Political blurbs and agendas

I'll reserve my judgement until I've received the FBI report....

 

You can reserve your judgement all ya like Bergalia - thing is - with the PC police swarming all over the place - one doesn't dare write or speak it in public.

Whats the world commin too?

Weapons of mass dissapearance is what - and the PC Police hereabouts swallowed it all, hook line and sinker!

Then they get antsy when you point out how thick they are!

Reminds me of the Greenies issue...over the trees all those years ago...and the resultant car bumber sticker...

I think the PC police hereabouts rate about the same level!

Cheers

P.s - for the thickheads herabouts,PC stands for "politically correct"!

 

I think you guys are trying to sneak in political comments again. This is exactly what I am complaining about. You get off topic to introduce your political agendas.

 

Isn't it about time to close this "poll".

 

Keep em out!
I've been a member of this forum since 2001. There are a few who have been lurking around for longer, but not that many. The reason I joined - and most importantly, the reason I stayed - is that this is a place to talk about BOATS.
Period
Every now and then the lines are blurred, I admit - but only when politics impacts on BOATS
Nobody's trying to restrict your freedom of speach - just suggesting that there are more appropriate places for you to voice your political opinions.....

 

Willallison me O-L-D mate wot's a boat? do we talk about 'em or use 'em haven't got time for both tooooo many political agendas to look at!

 

Speak for yourself - I just had three maginificent days away on the BOAT. Met up with a number of others doing the same thing - you know....getting away from it all. We even managed to squeeze in the odd political argument!

 

Hey Will - which part of Australia do you live in ? Perhaps you don't realise that the 'Sedition Bill' press-ganged through Parliament last week does exactly that. Your freedom of speech, as an Australian - is now restricted. More than restricted - it's been removed entirely. Just try raising your voice against the present administration - or any 'friendly' administration through the normal media channels.
This forum - this excellent forum - is one of the very few areas you can still mutter in discontent.

 

I live in Tassie - where we don't brawl on the beaches! But where we love to talk about BOATS.....

 

Me - I'm on the 'Far South Coast' - well away from the Sydneyites...We not only talk about boats - we also mess about in boats...

 

Viva La Revolution!!!
Of course only if it can be done during half time...

Oh no, its that pesky political opinion thing. Its spreading. OhhhhHHHH!!!

 

Here's a question young Thompson - How come my patch of the Great South Land is flooded with tourists whose car number plates proclaim: "Victoria - the Place to be..." Question is - if it is - why aren't they

 

It looks to me that you are a bit radical about the issue.

Take a look at some comments, opinions and political views that you have expressed in the thread "New propulsion systems for ships ":

It seems to me that there are here a lot of opinions and political content not directly related to that thread. Opposite your opinion I don’t think that it should have been deleted.

I think that Jeff has a better approach to the problem:

I agree with Bergalia when he says:

Politics are the way men interact in society and therefore all significant actions made by men have political implications. How can any sector of human life exclude Politics?

Gonzo, nothing personal here, I hope you take no offense, because none is intended. It’s just political talk, just a difference of opinion.

 

I think that political opinions or an observation of a political influence on a subject is appropiate. My problem is with people that sneak in politics-blurbs- in threads when it has nothing to do with the discusion. Also, when they use politics to insult and degrade other posters because they are not capable of intelligent discussion.
