    Tunisia?

    You blokes insist that countries have elections but when the result doesn't go your way you bitch. Good luck to Egypt, can't help but wish them well now they aren't governed by a US puppet. Great to see both Tunisia and Egypt in the UN speaking as elected governments rather that pawns of America. Awesome.

    Your bad as usual - death riding them.

    Actually most countries and their people are quite happy being themselves. How many Canadians would say they're American? Call an Irishman a Brit and see how long you stand on your feet.


    Must be a terrible polluter - 2 gallons of fuel a week really puts the smoke in the air. I'll increase my train and bus travel.


    You poor dears, life must be so difficult living in the richest, most powerful nation the world has ever seen. I'll hold a fund raising party for you.

    I could drag out a post you made when someone had the audacity to suggest the Americans were poor to prove your total hypocrisy on this issue. It was along the lines of making fun of the poster because even the poorest American is richer than 95% of the world's inhabitants.

    Do what people in really and truly poor countries do and buy a bike. Your roads are big enough.

    There are always petrol heads, they must be very wealthy because they get severely hit by extra expenses such as rego. If you can think of something to take the place of road trains the world would be very pleased.

    Resources are 8% of GDP. China are our biggest buyers of resources. If you haven't been to Australia we are the same size as the USA with 1 tenth the population. The pollution we put out is miniscule but we are trying to lessen it and in the latest quarter it is down by 6%.

    Iran hasn't got nukes, everyone agrees with that. Oh - except Foxnews.

    Yep petrol is hugely expensive everywhere except the US. They just love being the victims.

    #1 Road trains running on biofuels or hydrogen.

    #2 They represent your main source of income , what else do you export except raw materials ? Oh ya almost nothing. Thanks for exporting to China though. I'm sure they'll nuke you last. That is if you don't self exterminate first.

    #2b It doesn't matter if it's minuscule , your minuscule pollution almost nuked the Great Barrier. Brain cancer is also minuscule yet it can easily kill you.

    #3 No shit Einstein . We know they don't have nukes - yet. N Korea didn't had nukes either - they do now.

    #4 No they just don't tax their petrol like we do. The price of the petrol in the EU us due to a 60% tax. Untaxed biofuels are at half the price.

    Love your posts lately, not being sarcastic, I really do. Looks like all the independent observers are coming to the obvious conclusion that Romney is just a useless bum.

    But, I was not aware that any American student received a Degree at your so called High School`s. To my knowledge, all they get is a Diploma, which is a piece of paper confirming that they have accomplished a certain level of education demanded by Government bodies for the consideration of employment.

    It is not a Degree, but just a piece of paper to show they have "finished school" rather similar to our State schools in the UK with their GCSE, with a reasonable standard of achievement. They have to go to College or University to obtain a Degree.

    A simple "I have finished school" Diploma or GCSE is a poor man`s qualification saying that one has climbed out of the trees with distinction.

    Gee Cor, you astonish me with your literary skills, but I do appreciate your attempts to advise me on grammar and punctuation. It is a remarkable effort considering it comes from an American, a nation which have contaminated perfectly good English into some hybrid version of their own, where the spelling of so many words is completely wrong. Any way Cor, well done old chap, 4 out of 10 for trying.

    My humble participation in Forum chatting, is not to seek a Nobel Prize for English literature, but just to communicate. I honestly promise to try my very best to improve my obvious imperfections to meet your unquestionable impeccable standards.

    How can someone say Romney is a useless bum compared to the person we have in office now?

    I'd love to know why people keep letting Obama get away with comments like: "The rich need to pay their fair share" , "There is no reason a secretary should have a higher tax bracket than Mr. Romney" ....

    Attacking the rich and making them victims isn't going to fix the economy. And when he taxes them and the money runs out, he won't be able to turn to them when he f*cks up again.

    In my opinion Obama do not deserve for second term. Romney can be a good president.

    My participation on this forum is to 1) gain knowledge, 2) meet interesting people, and 3) improve my language skills. Many other people are here for the same.

    In the internet economy, writing properly increases your income. I sort of assumed that you were trying to improve your skills, and I made an attempt to connect with you. You seem more intent on immature posturing, which is useless. You're less concerned with the truth of a situation and more concerned with stringing together the proper words to give yourself the appearance of making an impact. Makes you come across as awkward.

    But reading your words it seems that you have the same problem as many liberals - you can't think past what you've already written because you miss a basic concept - insults change nobody's minds. You've made no impact here.

    See? This is an example. If you were educated you would gleefully point out these "independent observers". Instead you wrote that sentence in an obvious but sad attempt to shove your position on others. It's intent is obvious, which is why your failure to communicate is obvious and your sentence falls flat. It's an obvious lie.

