This thread has run out of puff, and the conclusion must be that it is Nathan (who originally called a young bloke many times smarter than he is a 'joke'), along with the rest of his Lefty mates, who are the real jokes; they get funnier all the time, and they continue to display just how uproariously funny they are each time they post, most of them seemingly getting their lines from what passes for comedy on the ABC.

AJ,

"It didn't seem, for example, that the workers were becoming ever-more immigrated: they seemed back then too be doing not too bad. " Jeez. "Immiserated", not immigrated. Smart-arse computer.

ttbn, if you would like to know, I'm actually quite conservative on some issues. I can change my position on any issue at any time, based on information put out by others.

For example I now agree with Foxy, who recently said:

<<He's not a joke. As the American comedian George Burns once said:

"The secret of success is sincerity. If you can fake it, you've got it made".>>

To put this in perspective, for example the recent events in Australia people had to pay to see Milo Yiannopoulos:

1. For a private VIP Dinner Ticket $995.00
2. For a Backstage Pass $495.00
3. For a VIP Meet & Greet ticket $295.00
4. For a Gold ticket $89.00
5. For a student ticket $49.00

So clearly, there are a lot of people, willing to pay these sorts of prices, with nearly all shows across Australia a sell out.

I would easily put the attendees of Milo's events in the same category of the elitist arts/farts community in Australia who are also willing to pay expensive prices to attend events, and want many day to day citizens kept out of their elite environment.

Milo also has many supporters. So in that context his messages are getting out to many people. If these are taken seriously, there is the possibility, this will lead to quite negative outcomes in the community.

On the other hand many religious and other organisations, some more independent than others are providing important services to the homeless, people in financial difficulties and assisting people around Christmas time and this involves a lot of volunteer work.

With Milo, I checked online and he doesn't do much for the community. I could only find one example of charity assistance. His real desire is to take money from the public with no real public benefit at all.

Nathan,

I merely disagreed with you. I did not expect you to change your mind. I certainly didn't expect you to do an about face because someone as shallow as the ideologue and bully, Foxy, made one of her school-marm statements (copied from someone else, as usual, you should note).

I wouldn't cross the street to hear Milo – and not just because I wouldn't want to be physically attacked by Left-wing thugs. I can seem him on YouTube for nothing, and on Mark Latham's Outsiders for a small subscription. To me he is, like the rest of us, imperfect; but he is a welcome addition to the political scene and, unlike the Left loonies, he doesn't do violence. The Left is becoming increasingly violent the more they get away with it.

ttbn,

Don't be jealous. You too could quote from some
of the world's wittiest men and women if you
bothered to become literate instead of
consistently lowering the bar in all discussions
and behaving like the same old sausage fizzing and
sputtering in your own grease. Get a life, Read,
take your medication - and buy a personality.

<<I wouldn't cross the street to hear Milo – and not just because I wouldn't want to be physically attacked by Left-wing thugs.>>

Well I could argue ttbn, you are coming up with two things to make up such an excuse:

1. You are weak. Don't forget all of the Milo Yiannopoulos events were all a sell out. So there were plenty of others willing to 'cross the street and be physically attacked by Left-wing thugs'.

or

2. You were not be willing to pay prices ranging from $49.00 up to $995.00, with an extra booking fee needing to paid on top of that.

So Milo Yiannopoulos is not a joke. He is an exceptional business person, he has been able to keep going financially very well and at the same time he has a lot of supporters on board - including yourself.
