This rubbish only serves to divide.
Personally I get sick of hearing from people who live in NSW saying how great they are and the rest of the country is nothing

I'm not interested in gaining your respect chameleon.
Closed minded conservatives are not welcome in my sphere

chameleon has just articulated what many of us are thinking.

It speaks volumes to me that there are few replies to your many threads....most of us are not interested in rants against the world in general.

I know I would rather discuss subjects in an adult manner.

Same could be said for you

I usually skim past your Labor bashing and "how good am I" posts these days   ..... I find I have more enough fiction books to read lol

[marwi_3023]

Oh no, people on the internet don't like me

No one forces you to read them, so why not just move on or start your own "intelligent conversation" thread

They dont like me either   ..... my care factor isnt all that high lol

[marwi_3023]

But but one of them is honoured.
It must mean something.
I will have to re evaluate my whole life.
My nothingness needs to be changed so that I too can reach the honoured status

I remember David coping a hammering about posting links from ABC online and him having to have a break from the clique here.
Then there was an out pouring of support.
The clique is never happy.
Whinging about how better it was in the old days when there were plenty of people posting but I see a lot of new posters being harangued and subjected to background checks and paying the price if the clique deems them to be thus deserving.
Just no pleasing some people and who cares anyway.
If it wasn't for ecar and David and the other non judgemental posters this joint would be awful

 I find David genuinely thinks things through and usually presents his views in a well considered way. He doesnt just blindly follow what is fashionable or politically correct. He usually takes the time to properly consider things and how they relate to his own personal experience. While I dont always agree with him, I respect his posts and he has even swayed my opinion on a few things.

Likewise I suspect he may have moderated his views at times on some issues. Constructive, genuine discussion can achieve co-operation and understanding. Unfortunately those who blindly follow one doctrin or another without any real understanding of what they espouse miss out on this sharing of ideas and understanding.
