Michaelk apart from quoting parts of my posts in your last post
you have said absolutely nothing and propelled the debate no where.

So to elevate debate once again I will offer rhyme.

Michaelk, do you plan to no avail,
In everything you attempt (and fail).
Maybe limericks would be more your line
You could write the ridiculous and asinine
However, I think you lack the skill
To contribute anything but - swill.

Veryself, thanks for the French lesson. I always detested the subject at school and am happy to defer to your obvious preoccupation with grandstanding.

As it is, I am quite happy with “Col Rouge”. It has a ring to it which would be lost if translated into “Gaelic obtuse”.

As for “Cause and effect, such a pain in the bum for ideologues.”

I recall, when I arrived in Australia, Medicare did not exist. It was the invented by Hawke and his band of “pain in the bum ideologues”.

Cause was
To burden Australian tax and medicare payers with an inefficient funding model
Enshrine union power into another area of public services ( Bob paying off his “masters”)

Effect was to
Destroy an efficient and productive private medical insurance system which delivered better value for money to service users.

Medicare, the insurance premiums would be higher but the service would be better and the premiums offset by savings in the medicare levies and the value of tax reduced by not paying into state sponsored hospitals and other medical services (which is the most inefficient of service models, totally lacking in accountability or “reward based on performance” with no incentive to improve, through better practice, eg the hallowed and sacrosanct Victorian “nurse to bed ratio”).

Want to bring up any other reasons for nationalisation of what is better left a private service?

The “nationalised best system” has produced a worse user outcomes than a private “user decides” system for one simple reason
Public bureaucracies have no direct or real accountability or need to perform. They are just the obsession of stupid and meddlesome socialists.

With regard to Col Rouge attempts to rhythm his redneck assumptions towards an Australian – “even might be a migrant”:

-He perfectly perverts my posts as he had obviously nothing substantial to reply, but playing English – and it’s a very steady instant approach of him “discussing” in the forum
-He instantly persists on imaginable in his ill brain rather than follows a line of topics
-He simply offends –deliberately and provocatively- participants whose connections do not allow them to posses at least as much as his “network” –read: elite mafia- allows him to share from public coffins.

And what does one nonentity playing the hid under a famous public figure deserve?
Read the papers on preventing the terrorist activities in Australia.

Michaelk
“He perfectly perverts my posts as he had obviously nothing substantial to reply, but playing English”

Now let us see what I “perverted”

Quoted from previous post by michaelk –

1 “It is none of any business surely as far as one is not paid for particular Internet activities – at least spreading propaganda mentioned already.”

2 “You are unconditionally sure that the Labour will reign if a son of a railway worker to rule..”

These sentences are so ill formed and perversions of the rules of English grammar as to render them complete “nonsense”.

What you have written displays a profound ignorance of English and its use. I would, normally, excuse such in anyone for whom English is a second language. However, I will not excuse it in someone who accuses me of “perverting” it.

As for
3 “-He instantly persists on imaginable in his ill brain rather than follows a line of topics”

“ill brain” hardly – that would be at best the pot calling the kettle “black” but in this case is merely a poorly structured insult, presumably from a poorly equipped brain.

Finally
4 “participants whose connections do not allow them to posses at least as much as his “network” –read: elite mafia- allows him to share from public coffins.

And what does one nonentity playing the hid under a famous public figure deserve?.”

…This is just more dysfunctional drivel!

Michaelk – if you want to challenge what I write, feel at liberty to do so but when you do, it is always a good debating strategy to ensure such challenges are lucid and legible.
What you write is so grammatically incomprehensible and of such poor quality as to defeat any persons capacity to interpret what you actually mean.
In short, “written English” is a fabulous media of communication.

Unfortunately, what you have written exists beyond the most generous of definitions for “written English” and equally fails to qualify as "communication".

Last Col Rouge message once again testifies to a racist theories underlying wellbeing of local ”Australian” establishment.

That is a biological interference of those writing and speaking English differently then a particular caste Col Rouge belongs to does.

However, a problem is wider. This is a mentality of a supreme race this gang practically imposts in that part of a British Commonwealth, a mentality of ill-educated if any degree at all, narrow-minded rednecks passing upon generations at a very laugh of the rest of a modern world their PRIVILEGES obtained ages ago too often by, hm hm hm, a p p e a s i n g the overseas sovereigns.

Your intentionally undeveloped by local educators (can they anyway do better?) brain does not allow gauging information provided anyway, Col.Rouge.

Surely, this dark ages bushland irrelevant to third millennium mentality does not allow comprehending more complicated issues among which a predominant number of topics in this forum deliberated.

And Spell Check shows no problems with MY English at all

Michaelk, there is nothing “racist” in my post at all. Some English born people exercise as equally poor use of English as you do. However, they have the manners and good sense not to parade their ignorance here.

Much of the rest of your drivel is in the same asinine and small-minded manner of the intellectually under-equipped criticising there betters (in the context of English Language appreciation), who can write English with a degree of fluency. I am absolutely certain if I were to attempt to write in your first language, I would be as bad at it as you are in English.
However, the official language of Australians and this website is “English”, regardless of how inferior your use of it is.

There is nothing “racist” in being able to construct English sentences and use English grammar correctly. I would further note, “spell check” does not validate “grammar” or syntax.

So, if you do not want me to "get critical", I would suggest you stop preparing your feasts of grammatic titbits for me to chew up and spit out.

For instance “Surely, this dark ages bushland irrelevant to third millennium mentality does not allow comprehending more complicated issues among which a predominant number of topics in this forum deliberated.”

I was going to "translate" the above into "English" but this collection of "words" is so senseless, any competent translation would require assumptions to there dubious “reasoning”.

If you think there is anything “racist” in my criticism of your pathetic and blatently inadequate comprehension and juvenile use of “Pidgin English” I suggest you take it to the administrator of this website or to the Equal Opportunity Commissioner but before you do remember this –

Having a more than adequate education, including a reasonably thorough understanding of English grammar, developed from a natives fluency; compared to being blatantly “ignorant” and “stupid”, is not “racist”.

- Although, anyone of average IQ or better, would certainly concede, it is “Superior”.

I am eventually supposed to be grateful for being equalized with “some English born people” who “exercise as equally poor use of English as you do”.

However, my English is good enough for publishing my scientific and socio-political works in Anglo-sphere editions worldwide, Australia inclusively.

“However, they have the manners and good sense not to parade their ignorance here”, which had most recently been demonstrated in Sydney –and every day by local employers and “Australian educators” by intentionally preparing non-Anglo-Celts to be off and instantly keeping non-Anglo-Celts ouside an Australian job market if even any shadow of it still exists in this English colony, where “poor use of English” surely means ideas and creativity of professionals speaking English in various accents.

A rest of a Col. Rouge’s usual racist tautology covered with useless -mates-pay-playing-democracy-EOC mentioning is not worth even a sec of my time to reply.