    HOW you use language reveals who you are.

    To summarize, it is obvious that the Reps are scraping the barrel to come up with Romney & Ryan. It is a modern day version of Laurel & Hardy - "That`s another fine mess you`ve got me into Stanley".

    Oh please God, bring back that little Texas turd Georgie Bush and lead us to economic prosperity and worldwide wars and conflict.

    But Holy Cow ! Look at the Reps last debacle. They put up some old guy who needed help crossing the road and who had spent an extravagant vacation in Vietnam`s Hanoi Hilton, everything found, funded lavishly by his rich old man with pots of lovely dollars, whilst his American fly-boy comrades spend their time languishing in bamboo cages fed on maggoty rice.

    AND this senile geriatric was backed up by Alaska`s very own promiscuous Eskimo Nell, the Wild Woman of the North. Christ ! Even Hollywood could not do better than that.

    Obama is going to have a walk in the park.

    To summarize, I think you're confused and desperate for attention.

    Moving along...

    Not confused, just desperate for attention. Whatever the cause, the posts are definitely not the result of an interest in US politics, cause he doesn't even know anything about the topic other than the names.

    Dumbass doesn't even know 'Hanoi Hilton" was a sardonic euphemism for a hellish prison. I'm guessing he's maybe 15.

    Fair enough my ignorant fans, keep it coming. I accept your crude uneducated observations and comments. It is what I expect from the common proletariat, but I am a little older than 15, extremely life experienced in all manners of human conduct and I DO know all about the Hanoi Hilton, which you obviously do not and I do expect childish abusive comments from upset Reps. It all makes for great fun eh ? But if I upset a few flag waving Reps barking their heads off at a lost cause and supporting the born-again Laurel & Hardy show - then so what ?

    "Mah name`s Obama `an ahm gonna put dose two bums Romney and Ryan raht in da slammer".

    It sells tickets - "I am the Greatest !"

    I think John Bull is the worst bullshitter ever to appear on DP. Even Breeze was better than him.

    Another foreign commentator speaking on the US election today.

    "The legacy of America's last conservative administration, in short, is toxic."

    "In the pithy summary of Tom Switzer, editor of the Spectator magazine in Australia and lecturer at the US Studies Centre, as well as a card-carrying Liberal: "Bush's reputation is tainted by two costly wars, big spending policies and the Fed's housing and mortgage mania, which led to soaring debt, budget deficit and the financial crisis"."


    Come on Obama - you go man. Please save what's left of my super after the Republicans destroyed it last time they were in office. Keep up the good work.

    "Obama took the opportunity to emphasise that he was not Bush, either: ''We were losing 800,000 jobs a month when I started,'' he said. ''But we have been digging our way out of policies that were misplaced and focused on the top doing very well and middle-class folks not doing well.

    ''Now, we've seen 30 consecutive - 31 consecutive months of job growth; 5.2 million new jobs created. And the plans that I talked about will create even more.''"

    Whenever anyone goes into the bullshit of "two costly wars", you just KNOW they are full of shit!

    Did you know the entire cost of the Iraq war from it's start to finish is less than what the United States spends on the U.S. Department of Agriculture IN ONE YEAR? No? You didn't know that? Well, I didn't expect you to.

    And just to subtract more from Bull's already negative credibility:

    @Bob: Sorry for the delayed response, Ive been busy, and your comment is mostly idiiotic. Just a few posts prior, you were arguing about how nobody wants to be like the US, and now you are admitting we are the wealthiest nation on the planet. Which is it? By the way, it hasn't dawned on you but let me clue you in.

    Even the wealthiest nation on the planet has poor people. Lots of them. Sure, they don't live in mud huts without electricity. Most of them have cell phones and flat panel TVs. It still doesn't justify driving up their cost of living dramatically to artificially promote green energy initiatives. Get a clue.


    @Helvetti: Welcome back. I'm guessing the makers of the video thought Romney's wealth is a negative. Most Americans I know look at wealth as something to be aspired to. Its one of the big reasons videos like that only have a political affect on those who despise wealth, and we already know how those people are going to vote.

    I thought this was interesting.

    Oh I feel for the poor people of America, I'll send some cardboard boxes over so they have a place to live. Or maybe they can use the cartons the TVs came in?

    Do you give them the forks as you drive past in your government subsidised car? "Look at me, look at me! "

    What an inhumane government you have now, no wonder you want to swap them for a government that gave huge tax breaks to the rich and wants to give them more. Wants even more tax breaks for companies, wants to give the middle class tax breaks and wants to cut welfare because ....

    And stuff them, they don't need health care either, only clogs up the hospitals doesn't it. The Republicans - Party for the Poor.
