Good on ya Gibo! your first post and expression about your thoughts was spot on.
In threads condemning firms for putting profits before people you talk like a brover or maybe a comrade?
Our Kev may he rule forever might shed some light on Harold Holt did that sub pick him up?

Gibo

You are correct no-one sees any threat to the Rudd government via communism. But I cannot guarantee that the threat of space invaders will be halted any time soon.

Col - you dear man, FYI

SATIRE: the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule

I hope this helps. But be warned ONLY socialists use satire, so if you ever find yourself indulging in such behaviour I recommend you grab that bottle off CJ.

Gibo, I have to admit that you're almost there when you predict a government that persecutes its people. The only addition to that is that we already have one. After the election we exchanged a group of over-bearing, greedy, selfish scum under one banner for much the same under another banner. Today's greatest swear word is 'politician'.

As for your constant references on most threads of the coming apocalypse, BWAHAHAHAHAHA! (Skeletor's laugh).

CJ Moron “Keep railing on about socialism Col, you're nearly as good as Gibo.”

Thank you for that comparison.

With no disrespect to Gibo,

whilst I may disagree with some of his views, I feel greater empathy with him than the pseudo literate swill like you.

On the “raining on” issue, if you had any competency in debate, you would have challenged my view, instead you feebly attempt to bite my ankle with your piss-weak wit. Hardly the strategy of a consummate debater, more the reaction of a consummate self-fiddler.

Fractelle “I hope this helps. But be warned ONLY socialists use satire, so if you ever find yourself indulging in such behaviour I recommend you grab that bottle off CJ.”

Actually Oscar Wilde was an exemplary satirist and somehow, the last person I would describe as “socialist”, unless I was being satirical.

But I guess when you need to cherry pick for anything to accredit yourself with, like you and CJ, it becomes no different to picking your nose,

all you end up with is a finger load of boogers.

But we all know why you would sooner develop affinity with anyone other than me, you fear that which is beyond your understanding and control. It is one of the typical reactions of the intellectually and socially (and possibly physically) inadequate.

Shame, you keep coming back for more, maybe you are developing some masochistic predilections. Care for something OTK?

Austin Powerless “Today's greatest swear word is 'politician'.”

I tend to empathize with your view.

Hence I believe, keep politicians and politics to a minimum and government too.

It is a power addiction, the more power they have the more they want and it is your and my taxes which pay for it all.

Less government is both cheaper and safer for anyone who values personal liberty.

Looks like Col's found himself another bottle - but he's not a very happy drunk, is he?

Don't bother passing the bottle this time, Col. The last one was sour. However, you might find a decent red under Gibo's bed.

My grandmother once told me a pearl of wisdom I'll never forget.

She said there were evil people out there who would try to trick you into believing in things, and that the only way to prevent religious or political indoctrination was simply to stop thinking.

Thankfully everyone here is following her instructions, so we're safe for now.
