  1.  

    more total bs in delet's post, but can't be arsed to respond to any of it

    The idea of a Trump supporter that isn't even from the US is just too retarded to even try to tackle. Not to mention, I'm from Massachusetts, so my taxes help pay for subsidies for the idiots in red states that voted themselves into the exact pickle that inspired them to vote for Trump and fuck themselves even more. And we get nothing in return except for more stupidity. We have enough of that shit in the US. Like I need some clueless dweeb on another continent telling me what my situation is.

     

     

     Can we please stop being a punk because my politics are different to yours. You weren't able to rebut my points, you just rely on invective rhetoric, don't ave any valid points of your own, it's quite tiring and is illustrative as to why so many working people ditched the dems and voted trump, they were sick of being shouted down for no reason by excitable children with no real clue about the world. It's why i haven't bothered with politics on watmm for years, you're all politically, with few exceptions, regressive lefti social justiice warriors. Everything is so politically correct and you lot are so angry when people trigger the safe space. Simma down boi. heh. Lets just get along.

     one of my very closest friends 

     

     

     

    lol

    does this phrase come across differently in oz or something?

     

     

     I don't know what you're reading it as but i'm glad that someone probably found something negative to say about one of my posts, again, super, just can't win.

     

     

     

    In the US "some of my best friends" are [insert minority] is, like, the go-to plea of innocence for racists and xenophobes. 

     

    I was being facetious though, on account of my not actually knowing you. 

     

     

     yeah, i've heard that 'some of my best friends thing' used in the racial context and knew that if i used the phrasing 'one of my best friends' that it would be misinterpreted by people that want to not like me, so i used 'one of my closest friends' instead, heh, but ho hum, people see what they want to see. Anyway, i'm glad you're being facetious and not malicious doublename, there's too much pointless hate in the world already.

  3. let's see, here:

     

    - talks nonstop bullshit about migrants but says he doesn't have a problem with this specific migrant (cos he just happens to be talking to him directly)

    - hides behind "this is a marketplace of ideas", a fairly liberal notion for someone who is vocally against economic and social liberalism

    - isn't exactly the architect of Australian Federation and certainly doesn't come from our hardest-working state considering its economic output/development

     

    I'll buy that for a dollar :cisfor:

     

     - Out of hundreds of posts i have mentioned immigration perhaps once or twice in the last two to three years. The moment i did you went from having no opinion of me to being incredibly irritated about everything that i said. So that "nonstop bullshit about migrants" thing is ALL in your head usagi. Plus really mate, what has not wanting never ending mass immigration into your nation, especially from low IQ or culturally dissimilar nations that will not integrate and never have, got to do with liking or not liking individual immigrants, one of my very closest friends that i have known for more than twenty years is chinese from indonesia. Again you have an inability to separate in your mind the emotional consideration of a topic from the rational, it really does make me fear for your intellect, and does go a long way to explain your behaviour towards me on this board and in general from when you talk about your interaction with the world.

     - non point with no connection to what i said.

     - NSW was ranked 'best performing economy', i looked up why and it seems that they are 'performing' because things like accruing housing finance debt, building new dwellings for immigrants and the population growth from immigration itself, all contribute to what is defined as economic growth. What they see as a positive side of the ledger i see however as an unsustainable ponzi scheme. Satiyajit Das and economist Steve Keen, both Sydneysiders, have interesting things to say about Sydney's 'economic growth'.

     

     Anyway, all the best. i've shown you enough olive branches over the years, all of which you've wacked away, so i can't say that that your posting interests me any longer, but that said, I don't have to like you or not like you. And maybe if you actually accept some sort of reset in your thinking perhaps i can even raise you back into the positive ledger, which i put all watmmrs in, cause well they're here so they must be alright  [-;

  4. QLD will be Australia's perpetual embarrassment. some of our most vocal/useless idiots hail from this wonderful state: our fine Immigration Minister, Pauline Hanson, and also this guy.

     

     Yes thats right, have a go at the people that built this lovely first world country for you to 'perpetually' moan about in. In the west, it's been a thing, to express a multiplicity of opinions and to not take any of them personally. From this marketplace of ideas, the best stand on merit and we move on from there. It doesn't always work, and it has paused now and then, but by and large when it is running this state of mind propelled our people to create the modern world, so quit it usagi. I don't have a problem with you, but you permanently have one with me and it's rather tedious.

