    I think you are missing GON's point. I think he is pointing out that, just as the brain needs both the left and right to function properly, politics would benefit if the extreme left was balanced by the extreme right. By the way, I disagree. The extremes do not balance. They just fight

    Don't talk too soon, there is a lot of consequences yet to play out. Maybe even there might emerge the promised America Made Great Again....... But at the expense of making most of the American people worse off.

    I have only one problem with your analogy.... At this point in time we really don't have a left leaning side in politics.

    Now that numerous whites have been attacked on Fraser Island, I suspect that the public sentiment about 'those fairly harmless' native dogs has changed. They clearly ARE capable of carrying off an infant. And around touristy places, they lose their fear of humans.

    But Nev, I recall from many previous elections.... The Liberal party constantly warning us away from the Labor candidates because Labor is constantly divided by poiltical infighting! Oh, and they always create cause fiscal disasters and astronomical deficits.. By the way, why are they called the Liberal party? They don't seem to have very liberal (progressive) agendas. Quite the opposite.

    Not about the Vic election, but this year's Tassie election probably doesn't get enough interest to warrant a dedicated thread. Just thinking about the narrowing gap between the Liberal Party and Lib - Lite (previously known as Labor)..... Maybe the only hope for the major parties to have a say in politics, is for them to form a LibLab coalition.

    Not only Poo-ten. Even Bill Gates made a fortune from windows. But he did it without teminating his advisors so spectacularly.

    He seems to have already proven that capability, last year.

    Is that statement reverse mysoginistic? I'll have the ganmar police onta ya, son!

    Onetrack, I understand your reluctance to have the shingles vaccine. You seem to be outside the average autoimmune curve, in a fortunate way. But the fact that you have avoided a number of other illnesses, does not logically mean that you will never get this one. I look at immunisation as an insurance policy. I had the Shingrix last year. It cost me nothing, and shingles is an affliction I wish to avoid.

    All I know is that if I get an unexpected invite to a family dinner, I'll be very nice to the host/ess, arrive early to help prepare the food, and even then, I'll be the last one to start eating.

    Considering the disparity of wealth between Musk & Donny, I would think that pssin orf Musk is not a great move. In spite of all their numerous childish behaviours, the wealthiest will win.... if he doesn't wake up tomorrow with a new brainwave, and go off on a new project.

    It's ok. He may have overslept... a lot.

    And nowadays, it means much the same in most languages. Along with his hangers-on.

    And sadly, I'd bet they don't have opening windows there!

    Poo-ten is so much more efficient at cutting bureaucracy than Musky's DOGE. Maybe the new American administration just needs more open windows?

    Putin's oil boss plunges to his death. He had a problem with a window. Reported in 4th July. Apparently the public remain sceptical...... https://www.dagens.com/world/putins-oil-boss-plunges-to-his-death-the-window-curse-strikes-again

    Well that might ease the food shortage in NK.
  19. nomadpete
    Well I think that has been the case all along. Also, blind freddy (but not donny) knew all along that poo-ten is fixated on conquering Ukraine at all costs.

    Anyway, "Who is Elon Musk Really?" My answer is.... The next King of America! (If he isn't already that)

    However, sad to say, that echoes my view of our Australian two party system. How can we balance between voting for one mob of bullies or a slightly different mob of bullies. Each mob is promoting their sponsors interests instead of their population's interests.

    I once gave my mum a mother's day card on my birthday. At the time I thought it was better than giving her a sympathy card.

    Here's my Random Thought for today...

    Sounds reasonable. Quite a lot is also consumed in bulk
  25. nomadpete
