One can only rejoice that it is not called 'rabbit" day

Are insults your usual way of replying ?

I am really pleased that your remarks about 2 really great Australians, Gina & Rupert were not insulting Gerry.  I obviously missread.  Sorry.

Ken

I was tempted to write a list of why Gina is not great in any sense of the word but thought it better to ask why you would consider her to be a great Australian. I am not sure if the comment was tongue in cheek or a bait to Gerry.

Rupe has achieved a lot for himself and family but great Australian ?

Are you one of the "greedy rich" Innes. Business must be good??????

How can someone equate good with everyone is greedy ? Just as easy to say greed is bad  and when you get right down to it everyone is greedy. Greed is greed and is one of the seven deadly sins.

7 Deadly Sins??? What are you talking about? 

Greed is Good - Gordon Gekko.

It makes the world go round. 

Ra Ra Rasputin, Foo ManChu, Popeye.
How many more nicks do you have ?

Only Drew, Kate, Mr.Bean and Lushie can answer that question 

Greed is good????Look what it's done to you popeye/pete

Do I know you?

Another "new" troll on this site. Which hole did you crawl out of?

Ha ha ha !

Geoff, in 1976 Daniel wrote a book that over 20 years sold well under 1 million copies to the academic world & you are quoting him as the writer of the new cultural Bible.  Fifty Shades of Grey sold well over 100 million copies in less than 1/10th the time & not to academics.  Does that prove that women like to be whipped?    WELL!!!!!!...... MAYBE!!!!!!!

Ken

Brooks the author of the article does not endorse Bell and I am not either. Never heard of him before reading the article. The article is about greed , China and having some basic human qualities to guide lives. Brooks says Bell got it wrong or part of it wrong.

RE:

Does that prove that women like to be whipped?   

WELL!!!!!!...... MAYBE!!!!!!!

DEFINITELY NOT !!!!

Tickled with a feather ... MAYBE!!!!!!!

Capitalism is well and truly alive and thriving.

Only proven system that creates sustainable prosperity and improves quality of life.

Isn't it a real pity that they got rid of Communism in Russia.  If it had been kept, there is a really good chance that the Russian people would have had 2 shoes by now.

BTW Abby, it is a well known fact that over 80 million of the Shades of Grey books were bought by women.  According to Geoff's logic, that just might prove something.  I have never had a woman give me a feather & tell me that I was to use it!!!!

I wasn,t aware I had espoused any logic notions or ideas Ken. I put up an article that explores greed and human satisfaction , lack of. It IMO contributed to the thread.

Ken

One of the disadvantages of being commited -don't get to go out with too many chicks 

OK Geoff.  But let me remind you that in the Communist days of Russia, The people either were in the forces, or they were friends of the Union thugs, who were very greedy & did not believe in Communism or Socialism.

I am curious Abby.  Just what do you do with a feather???  I just love kinky women !!!!

Ken

I used to chat with a bloke who sold a red rag in the pub. I could never convince him that human nature means the communism ideal can never function in practice. The same malaise happens in capitalism or dictatorships, giving a nephew an undeserved job, syphoning off illicit moneys. Thats why some red tape is needed to help capitalism work better and no amount of red tape helps communism work better because the heads only apply it to the underlings.

Have a glass of Wild Turkey and think about it ...

I am sure you will find a solution

I am just on half way through the bottle of Turkey Abby, & come up with some really interesting possibities.  Do nice, well brought up girls REALLY do THAT?  WOW!!!

They said the same thing about Soloman, and it's not true, pop...

Innes:

If you had mentioned Lee Kuan Yew in the first instance, I would have agreed with you. You have to admit however that he is probably the first and the last dictator that you could call "benevolent"  Singapore just doesn’t fit the world’s categories of dictators. It’s a "dictatorship" with free speech, no fear, and no corruption. It’s an economy that uses capitalist means to attain socialist ends. Great!

Lee Kuan Yew was able to do this because he modelled the new Singapore on his ideals of Switzerland. There is no other dictator to my knowledge who can fall into this category, perhaps you can tell me if there is.

Singapore

Free speech- WRONG

No Fear - WRONG

No Corruption - WRONG!!!

3 strikes, you're out!!!

Popeye

You wait till Fleur comes and finds you picking onto Micha, then you will be in trouble

All the spinach is addling your brain mate. Suggestion: Tourniquet arms so that brain has chance to go to head.

Is mommy coming to tuck little Micha under her nightie.

Popeye,

You are absolutely correct about Singapore.

The Press is also government controled, tightly so.  

There is no age limit to be called up in times of conflict.  If a man has an Singapore ID, he is required to serve if necessary, even with one foot in the grave.                                                 

Are you for real man?  Quote: economy works much better under a dictator.

Put away the wild turkey you're going bonkers mate, bonkers I tell you.

Geoff, your mind would have to be as open as the seven seas to even contemplate what he has said.

Innes stick to reading Fifty Shades of Grey. Might be more to your very basic understanding, mate.

You would know Micha.  The most financially successful Country in modern history was run by a dictator by the name of Lee Kuan Yew.    BTW Can you ever express an opinion or are you only capable of telling every body else that they are wrong?

Appears we have a new troll in our midst.

Another sad little fella who takes delight in belittling others.

Sure sign of inferiority complex

Welcome back Soloman. Does Mussi know you've touched down mate??

No truth is your summation at all Micha

Solomon is with me on Central Coast looking after my chickens if you must know - never went to Malacca at all :)

I think Solly has popped back as Popeye.

GD is that true? I know you only tell the truth unless it's a lie, tell me it is not so,

Calm down Seth "Solomon" for Abby is probably another rooster like her beautiful rooster Aqua named after a Forum member, now he was a real beauty fantastic feather colouring. 

I'm thinking. I'm thinking. That you're right Robi!

$eth

You know we are the only honest two members on the Forum who always tell the truth unless we tell a lie.

Of course all the other people postings are mistruths
