You dont need to google words to puff out the reply.

If you think he had to google that, you got problems.

How do you Google a thought process you already have to ascertain what the term is?

Youre reply speaks volumes. Must be a lefty thing.

I guess youd struggle to use a dictionary with your logic.

You can tell when all other avenues of argument are exhausted, when people start attacking your command of the English language. Come back to me when you want to have a debate on topic and of substance without resorting to ad homs.

The moment you have anything of substance to say at all, ill refute it, until them keep flipping the script to try and come off as the person that didnt resort to as homs in the first place. The term you used was "apathetic". If previous posts are anything to go off, its most likely another time you needed to use google.

You said yourself you can't name 5 politicians in Australia? Is that not apathy? Maybe you need to Google it. I generally have civil discussion with everyone else on both sides of the spectrum with the exception of Col on this thread, so I have a pretty good idea where the problem is.

Anyway, I'm done, have the last say Stryker.

.........and still waiting for that substance, doubt it would have even come anyway. Its amusing that youre not used to someone calling you out and highlighting you're not the great intellectual you bounce around in your own head. Im not here to stroke a lefties ego. You support a damaged ideology and no matter how disingenuous you are by saying you want discussion from both sides of the spectrum youll always hold your bias thats been on full display for all to see and will continue to stick your head in the sand. That unjustified ego just wont let it go.

And thats the second time in half a year you've called me Stryker. You have a real problem when someone doesnt agree with what you say, i guess thats just another example of you being disingenuous about wanting a civil conversation. You still having a bit of PTSD from all those times Stryker called you out too?

That explains a lot.

Politics has always played a role in many people's sense of identity, but increasingly we're identifying with an opposition to, or even hatred of, the other side, rather than a sense of belonging to your own side. I'm a dyed in the wool leftie and as a result, am always going to disagree with a right-wing perspective in a number of policy areas. But at the end of the day, 90% of Australians want 90% of the same thing. Let's stop calling people dumb and stupid just because we come from different sides of aisles. And seriously, w/o the right we wouldn't have basic principles of freedom and democracy and w/o the left we wouldn't have basic workplaces rights and social services that are absolutely essential to have a dignified existence.

Given the current doctrines of the education system, LNP will likely need to change tack or face an extended period in opposition.

Many kids come out of school these days with very left leaning views.

“Show me a young man who is not on the left, I’ll show you a man with no heart. Show me an old man who is not on the right, I’ll show you a man with no brain”

Stryker, really? Nah, couldn't be him, could it, surely not, as I cannot recall even him acting as ridiculously?

I applaud you for not taking the easy personal option of banning him, however he should have been based on the continual personal attacks over these past pages and expect that the only reason he survives, is it's likely that Willow has lot been looking at this thread lately.

I also thank the other generallyw right leaning contributors for your contribution in separating yourselves from his statements by your absence.

It really doesn't matter who you vote for...Its a personal choice as to your attitude in life is,its your business...
I learnt a long time ago from a wise old man...never argue politics or religion ...it ends badly..

I think attitude is the operative word there TT, with the way you act towards others being the big thing, regardless of politics. As for religion, all for anyone wanting to believe and for living a life under the ten commandments or similarly, which I and many others do without belief. Just cannot cop those of supposed faith that condone and vote for those that have policies and/or carry out acts that don't resemble the doctrine.

Bloomberg is fighting fire with Fire with his advertising campaign. It’s the only way you can beat him. Bernie and Warren aren’t going to beat him by taking the moral high ground.

Could be, as the state's has a very distorted view on what socialism is. Still, only a few predicted the original Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon victory and similarly low numbers had him crumbling so terribly on the back of the women's strong congressional vote turning against him.

I heard one of those same few somewhere a week or so ago and ignoring Bloomberg, stating that the numbers she was seeing on the ground in the important states, was pointing to their being similar trend as the mid terms. Being that the former female swing vote remained, with a newly increased young vote more than making up for a for some lost votes to Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, which were mainly from the older well off.

Crooked Hillary couldn’t beat him by spending much more than Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon. It didn’t work then and it won’t work this time.

To win an election, you need to have better policies than your opponents. The dems don’t have any policies except impeachment.

Sanders has policies, insane ones, but policies.

The dems know that Sanders is unelectable so they are pushing for an older, white, billionaire to hopefully beat another older, white, billionaire. Go figure.

It is interesting watching the political advertising over the last week here.. all and sundry are driving the point that a Billionaire is corrupt and out of touch, yet as stated above looks like Bloomberg will be the challenger ! obviously a democratic Billionaire is not corrupt or out of touch ..but Mr Bloomberg has stated that manual workers are low rent go figure .
To be frank watching the Democratic advertising is pathetic .. travelling around this great country things look pretty good at present as someone that has travelled here for over 30 yrs can attest to as I have been here when things have been bad .

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Bllomerberg is putting more money towards his campaign than Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon’s entire net worth. That’s funny.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Wasn't Bloomberg a Republican?

EDIT: Just looked it up, he has been all over the shop. Democrat, Republican, Independent...
