Replace liberal with Realist.

You're the guy who was happy to vote for a party that sent refugees to an offshore camp because 'my kids education was more important' right?

Wink

are you going to pretend you care about 'human garbage' now? Grin

Are you?
Or is your son's education more important?

Difference is I don't pretend different....

So why are you pretending now? Grin

You know full well that parties run on many policies and people vote for the best of the available options.

That doesn't mean they necessarily agree with every single policy the party has.

this ones was written for you (queen)

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

We live in an age where we have to wear tin foil hats Lord Herbert. If you relax online and let all your details hang out - then occasionally some sicko who's taken a dislike to you will exploit that information.

I'll allow your child-like insult to go through to the 'keeper, Muso, and simply ask whether it is of any concern to you that the Forum is so regularly unstable?

since when is it unstable???....seems pretty good to me....the other morning everything went black.. here we had a power out no warning.. it was a bit windy?? but we are never told the reason...3 burbs involved...

we just have to put up with it...no good running around trying to pin the blame on someone..

I always thought it was an Elvis Presley song, but when I tried to find it it gave me queen. ... I must have been wrong even though I could have sworn Elvis had sung it too.

Thank you for the tip-off, Lady Mantra.

I would never let my details hang out. I wouldn't want to frighten the horses.

I've rushed to the kitchen to get a roll of Multix Alfoil ~ 'Stronger than Ordinary Foil' ~ and have wrapped several feet of it around my computer.

I now feel protected against hackers and sickos, especially those who want to see my details hang out.
