"Yeah Mate, you just keep stabbing me, I got plenty of time". Career criminal, multiple warrants for his arrest, charges the Policeman with a knife inflicting wound .... gets shot. Had this been a White man in Logan City, it would be page 3 down in a corner. I fully agree many situations could be talked down, other times when the Cop should just leave completely (sadly many egos won't allow that) but when a nasty young man (lets drop the "teenager" bollshot) comes at you with a knife, that's the line in the sand. After spending time in the Newell Hwy towns and South West Qld drilling, I ain't got a lot of time for Aboriginals. There's good reason those towns look like apocalyptic towns in Hollywood Zombie movies with everything barred and boarded up. speak to the local hospitals if you want to know what a town is really like. How many times we were told not to walk outside after say 7pm by our Motel managers.... We would often have our dinners at the local RSL or similar club, who would mention to you when leaving to stay together, be careful walking through the car park ect. What was a surprise was most of them agree that gangs of kids around 10 years old are the worst. On the other hand, some family members who have lived many years in Darwin, and some other people in other Central areas say they are terrific people, so who knows, maybe location or economy specific. I can only go on my own experiences.

False argument, there are individual pyschopaths everywhere around the world, in every country in every culture, including Muslims. Nothing to do with the argument that some religions spur violence towards others who aren't followers of their religions.

I have no idea what that means.

Great incentives in China, the Government pays a quarter of your car, further tax incentitives to businesses, free parking in cities for 2 hours, Government run or Gov sponsored charger installations, besides cheap electricity because essential services (water, gas, electricity) belong to the people here, as they should everywhere (yeah right). Australia wouldn't be difficult because you don't need the large premises for servicing, it's just a sales outlet, you could even do it from a Shopping Center, just deliver the cars to people's doors. Warranty issues could be covered by Ultratune or other selected service outlets. A small out of town cheap premises for holding and distributing spare parts.

It's bullshit is what it is. Over 200,000 kms in 4 cars and not one has ever been into a workshop once, EVER. Apparently BMW and Nissan to name 2, have 15,000km services, to service what exactly? Just a lie. The Tesla has had a set of wiper blades, fitted them myself, and I pump up the tyres sometimes. Oh and I fill up the washer bottle myself, I'm awesome I tell yas! Although EVs are initially more expensive, there are no service charges, tyre and brake wear are greatly increased due to linear acceleration, and regen braking. the Tesla weghs 2200kgs, but the first set of tyres went 75,000kms, and brakes look fine. in fact I barely ever touch the brakes in any EV as the regen does 80% of the braking for you. I feel sorry for the current Dealerships around the world, not sure what they are going to do as a large chunk of their income comes through service and spare parts. Because no service costs, better brake and tyre wear etc, lowered cost of fuel, the cost of an EV draws equal to an ICE after 5 to 8 years.

Shock, Horror, "Gasp" said the masses ..... Now put it into it's proper Global context, thanks.

Yup, they deem the public to be sheep who will do what they are told.

Many 1 to 3 ton trucks around Chinese cities now, they are awesome. The EV trucks accelerate like normal cars from lights, none of this nonsense of nearly coming to a stop as they try to find second gear up a hill, and of course don't spew smoke over people walking along. Then there's the noise, the lack of it . Should be law to get rid of the diesel equivelents out of cities..

Oh Electric car thread. I have owned 4 of them over the last 4+ years, daily drive in a Tesla S, 87,000 kms now, and own a Geely Emgrand EV and a BYD E5, both with 55,000kms. I sold a JAC EVi6 a few years back at 35,000kms. I also sell about 20 EVs per month now out of my Stealership. The Geely and BYDs are my Demos. I don't know everything about EVs, but I know a bit. What would you like to know? [ATTACH]50422._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]50423._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Yup, the amount of climateers around here who will thoughtlessly throw paper into the sewerage. Washing with water is brilliant, haven't had an itchy ass in the 15 years I've been in China, and the thought of me smearing, not cleaning, poo up and down my crack and then walikng around and sitting like that for 4 days until my next shower is disgusting. .. and then the same Climateers send shampoo, soaps, dishwashing water into the river systems, and now worst, recently discovered, is the plastic microbeads that are getting into the ocean from washing clothes, apprently a serious issue. Most of our grey water goes onto our vegetable garden. Also, don't wash out your toothpaste from your mouth, spit the bulk out into the bin, but don't rinse, Google it. I'm not a Greeny, but I am more green than most on a daily basis, including the electric cars I daily in for the last 4 years.. .

