Yes Waverley. I just had a good laugh at reading your comment. I'm happy, I'm laughing.

Thanks for your concern. And dare I write it? Yes, God bless.

Dear Waverley,

Yes of course there are happy people on the forum.
They're the ones with a sense of humour.

They're also the ones that try to avoid pointless
arguments when they see that presenting facts to
small-minded people won't achieve anything.

How on earth can you argue with -
people who are convinced of their "truth" of the
"free rides" that they think Australian Indigenous
people get. And who will tell you - exactly who is Aboriginal.
They know all about Aboriginal identity.

Serious arguing - is pointless.

However, having a sense of humour is the best antidote.

Waverley, yes of course there are happy people out there.
They're the ones with a sense of humour, BUT, some of them walk around with their head in the clouds, refusing to see the 'real' world.
There are those who use reason and common sense, who are not happy with others who walk around with their head in the clouds and use fantasy and wishful thinking in that the world is a wonderful place and want to force their perception of the fanciful as the truth on those who disagree with them, so they say, anyone who does not agree with their view of the world is small minded.
It is quite the opposite, those who dream are completely consumed with their fantasy and a totally unrealistic and 'very' narrow view on life.
It is ironic but it is they who are small minded, and will never concede that their assertions are a product of fantasy and emotion, both have been rejected by any and all scholars and academics, as irrelevant in any factual debate or discussion.
Their beliefs are best described as 'machinations', and we know where they belong.
Where-as those of us, with open minds, open to all there is to learn and discover, in the 'real' world, actually have 'real' facts and truths to pass on to anyone who also has an open mind and the ability to reason and a modicum of common sense, know the difference.
The other side have put their faith in fairy tales and emotions.
Two things that are the antithesis of maturity, common sense and reason.
And in an effort to keep on topic, these factors and these type of attitudes are also a root cause of and evil elements re; What's going wrong with our boys', today.

Before making certain assertions some people should
actually research their information so that they know
what they are talking about otherwise their
comments have no credible whatsoever. Repeating
misinformation does not add any credibility to their
statements.

It's not easy trying to control your own fate when other people
make the decisions for you and force you to abide by what they see
as "the rules" and your place in society.
