RE: Outrageous In 2020

Trump is right. Bernie has missed his opportunity. If he were ever going to win the nomination, it would have been in 2016. He has even less chance in 2020.

RE: Who wants to see the anterior procedure incision for my new left hip joint?

Not me.

No doubt the small child is called Jonah.....

RE: why do some people talk about things that happened years ago and blame parents for stuff that is bad

Au contraire, I'm sure he thinks he was a lovely dog......

RE: Ansti Omar.

I'm not a fan of Ilhan Omar, who is frankly not that welcome in the West.

But I do take issue with the false claim of "anti semitism". All she has said is that pro-Israel activists unduly influence American politics. And one would have to have had one's head in the sand for the last 100 years to deny that is the truth.

RE: Anyone wanna chat about brexit? (btw im serious this isnt a joke)

A statement so absurd that no response is needed.

RE: Toxic & Negative People - How to get rid of them!

This seems to me a pretty "toxic" response to a poster who had been reasonable and polite.

RE: Did you know....

Really?

RE: Did you know....

Ugh! That's creepy!

RE: #Shutdown

Nah, Malcolm Fraser wasn't much better than Gough Whitlam, although a bit less hopeless with balancing the books, I suppose.

In the USA there is a real difference today between the two parties, something just about unheard of in history lol. I don't want to see Trump go, but would be nice if they could sack all the Democrats from the House and Senate - remember it is the Democrats who are causing these shutdowns.

RE: NO COLLUSION... MOVE ON!

A nonsensical post.

Firstly, what does the fact that he is a billionaire have to do with anything? Like "Mykingdom" you seem to be bandying that word about as though it is some kind of offensive slur. Perhaps out of jealousy?

Secondly, if Trump were "mainly interested in making money" as you claim, he would not have run for President in the first place, something that all sides agree has cost him millions upon millions of dollars, partly in funding his campaign, partly in his enforced absence from business affairs, and partly due to a backlash against anything with his name on it.

Thirdly, I think it is fair to say that, despite being the richest man ever to run for President, Trump has shown, during the campaign and since, that he cares more about the unemployed and working class people of "flyover America" than any other President has done, in living memory.

RE: What is most attractive to women?

I am sure you do, but as you are yourself a woman, and do not have facial hair, it seems unlikely to me that anyone would be refusing to talk to you because you do......

RE: What is most attractive to women?

Well, you are probably not flirting or interacting with women on dating sites, lol. Unless you are a lesbian, and in that case, facial hair wouldn't likely be an issue.....

I can assure you I have received multiple messages from women rejecting me explicitly on the basis of a moustache. Plus plenty of others who probably don't bother writing a rejection message at all.....

But that's life. And if that is her attitude, it is no loss to me.

We all have different preferences; some deep, some superficial.

RE: What is most attractive to women?

A lot of women will refuse to even talk to a man with facial hair, so they will never know whether he has a good heart or not.

Of course, men can be as bad. A woman with a chest like Pamela Anderson will always get more messages than a woman with a chest like Twiggy.

Are you sure that schools in Haiti can afford counsellors?

RE: NO COLLUSION... MOVE ON!

Actually, I do believe he was murdered, although almost certainly not by either the CIA nor the KGB!

RE: Why? Why?

"Always" is an exaggeration. But you are right that many, many do. "Oh I made a mistake when filling out the age field in my profile - I accidentally typed 32 instead of 51" - I have had messages like this countless times.

Islands In The Stream? Written by the Bee Gees. More beardies! Crikey.

RE: What is most attractive to women?

Meet Me Halfway? A fantastic 80s song from Kenny Loggins. He had a beard, too.

RE: NO COLLUSION... MOVE ON!

Ain't that the truth!

A few years ago, I remember searching online about the mysterious death of Pope John Paul I, who died unexpectedly after only 33 days in office, in 1978. One website assured me with utter confidence that the Pope had been murdered by the CIA as he was a pinko, and too sympathetic to the Soviet bloc. The very next website I visited, assured me with equal confidence, that the Pope had been murdered by the KGB due to his stridently anti-communist outlook.

RE: NO COLLUSION... MOVE ON!

Personally I support Trump, but I do understand there may be legitimate reasons for people to personally oppose him. But surely the fact that he is rich is not a valid reason? To use "multi-billionaire" as though it is some kind of insult seems rather silly.

RE: #Shutdown

Remember what happened in Australia in 1975, when they effectively had a "shutdown" and were unable to pay federal employees.

The Governor General stepped in, sacked the lot of them, and called a fresh election.

RE: You favourite dating shows?

The only TV dating show I have ever watched was "The Love Connection" with Chcuk Woollery, an American show from the late 1980s, where one "contestant" was matched with three possible "dates" and had to choose one.

I remember only two things about it. One, the host telling us that he drives a Toyota. And two, the fact that if the contestant was White, the three possible dates were always White. If the contestant was coloured, the three possible dates were always coloured. This racial segregation struck me as rather quaint, and surprising, for the late 80s.

RE: Anyone wanna chat about brexit? (btw im serious this isnt a joke)

Remember when Neil Kinnock wanted to abolish Britain's nuclear deterrent and was asked what he would do if the Soviets invaded. His reply was "their invasion would fail due to popular resistance".

A rampaging mob of Yorkshire farmers with mutton chop sideburns and pitchforks, perhaps?

RE: What is most attractive to women?

I am being somewhat facetious. I have a moustache and I like to see other men with moustaches, but to answer your question seriously, it is my observation that the large majority of women prefer men with no facial hair.

RE: What is most attractive to women?

Moustaches all the way!

RE: Anyone wanna chat about brexit? (btw im serious this isnt a joke)

It's primarily your own politicians who are playing you.

RE: Anyone wanna chat about brexit? (btw im serious this isnt a joke)

So you think the EU is democratic???!!!!!!!!

Despite the fact that the so-called "European Parliament" can not actually make or introduce any laws, and instead only chatter about decisions already made by technocrats behind the scenes?

RE: Toxic & Negative People - How to get rid of them!

Agreed.

And now even masculinity is "toxic"......?
