What exactly do you think I'm suggesting?
-
Funny stuff. As it happens there are some points - three or four - that I agree with. One or two are subject to becoming law here if it can pass through the Senate. The other ones are basic politeness or will happen which are out of the control of the govt..
-
Look, Sinead, try and be sensible.
-
Sorry. Not convinced. Who is this cath by the way?
-
Next time come to Australia. I'm sure we could find, quite quickly, fit twenty-something ladies who could take up a lot of your time.
-
Settle down. Accept the club for what it is. Colback would be a decent signing.
-
So do you fear the Westminster system?
-
That's why I don't involve myself in EU discussions. I don't know enough about it. But the manifesto of these parties don't come across as offensive to me. There are fuckwits everywhere and in all factions. Left or Right.
-
I've always rated Colback. It depends on who plays around him that will determine how well the team goes. (Subject to him moving across).
-
To be called a racist for anti-immigration views is I think the lowest common denominator. An easy brand to follow if you are on the left, and it's first year uni stuff. There is no hope for fair discussion with that kind of view.
-
Playing here (Australia) or New Zealand. Can't remember where and quite frankly I couldn't give a fuck. Not paying any money that would go towards the current regime.
-
I come back to this site to see whether we have signed a player. Any player. A week and a half ago we were odds on to have signed this Spanish striker, but still we have not signed Xisco v.2. What's going on?
-
It is quite generous. But I do support native title and reconciliation efforts.
-
No, justing stating what I thought was a fact. You clean windows don't you? You enhance their appearance? And yes. I am Australian. An Australian who lives by the sea. God's country.

China are building up to it. Spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on its military to modernise and expand. Never been a nation in history that has built up and spent so much on its navy for it not to be used in a conflict. They've knocked the top off a mountain to build this which they'll use for any operations against Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan and Japan; http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2012/05/28/2003533924 Taking the Spratley Islands (claimed by Vietnam and the Philippines) by force won't be a big job or take up any significant resources. Neither have what you would call a navy of any repute. Communist Vietnam see it coming; http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-05-16/vietnam-tries-damage-control-after-deadly-anti-chinese-riots So do Japan; http://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/sdf-drill-simulates-retaking-island The Japanese conservative government want to change its constitution to allow for collective self defence. The people are against it but the govt will get their way. They are also increasing their military spending which for decades has never exceeded past 1% of its GDP. With its wealth and rise in power, China want to redraw the territorial lines on post WW2 maps and reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs. They will bully (as they are with Vietnam and the Philippines currently) and literally swamp these areas with its military and crush anything that will get in their way. Doing this will not have any significant effect on its economy. After they claim the South China Sea, they'll turn their attention to Taiwan, and then the East China Sea where Japan and the US are waiting.
-
No. Taiwan are and have always been a democracy, Vietnam are red. But Vietnam are fast becoming anti-Chinese; destruction of anything Chinese in Vietnam tells you that. This is not a war about ideoligy. This is a war about national pride. China are treading on toes and soon they'll be stompimg. This war of assertion will start within the next three years. China will be ready then.
-
Not really. Taiwanese understand and respect democracy. Mainland China don't. When individuals enlist in the army, navy or airforce they pledge first and foremost to the Communist Party. That there is the disagreement..
-
Do they? First I've heard of that claim tbh. How have you come to that conclusion?
-
China are preparing for war. If you think otherwise please state your case. First conquest will be the islands the Philipines and Vietnam claim. Second will be Taiwan. Third will be the islands Japan control, and this is the most important. The commies want retribution for what happened in WW2. The biggest show for such little gain except the gloat. The US won't like it. The republicans will be re-selected for power. They'll take them on with the help of its asian allies. The result is either a Pacific controlled by China or a contained China dominated by the US and Japan, Status quo. But China have the edge given the relations with Russia strengthening.
-
Easy there window enhancer.
-
$400B deal with the Chinese. Convenient partnership. Russia contributing to China's buildup for conquest, China allowing Russia to give a big FU to Europe. There will be conflicts soon. Conflicts between first world countries. China will be in them all.
-
Looking forward to this one. Forgot there was some FA Cup something or rather until last Thursday when it appeared on the betting screen. The Atletico game is on at the perfect time and the anticipation for this I've not had for ages.
-
Good player Gosling, as it stands.
-
Tis unfortunate. Might take a few years to sink in, it would seem. Maybe people will follow regardless. Seems that way. Does say a lot about them tbf. Or other past times may become relevant and demand money be thrown at them for people to follow.
