Don't blame me!
I didn't vote for 'em.
Let's wait and see what the figures for unemployment, inflation and interest rates are this time next year. I really do fear for the poor younger people trying to pay for a home.
There were so many lies and half truths in labor advertising during the election I demanded to have the remote (poor Dave) so I could skip away from the bullshit, though often enough the same crap was on 2 or 3 channels at the same time.
I'll be interested to see how many more nurses will flood back into the NSW hospital system... LMAO!

Couldn't have been a meteor, surely?
Let's be reasonable here - isn't Al Gore(y) and his cohort telling us the only way the earth's temperature can rise is because of cars, power stations and cows farting?
Couldn't possibly be because of a natural cycle or a natural event.
The ice age obviously ended because of all the fridges and air conditioners around at the time causing global warming.
I often wonder at the collective intelligence of the human race.
We have a group of scientists expounding THEORIES, not facts. And far too many are prepared to hop on the wagon with the latest fad.
Sort of reminds of the doomsday predictions about the Y2K bug. (falls off chair laughing)
The same scientists who cannot tell us with any reasonable degree of accuracy, what the weather will be tomorrow, let alone next week, are telling us they KNOW what the temperature will be in 10, 15 or 20 years time.
Pardon me if I have to scoff here for a short while...

I sure hope I got that feeling across!
Yes dear, it came across - but what's an old reprobate like you doing in a nice place like this ????? Do we have C2C to blame?
Yep - you might as well blame him - it really was his fault!
You very likely read a similar rant at other places, LOL.
Did I read somewhere in your bio here or in an interview, about what a demure lady you are in real life??? I hope you had your fingers crossed when you wrote that!
Be nice to me or I might start telling secrets....
Well, not really huh? Might incriminate me too.

Way back on September 26 roccotool wrote in this thread:
"A lot of My stories were on a site where there were some really vicious comments left. Most of the time, they were left by people who didn't even write. They also abused the polling, too."
While I can agree with his dislike of vicious comments and polling abuse, it ALWAYS gets me going when some author whinges about people making comments if the commenter is not a writer.
That sort of idea is, in my opinion, a crock of crap.
I can’t play a musical instrument, can’t write music, and can’t hold a tune (except after a few glasses of good red!). But I sure as hell reserve the right to have an opinion about the sorts of music I like, and to make those opinions known should I so desire.
I can’t act in a film, can’t direct, produce or edit a film. But I sure as hell reserve the right to have an opinion an any film I see, and to make that opinion known should I so desire.
I can’t play basketball at a competitive level, I can’t coach basketball, but I like to watch the game. Sometimes the game is a good one, sometimes not. Sometimes a particular player plays well, sometimes not – or a team plays well, sometimes not.
Now, are you really telling me I have no right to comment on how I see these things about basketball because I am not a basketball player??
If you say yes – you must be bloody well joking. You gonna stop 80 million people in your own country doing the same thing? Really?
Do you never complain about any level of your government? Well, by your theory, expressed above, no one may complain about any administration unless they are themselves involved in that administration. Sounds stupid to me, but that’s what you said.
If it holds true for writers, why not for all these thing I mentioned, and countless others?
Well, most of us know the answer- it is an irrational argument you started with – it does NOT apply – ever.
Just because I am not an author on this site I should be banned from commenting on stories and the way they are written? Can’t say a plot is ridiculous if it is ridiculous?
Well, if that’s the mindset of the moderators, this certainly isn’t a place I’ll spend much time.
Shame too, this site looked like it had promise.
