This brings me to the “socialization” of issues. Your perspective is that we are not interested in your “explanations”.

May I respectfully remind you that you have never actually explained anything on OLO. All you do is socialize your borrowed perspective.

The socialization approach to the philosophy, history, politics and science has become distressingly familiar.

The socialization advocates promote the abandoning of the idea any topic as a separate domain of activity or enquiry, they promote that each topic must be understood not as a means of acquiring objective general truths about the world but simply as another form of social behaviour !

And you accuse me of “stereotyping” you? My God you've got brass I’ll grant you that

Beach shows his total lack of political knowledge, again << Not even one term and out forever!>> Whitlam won a first term December 5th 1972 leading the 28th Australian parliament, he then won a second term May 18th 1974 being the 29th Commonwealth Parliament of Australia.
<< Gough Whitlam WAS president of the Fabian Society of Victoria.>> so bloody what! Better than being two IC to a lunatic Nazi holding meetings in a damp basement in Tempe. Ah Beach!
If you are going to continually refer to "Newspapers" please discard those dirty old copies of Murdoch's 'Daily Horror' from 72 to 75 and get some real news. I ask again where were you from 1972 to 1975. A twinkle in daddy's eye? On second thoughts keep those Daily Horror's of yours, if only for the eye candy value you get from page 3.

Poor old Hasbeen has been shocked to find out that Fred Flintstone was having a "GAY OLD TIME" with his neighbor Barney Rubble thinking they were only consuming a famous 'Streets' ice cream of the same name, and not each other, he though they were just friends!

Spindoc is in a spin, thinks Little Johnny Howard was Australia's greatest ever PM, it would be true if Australia had only one PM ever and it was the fool Howard. Not only did the people give his government the flick, the voters of Bennelong gave him the flick as well.

To Foxy and Poirot, please keep up the excellent posts. They are proving to be the only shining lights of sensibility on this tread amoung the nonsense of our usual bunch of fanatical right wing posters.

Dear spindoc,,

Nice try.

And again - assumptions made that are totally wrong.

Firstly, my parents ended up in this country. I was
born here. And as for my political inclinations -
my dear Sir, again you are assuming things about which
you know absolutely nothing. Just because one feels a duty
to address shortcomings in the system does not mean that
one is against the system. On the contrary - one simply
wants to see improvements made. And if you insist on
behaving as you do - and I am talking about stereotyping
here - (go back and re-read your own posts)
then of course counter-stereotyping will also occur.
That's the norm on this forum after all and you guys can't
complain when you indulge in it and then get the same back.
Righteous indignation is not appropriate in your case.
Not at all.

As David E. Springer, an American lawyer once stated, when he
also felt a duty to address shortcoming in the American
system:

"At all times, vigilance is the price of liberty.
We must remain vigilant because whiole it might be us jtoday,
it will be some other group down the road 20 years from now.
The measure of our society over history is our fidelity
to our principles. We must remind our government and our
people to remain faithful to those principles or otherwise
our society, like so many in the past, will be swept on the ash
heap of history."

And talking about "brass" - balls, knuckles, whatever.
Well Sir, I don't look upon this as a blood-sport.
You apparently do. But that's your problem not mine!

As a famous person once pointed out - (Forbes),
"When you rely on surface appearances and
false stereotypes rather than in-depth knowledge
of others at the level of the heart, mind, and
spirit - their ability to assess and understand
people accurately is compromised."

And as we all know people are much deeper than
stereotypes. To quote from another saying -
- Nothing would please me more than to
hear someone's story and be able to say about them:

"I'd never have guessed."

'morning Foxy,

I've just finished and interesting exercise. You can put your posts as a response to any thread and any comment, they all make equal nonsense.

Try it, it works every time!

Dear spindoc,

I'm so sorry to read that but of course I
understand perfectly. You're stuck in a mental
prison - which blinds you not only to your own
potentiality but to those of others.

You need to find a cure - although I suspect it
may be too late in your case. Unhealthy tongues
have no other option than infest themselves with
their own diseases.

You have my sympathy Sir!
