Grumpy Old Nasho

So you reckon 15 deaths and 24 injured wasn't that bad? There's more attacks to come if the root cause isn't dealt with in the meantime.

Some are saying he's a Maronite Christian. But whatever he is, he wouldn't have known the shooter he tackled was a muslim terrorist. He just saw someone shooting and waited for his chance to pounce on him.

You can be certain I won't be voting next election, nor any other election, not while ever the ALP and the Coalition rule Australia. You can see now where they are failing. On another message board before this one, I was constantly warning, for years, about the dangers of Islam. I didn't raise the issue in this board because it's not what you blokes talk about. But this Bondi attack didn't surprise me at all, and I'm past sympathizing with victims, they just refused to learn. I am not the only one who's been warning everyone, thousands of other knowledgeable and perceptive people have been warning us also. No one is waking up, how long will it take? What does "root cause" mean?, it's not guns, gun control has been tried. The root cause is the continued belief that not all muslims are terrorists, and that only some are bad. Taking it further, the bad ones are let into Australia along with all the other muslims, some of which become violent sooner or later. They either become involved with ISIS, or the Muslim Brotherhood, and all that they stand for. After each attack, I would say: "Expect more attacks", well, you just saw another one, at Bondi this time. Expect more attacks in the future if we don't get to the root cause and eliminate it completely.

Muslim sons are taught to hate the Jews, and Christians.

They were a concern, but thought to be low risk by Security. Silly Burgess. Islam should be banned from Australia entirely, it's impossibly to control it. A quiet unassuming muslim can be your worst enemy if he's always reading the Qaran.

I'm waiting for the Police to say: "There's no further danger to the Public".

The Security agencies really stuffed up didn't they? Right now Albo is on TV reading an off-the-shelf speech.

This is one job we could be re-conscripted for, something worthwhile. We were told to keep our certificates of discharge in case we were needed again. Well we are needed again now, I would volunteer. What's the latest Army rifle?, I'd take one and get to work.

Oct 7th comes to Australia. Congratulations Albo.

What has Labor done now? Ripping off the taxpayer, that's their game, always has been.

You're dead right about that, I lost. Glad you put it that way. Trump got it right, we were suckers and losers. Let's make sure criminal ballots like that never happen again.

You're being absurd, you're asserting that generations of offspring in a convict line are technically immigrants. Convicts were prisoners in a colony. Their only paper work was a certificate of release from incarceration at the end of their sentence, and certainly had no personal bank account. Had they not been arrested for their misdemeanour back home, they would have still been residing there in Britain, poor, and unable to travel anywhere. Suffice to say I don't subscribe to the lefty progressive's ridiculous assertion that we are a nation of immigrants, and trying to convince us into thinking we have no right to have influence over present and future immigration outcomes. It's bad enough that the major parties have joined to block discussion about it, and that's one of the reasons I've never voted for them.

Does that even make sense? Emigrating to where ever requires a conscious decision on the part of the potential immigrant, and for permission to be given by the receiving nation. To say convicts were immigrants, surmises that the Aboriginals gave them permission to settle here. Nothing could be further from the truth. The convicts were made to settle here by the Poms, with redcoats to ensure a semblance of law and order.

That's right, personally I'm not. And my line weren't either, they were convicts, not immigrants.

There's plenty of Aussie identity out here in the bush. We think "Aussie", we talk "Aussie", and we act "Aussie". Drive out to a rural location and strike up a conversation with a local. If you are Aussie yourself, you'll feel the instant connection of "Australianness", and feel your inherent Aussie identity. Unfortunately it's only in the bush now, the cities have adopted a different identity, what it is, I'm not sure, something strange even they're not sure about.

I'm still not an immigrant.

I think the fine ends up as a form of charity that goes to battered wives and the homeless, which the government caused in the first place. It's a vicious circle, but the fine does more good than my vote ever would, because I could never stomach voting for the dictatorial two party duopoly, they always win no matter what, and they always intend to. And of course, I can't forget the inhuman treatment afforded to me as a conscript, not thanked, not compensated, just treated like trash during and after. I can't vote for any mob who treats young blokes with borderline autism like that, I'm not that forgiving. They can rot in Hell.

I'm not struggling to pay my power bills, but I do have an opinion about them being too high. We were promised lower power costs, then got the opposite.

Speak for yourself. I'm a 5th generation Aussie, I'm no immigrant, neither are millions of other traditional Aussies, and we will rightfully express concerns, whatever they are.

The major parties have it all rigged to allow themselves to rule Australia for as long as they think they can get away with it. Notice how they have timelines of 2030 for fulfilling climate policy, and 2050 for nuclear submarine policy. They know they'll still be ruling Australia by then. So what's the use of voting. The major parties close ranks when they feel threatened. They jailed Hanson to show her who is boss. Members of the major parties have committed murder, fraud, and sex offenses. Why wouldn't they let a few muslem wives and children of fanatical head decapitating muslem ISIS terrorists back in? Way to go for the Labor government. The excuse is: "They are citizens of Australia" - yeah, but who wants them here? I stopped voting altogether, I pay the tyrannical fines instead. Compulsory voting is just another way to keep the system rigged in favor of the ALP/Coalition duopoly. If it wasn't beneficial to them, we'd be voting another way, which ever way it takes to benefit the Duopoly. When a democracy is rigged, the ultimate protest is to simply stop voting.

He'll be called racist for marrying a white girl.

Stay on topic. The word "bro" is taking hold. It should be banned, it's unAustralian and there should be fines for saying it.

Trump is continuing to clean up the United States, making it livable again.

Power companies supply power when they're not cutting it off. There's been over 300 outages since 2013. I make a note of each one, jotting down date and time. Many of which are 5-6 hrs duration. This last one was 30hrs. It was hot weather as well, so little chance for perishables. I have to start thinking about more than just a battery, I need a generator, I'll have to get serious about it and stop procrastinating, these outages are not going to stop like I thought they would. I'll also do my sums for solar installation + battery.

In two freezers. But I read 4hrs is the limit for perishable foods.
