Woke. There is a term that pisses me off to the absolute max when used the way the right do. If it's woke to respect others then I'm woke. If it's woke to allow people to choose who they are, who they love and what they believe then I'm woke. If it's woke to understand that my view isn't the...

The biggest issue for me now is the credibility he gives to arseholes. It's never been more easy to find like minded fools to confirm that your twisted view of the world is right. At least before there was an attempt to moderate... now it's no holds barred. Twitter is a massive and powerful tool...

In a world where influence and power has zero relationship to intelligence and responsibility, Elon Musk has surely become the most dangerous man in the world. The validation and acceptance he continues to provide to extremists and bigots and racists and white supremacists is terrifying. And...

So I'm not sure how much you know of it but Simon Holmes A Court is helping to provide a platform, structure... and I guess credibility to a substantial group of independent candidates primarily across Vic and NSW. By giving them structure and essentially the know how, being an independent...

Yeah I know... I expected too much. Just the sight of Plibersek thinking she actually had something to brag about was what really shocked me. It was like she genuinely thought Labor had done the right thing. The response from Labor voters on twitter was astounding and brutal. 99% were incredibly...

I cannot express how utterly frustrated I am and the fury that I feel in seeing Tanya Plibersek go onto Twitter beating her chest about changing the religious discrimination bill. This was Labors chance to show us what sort of Government it would be. And now we know. Spineless. Business as...

Sigh, you have to think the Dem's have snookered themselves again. My social media is blaming Biden for the close result. Wrong. Biden is who he is. It's the unbeleivably f****ed up Dems who screw this up time and time again. Picking Biden almost seemed to me that they were throwing this...

The world is such a small place now there was never a chance of stopping this. None. Zilch. People were infected before we knew what Covid 19 was. They were carrying the disesase, spreading it and people were dying before we named it. There won't be a populus untouched by this disease regardless...

I like most expected Labor to romp it in. If fact I told some I thought it would be a bloodbath. But like most that came from a place of poll driven expectation rather than reality. This whole blame Qld line is not only factually wrong, it's really a pretty silly argument. Plenty of blue and...

I hope this helps, and I'm no expert by any stretch but this should be close... QLED technology is simply a different way to emit the light needed to produce a picture. Typically the biggest advantage is that even though there are variations in their use, QLED use smaller nano particles to emit...

And yet state Labor just approved Olive Grove coal mine at Moranbah today. The reality is the coal presents a far bigger challenge to Labor than it does to the LNP. The LNP's relationship is obvious. But Labors candidates for Flynn and Capricornia have TV ad's directly targeting the support of...

Sorry thats a massive typo on my part - it should have said "NOT" bloody sure... Yes I think I'll be doing the 12 + under the line too... 6 above the line is a huge ask.

Speaking of the Senate - I find the concept of the "Flux" Party attractive. For those who don't know the concept is pretty simple - the elected representatives don't actually take a platform or agenda to the senate - they rely on an app where each bill or at least a synopsis of it is sent to...

The new senate voting requirements are dangerous if you ask me and I can see a whole heap of people/parties installed when it was actually the last thing people wanted. The mismatch between how you vote for the house of reps and the new requirement of having to vote for 6 parties in the senate...

Cheers mate thank you. Yep, I think you are dead right... envy. How much of all the greif is caused by that one single emotion - and for things that are so superficial like you say. Or worse still - in reality often non existent. I'm stoked you have those things in your life to bring you that...

Thanks TBD, appreciate it. I actually felt a bit empty after it which is sort of ironic. Best I go back to Facebook, Insta and Twitter where I can vent my spleen in complete anonymity and feel better about myself :tonguewink:

Yeah you are right - I suppose I just think it's never been easier for those people to cause pain to others, regardless of how they choose to do it, and worse - find each other. But I do fully understand where you are coming from and really I agree. As a rule we tend to murder each other less...

:tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy: I wish I could give you a thousand for that... I'm in tears!!

It's interesting - I've heard some say we reached peak "happiness" in the 50's & 60's - you knew your neighbours, there were street parties, money was reasonable plentiful, people valued friends and family more with war freshly imprinted on the psyche simple things were held true and dear...

I despair at the amount of people in blissful ignorance of One Nations chaotic rampage through our democracy. Truly intelligent people still believe she's "not that bad and just stirring things up" all the while utterly bereft off any real idea of what they stand for or the dangerously inept yet...

Not to be confrontational but do you really believe that in your heart of hearts? Maybe mainstream society has, maybe not... but I can't help but think we are only 1 truly charismatic leader away from uniting the extremists. Which I really don't think is anything new mind you. I just don't see...

The extremes of both sides serve a really important role to me- they centre the rest of us. Issues that once seemed extreme now seem normal as a result of the 2 groups cyclically dragging politics from one side to another. It's interesting that the left typically use social media and the right...

Has Australian politics ever been more comical? One side have redefined inept and continue to do so with baffling recurrence and the other side are utterly stale, making themselves small targets and will win by default. This is the time for Labor to have some balls. Stand for something...

The biggest issue with whats going on today is the complete disconnect between politics and population. If these right wing conservatives believe they represent middle Australia they're missing the obvious. The idea the population has swung to the right just doesn't add up. 35 odd polls put the...

See that's the thing about politics. I just watched a conservative MP suggest he represented middle Australia. He was adamant that he represented the majority of Australian's who he said were traditionally conservative. In pretty much the same way you clearly think you are right in saying Labor...

As, I guess, a notionally economic conservative, socially progressive voter, the despair I feel now looking at Canberra has progressed to anger. The selfish, egotistical, revenge driven charade of modern politics has reached it's lowest ebb. The actions of the self indulgent, spiteful, entitled...

See, all I get when I read that is short shortsightedness and bureaucratic BS. There's short term expediency and long term efficiency. Because we have a media driven political system, and one that's devolved into popularity contests, nearly everything is now done with short term expediency in...

Lately I've been thinking that the whole tax debate from both sides misses the point of what most reasonable citizens think and is just another example of both parties in reality being disconnected from their core supporter bases despite making protests the contrary. No one likes paying TOO...

Waiting patiently for season 4 to hit Netflix... :rolleyes:

We started thinking exactly the same thing... Season 2 got lost in the middle episodes for a while there, bogged down in the presidential like you say, but it gets it's mojo back towards the end thankfully.
