I'd like to Thank everyone who've contributed to
this discussion. We've had our serious moments
and our lighter ones but I think it's now run its
course and to continue repeating what's already been
said is not very productive. Besides, I've run out of
anti Soviet regime jokes - and I don't really know
any good Chinese ones.

I look forward to our next discussion.

And Chris - you cheer up.

Foxy,

And we would all like to thank you for not telling any more jokes. There's only so much we can take.

Mr O,

If you keep doing what you're doing.
You'll keep getting what you've got.

How about dropping your nasty troll-like persona.
This is Australia not the Soviet Union after all.

Foxy,

It takes a certain maturity to understand sophisticated jokes. Some have it, some don't. Some never get it. Oh hello, Misopinionated, didn't see you there.

I wonder if Trumpf has anything like a sense of humour, something above, say, the Flintstones or Scooby Doo.

Nah.

Joe

Here's a news item from today showing a group of Australians supporting China's claim to the South China Sea.

This will bring a smile to the faces of Foxy and LOUDmouth.

Dear Joe,

Did you happen to watch 60 Minutes last night?

There was an episode of the University of Queensland
and the influences of China and the Confucius
Institute on campus - and University funding.
