When I’m at someone’s throat you’ll know it. This ain’t it. Besides, where I’m from, the exchange of opposing ideas is neither sad nor degenerate. It’s healthy debate. Only if when ad hominem or straw man attacks occur do I consider the thread debased. Thus far we haven’t seen much of that...

Man, you Aussies sure are clever. Such biting comebacks! Are all “prawns on the barbie” types also so devastatingly quick witted and hilariously snarky? Eh? I tell you what…..

Sure. Even as thousands and thousands of non US folk choose to face terrible dangers and obstacles just to, somehow, get to the US border - so they can sneak inside and live here, illegally. That is some funny 💩. Funny as in weird, I mean. Hmmmm. Look dude, I wish I had the global following so...

Are you daft? I left out the possessive apostrophe but otherwise spelled Australia just as you did. In fact when I try to misspell it, ie, Australiei, the system won’t even let me. Oh brother.

Ok, guy that’s never set foot in the US. Please do educate me about what it’s like to live in the US. I’ve only lived here 60 plus years - in 5 different states/major cities, and visited over half of the states. But I actually have no clue what it’s REALLY like to live here because ya know my...

😂😂😂😂😂😂

You’re putting words in my mouth. I never said it was the center of the universe. I said without it the world is, net net, a 💩 place. How many modern inventions, including this forum, do you think have come from the US? Do you think the toy soldier industry, and its multitude of providers, could...

Another Aussie with his panties in a wad. Must be a dang epidemic. At this rate there’ll be a shortage of lace undies in no time.

Living in the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world, all my life, has definitely been a sad downer, no doubt. 🤪😂🤪😂🤓🤪 It’s terrible being inundated with abundance everywhere you go. I mean I can’t go the grocery store without having to research which of 53 different mustards I prefer...

Oh look, your panties are all in a wad. Does it hurt? 🤣🤣🤣 I could care less about Australias “vaunted” military history. Not a whit. But do go on. 🥱🥱😁 Glad to know y’all don’t need our help with China. As I said good luck with that. Look I mean I do recognize, being founded as a penal colony...

How ironic. You’re so fanatical about your beloved atheism you’ve come to label billions of religions people as some sort of plague. Is it over religion that China is now bullying your little island and the rest of the region? No. Perhaps the US, and all its crackpot god believers, is a less...

You’re way off base here, hoss. (First thing, do not ever again say I’m similar to a Muslim. Ever. Things will get very ugly, very fast if you do, even “in jest”.) Until about 10 years ago I was very non-religious, agnostic, mostly, not quite atheist, but nearly. At one point I even attended a...

Dude, I’ve watched and read innumerable books and videos on the origin of the universe. I’ve gone deeply into “the science”. You haven’t evolved, you’ve devolved into wild speculation about multiverses. To wit: The science does not and cannot explain the causal origin of the Big Bang. Science...

Like I said in my “long winded answer” of a couple hundred words (I’m guessing you don’t read too many books), you’re free to have your faith (in no god) as I am to have my faith (in a god). Neither of us can prove their faith with absolute certainty. That’s why it’s called faith. Duh. The...
