Hey Rumpy...another 143 viewers from 7.30 am to 9.30 am this morning.
So am I driving them away or attracting interest?
Is Shorten PM material?

Considering my post count is 120 your arithmetic is almost as pathetic as your reading skills.
But feel free to prove your stupid assertion, if you can.
More trolling hey......You just cannot help yourself...I feel so sorry for you.

Trolling? For defending myself????? Phhht.
You are better off feeling sorry for yourself after your imbecilic behaviour in this thread.
I thought Rumpole was bad enough with his ridicule and insinuations, but he is a gentleman compared to you.

And I'm a gentleman compared to you. I'll speak to you the same way you speak to me

Really, well how about you take the initiative first and I will follow suit.....If I name Bill shorten as a Fabian or criticize the Green/Labor left wing socialist coalition, you will now refrain from intimidation and ridicule....Is that the deal?

No. The deal is you post whatever you like about Shorten.
I will post what I like about Shorten.
No insults from you. No retaliation from me.
We shake hands here and now. Better deal for everyone.

It's always a shame when these political threads are reduced to tit-for-tat personal attacks and accusations of trolling. It's been said many times in many ways: play the ball, not the man; attack the argument, not the person. Debate the issues all you like, but please don't make ad hominem attacks on others. Let's keep the discussion as constructive as possible.
Yes Joe I totally agree......unfortunately there are the odd ones who persist in character assassination and ridicule to gain dominance in a debate....If you disagree with their post, then the intimidation begins....If you put up actual facts, it is termed rubbish or what planet did you live on?
OK.

I wonder if it's possible to have a "dislike" button ? We may then get an idea of who is trolling.

Sadly, I think a dislike button would only add to the negativity. The answer is to keep the discussion constructive and ignore those who refuse to engage in constructive debate.

Joe, I am sure some would find that most difficult.......It is all about respect...If you don't give it, don't expect to receive it

I agree that respect is critical, as is having an open mind. I have many friends and family members who I disagree with politically but can still have a constructive discussion with. Constructive discussion and debate is all about having the right intentions; to listen to other points of view with an open mind and then explaining why you believe the way you do. To both challenge others and to be challenged yourself and increase understanding on both sides.

Yes, a very intelligent post.
Would you care to tell us why you think Shorten sucks ?Personally I find him overly smarmy and ingratiating but I think he's done a good job getting a seriously divided Party back to an election winning position. He obviously has behind the scenes negotiating abilities.
I think he's a Right of centre politician who depends on the Left for survival which requires him to walk a tightrope on policy, in that respect he's in exactly the same position as Turnbull who is to the Left of his party but depends on the Right for survival.
That makes Turnbull and Shorten equally insecure in their leadership and either or both could topple before the next election.
Some times one is provoked and one provacation leads to another and that is when it can get out of hand...Joe, I would like to see you intervene at lot more.

Actually I would like to both of them go because neither are doing the right thing in the National interest....Di Natalie is just as bad if not worse...All of them have their snouts in the trough and rorting the system
If Turnbull told the people that he would tear up the Paris Climate change agreement, stop the immigration of Muslims and take a firm hand with them to integrate, accept out laws and out way of life or leave Australia, ban the Burka and stop this renewable energy madness and clean up retired MPS entitlements and perks , his popularity would rocket over night.
One only has to look at rise One Nation and it is really based on most of the above...Pauline Hanson and Cory Bernadi are the only two listening to what the people want.
The other two and a half major parties are only interested in vote catching...Cuddle up to the Muslims and the unions.
