I know fuck all about your country. I’ve known and worked alongside many Australians, and never met a really bad one. They all seemed to manage their drinking well. Practice makes perfect I suppose. Didn’t mean to talk out of turn regarding your homeland. I knew a guy, an international vagabond type, trying to get home from Thailand, who got caught up in the quarantine bit there. He told me a little about his experience. He’s an ass so I didn’t get the full story but caught the gist of it. He could have benefited by taking lager lessons from some Australians I think. Sloppy drunks give me a pain. I think he got murdered in Laos a year or so ago. He just never came back. Idiot. Yellow fever victim. Only dug Asian chicks, and young ones at that.
Hope it’s less crazy there now. My own country went nuts too, but I tried to retain a sense of normalcy. Easy for me, I’m retired, and reclusive. You and I have probably much more in common than differences.
I’m more than a bit irritable. Old, in pain and fresh out of fucks to give. Sorry to have taken it out on you. I just took exception to your tone, but that’s my own fault. Shouldn’t read this site before my first cup of coffee. I lack patience and forbearance. Unlikely to reform. A character flaw. Will soon enough pass away and cease to bother anyone.
Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch where Palin says “I didn’t come in here for an argument.” And Cleese replies “Yes you did.” Entirely too silly!
Social engineers have ever since seized on this failed research experiment in a futile effort to manage human populations especially in urban centers, with catastrophic results despite which they unrelentingly persevere. They actually blame the victims of their awful inhuman experiments. (Rednecks, of any race never seem to learn).
That’s not confined to any country in particular, and doesn’t work anywhere, but they continue beating that dead horse.
Humans obviously aren’t rodents. This fact is ignored by all social scientists. The social engineers don’t believe there is such a thing as human nature. They’re absolutely sure it’s all a social construct which if optimized will produce the best conditions for the greatest number. Or they’re just psychopaths cashing in or having fun by creating misery and chaos. Examples are numerous enough.
That was my reference to ‘they think we’re all rats in a maze’. I’m not a rat. I’m not in a maze. Refuse to enter one. Hope you can say the same all your life.
Stay free. Don’t let anybody on earth own you.
Or, you’re a bot and I’m being nice to an AI because it’s late and I’m feeling mellow. Hope not. G’Day Mate.
Ironically, some of the best connections I've made here resulted from a clash of personalities but then a bit of effort to go deeper.
I really appreciate the response.
So, me too. Sorry about the footing.
I just took exception to your tone, but that’s my own fault.
One of my best character flaws is not being smart enough, or brilliant enough, to not come across as a condescending as*hole when talking about certain things. I'm moderately aware of it, but I keep stepping in that pile of dog poo.
And, to be fair, I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder when it comes to my country and my people. Especially from as*hole on GAW or other forums who just write us off, because of the impressions they have formed on the basis of limited info. I'm not suggesting this is what you did, but your statement about Australia doing the camps triggered that reflex on my part.
No one should ever be written off. No nation, no people, no group. People survived even 70 years of Soviet communism, amazingly enough.
You write well. And, you are a pleasure to read. Your mastery with the word is evident, and to some extent, surprising (I think it's probably better than 90% who write here). Also, you clearly have some knowledge and wisdom stored up. It would be nice to see you around here more. But make sure you suck down the coffee first!
A double blessing on you. If its any comfort, please know that you're response has made this day special for me. I'm grateful. Because of you, I've received a blessing. Sounds like soppy pathos, but its true.
Post a bit. Share that wisdom, and knowledge, in the moments between being pissed off with things or just being in pain. Too many folks here throw around news, but we also need more knowledge and experience on the board.
Perhaps our initial clash was a trial. If so, we passed it. I'm happy that we got off on the wrong foot if only because it led to the current exchange.
Also, yes, I have to work on tone. Thanks for challenging me on that.
In conclusion, yes, I am bot, but I'm an exceedingly advanced model.
Take care, you old bastard.

If you ever figure out how to address that, please let me know.
Sorry we got off on the wrong foot.

Did you ever hear of mouse utopia?
