Hi Canem Malem,
Well it kind of seems to make sense, but I'm just not cluey enough on the in's and out's of all those particular topics.
Maybe I should dig into them since I've pretty much pushed the previous Jewish / Israel topic to somewhat of a conclusion and there's no need to push that any further;
Everyone more or less knows where I'm at.
I certainly don't wish to bring the forum or Graham Young into disrepute or turn others away, and I've gotten to have my say well and truly - and so I'm grateful for that.

Thanks Armchair Critic for your comments. There is the issue of preventing Marxist and other types of censorship and self-censorship, maintaining the integrity of the analysis from different perspectives, as well as presenting the material in a form that normal people can access, rather than disempowering academic or ideological double speak. Often the global academic aristocracy claims to empower the people but doesn't, and doesn't trust the people.

It appears that Eric Schmidt and Google has been using it's market power to censor the internet. The recent scandal with Google Gemini is an example of this. I suppose that everyone has their own particular brand of bigotry.

Hi AC,

Carrols In The Park, this Saturday, pissing down rain here at the moment, hopefully it will continue until Saturday and flood the park, giving it a real "festive atmosphere". Folks can think of the rain as melted snow. The guys on day release from the Supamax will be performing some of the old favorites, including "The 12 Murders at Xmas" (with live action taking place in the audience) you'll just love it, btw bring your own knife and gun as the bikie gang organisers will not be suppling like they did last year, they need those for their own protection. Santa will arriving about 9pm with booze for the adults, and drugs for the little ones! I can't wait!

Hi Paul,
Yes it's been raining here for a few days now.
My 200m long downward sloping driveway gets trenched out every year from the force of running water, sometimes it becomes impassable.
- not to mention we pay about $400 a quarter for water. [rolls eyes]

Yes the parks are going to be muddy slush.
You're always good for a laugh, I don't care what they say
- I'm not sure I'd put all the old-timers into the ball and chain prison work gang though [smile]

Hey Canem Malum,
I hear Elon Musks Grok comes out with some strange responses as well
