Israeli government

[Yenn]

Donald Trump has declared that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

 

Now I know Israel has been pulling the strings in the USA for years, but I hadn't realised that they had made Trump their dictator..

 

Really it is just an aside from trump to hide all his lack of achievment.

 

What surprises me is that all the media report what trump says, but none of them seem to wonder if it can be trus.

 

Can Trump really change the capital of another country.

 

If he can would he please make the capital of Australia the Australian Antarctic Territory.

That would be terribly unfair to the penguins.

At least knowing where their parents and grand parents were born there'd be no dual citizenship confusion.

 

P.S.

 

Do you have to be and Israeli citizen to select a national capital?

 

 

[old man emu]

No it's your muscle memory in your fingers because you type "and" more often than "an". My muscle memory keeps making me type 'teh' instead of 'the'

 

 

[willedoo]

Trump's like a big fart. A lot of noise and hot air.

 

First Doublya, now Bozo. So where does America go from here? Ronald McDonald for President, perhaps. There was talk of Oprah running for President. She'd do a lot better job than the comedians and used car salesmen that they've been electing for a long time now.

 

 

[Yenn]

Come on. Since when has the USA had a comedian?

 

Their so called comedians are so bad that even the ABC doesn't do re runs of their shows.

Muscle memory or dyslexia. I can remember when I had muscles. Nev

My auto-correct lets me choose by underlining in red an incorrect word. Win 10.

 

And I have to reread my writing to see all mistakes ,Lots.

Cant remember muscles. Nev.

 

I can't remember dil sexier.

 

 

[facthunter]

Had an impoverished upbringing Yenn. Walked, rode a push bike and swam a lot.. No car for a long time. Nev

 

 

[nomadpete]

When i were a kid, we were sooo poor we didn't even have autocorrect

 

 

[Old Koreelah]

Autocorrect? Luxury! ....

 

 

[old man emu]

When I were kid, we were sooo poor we couldn't afford a rubber. Had to spit on finger and rub away at paper with damp digit.

 

 

[Yenn]

When I were a kid the rubbers had to be spat on and then they abraded the paper. It is amazing to think of all the things we didn't have as a kid.

 

Mc Donalds, TV. Videos. LP records. DVDs and CDs, plastic except for bakelite, LED lights

It's amazing how times and technology have changed. There's still a lot of people alive who rode on the back of animals to school.

 

I've even heard that in the old days before electronics, family members spent their evenings talking to each other. That's strange behaviour nowdays..

 

 

[spacesailor]

Or the wealthy would READ books & papers.

Several of us rode a big grey mare to school and I still use the kerosene lamp during blackouts.

I love the smell of a kero lantern; always use them on the rare occasion I go camping. It's a very nostalgic, old world smell.

 

 

[nomadpete]

The list is very long. I get quite a thrill when I contemplate the changes I've lived through. I enjoyed most of my childhood. The lack of technology never compromised our enjoyment of life. I wonder how that translates to the life experiences of our grandchildren. I really hope that they enjoy their journey as much as I have.

 

 

[facthunter]

I doubt they are as resourceful. A catastrophe is when the Supermarket runs out of potato chips or diet Coke. or the car has a flat tyre. Noticed after they have gone about 10 kms. Nev

 

 

[facthunter]

Or the Night Soil man. Plenty of improvements. How much do we appreciate them? Hot water on tap is the biggest luxury. Taken for granted when there's still a large % who have to carry water considerable distances for personal use. Nev

 

 

[old man emu]

I suppose the phrase "Coming home with the milkman" makes no sense now to Millennials.

 

 

[nomadpete]

Ah, the night soil carter.

 

Now there's a shitty job.

 

 

[nomadpete]

And mum didn't need a car because we rode our bikes to school, and mum bought veg from the roving mobile fruit and veg truck, the milk and bread was delivered daily, and the butcher shop was within (not so short) walking distance. Even after the ice man stopped delivering, with all fresh produce so easily available, a fridge was a(expensive) luxury.

 

And yet, amazingly, our quality of life didn't suffer. Nor did our happiness.

 

 

[Yenn]

I remember when the night soil truck turned over in Gladstone.

 

One of the men was wading around in the muck and his mate asked him what he was doing. He explained that he was looking for his jacket and the mate said "forget it you wouldn't wear it would you"

 

He replied " No But my lunch is in the pocket"
