As an aside -- why are mainstays Sneakypete and TooConservative gone? If they disapprove of Trump, then so what. Let everyone debate the way the forum has always been played. We disapproved when JR censored. Of course the usual idiots should be jettisoned.

Good to hear from you. I hope you have been well?

I'm not aware that either Sneakypete or TooConservativewere were banned, but I am very busy so I may have missed something. Sneakypete was pretty straight about where he stood on things, but TooConservative was a guy who never showed his cards, he just seemed to posture on issues but when you stripped away the layers he was very mush in the GOPe camp. He should have just made his case for why he thought they were doing such a great job.

think the nail in the coffin was when the EU countries were ordered to take refugees, when it was Germany's problem.

it was a nail in the coffin when they tried to create an undemocratic 'nation' on a common currency ,and some common defense. They left out some key ingredients like common language and customs. The EU was always a false entity . Most of the Brit laws in recent years have come out of the unelected hall of Brussels. If I were a Brit I would've voted to exit just on that issue alone.

Are you a Marxist believing in class warfare between the proletariat and bourgeoisie?

No, scumbag. I'm a conservative thinking capitalist that knows that when you feed the animals, they become dependent. Just like when they knowingly, willingly and INTENTIONALLY become a drug ADDICT.

If you don't want to live under the socialist umbrella of income redistribution, you best start liking the idea that we as a FREE nation need working poor to pump out septic tanks, middle class to manufacture the toilet that fills those septic tanks and the wealthy that shit in those toilets and septic tanks while they employ the thousands in their complies.

I deserve my FREEDOM to become as rich as I'm willing to work for.

We ain't all equal... we never were.

Whites and blacks do want them. Just not for $6 an hour and no benefits.

If their only choice was to work those jobs at 8.00 an hour or STARVE... guess what happens.

Just to be clear about my point.

These jobs are essentially CLOSED to non-Hispanic workers. They are not advertised, the only way you get them is by word of mouth. The people who hire for these jobs and even the people who work them are highly suspicious of outsiders. If I were to go there ( assuming I wanted to work in the hot sun all day for $6 an hour), they would say sorry, no openings. Even unknown Hispanics are not trusted.

There are large American farmers and builders who control this. They stay far in the background. They hire legal Hispanics as subcontractors. They hire mostly illegals who are glad to have this work because they have guaranteed money on a regular basis. They wouldn't be able to get any job that required a SSN. Most any white or black legal could fairly easily get a better job than this for more money. If these field jobs paid $15 an hour ( as they probably should in a free market that consisted solely of legal citizens) many Americans would be lining up to do the work.

These illegals also know how to game the system. It is very hard to get SNAP, but they can get medicaid pretty easily. They don't feel guilty at all about what they are doing, and just feel they are doing what they need to do to make good lives.

This is not a conspiracy theory. It's the way this works. Anybody who has been around it knows it.

Good to see the UK get out of the EU criminal enterprise.

Watch the exodus of muslim freeloaders. now Brit Vets can start fighting back.

and to add to that the price of oil is coming down.

Think what a Trump victory will mean to gold, silver and real estate.

Now start jumping up and down while wailing at the top of your voice ... throw a real hissy fit.

ROTFL ...

ROTFL ...

Think what a Trump victory will mean to gold, silver and real estate.

What would it mean?

it was a nail in the coffin when they tried to create an undemocratic 'nation' on a common currency ,and some common defense. They left out some key ingredients like common language and customs. The EU was always a false entity . Most of the Brit laws in recent years have come out of the unelected hall of Brussels. If I were a Brit I would've voted to exit just on that issue alone.

Tom this isn't done in isolation we will all feel the impact, this is the GFC all over again, particularly in Britain. There is a selfish part of me that says this is good for my nation, we will regain lost markets, and there is a part of me that says I don't need another hit to the bottom line and our stocks and currency have taken a big hit. The EU has trodden all over democratic process and has recieved a smack in the face for allowing it. We have all forgotten that they will not emerge from this unscaved, they are no longer the largest economy in the World with the prospect of others leaving, we may even observe the break up of the UK after 300 years, a lesson to all federations, I hear Texas wants out

I hear Texas wants out

Bravado talk. Im not opposed to it but the problem is progressives in charge of the US govenrment are ruining the lives of the average person for their own personal desires. In time the corrupt group would find its way into Texas government. It always starts with "its to help the poor disadvantage peoples"!

It would be nice to see a bunch of demoncrats squeal and hopefully run across the border so they can get US government tit back.

How long ago was that?

Probably around the time that the name was changed from "TooConservative" to "tooconservative". TC lost the capital letters when he was reinstated. A search shows no record of the name with caps. "Revisionist history", at it's finest.

"We've always been at war with Eastasia" ~George Orwell, 1984

Trump has always been a conservative. /s

It was always lower case dumb ass fag johnson groupie.

You are mistaken dumb ass transgender Trump groupie. Here's a LF page from The Wayback Machine... Note the capitals letters in TooConservative.

Those were happier times, when we could discuss things in an adult manner. Then Trump came along, and temper tantrums....

How do you know TC Isn't ConservingFreedom?

I'm not an authoritarian progressive Jack Booted Thug control freak like you are, so I don't care.

CT freak!

His last post was april 13 so that is when.

Ah well, that happens.

I've had a few temper tantrums myself, and gone away. I get bored and come back.

He apparently has other things to do with his time, so he has stayed away.

In the end it doesn't really make a difference either way.

Brexiit was fun, Now if we can get Trump and a Frexit out of it, that'd be even better.

How do you know TC Isn't ConservingFreedom?

