so opinionated about it and so dogged in your commentary about it not only to me but all others with questions before me? ...

The one thing I'm opinionated at all about tonight is that you've well and truly goosed yourself onhere by taking a potshot after receiving what should have been a helpful answer to your question - rather than simply admitting your "carefully thought out" question was anything but.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

I buy the stuff I need. What I buy is not swayed by advertising. I'm much more likely to Not buy something from an annoying ad that I saw so am doing your advertisers a favour by not watching them. They should pay you for that privilige.

Well if I was pissweak, as you say, why would I re-post it here?

Maybe because you thought that I would elaborate on why I thought you were pissweak in not answering (and I am happy to, just not yet lol).

That wouldn't seem at all logical

It's totally logical to me and I'm sure it is for you too.

The alternative answer is that I'm not avoiding anything, and answered your question in the manner I saw fit.

Alternately, It's totally illogical and you did answer in the manner you saw fit and that was to not answer at all. Not bad for a non smart arse eh?

And here we are, both of us, arguing about nothing. Your words. To me it's something. You'll never know what that is because I won't tell you. I will tell you this though, I'd be much happier living in this country 300 yrs ago and all that's involved with that. You wouldn't last 5 minutes. You'd probably eat your own totem and then be shunned by your people for eternity just like how you are on here. You f**kn Wombat!

Have you been on the rums Stoppa?

 

[hineyrulz]

Where have I been? I've been up to London to look at the Queen. What did I there? I frightened a little mouse, under her chair.
Yeah I got a bit jaded and disinterested about continuing to participate here about 3 yrs ago for various reasons. I have been lurking but decided to post in the hope that the resident brains trust might have some answers I'm looking for but alas, not to be by the looks of it.
Cheers mate, love your work.

Yeah if you don’t think the club and Brad Arthur are the greatest ever you are viewed as toxic by the cheer squad. Bit like if you ask any questions about the Voice which is going to totally transform the country the better supposedly. And if people don’t think the voice isn’t going to divide the country even further they are kidding themselves especially if the No vote gets up.

 

[Gronk]

I think this thread in the last 24 hours demonstrates that “I just don’t understand it” can be both a genuine position by the undecided and also used by the absolute noers to obfuscate and confuse what is (was) a very simple proposition.

Yes Iam disappointed that they are allowed to wrestle, lay all over and strip in the ruck. I’m watching it in real time and there’s nothing I can do about it.

These sort of socially progressive policies are important to me, as was SSM, and I understand that to others this topic may very well be of little importance to their lives.

I just want a fair fight and TBH this broke my heart on the weekend. The guy who came out not too long ago sharing his trauma over his treatment on “hey, hey” posts below, indicates to me that the NO propaganda has got to him. Apartheid ? Dude.
