RE: Derek Chauvin...

@jac no it is an avoidance - but yes there has been progress - ummmm a little. it's quite another topic.

RE: Derek Chauvin...

@chesney
Let me see if I can digest that ... no, no you are simply crazy, right? WTF!

RE: Derek Chauvin...

@jim
you think again - the word appears first in my post, and then again in Jac's.

RE: Derek Chauvin...

@jim you need to learn how to address your messages ... it's not hard, just put a name there,

RE: Concerning the non existence of god

@crypto oh no no no
the evangelists outnumber the antis
by at least one degree or two
those
who oppose
are too few by far

RE: Derek Chauvin...

that's true, but consider the shooting and killing by Noor of the Australian woman Justin Damond. Where does that fit in?

RE: Derek Chauvin...

He has NOT been sentenced, and appeals will follow. This is to become saga. Be sure there are many contributing to his defence funding. Law in America is thus. Meanwhile Julian Assange languishes in prison in the UK where laws and extradition are also ponderous.

Lament

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

@swamie 7 metres almost - ah, then you should listen to the Hoffnung telling of 'The Bricklayer's Complaint' ...

RE: There was a young lady from Sale

There are even older Aussie blokes around, don't you know? But I wonder why I get the USA and Aussie likes and emails from these stunning 30-something blondies... I am sure I've set my limits way over that.

RE: Biden to pull US troops from Afghanistan

Who ever had a successful incursion in Afghanistan? Britain? Russia? America? Remember the 1980 Olympics sanctioned by America? Double standards, don't you think? The weapons supplied to the Afghans to fight Russia in 1980 have been used to kill Americans in the 2000's haven't they?

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

'girt' - how quaint! Who has ever used 'girt' apart from quoting the anthem?

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

@merc never thought about it in the driving sense, and that car was a write-off, believe me! Lucky I didn't find the matches too. The shark on the other side of the wave at Maroubra the pothole in Manly harbour beach, other near-death experiences.

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

1964 or 65 in fact

RE: America

@ed lack of balance and thought is a global phenomenon. If you were to listen to our Question time - which is broadcast on ABC TV here in Australia - you would see thoughtful considered debate never happens. In Canada too I surmise you have this broadcast? Just see and hear what your elected parliamentarians have to say.

RE: America

@mic you keep on banging the dementia drum - much of you I can tolerate with a shrug, but in this you are just despicable.

RE: America

Are Americans Stupid?
Clearly not, but what has happened in recent years tells another developing story.

RE: America

@happy I go back a long way - Paul Robeson, Martin Luther; but science and medicine too. Not so much on freedom and equality. No presidents, and surely not McCarthy

RE: America

@mic you overestimate your importance. And you will never see me thinking Trumpese or Bushish. Try mentioning some Americans that are indeed admirable, there are many.

RE: America

@rose - but rose we do not need America to be able to think. On the contrary, when USA is not in the picture, thinking can often be clearer.

RE: America

@lou^2 'drivel' - a word I see in common with another later thread by the oft deleted rose who by any other name might be 'thorn', perhaps. People do unsheath their claws don't they!? Makes me think of fourcheeses who disappeared a month ago but has not yet reappeared. So she picked it up and repeated it it, clearly.

RE: Going Def

and on going deaf - another more dynamic performance by Dame Evelyn

@swamie
There is a text/font control below
It has: B I U S IMG YOUTUBE and Colour Controls.
Not to mention Size!

RE: Am I welcome back on the blogs???

Whyever would you not be welcome! Of course you are!

RE: Songs I don't get tired of hearing...

I see that link comes up with a BUY ME request - so here is one of the Les Paul Mary Ford classic they did earlier

RE: Songs I don't get tired of hearing...

Am I allowed to add this?

How high the moon

RE: Songs I don't get tired of hearing...

Speaking of Brecht, nothing of his ever tires or fades ... listen to the rrrrrrrrrrrrr in these songs also in Italian

RE: Songs I don't get tired of hearing...

Doing the Chinese retro thing, who can forget 'meigui meigui wo ai ni'

and a Frankie Laine version...

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

As far as I know
no one
thinks of you
as a bogan
and if they do
who gives a stuff
a shrug is enough
you're surely a rogue one

RE: Validity of Freewill

Well I can remember leaving and being left and having no choice either way. Pain both ways.
