  1. Tell someone who gives a FF for your opinion.
  2. I did preface my post with IMO. Didn't your education stretch to understanding what acronyms and abbreviations are?
  3. Nobody is going to think you are a <deleted> if you wear a Nike or Adidas hat.
  4. They are made in both countries, what part of the statement don't you understand?
  5. So you can tell the difference between a person wearing a MAGA hat made in California, and a person wearing a MAGA copy made in China? It's a hole you dug yourself, perhaps you'll get all the way there.
  6. Want to bet the knockoffs made in China are more expensive than the official version? Your post is inaccurate, MAGA hats/caps are made in both places. The AP article itself says that. Where are Trump gold sneakers and Trump bibles produced?
  7. The irony of wearing a hat made in China is lost on them.
  8. Internet in Australia is 2-3 times slower than in Thailand, and 3-4 times as expensive. In the capital cities and suburbs. Where I used to camp, I got ABC broadcasts at 6 pm. The nearest landline phone was 20 km away, at a homestead. The lousy internet in Australia is courtesy of a conservative government, who thought they could save money by relying on an ageing copper network. It's cost more instead.
  9. How about emu burgers, and corned kangaroo?
  10. Wearing a suit designed to look like a wall only proves the guy is as thick as one of the bricks in it. Who is he trying to look like, Tom Selleck?
  11. Most of the larger towns in the region boast a Chinese restaurant. Before calcivirus, when I ordered a chicken chow mein, it was short odds I was getting rabbit instead. But you're right, it's no country for old men.
  12. They probably were not before I posted.
  13. By making things that people want cheaper and better? The ship has already sailed as far as electric cars are concerned.
  14. I doubt I would want to wear anything that proclaims I am less intelligent than average.
  15. Plenty of places in Australia that are not under a flight path. As Henry Blake/MacLean Stevenson, said, I'm staring into a big empty. The only contrail visible in outback New South Wales is a Hercules ferrying supplies from Sydney to Pine Gap, a secretive US base.
  16. IMO there were two turning points in the campaign. The first was when Harris filleted Trump in the last presidential debate. Billionaires realized their tax free ride was at serious risk. The second was the assassination attempt on Trump, backed up by a second incident. Be that as it may, perhaps you can point me to any predictions I made regarding the election outcome. OTOH, most economists agree tariffs and deporting the cheapest labor is going to be inflationary. That's not a prediction, it's Economics 101.
  17. You are not whining about posters who call out Trump and the MAGA cult for what they are? Enjoy the honeymoon. While inflation in the US is still 2.9%.
  18. The implication was there, denial is not a river in Egypt. As for yes man groups, guess what Trump has surrounded himself with?
  19. So do I. The implication I am gay only serves to establish your homophobic credentials. Should I add bigotry and racism?
  20. My GF showed me a photo of herself when she was in her twenties, with her very young daughter. She was quite porky. She is not all that disciplined in what she eats, but is very dedicated in her exercise regimes. Gets stressed if she hits 43 kg. What percentage of women are obese because they have mental or physical issues, and what percentage are fat because they have no self-control? Call me shallow if you want, I prefer slim feminine women.
  21. My views are independent of anyone else's on this forum. I post facts, popular with some, not with others. OTOH, there is a wailing Greek chorus of MAGA morons ready to descend on anything I post. Are you part of that cabal?
  22. It's called American exceptionalism, there's little difference between it and Hitler's notion of Aryan superiority. In reality, America has the world's highest prison population. The wealth disparity is so huge just three men in the USA have more combined wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans. Its tax system is so screwed up billionaires pay less tax than the receptionists and janitors in the properties they own. Yet this is accepted as normal, which only confirms Einstein's observation about the Universe and human stupidity. It also spends $820 billion on its military, far more than any other nation. At the same time, it spends about $130 billion on infrastructure, then probably wonders why it only has 80 km of high speed rail. Too busy building walls. Just a couple of examples of what is wrong with America, let the ad hominem attacks begin.
  23. IMO airlines should start charging a premium, based on the percent increase over normal body mass index. Alternatively, put them in first or business class, with corresponding costs.
  24. AFAIK the ratings are not done on the basis of the number of posts, they are done on the basis of the number of positive emoticons they get. Easy to see why you never appear in the ratings.