And yet "Poor" people have it better than they ever had, EVER, in history. Google the late 1800s and the wealthy people who would dress up as poor people in London to visit the horrific conditions suffered. It was actually those trips, sometimes organised tours, that made humanitarians step up to help the (deperately) poor, leading to the societies we have today with water, sewerage, hospitals, police, electricity etc. I laugh when I see on the Internet someone screaming "Capitalism!" - while taking complete advantage of all the Socialism items mentioned there, and more, and the internet acess itself. What happens when you give ignorant people a little, they want more and mostly expect others to do it for them, and give it to them for nothing.

Completely standard foundation of the general argument for Climate Change Hysterics.

Even easier for you to simply Google it. For which in just mere seconds you will eventually be rewarded with "HELE power stations".

He is Nationalist, loves Australia. Sadly, like LePen, you can not love your country or talk about the best interests for it or you are immediately branded "Right Wing" and crucified by the Press.

What are you talking about? The above 2nd video is one of those scientists. That is the point. Apparently you didn't bother to watch? The irony there is Scientists don't work on assumptions, they use evidence, like the video. The point here is not if there is climate change or not, as you assume the point is, the point is that the claim of "97% of all Scientists" is a flat out lie. Umm yes, what's your point? Climate changes all the time, it's cyclic. Laurentide Ice Sheet - Wikipedia The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans, who used its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings, and the species was also hunted for food. It disappeared from its mainland range at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 years ago, most likely through climate change and consequent shrinkage of its habitat, hunting by humans, or a combination of the two. You know they discovered frozen Wooly Mammoths under the ice, let me draw you a map here why ... [ATTACH]48738._xfImport[/ATTACH] Yep, and as the ice melts, the soil uncovered absorbs the Methane/Co2 and goes towards reversing the cycle, bet you haven't read that anywhere, funny about that. Or the other self repairing balancing tricks the Earth has taught itself over the eons of constant climate change. On warmer Earth, most of Arctic may remove, not add, methane (ISME Journal) It's not called "Global Warming" anymore, because the warming stopped. It's now called Climate Change. In fact we are currently in a record period of non-warming of 19 years since records started 220 years ago. But yes, overall we are warming anyway, it's in that historic cycle of warming, plenty of evidence to show it, 600,000 years of evidence in fact, and way before the alleged human interference. So what if all the oceans rose 2 or 3 meters, your elevation is 320, a few people might have to move house, usually wealthier people along coastlines mostly who won't be much affected, and it would happen over centuries if it did happen. The oceans have risen on average 150 mm over the last 100 years by the way. I'm packing the car tomorrow and heading for the mountains to be sure. Again, what's your point? What's your solutions? Important question, how does it affect you personally? The answer of course is it doesn't.

I was going through the numbers today and LePen actually did better than what the press would have you know. The actual figures; Macron 41%, LePen 26%, Abstained 9% Didn't go and vote at all 24%. That's closer to a 1.6:1 ratio for Macron's majority over LePen than the 2:1 being quoted. Near 10% of the population bothering to go and stand in line for an hour or 2 just to abstain is amazing. Consider the alleged "Right" movement and that lot of abstainers,, there's a lot of unhappy people out there. BTW, there's a lot of angry French people on both sides about Macron walking out to his Victory speech with the EU Anthem playing and not the French Anthem.

