Climate change? must have around the Melbourne club I knew.
Paul it would have been only too happy to lend you a neck tie, tie it for you and select a tree.
Afghanistan? we westerners have much to be ashamed of, sending girls back to school, letting the sounds of music not guns fill the streets.
And the worst?
Returning the sporting fields to sport!
How dare we stop the mass murders as public entertainment!
PAUL, MATE, stirring is not debate, only the letter T separates a Wit from a Twit.

I thought a well written report, from America about this issue would be worth while.
A bit stunned by the opposing views I find it hard to believe some think this is just a few of us.
Within this long but worth while read are some figures, 75% of Americans think it is time to act on climate change.
Too, so little has yet been done, much of the link wants to plan future actions AFTER disasters bought about by climate change.

Thanks Fellas, but the adulation will have to stop. I am not the Messiah, but merely a disciple of the true Messiah, Bob Brown.
SM thanks for digging out the correct definition of Pig Iron Bob and his flunkies and lackeys, warmonger "a person who encourages or advocates aggression or warfare towards other nations or groups." Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. Fits them to a tee.
Tony, Tony, Tony, you were winning me over until you said "Elvis is dead" we all know Elvis is alive and well and running a Berger King store in Dapto!
ManOfTheLand: I'll have you know,The Melbourne Club is an egalitarian organization for gentlemen of refinement such as myself. The club welcomes all comers regardless of race, sex, religion. There are exceptions though, too numerous to list here, especially no riffraff, and certainly no women.
Belly, I can see from your posts, you have finally taken the plunge and come over to the other side. Welcome comrade.

Paul,
I vehemently opose almost every viewpoint you have. In fact often the first sentence of your post makes me groan in disbelief.
And yet appreciate that it takes people of all veiwpoints to contribute. After-all, what fun would it be if every one just saw sence? Appreciate also your ability to joke about yourself.
Shame SM can't seem to do the same.
Good momentary truce.

Paul a final bit of advice.
Humor used in the right way can be fun.
But in my view you are not serving the Morris Dancers ah, Greens well.
Out side a Labor country conference one Sunday morning,it may have been you.
A silly beggar lay down on the Cooma footpath, as half the flocK went for the Catholic Church, I went for black coffee.
The gentle man in the Kola bear suit just lay there.
He became a figure to laugh at.
Too in Sydney some years after Greens set up out side our conference
Smoke billowing from an old fire box fed wood chips by three men who had slept,by the looks of them, inside the rusty firebox.
About 30 police watched on.
I think trying to stop the crowd giving them a bath.
I am considering adding your recent posts to those memory's.
Do not cut down any trees to grow the pot OK?

ManOfTheLand: you said "I vehemently opose almost every viewpoint you have. In fact often the first sentence of your post makes me groan in disbelief." Do I detect a softening of attitude towards me views, are you ready for conversion. Welcome comrade.
Seriously. I do not take this forum seriously, I'm not here to change hearts and minds. Just a bit of relaxation, post some fun, stir the pot. I don't know anyone on here but I don't hate, such a strong word, anyone for what they post. I kind a like people like SM and Belly, they seem genuine types, got their views. Don't tell them I said that as they might think I'd want to move in with 'em, 3 of us in a one room bed sit in Darlo might be a bit crowded.

Belly said "Out side a Labor country conference one Sunday morning" Who was Labor's inspirational speaker at that conference? EDDIE OBEID, did you have a video link to Long Bay so Milton and the mob could add their 2 cents worth!
"About 30 police watched on." Police brutality, Sunday morning at double time.
"The gentle man in the Kola bear suit just lay there" Firstly there are no bears in kola's. Secondly it was your bloke Pete Garrett who was in the Wilderness mod who dress up in kola suits, so it could have been Pete, p/s Pete will be in the wildness after the next election. Since you mentioned kolas, Fatty O'Barrell, is about to do a deal with the Shooters and Hooters Party to allow six year old's into national parks with their AK47's to blast away at those pesky bear like things, all in return for allowing Fatty to build a plutonium plant in Pitt Street.
