The off topic thread #2

Jacqui Lambie - reading about her now. Interesting story for sure. Very religious so very conservative.

you read up on Hansen?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

she genuinely cares mate, one of a handful in parliament.

Won't her party and Pauline Hanson's split the vote on the right though? Both parties seem practically the same thing.

Lambie obviously has a bit of a problem with Islam. Have you got the same sort of divisions down there that can be seen in Europe?

Got the wiki page open now

Lambie issue is with shakira law.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Yeah interesting. Weird how both women have such similar backgrounds. They seem like parties that would be fringe ones in the U.K. - more like the old BNP rather than UKIP.

I wouldn't have thought they would get anything like the votes required to become mainstream let alone form a Government- but I guess we are living in strange times.

Didn't realise immigration was a concern in Australia - always thought you had a strict points-based system to control it. Both parties allude to your country being "swamped" by Asians.

Australias is full of racists. Especially in the bush.

Lambie is by far the biggest idiot i've ever seen given any sort of air time. Not just in politics but in life in general. And thats saying something considering the amount of peanut sports people out there!

Think Hanson is worse personally.

Australias is full of racists. Especially in the bush.

There's a fine line between racist, nationalist and patriotism though. Don't help when people are the latter but get called the former (especially racist).

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Hansen is a campaigner

 

[WealstoneRaider]

FAITH i think you'll like this bloke

What's Shaqira done?

 

[SM]

Lads if we can have a sensible debate on Trump then I'm all for it. None of this "racist" shit being thrown which only leads to me calling you snowflakes and gets us nowhere.

No one seems to be willing to have a proper debate on it without getting overly emotional

As I said mate, I have no issue with what you post - in the sense that it's your opinion - but some are blatantly just doing it to get their jollies off and have no interest in an actual discussion.

 

[Loonerty]

So...

I watched La La Land the other night. It was okay. Definitely well made, but I just wasn't connecting with the story at all.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

I saw Manchester by the sea. It was also ok

Faith is entitled to her opinions mate, everyone is. If we could all accept we have different opinions the world wouldn't be such a hostile place

 

[Quivorir]

I see...

 

[Cruyff14]

Account exec role opening up at my work. Gonna go for it. I interview very well which is always a great thing to have on your side.

I don't expect to get it, but I would like to.

You sound like Bendtner

Good luck with that - don't let complacency slip in though

What was your favourite movie from 2016, Quiv?

Did you see the "First Contact" one he did where they took various well known identities (including a former one nation politician) who had never encountered any indigenous people into outback Australia and introduced them? Pretty interesting stuff.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It's not the trump stuff I'm talking about mate. Lambie and Hansen are barely human.

Hahaha Lambie is a bloody bogan.
