Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

NP,
I can tolerate your political rants, but I find your denigration of Christians (with a capital — it’s a name) offensive.
Also the lumping of all white settlers as Christian.
Regards & God bless,
Ray

Guys, please remember that this is trivia. As in trivial. Please don't politicise it. And please remember that everyone is allowed to have an opinion.

So who's turn is it next?
Cheers

I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

I find the belief in a mythical god of war offensive to the intelligence of rational humans, backed by the cults entire recorded violent, warmongering history and blatantly obvious in this day. What you call political rants, are the viewable and verifiable facts, not fantasy land and I make a real effort to do what I can to mitigate my footprint on the planet. I believe our kids and grandkids have a right to a decent viable future and not the one our generations have created by greed and self centered ignorance.

This thread may be trivia, but the reality is the opposite and trying to change history to suit ideological agendas and claiming Aus indigenous had nothing of worth or established communities is offensive, when the established facts are for all to see if they can get their heads out of denial of reality. If it wasn't so tragic it would be a good laugh, especially when claiming the longest established continuous culture on the planet was just a disorganised bunch of rabble, when the real facts are the opposite and they didn't destroy the environment, they did the opposite.

You don't survive as a society that long by being disorganised, the complete opposite of our supposed superior society, which is collapsing rapidly before our eyes after such a very short time

Very few things piss me off, but ideological elitism most certainly does. This discussion if over for me, have better things to do with my life and this is trivia thread.
