Rumpy, you are sounding more like the mezzo-soprano in the church choir with megalomania.

Please Noco, what mezzo soprano with megalomania? What does megalomania sound like? What does this mean?

Please explain.

MEGALOMANIA
A mental disorder involving exaggerated idea of one's own importance.....passion for grandiose things.
 
How very true this is...
Let's restore Australia to the great Nation it once was.
One can only be disgusted as to what is happening in Australia at the present.

Subject: Larry Pickering "Nailed it" !



Many of us came from convict backgrounds, sent in to exile for stealing a coat or a loaf of bread or a silver spoon.

Some came for murder and robbery or prostitution. Tough people.

Many came from China to work on the Gold Fields.

Some came from Italy to work on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electricity scheme.

Some came from Hungary during the Revolution.

Some came from Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

But they came for a chance to work and start a new life.


And they worked hard !!

The Greeks, Serbs, and Irish, so many more that it would be impossible to name.

There were no hand-outs, no privileges offered.
These people were given a chance to start a new life, in Australia, to become Australians.
And Australians they became.

They learned English and embraced our country while offering the gift of their food and culture and music.

We accepted that gift and sat together at the same table and laughed and drank their wine, ate their food,


danced to their music and married and loved their people.


As they did us.

I have spoken with friends from Hungarian, Italian etc, backgrounds and, while they embrace and celebrate their roots, they consider themselves Australian.

The common denominator with this terrible situation that we find ourselves in is that our current immigrant population do not want to embrace our culture but to destroy it.

They do not want to learn our language, but to annihilate it.

They do not want to work but to get us to work for them.


When our feminists ignore the genital mutilation, oppression of women, rape of little children of both sexes, we have a problem.

When our Politicians condemn an elected member of the Dutch Parliament for coming to Australia to speak his views, we have a problem.

When Australians are callously-murdered in cold blood by immigrants of any Nationality, Religion or Race and our Government offers sympathy to the family of the perpetrator of the crime before offering sympathy to the family of the victim, then we have a problem.



When Australians are living below the poverty line and have nowhere to live while immigrants of any Nationality, Religion or Race are prioritised, then we have a problem.

When 16,000 English-speaking skilled-professional workers are refused visas and 12,000 uneducated, non-English speaking refugees are accepted, then, guess what, we have a problem.



When Australians are called racists and bigots for speaking out about their concerns about the above, then again, we as a Nation, have a problem.

When people prefer to debate the best bachelor or best contestant on X Factor to debating our Nation`s future, our children`s future and our grandchildren`s future, well, you got it, we have a problem.



When our news is censored and we have to delve in to the internet to find out what is happening in the world and in our own country, dare I say, we have a problem.
The one thing that sets Australia apart from almost any other Nation on Earth is the Aussie spirit. It can be seen as a "she`ll be right mate" attitude that suggests apathy; or "she`ll be right mate" because we will take care of it.



I went and saw "Bridge of Lies" yesterday and it is well worth the watch.

The Berlin Wall was put up to separate two different Political views. It was a physical wall.


Today, we have a wall being built in Australia.


It is not made of bricks and mortar. It is made of censorship, Political Correctness and insidious manipulation through media control, Acts of Parliament and Social media trolls.


There is no razor wire, no watch towers. Just the ability to call someone a racist.

I am reminded of the words in the old childhood saying: "Sticks and Stones may break my bones - but words will never hurt me."


Well today, apparently words can hurt you, but only if you live on the side of the wall that our Government and Politicians have elected as the "right" side of the wall.

No longer are people in Australia even able to scale a wall. Bullets are not needed.


To shoot us down, all that is needed is to call us racists or bigots

I am hoping that the Aussie "she`ll be right mate" translates to "don`t worry, we will take care of it" and rise up and say that this is our country

Friends, this is not a Refugee crisis.


This is an Australia Crisis.



I fear that it will be too late if something does not happen while we still have enough Aussies left.

- Larry Pickering

Yes?? But what does a megalomaniac mezzo sound like? Where can we hear her? For that matter, where can we hear SirRumpole? Is he a counter tenor? Is "you sound like a megalomaniac mezzo" a compliment or an insult? What does it mean????

At least SirRumpole can sing. I'm just a megalomaniac.
 
The world witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall.
This was the very powerful image of the defeat of the evil empire -- Godless Communism.
The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe finally came undone, after years of tyranny and oppression.

Three men and women of courage, vision, commitment and perseverance can be mentioned as in large measure being responsible for the death of the Soviet colossus -

Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II

The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister - Three Who Changed the World

I guess somebody got to pay for those business trips and impulse "investment" buys.

Can't do better than a bunch of lazy, no-good, too-poor-for-a-lawyer welfare parasites who, upon receiving a letter, panics, calls up and negotiate a "generous" repayment reschedule - with interests of course.
 

I'm not sure the Pope did much to end the Soviet Union (it being orthodox and muslim), although he did have influence in Eastern Europe.

Ultimately, imo, the USSR collapsed under its own weight. Food shortages and wars in far flung countries are a sure fire way for any government to collapse.

As for Thatcher. Well she handed Hong Kong Island and Kowloon over to the Communists in Beijing. I guess that's what they call realpolltik.

Are any of the countries of the USSR better places than they were back then? The average Russian has less in savings than the average Indian, and 35% of Russia's wealth is controlled by 100 or so oligarchs. Not to mention the murderous tyrant at the top of the tree.
 


100 or so oligarchs own only 35%? Prffffff... what a bunch of amateurs. The top 16 families in America have as much wealth as the bottom half. The top 1% owns about half the place.
 

That is Communism for you...A complete failure....Never has worked and never will.

Thatcher had no choice but to hand back Hong Kong and Kowloon as the 99 year lease had expired and Communist China legally exercise their rite.

The top 1% in Russia own closer to 75% of the wealth. In Russia, the top 16 families would own multiples of what the bottom half have.
 
Is this an early example of political correctness?

Dam.

Good thing they chose Trump then. The Donald is all about winning and will not let the Ruskies beat US.
 
In my view, McLovin, the Soviet Union was Communism, an atheist state, as was Cuba and Castro

Marxism–Leninism

Just like the Greens and these Communists are pushing in Victoria.

We saw them in Europe waving their Communist red flags, same as here in Victoria.
