Misopinionated, and Dear Foxy,

Pretentious ?! Moi ?!

Today's my wedding day, 54 years ago :) So many wonderful, wonderful memories ......

I can highly recommend inter-marriage, it's the Australian future, to always be learning as - and from - an 'outsider' to someone else's perspective. Well, it has been common already for 200 years anyway.

Joe

LOUDmouth,

Donald Trump is in the same boat: he married a Slav.

And don't forget Obama. His wife is African-American and he is American-African.

And what about the members of the European royal families over the centuries: Danes marrying Italians, Italians marrying Spaniards, Spaniards marrying Gerpersons, Gerpersons marrying other Gerpersons. There's just no stop to it I tell you!

Joe this is for you:

To paraphrase the song -

"If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
For your children to spend time with you".

"The time has now come to tell you
That the years have so quickly flown by
As you celebrate all of your memories
The one thing that still remains true
Are the years with your family that lie ahead
Get your children to know the real you".

Take care.
Stay safe.

Thank you, Foxy, that's beautiful. Lovely song, lovely man who wrote it .....

So often, yes, the best die young.

Love,

Joe

skin colour does not define a person's personality.
Foxy,
It does when the argument is that people are being discriminated against because of their colour.
I don't see the slogan "All Lives matter", only the one that says "Black Lives matter".

Individual,

Perhaps that's because the one's being discriminated
against are black - and it's to attract attention to
the fact that their lives matter just as much as those
of whites.
