OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[T.S Quint]

Would you let someone in to your house wearing a t-shirt that had the word f**k so boldly plastered across the front of it?

It depends who it is.
If it's Grace Tame? Sure.

If it's Rupert Murdoch? Nah, he can f**k off. He can't come in my house no matter what hes wearing.

My eldest daughter could read it. She could understand it. She could say it (and she has before), and I would tell her that's a grown-up word for grown-ups to use. However if she said "f**k Rupert Murdoch" then I'd probably let that one go.

For real?

You've now confirmed the previous impressions I had about you...

Let's just move along from here.

I think the Left are definitely more aggressive with there views and weaponise there opinions a lot more to the general public.

Is that Right or Wrong well that's for other people to judge.

One things for sure i dont think the world has never been more divided then it is now.

I'm perfectly happy to move on, sure.

However, I am intrigued as to what your impressions of me are.

A lefty? Sure.
An idiot? Maybe.
Someone who hates Rupert Murdoch? Absolutely.

No more so than the right.
It just seems that way to you because you're not on the left.

Are we going to see corporate types, bankers, stockbrokers etc etc demonstrating outside Labor conferences or is that just the domain of trade union goons like the CFMEU etc at anything remotely considered right wing?

Why would the elite right demonstrate when they can simply sit down with the government and express their views?

Demonstrations and activism is the domain of the powerless pleb, Lobbying and access is the domain of those with power and money.

If for a second you believe the latter has cleaner hands than the former, you're a fool.

And @hindy111, I saw another alien craft the night before last:




Close up:



I was Ok to be beamed up and I can help with directions, but I’m not too keen on this probing business.

I suppose my Tigers members cap is akin to a F**k t shirt. Might have offended the greys to the extent of blowing up the world.

Missed the protest today…

 

[Incorrect]

So you pretend you are polite with people you're not familiar with, but swear like a sailor else-wise?

If that's the takeaway you ended up with from my posts then go with that.



"Hyperbole much??!!!"

That looks like the new Chinese drones. I think you're being followed by Jinping.

Corporate types aren’t the only people on the right
Plenty of evangelical idiots raging in front of abortion clinics and such.

The corporate types don’t need to protest. They want change, they just buy it.

 

[Gary Gutful]

May I ask what is so wrong with having certain leftist views?
Is it just because it doesn't align with your opinions?
It's actually ok to have different opinions.

Nothing. Its an insult that he throws around when he is out of his depth intellectually, which he very much was in his discussion with Bandwagon.

He tried it on me once and I had to point out that I nearly always vote LNP.

Is that a fact….

A lady of principles.

Interesting graph from the OECD showing the real impact on living standards that Albo, Bowen and Chalmers have created since being elected .

What's this got to do with Delboys post? Nothing really. His graph is showing what's changed in the last 5yrs not where it sits currently.
