Its happy days! So stick around.

Did someone mention the Mad Monk? Oh yes it was Pope Pius himself. I thought he had over indulged in an act of self-flagellation at the last papal election and was no more. Probably doing time in purgatory these days!

Seriously Foxy, why state most on here are not rationale.

How rude. Every person has a right to express their opinion.

If they are wrong, then prove they are.

IMO, you seldom do beyond stating your optimistic sentiment.

Now i have had some aggressive spars on OLO too, but i always examine what they say.

Nearly always i actually end up taking up their thoughts to help test my own.

The right wingers on here have many useful things to say which reflects the reality that nearly all perspectives may have strengths and weaknesses.

Dear Chris Lewis,

To believe Climate Change is an utter hoax in this day and age is irrational.

To believe that Trump is deserving of uncritical support is irrational.

To believe the ABC is less trustworthy than Sky News is irrational.

And on topic to believe the Coalition are vastly superior economic managers is irrational in the extreme.

equally,

one could argue that it is waste of time to address climate Change because most others don't or will not; better to simply adapt.

anyone has right to support Trump given free choice and individual reasons. I personally like his aggressive approach to the CCP, although I don't like him enough to want him re-elected.

and that endlessly relying on debt is hardly a solution in the longer term whether Liberal or Labor.

If you are talking about CO2 caused global warming SR, then quite the contrary.

The only people who can believe in CO2 caused climate change are,

1/ Those who have a financial interest in promoting the fraud.

2/ Those who don't have enough math to understand the misquoting of physics.

3/ Those who have a political interest in promoting the fraud & avoid ever looking at the now thousands of studies that prove the whole thing to be a lie.

Which category do you fall into?

If anyone's got a gibberish --> English translator can they tell me what that means.

"And how on earth are you using Abbott as your measure of fiscal competence."

Well I wasn't. But he was the last leader in either party that had any aspirations to set fiscal policy with a view to the next generation rather than the next election or, as now, the next opinion poll. My measure is Howard pre-2005. Contrast the Howard-Costello response to the 1997 Asian financial crisis to the current throw money at every problem mantra.

Foxy thinks that since we CAN borrow against our kids future, we SHOULD borrow. As if there's no alternative. But there is, or at least was, an alternative. Its just that the government, and the opposition and the states and media and the 'experts' and the commentariate went down the path of least resistance.

And now we have people shocked that there's a bill to pay for that.

According to the government, and they're being spectacularly optimistic, 200000 more people will become unemployed between now and Christmas. Those people are paying the bill. Those who cheered the lockdown are sitting pretty.

Everyone love Santa in December but not so much when the credit card bill arrives in January.