What has happened is a direct result of progress, and was always going to happen, and nothing to do with the EU. I am Australian, Australia is NOT a member of the EU, yet I can not only travel throughout Europe unhampered, I can also do it throughout most of the world, who are also NOT members of the EU. Because of a thousand reasons of modern progress such as computers and telecommunications offering immediate Passport ID and criminal history available, to cheap fast travel by road or air to every country wanting tourist dollars. In Australia alone in 1977 there was 1.5 million outbound passengers, 30 years later in 2017 there was 18 million, the rest of the world is the same, what idiot country wouldn't make things easier to let you and your credit cards in? International tourism to hit an all-time high this year with 1.1 BILLION people travelling abroad | Daily Mail Online Britain's tourist dollar and access to genuine people will not be effected by them leaving the EU. I am quite verse with European history, very little relevance to modern era.

Of course he is in the US because he's got money stashed there with the right connections. It's a very rare leak of what is quite common up at those heights, it was too big to contain by the looks of it, but expect it to disappear quietly because it affects both sides. Zarrab will do a year or something in a 5 star hotel room and be a free man. The little man can not know about these matters, that's why Julian Assage is as good as locked up. Just waiting for Snowden's "accident".

Yes, yes they did. Macron would have still won even if the Press had been the Press, but there may have been more understanding of why the LePens and Trumps are rising, it can not be denied aven by the Liberal ****wits that scream they are all Right Wing racists. Just power words that play so much a part of our lives now and kill discussion. It's sad that the Press get to play so much a part in these decisions rather than staying neutral and reporting facts from all sides. Oh sure, the press always leaned to one side, that's just nature, but now it's 100% one sided with extreme prejudice, you can not have fair and reasonable democracy in society while it goes unchecked.

Well as expected Macron won and about the 60/40 I thought. Of course the Left media who ran the election will run all the "Right Wing smashed" type stories now rather than the facts. .. and the facts are the LePen got 2% 2 Elections ago, 9% last Election and 22% this Election (Primaries), and of course 35% of the main vote with a disturbing 30% not voting at all. There are problems. These "Right Wing" (alleged) Parties didn't get but a handful of voters 20 years ago, now they are toppling Governments. It is obvious everywhere in the world there is a growing force of people feeling they are forgotten or mistreated. They will not be resolved by pretending they don't exist, and a quick look at some of the Press editorials a minute ago just shows another disgusting round of perfect world going on while it obviously isn't.

Great post Nev, and yet a few days back you are the same guy who denies those exact foundations that power Brexit, or is it your brother posting? Any update yet on those "Waring Nations of the EU"?

2nd time you have mentioned the "Warring Tribes of Europe", who are you specifically referring to?

I will watch the whole thing, but no time today. I did get the first 5 minutes in though, enough time to hear Macron say that France's unemployment has steadily been getting worse for the last 30 years, while other EU members have been improving. He goes on to say he will reform the Labor laws etc. Well DUH Mr EU supporter, what has happened over the last "30 years"?? 1981 saw Spain and Portugal included, and 1990 saw the Eastern Bloc opened up so East Germany joined up by proxy, along with Cyprus and Malta. 2004 had Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia join. [/url] And guess what, for the last 30 years? French companies have all been running off to get manufacturing in those cheaper countries!! This is an example, Renault car manufacturing, note the timeline here, remember Slovenia joined the EU in 2004, and the production figures and realise how many French jobs have been taken away .. Revoz - Wikipedia How much of a rocket scientist do you have to be to understand that? The concept of the original reasonably equivalent wealthy countries becoming the EEC was great for trade between them, how do you expect to introduce poor countries and maintain your wealth and social structure, let alone culture, the simple answer is you can't. The EU does exist to make the rich richer, which I have no issue with, but it can't be done at such a cost to humans and their cultures.

Certainly raises some eyebrows, first watch this to understand where the 97% figure came from , it's not posted to be confrontational, it's posted to offer information relative to the 2nd video below .. ... and here in the 2nd video is one of the "97%" Scientists named, hear what he has to say about that ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kotqWXZkZS0
