Hi Belly,

The above comments were being posted here around the same time as Graham was reorganising things. As you can see, things have trickled to a stop in that regard.

Yes sure knew that but some may not have.
Reported a couple of posts hope few saw them.
Lets look again at opinions, remember those school days, we all have seen spite and dreadful things from kids.
Done it our selves maybe in our childhood.
And we those of us with heart still deeply dislike it.
I find true hope from that,while people in dispute say and do many dreadful things we look deeply and come up with our opinion.
Few of us take things on face value,humans do differ but it is built in to us to trust one another.
And that in my opinion is great.

Hey Belly, I was wondering if Jinny had been banned, and I didn’t want to say much if she can’t respond. She likes a battle, maybe as a result at being angry at an authority here that you just continually lose to. A good internet fight can cheer one right up in those circumstances and be a wonderful distraction.

I’d suggest she cruise over to altnews.com into the forums where she get her teeth into something more solid than she would find here.

Although given her children are still with her the parents there may either tear her to pieces or give her nightmares about what can happen to her children. Both would be good for her I feel.

Maybe I phase that wrong, opinions here at peak performance are awesome to behold. When passion leaks out I consider them even better though and on a sites with no holds barred you can learn a lot from a truly nasty debate.

You learn how to get your opinion across and to create an eye in the storm.

Strangely OLO toughened me up a lot, after being abused here no site where people can drop the F bomb would even compare to the accusations made by various OLO users. Bless them, I think I became immune.

Not even back 24 hours and I am ripping families apart for monetary gain and I am racist and judgmental. Much better than some sites where you are told if you don't have a nice opinion then say nothing. Bunch of babies. :)

TPP I need to be careful here old mate.
Some things are better unsaid,some people tell a good story but it can be fiction or non fiction we must consider both options.
You have been a victim of being too open here, so have I.
I what ever outcomes from some posts removed from here, think we are better to leave the issue.
Nice to see you back.

Hey Belly I am going to swing right off topic.

I swear I saw a thread that said something about Aussie should aline with the US not China. I never looked at it but heard weird stuff on the radio today about a trade agreement with the US.

I went looking for the thread to see if it was tallking about trade with the US or something else. Has it gone or was a imagining it or it's there and I have a missed it?

But anyways, being a victim is no fun. How was that for the quotable statement of the year? :)

But I refuse to change or be careful. I have some weird logic going on that the worst has already happened.

And on the subject of opinions I forgot what we were talking about, whether or not to be pleasant I think. Of course me being very pleasant was what go me in trouble.

So giving opinions is all good but give them in as nuetral a way as possible or risk being accused of flaming or flirting. Again if someone wants to believe you are flirting with them then no amount of intentional flaming will dissuade some stranger type people. And same if someone wants to believe you're nasty then no matter how pleasant you try to be they will just go with what is stuck in their head about you.

Why is giving an opinion made so difficult? And giving an opinion in the nature you wish to intend it to opinionated people is twice as hard.

No, TPP, the thread is still there. You can find it here: http://bit.ly/9Lm3fD

It was titled 'Australia must line-up with the US rather than China', but, IN MY OPINION (which is what this thread is about), the author got the title all mixed up. The title should have been 'The US must line up with Australia, rather than worry about China'. No wonder you could not find it, TPP. Buka gai jin author! (Japanese for 'stupid bloody foreigner' author, as opposed to 'gung ho gwei loh', Chinese for 'co-operatively aggressive foreign devil' opinionator.)

The thread, of course, is the defining dialogue, but should you wish to view the article, it can be found here: http://bit.ly/cXP2b4

For a longer term perspective of Australia's position vis-a-vis that of co-prosperity in greater east Asia in relation to the US relationship, one could ponder this, albeit some of it poetic, analysis of some of its background to date: http://bit.ly/d9zoHL and following posts.

You don't suppose the Yanks might want us to waste all that money on the NBN so we wont have any left to buy into/invest in converting much of our abundant coal resources to oil and negating peak oil in the process, do you TPP? My goodness, if we did that we could rule the world by proxy! We could make fuels of them all!

Of course, TPP, all of this is purely speculative, just my opinion.
