Hello again guys. It is 6.56 AM EST here in dull and shy Western Sydney; most people are asleep.
I was a little bummed that I had a ticket to the Houston TX show but had to sell at a 30% discount $180. Well, Flash Seats took the 10% G.S.T. tax off the top as commission (it was $200 that they sold for in USD and I paid about $237 USD to the ticket retailer).
Just wanted focus on a few key issues and collate those issues into one thread.
So far, sadly, a lot has been said about "did you just have some wine" or "some pills"?
Guys, not happy with you at all, very disappointed in fact. Yeah -- I do suffer from a mental health diagnosis, BUT this discussion THREAD is NOT about me.
All things being equal, I have read some much, much crazier things from people whose only excuse is "I AM A FAN YABADABDOOO!"
Well, I do have a psychiatrist on my side and the treatment medication the can and does neutralize issues of mental disorder in my psyche.
There is and always has been a clear distinction of the Australian way and the ANZAC spirit. The United States of America has always, always being a PATRIOTIC country
Australians are different. We love, we hope, we pray and we tried hard not to break.
Then just as we begin to become an outward-looking country after 13 YEARS of a Labor Hawke/Keating Government...in came John Howard and the Liberal/Nationals parties ready to destroy the joint! George W. Bush, our ex-PM's mate made sure to
read Iraq
instead of, IraN
IRAN has.had nuclear weapons. IraQ didn't -- it had a dictator and lots of oils and commodities.
Anyway, it remains quite clear that the USA is still afraid of itself and won't arch its back up to fight the Persian and Irania dictatorship forces who are putting the boot into Western democratic freedom every day now.
In summing up, the ANZAC way, the Australian spirit of resilience is that despite our shared tongue ---Aussies never, ever kick their mates when the chips are down.
Aussies never slash and burn their loses and FORCE a Global Financial Crisis, instead we squeezed our government CREDIT to pump and prime our economy. Then we need a massive REGRESSIVE TAXATION MEASURE (the CARBON consumer/consumption TAX).
The new Abbott Coalition Govt repealed a Carbon Emissions Trading |Scheme to damage market and consumer confidence just before Christmas ...well, in mid-late July.
This country is swinging slowly back on the political pendulum to the centre-right; to the "Republican" of Australia, Tony Abbott; Julie Bishop, Warren Truss, Ian MacFarlane and the rest of them -- Marise Payne, Mattias Corrman
There is NOTHING wrong with our Government or their people, it is ideological hatreds and ideological stupidity to think you can be so AUSTERE to cut and cut and cut all government spending WITHOUT putting back a REGRESSIVE TAX or RAISING THE G.S.T. TO 15% or, worse, 17.5%.
The Australian Labor Party (which includes myself) just ...is ...was...still is distraught.
I have been tearing up all the time now.
Phillip Hughes -- dead. (He was a Cricketer)
Lone gunman in Sydney CBD and Lindt Café Manager -- dead.
Tony Abbott was, according to a deceased Aunt -- a CANCER.
There is so much right-wing garbage floating about here in Australia.
So much nonsense about how cutting taxes can grow the economy. Look, the Communists in the Greens went too far with their CARBON PRICE/TAX. Labor believes in a floating market price to curb growth and to stem the growing of the massive Ozone hole about Australia.
The Liberals /the Australian Right-wing believe in cutting, slashing, burning and undermining the great reforms of a WOMAN that they could not properly and DID NOT handle well -- the Hon. Julia Gillard, former P.M. of Australia.
Please, you stupid dopes, do not judge me
Read my thread and answer my survey
I just talked a lot of political crap because I went off on a tangent, dammit
Well, I would just like to think about how, where why and what for you Ledgies have such a dig at me
It is because most of you are Americanas from Canada or the USA.
It is and still is a superiority complex.
It is that right-winger mentality of --let us find all the mentally ill, lock ém back up and thrown away that key til the gaols/jails overflow with criminals and the mental health centres overflow with the unwanteds people.
This Australian Country is NOT fascist. WE ARE CENTRISTS.
The American people want to SWING BACK to REPUBLICANS???
PLEASE DO NOT DO IT. PLEASE VOTE FOR HILLARY. PLEASE VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE/.
Or Australia will no sooner latch its forelock ship tuggers back on to the Imperial United Kingdom and the Imperialist-right United States and Canadia/Canada.
Our friends in the UK "Conservative Party" and the "Liberal Democrats" might be wondering about now, what the **** will happen when UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand ALL lurch to the centre-right, well?
Let's not let that happen.
Not in our name, guys, Ledgies.
Treat mentally ill people (like Me and others) with respect, kindness, care and compassion
OR, you can a zane-NIGEL NO FRIENDS and latch on like a goose to IMPERIAL RIGHT-WINGER NUTS.
