[Marty_d]

My major concern about what people have or had in their pants when it comes to sport. Even tjings like darts and snooker. Men are generally taller than women so have an advantage with reach.

Whilst I don't doubt that there are problems to be worked out, it is not insurmountable.  Consider a sport such as wrestling or boxing. Within one gender, there is a range of sizes and weights.  They don't pair up a 110kg competitor with a 60kg competitor. They have weight classes.   The fact is that sport only works when it is competitive. We don't team up professionals with amateurs; it would not be interesting to watch.  The point is that these problems have solutions.   

 

In any case, the sports argument is often that is presented is "what about sport" as if this is an argument against trans is and an argument about sports.  Now personally, I have little interest sport however, I suspect these issues of competitiveness regarding gender are as solvable as problems of different weight and size, as well as experience.

There IS generally a Mens and a Womens sport separation, but not always.  In the recent Finke River event, IT was all in. To my observation Most disputation on this Matter is Very anti , sex change people. .  Nev

I don’t want to see blokes in women’s mud wrestling.

[red750]

That's mild compared to some things on the net.

Would you feel better about if they were wearing full PPE?

Women might like to see blokes mud wrestling.  They PERV too.  Nev

Too true. But somehow the world seems to think otherwise.

[Siso]

Finke is a free for all but they still have a womens class, which by the way i think is a great thing.  Love seeing women compete in things like motorcycle riding. Tried to get my daughter into it a bit, she can ride but was more academic type.

There were about 5 Women in the Last event. They Placed in and ran with all the Others. IF someone decides to rate how they rated between themselves THAT is not really doing anything special for them. They started based on established times like any other competitor in the event. Nev

The US is planning to spend $42 million to build a munitions storage facility in the Albury/Wodonga area.

Well, I hope we make a lot of money from it and they are building us an effective iron dome

Oh, great.

 

Just what we need.

 

Another big target on our backs.

[pmccarthy]

$42 M in Australia today does not buy you a radio announcer or a union delegate, let alone a munitions storage.

[old man emu]

Trump has debunked the adage that wisdom comes with age.

[onetrack]

The only thing needed for munitions storage is a large cleared area in a rural location, with substantial earth bunds around the perimeter to deflect any detonated munitions blast.

 

Then they just set out sea containers at spaced intervals to store the munitions. If large missiles are needed to be stored, these may require a concrete and earth hardened bunker.

 

Not much threat to us, but the earthmovers and concrete suppliers will be clinking champagne glasses when they get the construction job.

It's in a PHON electorate, so all will be well.   Nev

[old man emu]

To paraphrase an old saying, He who lives by the Law, dies by the Law.

 

There is a law in the USA which says that if a terrorist organisation attacks US interests with drones, that organisation cannot be removed from the list of terrorist organisations for four years. In April 2026, the US Administration informed the Congress that an Iranian organisation ws hitting US interests with drones. The nett result is that the US cannot lift sanctions against Iran as promised in the current peace agreement.

 

This video explains it.

 

 

[facthunter]

How Ridiculous to Make such a Law, but Trump takes NO notice of any Rules, Laws or Protocols. He's a LAW unto Himself. Anyone with even 1/2 a Brain can work out that's NOT on. Nev

A lot of people Have died who needn't have. Lives don't matter where the Privileged Money is at stake and Egos drive events more than Facts and logic. Nev

[rgmwa]

A law means nothing to Trump even if he knew about it, which is unlikely. His performance at the G7 was pathetic. He's so transparently out of his depth, inarticulate and now floundering to defend his bad Iran deal, that it's hard to believe this is an American president. I don't hate Trump, but I don't understand how anyone could have any respect or admiration for him.
