Something I have noticed about political posts/threads

[donnashuggy]

and I could be wrong and guilty of the same

trying not to be biased here but 🙂

left leaning tend to decipher information in the news and give personal thoughts along with links

right leaning tend not to decipher but copy and paste endless articles without much personal input views

not trying to start an argument here but has anyone else noticed this?

 You are.... And you are 

trying not to be biased here but 🙂

glad you put the but in as this is a very biased post and its designed to be and to get the usual biased answers from the usual posters and they havent disapointed 

left leaning tend to decipher information in the news and give personal thoughts along with links

*cough* you do jest

right leaning tend not to decipher but copy and paste endless articles without much personal input views

yes this post is designed to be a one sided bash the right and the usuals have all chimed in to assist you

not trying to start an argument here but has anyone else noticed this?

Yes you are trying to start and argument and it is working but then thats what you wanted

Moderators I am so suprised that you have allowed this post to continue as its simply a post dedigned to cause division and be personal and disruptive and cause trouble and it goes totally against Cs values

It's nevyn. And that's just another belittling tactic.

I try to listen to all sides it is just that there is not a great deal of discussion like there used to be, I want to be able to discuss asylum seekers without being asked how many I take into my home, I want to be able to discuss climate change rationally, education and the rest of it.

It does make it difficult when our politicians aren't that great. If the boats really have been stopped then kudo's to abbott as he has lived up to his promises, I remain skeptical though.

There's the rub. Politicians on either side aren't that great. The follow party lines, And party lines are how to get/stay in power these days, not how to do the right thing by the majority. 

I do think the Lib's boat policy is right. we don't want people smugglers making money off people thinking they can get here and end up drowning. And it does seem to be working. I don't know about you, but I don't want to hear about anyone else drowning trying to get here via people smuggling.I know it means a hard line, but sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. You may not like your life, but your alive. 

Climate change. Well, I don't think taxing the average joe is going to change anything. By all means, tax the companies that have abused it for years.

I would like to dicuss these things as adults do too. But it's the internet, it is what it is.

---

That is the thing, are they doing it to save lives or to stop people coming here? There tactics come across as a bit racist. I don't like people drowning either but with all this secrecy we don't actually know.

The carbon tax was doing what it was meant to, Labor was hopeless at selling the policy.

I am off for the night, 🙂

I agree with you....

You know what? The why doesn't really matter, as long as no one else dies trying to be free. It's the people smugglers who are the parasites on the world. I don't get the racist angle. The people to attempt to come here illegal are illegal, where's the racist angle?

Oh, carbon tax does nothing but boost the coffers. I would like to know how it helped decrease emissions? 

Good night. And thank you.:)

To a degree you're right but in the previous government we had a few independents who were attacked ferociously for "selling out" by siding with Gillard instead of Abbott.  They gave considerable thought before making their decisions and expressed their reasons for doing so but that didn't stop the vicious attacks on their character.  They did what they thought was best for the country and their electorate.  It's a shame there are not more like them. 

Is the climate change comment about the carbon price/tax?  the tax was on the companies that have abused it for years, they just passed it and more on to the consumers.

There you go again... Lets play the victim and oh poor me...... I have noticed something about your post unless the other posters are socialists or very left leaning and agree with you you are very rude qnd tend to be very belittling to them. And you also gang up with others to attack posters you dont agree with
