You'd have to be a "Social Climber"  and I'm scared of heights. Nev

You used the "destructive" term. I'd say more of a socially dysfunctional situation. Our influences haven't helped. Many common  activities Gambling, easy loans Pressure to buy stuff to keep up with the Jonese's  Poverty spirals are part of other peoples lives also. Don't tell me there's not active discrimination of Blacks, because there IS. . Nev

One earlier American president said "ALL men are born EQUAL. I hold this to be self evident".

  In the 200 or so years WE have been here look at the destruction  that has been done. Aquifers Rivers fracking  and heavy metal  tailing dams and agricultural fertilisers Phosphates  from detergents, Insecticides and Herbicides and plastic and landfill.  and imported weeds cane toads  Billions of tons of CO2.  CFC's.etc.   Now THAT"S DESTRUCTIVE Nev

His  Accountant/Lawyer originally made one years figures available ,The ONLY year he paid TAX apparently. Nev

Looks pretty normal to me. Nev

It's my understanding that By and Large they have. Trump makes his own rules and It goes like "Heads I win . Tails you lose". and being wrong is for other people.  Nev

A better one. "Find anything HERE and I'll go halves with you".   I don't have any rags to spare. I'm still wearing them. Nev

Well It's already politicised  pre emptively so that's a bad start. Nev

It's most likely the group at Uluru was the largest mix of tribes in the  history of aboriginal existence and that's where this call came from. Detractors know that  complete detail is a work in  progress  and attacking detail will be a great way to condemn the referendum to failure. The Action of Littleproud pre emptively deciding against it almost guarantees failure anyhow as few referendums historically are passed in this country.. and it requires Bipartisanship. Certainly a lot of current aboriginal behaviour is disappointing but Porn Grog and white mans $#!t food has a lot to do with that. Up till now the white fella does most of the thinking for our dark brothers and that's hasn't worked  A Bot even appointed himself as minister for Aborigines FFS.

 Stereotyping is not helpful in any  context. Our current situation re these matters is far from perfect. They need more say in what is done for/to them, Yes, i've been treat poorly by some dark skinned Australian 's  but there's plenty  of lighter coloured yobs around too whose company I would enjoy LESS..  Nev

So You'd really like to swap places?  Nev

You mean a quick way to get well off is to adopt Aboriginal  Status? Surely you jest. That doesn't work  for many Tribes who have a list of their MOB. and IF you aren't on it too bad what you want to believe.. I haven't seen too many aborigines driving fancy cars and living high on the HOG. (or even wanting to.). Nev

IF I can guess it , I guess most people could..   Nev

Yes  . Glad to see they are OK. Can get pretty rough on the Bay with strong winds. Sailed a catamaran from where they were to Elwood one time with a 2 metre swell. Fast and scary.  Nev

The prettiest one.  Nev

In most of the earlier euro films if there's any bad guys they were always UKRANIANS. They are tough Mr Putin. You UNITED them under a media comic . HE's the REAL MAN and doesn't take $#!T from Russians whose Heart is not in it or some one who has special guards around him to prevent being killed..  While HE kills and destroys from a position of safety (though THAT is changing, Mr Putin).   Nev

Good  research and thinking 99. Nev

Russia keeps occupied territory by FORCE. Ask the Hungarians about 1956. I worked with  few teachers from there who fled after the tank invasion by the Ruskies. The warring tribes of Europe (and every other place). Dig a bit and you'll find it near the surface in every place going back sometimes a thousand years.   Putin is a born thug, murderer and despot ex KGB so what do you expect?  Nev

Probably 99% of the tonnage of all ships is steel.. Nev

 Similar to what Morrison said to the Assembly of LADIES outside our Parliament.  Nev

Weight high above the waterline doesn't help anything. Steel boats "sweat" inside and don't bend much. The earliest welded steel "Liberty" boats broke in halves. Cook repaired his badly damaged boat near where they were damaged. Must have been akin to  being on Mars.   Nev

 Again ??  Nev

You weren't dealing with Psycho with the worlds largest arsenal of Nuclear warheads ready to  destroy the world rather than Have Mutha Russia  be humbled. . You have one of the Pillars of the UN and able to VETO anything who have LIED to the UN while  last in attendance. and it was their turn to have the chair... Nev

The later ones had a V6 in them. There was also a Granada.. There was a local built spots car called a Buckle based on the early Zephyr running gear. Nev

He uses everyone he can/needs and then dumps them when the heat is on, leaving THEM to carry the can. Dear  Don is the one who never fails. It's always others to blame  when poor little donny gets picked on at all over anything.  Con Man extraordinaire The "suckers & losers" believe in HIM being able to do NO WRONG.   Nev

That projection is exactly what HE is NOT. Nev
