73 here and sorry you are not the person I thought mate this verbal tennis is my game believe me ,but you are not worth the effort you Sir are a troll and a foolish one it seems it is up to me, in truth GY should have warned us both this is no way to behave but I end this now, know you need help, and will never see me taunted and reacting to you again

not sure if expressing our opinions and having them slammed does any of us any good if it creates such anger. I am as guilty as anyone else. One day we will discover our enemies are not flesh and blood. I hold my views stronger than most because I love this country and see it going the way of many others quickly. Wish it wasn't true but my views have become more entrenched since joining olo a long time ago. Maybe olo is a reflection of our nation. Much division, colliding ideology and evening spilling into hatred. Thankfully I don't experience that with my neighbours despite some of them being druggies and a different colour. Yep I hate the ideologies that I see as anti God, anti family etc but will give the whole thing away if it means hating people.

Hi Belly,

You are one of decency, and your words ring loud and clear no matter how you phrase them, I read every word as true to your convictions. As I advised when you were being harangued some years back by a nemesis then, in the form of the poster 'onthebeach', toughen up and apply the 'Armadillo Principle' simple as it is.

Should my little granddaughter utter a few words; "Pop, you are an arsehole!" I would be hurt grievously. Should the forums 'Toad' the poster unleash a personal tirade; "Paul1405, you are the scummies, piece of dog crap etc etc....Iv'e every come across!" It has absolutely no effect, as I don't have any personal relationship with 'Toad', only words typed on a computer.

Anyway Belly, come the next election you and I will be swapping preference, on the road to hopefully a Labor victory.

BTW; Not a good idea posting your real name and address on a public forum, there could be a few nutters lurking in the shadows.

Talking of nutters....

ttbn, you say you are 75, congratulations, that makes you a fully fledged member of the forums 'Cranky Old Men's Club' no longer a mere associate member. You are now entitled to a fresh pair of clean sheets from "Nursy", after each night of bed wetting, not just on Sundays.

Paul,

I was going to say that you are a pathetic human being; but I'll drop the human being bit.

runner never ever doubted the one thing we share is total absolute love of our country, we post, from opposite side of politics what we think is true, sometimes we will both be wrong Paul thanks mate we are that, will do, and if the preferences swap is on count me in honey moon or not only a new government with new directions will do.

Hi runner, I see another side of you from your last post, your best for some time.
Question; I am somewhat surprised that you're not in support of Senator Lucy Gichuhi. She identifies as an African/Australian in a multicultural society. Firstly nominated as a Senator for the sudo-religious conservative party, Family First, she broke away as an independent, not wishing to go with FF to join Bernardi's Conservatives. Her words; ""Family First is a party that shares my values and my hope for Australia and I am proud to be a member of that team,"
Runner, a party with a philosophy you would support?
