Less bogans ?

I've never understood why such an adventurous, brave and usually fearless group of people like the Ozzies go running at the drop of a volcano cloud, earthquake or touch of weather? Especially when all others seem to simply ignore it and go the other way around. Mystifying!

As with most countries we like to have it that our boys (soldiers) are the bravest of the brave. When soldiers of other countries act braver we see them as fanatical. Anyone who puts on a uniform, takes up a gun and runs across a muddy field when told to charge and into the face of barbed wire and bullets is brave. And there are always spontaneous acts of individual heroism. But collectively? With the bombing of Darwin WW2 there was a mass panic and a rush for the highway heading south.

We saw the braveness of the Aussies (and some other expats) during Covid when most ran home as fast as they could, just to be locked up in their own country / state...

Thanks, but no thanks, I like my alternate universe!❤️

Shadrach wrote I am not saying people should feel guilty now what our ancestors did. But just because people have been bad to each other, doesn't justify continued violence, and continued Stupidity. So are you saying leftist want a more peaceful world, and rightist want more violence and war? Is that your narrative?

WTF leftist or rightist have to do with this ? Stop watching FOX and CNN ! Or is that what they learn in your "alternate world" schools ?

Balifrog

Shadrach wrote Oh yea he was just joking, like everything else he says that's stupid and hateful. Only superficial people actually hear what he says, Right! All the rest know, he is the new Messiah that's going to fix all the World's problems.

FFS, he was democratically elected, won by a landslide ! You did NOT vote, so your only right is to shut up.... Ok, education, manners and diplomacy are not his forte. But hey, after all he is American !

Chris A wrote Pray that Trump and his team are successful and the rest of the semi-free world will follow his lead. There are very few true leaders of nations remaining in the world today and unfortunately, aside from their tactics, they are on the "other side".

Pray (with little hope) that Europe will use this opportunity to break free from US control. Pray that Trump will crash NATO, so we can find peace in Europe. Pray that he finds a deal with Vladimir and send Zelinsky back to his comedian activities. And yes, good question, why European countries don't have real head of states anymore ?

Here we go again. I went to some lengths yesterday in responding to ..."such an adventurous, brave and usually fearless group of people like the Ozzies". But then it didn't post. Most countries, including Australia, like to have it that we are the bravest and then, when in war, some other nationals are even braver (as with the Japanese WW2) we describe them as fanatics. There are always some extraordinary people who are capable ot heroism but bravery is often to do with the moment. After the Japanese bombed Darwin there was a huge panic with thousands rushing off to the long highway heading south and with many soldiers making up the numbers. As for "fearless Ozzies" I think I may have previously posted that the three greatest fears of Australians are: 1 That someone will shake the world map and millions of Chinese will pour down into Australia. 2 Being attacked by a shark notwithstanding that the you are eight times more likely to be killed while riding horses and more Australians die each years from dog attacks. 3 Running out of toilet paper. Covid produced this mad supermarket stampede to stock up on toilet paper.

Shadrach wrote Yea that's a great idea to follow the man that that said he could just grab women by the pussy and they like it, because he's rich, and said drink bleach, and that he could just walk down the street and shoot people and he is immune from punishment, and the military should shoot Liz Cheney in the face by a firing squad. Oh yea, you fools think he is going to fix the world!

Chris A wrote You mention in another post "Pray for the UK to break free from the grips of the US" or something of the sort. I fear it goes much deeper. It's the grips of the NWO / Globalist with the US merely being the source of most of the revenue for such. We live in perilous times.

I don't think this was me, I might be wrong, but can you give a link to this as context is missing.

Markit wrote Please link to this statement. I still don't recognize it.

Awww f*ck, it was not you but was Balifrog. My bad. Sorry man.

Shadrach wrote I don't watch MSM. I have only listened to the words, that came directly out of his mouth. Why does everyone defend him and sugar coat his Hateful rhetoric? Hey I don't care anymore. If all of you love him and think he's the cat's meow and that he is going to make it all better, then good luck with that!

That reminds me of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. The Palestinians are called militants and the Israeli are called Defense fighters. While the Israeli's are killing civilians by the thousands now, with American, and European bombs! I hope the Israelis don't run out of toilet paper, while they kill for Peace?

I watched the whole speech and he did make many good points, But he forgot to mention the current society in Australia and America were built on European immigrants that came to these new continents that destroyed the indigenous peoples cultures, and took their land, and left them with marginal land and forced them to adapt to the new invaders culture! He was right about the cost of living as way out of proportionally too high, but he didn't have any solutions to fix the problem except get rid of the current government. He bashed Biden but didn't mention that Trump will do the same, as has every President before. He promoted using coal, and uranium like they are as clean as a baby's bottom, while putting down Green alternatives. He was right about Australia selling the coal to China then buying back Chinese made products. But he didn't offer alternatives. He said he would use nuclear bombs, but as a Christian promoted Peace and not harming others? He is a Trump loving fool, and is a major Kiss Ass! To Trump's authoritarian ideas of ruling America!
