praxidice,

Belly was late learning to read - and has mostly educated himself in that regard.

He and I don't always agree, but I take my hat off to him for being up front about that, and not letting his struggle with it deter him from posting here.

Poirot

Thanks for the heads up, that explains the issue

"Paul do you not see?
Are you prepared to re read your post? then take in to account that grub/nurse in pleading guilty said he did it to cover up the theft of less than $100 in drugs.
Do you think like that? or are you mearly saying things bound to offend most."
Belly I'm staying with my post. Roger Dean is a Christian religious nutter. I quote him again; "It was like Satan saying to me that it's the right thing to do. That's why I have been bringing the Bible to work and reading it." Religion lead him to steal drugs, having severe nightmares Dean tried to end his life. Another Dean quote; "I've been turning to the church...you won't believe it , but it was like, Satan saying it was the right thing to do."
To what degree was Dean influenced by Christianity to commit these heinous crimes? I'm sure the answer would be interesting.

Prax,
Maybe you should give the matter a bit more thought.

The odds are that one of the majors is going to end up with your vote, so why not preference one of them after your primary. That way you ensure that the party you hate the most does not get your vote.

Are you to leave your vote up to another candidate to pass it to the major of his choice.?

Far safer to put the major you prefer second.

I certainly have my misgivings about both major parties, but we simply cannot go on like we have in the past 6 years. You wont find me praising the Libs but I will be seriously critisising the current labor government. I see it as imperitive that they be kicked out. My misgivings of the Libs go on the back burner for now.

It is as you say a dilemma, nevertheless I'm EXTREMELY reluctant to let the despicable bottom-feeding grub have a win. He should rightfully have been drowned at birth. I see he's in deep poo again over that electoral funding con, with a bit of luck karma and / or the Bloke upstairs has decided its time to take an interest. Is it too much to hope for that a coalition of Palmers mob and the rats & mice parties will get sufficient votes to form a government ?? Clearly distribution of preferences will tell an interesting story, and until more information is available in respect of that, its impossible to decide the optimal course of action.

Thanks Poirot.
But while you speak the truth, what is both Prax and Philips excuse?
Prax I approach my 68th year.
Started full time work at age 13 and began my education then.
I picked up little at school, and as eldest of 16 kids, 8 of whom grew up alive,it was my task to help feed them, work.
As strange as I find it, my wages kept a sister in school,she did brilliantly! then wed without working.
Maybe my way is shared by thousands,country poor, working, saw the eldest work early, I have no regrets, but no idea of form or composition of letters.
Other than this.
I judge by content,understanding, and value in my mind.
And try to learn some thing every day.
You mate get 25 out of 100 in those category, not under any circumstances willing to other than hold my ground, you can do better, hopefully.
A truth, one I too can not avoid, wish I could, the future will not bring a Muslim free Australia.
But after much pain, even deaths, they, or us, will understand this is not a Muslim country, and without a war, never will be.
The PC thought that it must be us who change will die, in time hardened by the continued PC lie that in some way we westerners bought murder down on us in our streets.
Be aware truth will out Muslims need to change not us,in our country.
