Maybe one day I too can base my personal identity around pop stars, then I will no longer be empty.

This is surreal.

Brenton posts a lot to tell the Internet how little he is bothered also Australia is very important on the world stage and the Greens are relevant.

How could I possibly have predicted that level-headed, rational Muertos was going to be the next poster?

It's... fucking obvious that I wasn't praising Mormonism as institution or it's theology. It's clear I was talking about my Mormon friends. *yawn*

The Greens are relevant in my country. The current Labor government would not be in power were it not for their support.

Also, you haven't "come across" me and pray God that you never ever ever do. Just sayin'.

What arguments? This whole argument is based on the stupidest member of this forum (by far) not understanding what I was saying, and then Matt following along with that and then it all going from there.

I mean seriously, Billl has to be by far the most densely limited user that posts on here and you're taking him seriously despite what I said being like... totally totally succinct and clear?

Whatever. I know it makes me a bitch to say that, but it's SOOO TRUE.

I mean if anyone's disingenuous in this post it's the JERK that categorises 14 million people as "fake". I mean seriously Bill, FUCK YOU.

Intelligent people don't categorise an entire social group of people as "fake". (Our PM recently tried to do this about the Greens to try to appeal to her right, despite the fact that she can't rule without us). You'd see it as ridiculous if somebody said that all Muslims are fake because there are a lot more of them and it's more obvious that it's a stupid thing to say. But because we're talking about one branch of Christianity it's easier to believe such a stupid statement. Isn't it?

And, your judgment of who is intelligent really... doesn't carry much weight, to me. The only people that can't express themselves well with a keyboard that I've ever known are people that just don't think in a flowing, intelligent way. OMG GENERALISATION. See Bill, I can do it too! At least I can see it's fucking stupid, though.

Except like influence on, the entire Government for the next three years at least... and holding balance of power in the Upper House for at least the next seven years which means not one piece of policy can be passed without Greens approval unless Labor gets the LNP to vote in their favor (which almost never happens)...

If the Greens withdraw support we go to an election and Labor knows that means Tony Abbott will be PM if the current primary vote polling is accurate. And if you want something to categorise Tony Abbott, he's like the wet-dream of Tea Party types...

I'm not generalising teabaggers. Tony Abbott is by definition the Auatralian version of that. His focus is rejecting government spending, campaigning against taking subsidies off carbon with phrases like "it'll destroy our society", and sooking constantly about taxpayers providing too much of a "welfare state", among other things.

I'd be interested to know what makes the Greens "fake". The first Green party in the world was created in this country, so that's more than an attack on the Greens. It's an attack on a revolutionary new social movement that started in this country - in Tasmania, to be specific.

Never said I did. But they're defined (for the most part) by protesting government spending. That's kind of, obvious is it not?

Judas/Bretton, please be quiet, you are messing up this fine thread.

No Brenton, they're defined in your mind that way because you don't know what you're talking about.

But nobody cares what people in your country think.

Yeah, but that makes it all the more fun making sure people know how this country thinks.

And Alexa, GROSS. Save your morbid desires for private discussions ploise. Revolting in the extreme.

It doesn't really matter either way. I live in a country with a far better educated demographic than yours so, I have the high ground no matter how many insults you throw at this country.

I'm going to do something novel and make an on-topic post.

Even if TZM does actually start doing things with real world impact, I will still call them a conspiracy movement if conspiracy theories remain a part of their ideology, for lack of better term. If this remains the case, it's highly unlikely they will do things with real world impact, because all the problems are the fault of the conspirators. But I can still hope. If they do real world things, I will have a tiny shred of respect for them.
