Well maybe YOU used to. I guess you are quite a bit older than I.

I disagree there. Netanyahu owes Trumpy & USA for the weapons used, and Netanyahu has achieved his primary goal, so he can let USA have some credit. Besides, he has pretty much destroyed Gaza. Made much of it unlivable, and displaced million (?) of Palastinians. And he expects to control the land anyway. The way I see it.... job done! (From Bibi's perspective) Oh and also, we haven't heard exactly where the new Trump Tower and beachside golf course is going to be built.

You're not listening, are you! I just told you I'm NOT paranoid.

We don't want the world to know we are here.

Yeah, I noticed its been a bit breezy lately. Can't have been all that windy - there hasn't been a tree across my driveway for months. Actually although we are up high, we are relatively 'shielded' by a ring of 50mtr high blue gums. At times they get quite a dance going - it's amazing how far they can sway without coming down. Don't worry Nev, the house is 51mtrs from any of them.

Yeah, know. I'm not paranoid. You all DO hate me.

Gee thanks Jerry. Now I am going to have nightmares. As if I wasn't already paranoid enough.

tRump Cirus is in full swing....

Further about the revenge culture which half of americans are crying out for:

Below I borrowed from another forum. It quotes a survey by MyGov/The Economist. What I think it really shows is political fallout from a decaying culture in US. "Who are the Trump voters uneasy with the politics of punishment? Our analysis says they are more likely to be women and older voters, as well as those with higher levels of education and those who say they attend church regularly. Respondents who pay less attention to day-to-day politics are also more likely to recoil."

An interesting development, if it actually does happen. But one point mentioned might be cause angst for a lot of average punters:- If they can go back that far for this particular issue, can they also for other tax disagreements?

Looks to me like he has gilt on his head.

That name has too many syllables. Can we just use a single word-name? Maybe 'Gropefuhrer'?

Sure is. But that's the definition of a 'Gripe' So quit griping about it.

That's fair enough. I wouldn't be touching bats, live nor dead. But You would be the first person I know who is plagued by dead bats. Do you live in a belfry?

Sure bats are a issue. But at least they don't migrate across the world every year. I worry that avian virus importation from asian wet markets (& labs) is a high risk for major mortality in homo sapiens. My gripe is that DFAT isn't doing enough to stop these undesirable migrants.

Glass half full, OME? Look on the bright side.... at least mozzies can't get through your window mesh like those other little bugs.

If true, it would pose a orkward logistical load on Ukraine.

If he carks it, he'll make a potarse deal with Dog and come back for it.

I expect that the WA police are using standard gun laws to address dodgy gun ownership. At present, claims of soverign citizenship are not a recognised legal status, so I expect would be irrelevant.

I think Nev is suggesting that he incinerates spiders because they 'harbour a lot of diseases'. Bats (or birds) are another discussion.

Really? Got any links to peer reviewed studies on this?

I don't think outlawing sov citz is smart. It only helps them confirm their beliefs. Maybe if someone sets up a soverign citizen register, then they can be true to their belief. And we can cancel all priviliges that otherwise come to those who choose to live in accordance with accepted ground rules - such as laws of the country. Cancel all right to drive vehicles, access medicare and social security. If they are not able to provide their own alternative set of rules to live by, then they are regressing back to tribal anarchy which has always ended badly. It currently doesn't work too well in the middle east.