     

     As for obamacare, i wasn't defending trump's plan that was not the purpose of my post so great come back there people. "yes but trump's is worse". I said i was further to the left of most of you people, so that would mean i favour single payer. Which would be infinitely better than the current rip off at every level system that currently passes for 'healthcare' in the US, a system that only the very poor and the very rich can make best use of, a system that is said to be the most expensive in the world.

  5.  lol. is that all you've got. Everyone knows that the US healthcare system was a disaster. Obamacare did not improve it one iota. It was written by the health insurance companies !! It wasn't some panacea meant to save the the people. It was a bid to lock the people in to policies that the government mandated that they have to buy from the corporations that wrote the legislation, that's fascism. Here are some issues with obamacare for you to look up.

     

    - obamacare providers are dropping out of selling the policies because it's not a sustainable business model for them

    - Many poeple have decided to pay the penalty for not taking obamacare because it's cheaper than having to pay for it

    - the deductibles are so high that most people don't use their obamacare

    - The premium increases on obamacare over the period since it's introduction have been skyrocketing.

    - you couldn't keep your doctor (heh)

    - and so much obama greatness more

     

     Come on now mate, search for a better one than obamacare to be smug about. i'm far more left wing than many on here, but i preferred trump, that should say something. The election was really globalism versus nationalism. Globalism has sought to deindustrialise the west, open it's borders, tear the working people of the west down to third world levels. Nationalism seeks to protect the citizen from the elite multinational banking cartel. Whether or not that actually works out, whether or not trump lets the people down, at least they're more awake to the difference now.

  6. Has anyone else encountered Trump supporters yelling "your side lost!", like it's a fucking football game?

     

    So if they don't like political correctness and want someone to tell it like it is, can we just give them nothing but retard shame for the next 4 years? They can dish it out, let's see if they can take it.

     

     Yes, the retard shame of not voting for hillary clinton, makes one such a retard doesn't it candiru. When the media, every one of your friends, both sides of politics, business people, academics, the whole of the establishment was against the populist candidate and you still won. Such retard, such shame. heh. MAGA !!

  7.  yo .. It would be really cool to have one of those PSA tees so I sent an email regarding the t-shirt purchasing thing.  I know it's the weekend so i don't expect a reply straight away. Anyway, just thought that i'd give an heads up in the thread lest me email fly under the radar. thanks. [-;

    Hard to imagine what Cuba would be like without Castro. 

     

    A much nicer place to live one would have thought.

     

     

    Looking at the neighboring countries like Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic I wouldn't be so sure about that. Cuba still has universal health care and education. It's a very safe place compared to the region. But yes, human rights violations, poverty and so on also.

     

     

     You missed a neighbouring country called the USA. The economic development differences are down to the mix of ideologies and the mean IQ for each population. And certainly Cuba has long been suspected of lying about it's health care outcomes which is pretty typical, if a program doesn't work, just double down and fake the figures until the magical thinking can make them. Certainly it's human rights abuses are unassailable facts. Of course you could rebut that and say, well the ongoing american attempts to undermine the country's will to remain communist justified the extra judicial killings and the imprisonment without trial. heh. I wonder how many would see that the US was trying to mess with Cuba, but steadfastly refused to think that obama had been similarly meddling in the Ukraine or Syria. nwae, /politics off, no point doing this in a dead zone.

  9.  I mostly watch political youtube accounts and anime so i'm all good. heh. But yes, the cable tv production values on select shows has vastly improved what was passing for TV on the free to air networks. I must say though that a long time back, there were decently scripted and acted shows on free to air. They'd do lots of location shoots, didn't do too many close ups to hide the lack of properly dressed sets, they'd professionally edit them. It was great. But that all seemed to collapse down into a mish mash of sitcoms and the NCIS type cheap cut out formula.

  10.  where's the muthafucking plus one damnit. i don't want to have to pick the keyboard up to post a written reply and i don't want to use a smilie either, this is plus one territory.


     damnit i'll have to do it myself.

     

    I was making great time from Sioux Falls to Kalamazoo, (shaved an hour and a half off google's estimate) and then BAM, rush hour chicago tuned the I-94 into a parking lot. Motherfucker.

     

     +1

  11.  They've forgotten that you can do both. Well plus the fact that accountants and business graduates cannot make quality judgments about art, and these projects tend to be committee driven which waters down good ideas and allows bad ones to fester on. And then there's the elephant in the room, the incestuous and nepotistic nature of hollywood which shuts out any sort of merit driven hiring practices and forces the remaining creatives to have their work spanked around by cousin this or uncle that.