As I pointed out to Gatlin via LFmail:

TC was posting until April 13:

libertysflame.com/cgi-bin...? ArtNum=45720&Disp=34#C34

while my first post was on March 26:

libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=45337

Texas and the territory brought into the Union in consequence of annexation, were purchased with both blood and treasure; and Texas, with a domain greater than that of any European state except Russia, was permitted to retain as state property all the public lands within its borders.

It would have been ingratitude and injustice of the most flagrant sort for this State to withdraw from the Union after all that had been spent and done to introduce her

we may even observe the break up of the UK after 300 years

The Scotts may break so they can stay in the EU . Hoping the Brits go further and reform their own socialist dystopia,

More of Trump parading around his golf courses mouthing off More of Trump parading around his golf courses mouthing off

At least that and more. I don't like Trump but I can't stand Hillary or anything DRat. If I could I would piss on all of the Millennials. Unfortunately it seems that both Hillary and the Millennials will win and they will piss on me. OZ isn't immune to this. If your society hasn't yet started to change it will - kind of as in On The Beach, it's inevitable.

Think what a Trump victory will mean to gold, silver and real estate.

What would it mean?

I would think that real things, like God, silver, Real Estate and a few others will go thru the roof, but paper will tank till it reaches a level where it actually reflects the value of the company and it's leadership.

Just my guess.

I would think that real things, like God, silver, Real Estate and a few others will go thru the roof, but

Trump has shown little use for God in his either of his private and public life (other than when he is trying to con Evangelicals that is).

What broke the linebreaking in this thread?

Sorry, I did it in #92 above. Didn't clean up the html code enough... ping lists line.

Thanks for finding that. I knew that it was discussed but couldn't find it.

OZ isn't immune to this. If your society hasn't yet started to change it will - kind of as in On The Beach, it's inevitable.

I think we are beyond On the Beach. That movie created a wrong idea of our society and has no relevance today. We find the millenials here a shiftless lot, probably due to lack of opportunity, if you don't have skills in this society, you don't go far. They cannot be expected to exhibit any political view unless rabble roused on Facebook or Twitter. Anyway we will euthanase ourselves because some twit in the UK or US made a mess

We find the millenials here a shiftless lot,

As those of us that are not millennials or are not trying to sell then something do. You kid yourself if you think the millennial mindset is not impacting your society. The following is some light reading selected to expand you understanding of your ouwn society:

Millennial Survey 2016

How to connect with the Millennial Generation

And this one is especially for you.

Show me a baby boomer who thinks Australian millennials are a bunch of self-interested slackers and I’ll show you Jennifer Rayner’s Generation Less. Gina Rushton is a millennial, and a journalist on The Australian. Generation Less: How Australia is Cheating the Young, By Jennifer Rayner. She clearly sees things quite differently as you - in fact she claims that you are dead wrong in your characterization of OZ's Millenial generation and in fact blames you for their sense of hopelessly.

"Older Australians frequently haul out this tired trope of the millennial as a self-indulgent product of the proliferation of identity politics: a crude device-dependent caricature believing he or she is a special snowflake who deserves to float through the workforce and property market without sacrifice, patience and the expenditure of elbow grease. But Rayner’s palpable frustration is fuelled by the understanding that her cohort is precisely the same as its forebears: “There’s nothing exceptional about today’s younger workers”; they are not “looking for a special leg-up”, just a raft of policies to better target the new barriers they face.

Home ownership — a dream I gave up as soon as I entered the rental market — obviously takes up a large chunk of the essay. Rayner doesn’t begrudge homeowners and insists they haven’t intentionally shut the door to the property market behind them. But she understands why her peers have given up on the Australian dream. Sacrifice doesn’t get you as much as it used to: “Years of scrimping to buy a draughty weatherboard or a house-and-land package an hour from the city just isn’t worth it.

One aspect that filled me with a peculiar smugness was the acknowledgment that our parents are beneficiaries of some of the things they like to tell you they “didn’t have in their day”, when in fact they directly benefit from globalisation and the rise of technology right here and right now. It is still their day."

One last piece of info for you. Globally by 2020, Millennials Will Comprise Half the Global Workforce. Does OZ have a social security system?

All of the replies from others to TC are addressed as being to "TooConservative". All of TC's comments have been changed to being from, lowercase "tooconservative".

To understand things properly, one must know that in the software, there is a table of all screen names, and each screen name is assigned a unique index number.

The administrator can change a screen name, but the index number associated with it does not change. This index number is what is used in the software to ID the person making each comment. So if the administrator changes a screen name, then the displayed name shown as the *author* of all comments made by that person will be retroactively changed.

However....

There are 2 separate mechanisms involved with tracking who is pinged to comments.

The first mechanism is simply the "To" line. It is recorded as text exactly as the commenting author specifies, complete with misspellings or upper/lower case mistakes. This is the "To" line that is displayed when reading a thread.

The second mechanism is involves the addition of entries in the DB that find the index number of all screen names appearing on the "To" line. The software does a case insensitive match, or tries to, of all names in the To line to an existing screen names. Those that are found have the associated index numbers added to a table for that particular comment.

Even so, any comments displayed have the original "To" line shown, appearing exactly as the author specified.

The end result is that if a screen name is altered by an administrator, even if it's just some letters from upper to lower case, all comments authored by that person are retroactively changed to show the new name. But the screen names shown on the "To" line are not altered, so the original screen name will still appear.

Modifying all "To" lines to reflect these changes is a much bigger task and potentially problematic, as people sometimes misspell screen names or address people in unusual ways.

If TooConservative's screen name was errantly changed to "tooconservative" the easy fix is to just rename it with the proper case.

We can thank globalisation and the free trade agenda of the US for any hopelessness.

Yeah, I know., the U.S. is responsible for everything wrong in the world.

pretty much. G.H.W. Bush wanted the NWO and to make the US the policeman of the world and the outworking of that has been wars and problems and the US is still trying to live up to it
