Here's another Leunig for good measure, a-propos the voting rights. Since the banning of guns about 25 years ago, there has been a small pro-guns party called the Shooters-Party, hence the 'I shoot' on the t-shirt
Where do you hear such a thing? There is a housing crisis. It is always possible some idiot landlord might say something like that to an Irish applicant who was laying on the blarney with a trowel. There is of course no government policy of any such kind, and absence of policy is largely to blame. Homelessness may be on the rise too, it being high summer. Failing Ireland, maybe the Irish could save America instead.
so the Senate is determined to reject the Biden Immigration bill to ensure he gets no kudos in an election year, hmmm? Or am I wrong, the integrity of GOP and Trump will shine through in the interests of the nation and the common man? If I were a betting man, I know where my $million would be, at 50:1 for sure. It is pretty cynical hypocrisy don't you think?
... therefore, for variety you introduced a new topic 'Survival of the Kakapo' for discussion, and regaled us with stories of the Kea stealing the laces from your climbing boots outside Tasman hut in 1952 and other such things of interest. But no, just Andie MacDowell - not that she's so bad!
No he didn't. Someone writing about him adapted his words and deliberately misquoted. I see you read what you want to see and not what is written. It seems you think people belong to the country of their ancestors and not to where they live. Are you also anti-semitic by chance? You sure have that aura about you.
Voting entitlement for non citizens seems very peculiar, indeed.
Why on earth one would want to vote NO however I simply cannot comprehend!
I trust the NOs will be soundly defeated. Yet Referenda are incredibly hard to pass, particularly here in Australia. Bring in the Republic Referendum again!
Do you actually believe a word of that? You are demented. Biden has done nothing much great and nothing at all bad, as far as I can tell. Sure inflation is a world-wide problem, not of Biden's making, but employment is just about record high, NAZDAQ is 70% up on Nov 2019, the economy is doing great guns. What has Biden wrecked? Your imagination runs riot, you WISH Biden were ruining America, and to you a wish becomes a fact.
Norway's Permanent Immigration figures for recent years show just less than 40,000 and that's proportional to Australia's at 190,000 with 5 times the population. The refugee intake at 38,000 strikes one as generous. Syria and India amounted to about 8% of immigration. To me there is no indication of racism Or xenophobia.
The preference for white or sameness, mentioned in the original words, is not necessarily racism (nor was it called such), but may well be xenophobia. The @GS reference to Japanese racism is almost certainly xenophobia rather than racism, and perhaps the Norwegian sentiment is the same. There is little doubt the 'TOO WHITE' blogger was outright racist however.
Caring for and representing ordinary Americans includes 6 bankruptcies The six bankruptcies were the result of over-leveraged hotel and casino businesses in Atlantic City and New York: Trump Taj Mahal (1991), Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1992), Plaza Hotel (1992), Trump Castle Hotel and Casino (1992), Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004), and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009). In the course of those bankruptcies how many ordinary Americans - Tradesmen Contractors Decorators did he leave with negligible cents in the dollar. Late payment and unilateral discounting is his business model as you can see. That is care for and concern for the ordinary Joe Blow, right? These bankruptcies cost his workers contractors and investors hundreds of millions.
You are mistaken - there are at least four accepted spellings of capiche/capeesh/capisce but I prefer capiche. It is not necessarily a warning at all, but not exactly friendly and jovial. Someone here didn't like my 'Got it?' and was offended, I assume they would have taken offence at 'capiche?' too
And you in your myopic tunnel-visioned view of things think that whatever H Biden may have done somehow justifies what Trump is known to have done? Focus focus, Trump done Foke-us all!
I recall the thrupence, the smallest silver coin we had up till the 60s. I distinctly remember the smell of the pennies and ha'pennies but after Federation (1901) Australia never had the farthings. Sorry @OP just an excursion down 1950s memory lane.
Photos or images need a URL - they have to be on an internet site. If you want to insert personal images, you need to have a website to upload them to first - imgur.com, imgbb.com allow you to create your own personal account where you can upload photos first, and get a URL to share them here. Not straightforward, but not so hard. You cannot upload here direct from your own computer. Maybe from Facebook, but I am not sure.
I assume just random detritus, an example of something you think sounds erudite but is in fact simply nonsense. Perhaps I misjudge you (don't think so for a millisecond) and there is some literary allusion? If so let the cat out of the bag, grandad.
Just listening to Planet America: From July 2022 to Jan 2024, 64,000 pregnancies have resulted from rape, in states where abortion for any reason is forbidden. Who is going to save American women from Trump and the Republicans?
1 I said the follow-up to 9/11 - invasions imprisonment persecution and torture. Work on your reading. 2 Left, Right, the World and history all know and confirm it. And it is still reds under the bed of one kind or another 3 Utter nonsense. You do talk ignorant cr*p!
