Would it stop there, though? Might it not spark a wider nuclear exchange
like between India, China and Pakistan?

** Massive, fucking non-sequitur.

My opinion that I don't have an English accent is based on conversations with people who study accents for a living.

** Bullshit, it sticks out like dogs balls.

To you. And everybody else who shares my Australian accent.

No pom thinks I'm English. My Australian accent isn't broad enough to get up their noses, but I'm clearly not Englsih (or Welsh, Scottish or Irish).

> You sound like some snooty pom that has lived here a while.

To you.

> IOW a posh mixed accent.

It always was educated Australian, which may sound posh to you. Snooty pom's (and I've met few) sound rather different.

My opinion that I'm not autistic is based on conversations with people who are similarly expert.

** The lied to you - cos you are a glaring example.

You've not met me face to face, which means that you wouldn't be allowed to make such a diagnosis if you were a psychiatrist - which you aren't.

Currently, diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders run at one kid in 68.

Dunbar's number is about 150, so you are unlikely to know more than two, yet you seem to think that about the half population is autistic.

My conclusion is that you have a very odd idea of what autism is, and would be well advised to leave the business of diagnosing the disorder to people who know what they are talking about - which you obviously don't.

You'd like my claim to be a non sequitur,

** Look it up.

That's exactly what I did. I didn't have to - I know what it means

://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/non%20sequitur

** No sign-in links - forget them.

You didn't have to sign in to read the definition

There's a direct and obvious connection between your - bizarre - claims
and my response.

** No sequitur = does not logically follow.

Another debating cheat.

You do like to cheat. This is a more blatant attempt than usual.

You don't notice you own accent in other people's speech.

** Hmmmm - makes at lot of sense .........l.

Phoneticians can manage it,

** Manage what?

Detecting their own accent in other peoples speech.

You posted a nonsense.

It might not have made sense to you, but it's more likely you couldn't be bothered to think about it and tried for a dismissive response.

** So they ought to forget their animosity and breed more often with pommy bitches and make more brats ? Not likely.

The animosity is to upper-class Poms.

** ROTFLAMO !!!

The animosity from regular Aussies is directed straight at all the
FUCKING TEN POUND POMS plus offspring that have invaded us over the years.
The dregs of the UK slums and vile suburbs.

The counter-example that I gave - and you snipped - went back to 1889 which is a little earlier than the ten pound poms (all of whom seemed to settle in pretty quietly, despite your claims).

There was more fuss about the bloody refugees who arrived a little earlier than the ten pound poms. Nothing on the scale of the 2005 Cronulla race riots of course.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Cronulla_riots

Your hero, Alan Jones, got fined for what he said over the radio at the time.

You seem to be channeling him.

You claimed to have campaigned for the Liberals rather the idiot nationalist One Nation party. Your line is silly enough to have come from Pauline Hanson herself.

New South Wales was originally settled by convicts, who really were the dregs of the slums. My immigrant ancestors went to South Australia (which never got any convicts). Getting upset about people who paid to come here when the country was originally populated by people who got sent here to pay for their crimes is a little silly.

Projecting again, are we?

They don't ask what you do for a living, what education you achieved or even if you might have spent time in jail for something bad.

But as I lived on the *wrong side* of a certain road and a recently moved federal electoral boundary - it was a nightmare to get special permission to join my local branch where I know almost everyone. I was only 10 yards out of area.

OTOH, being a self employed person the local Labor party branch did not want me as a member at all. Only unionists are welcome.

No official union exists for the self employed - except for doctors and lawyers who set up special ones to solve that issue.

Odd thing is, most of the recent Labor leaders have NEVER been members of any union. They all got in the back door by being employed as expert advisors for the party. Employees of the party are automatically entitled to be members and many get fast tracked into being MPs.

The title "apparatchicks" applies - see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparatchik

Real unionists are now "personae non grata".

BTW:

You could not pay me enough to join the Greens - 100% total nutters.

New South Wales was originally settled by convicts,

My grandparents came from Ireland and England arriving in Northern Tasmania in the 1850s. The Irish side are all Patmores.

So I guess I have that Irish rebel streak from birth.

Be warned.

:-D

Curistor Doom and NT think that they can recognise reasoned argument.

Their definition seems to be based on the idea that sound reasoning is what leads to conclusions that they like.

There's absolutely no evidence that either of them can follow reasoned argument - they routinely reject it out of hand - and they certainly can't produce it.

What they want is Gullible Twit Fodder, and they do seem to have an enormous appetite for it.

That's an improvement on NT waving his head around noisily. It would be even nicer if he shut up completely.

I saw the aftermath of a drive-by shooting one time, two seriously
wounded and one kid dead, face down on the pavement in blood. I was less
than a block away when the shots were fired, seven or eight, even small
arms and 9mm pistol are ear-shattering that close without hearing
protection.

And then it's just quiet for a very long time, traffic going by in the
distance and the sun shining and the birds chirping like any other
Sunday afternoon. Then the screaming starts.

I don't think engineers tend to get out much. They might see some real
shit that gives them "the creeps" from time to time if they did. More so
than a painting.

** FYI:

American teen drug gangs are not the ONLY people with hand guns.

Event #1:

One Tuesday morning around 11am, from my home workshop I heard three loud cracks. Bang, bang ... bang. Then screaming.

Went outside where there are numerous shops plus a bank, to find a small car parked with the driver's door open and a woman slumped over inside.

A teenage boy in school uniform was walking about while yelling " What Happened ?? " over and over. He had blood all down his white shirt.

The woman in the car ( Toula ) was his mother, shot dead in an attempted robbery that went wrong. She was transporting a few thousand dollars in cash from her local service station down the road to the bank.

Soon ambulances, police and a helicopter arrived - the later looking for the getaway car. The gunman was never caught, his parents helped him to escape to Greece the next morning - paying for his air ticket.

A young employee of the service station set the robbery up, advising the gunman where and when to carry it out.


Event #2:

Got a phone call from a colleague about a news story in the paper - a pal of mine ( Steve ) who also worked from home and did similar stuff had been shot dead in his garage. Three rounds from a small calibre gun into his heart.

His new wife raised the alarm since she could not get the garage door open nor get husband on the intercom. Police initially thought he had been electrocuted because there was no obvious blood.

Phone calls to the house went unanswered so I rang the police with my bit of info - since I had been on the phone with Steve hours before the event.

I had to make a detailed statement at the police headquarters near where he and his wife lived and attend the Coroner's Inquest as a witness.

The culprit was never found and just a small amount of cash was missing.

We had some customers in common, about one of them I told Steve " I would not touch with a 20 foot pole" - so I was a bit scared for a while.

He lives in the US. Getting your shots up to date can be expensive there.

That's one advantage of universal health care that Americans don't seem to be aware of. If everybody's shots are up-to-date, the population has herd immunity and nobody is going to get infected, or pass on the bug.

We took a walk along the Embarcadero last week, about a mile from the
Ferry Building to Hillstone. Rumor had it that the BBQ ribs were
dynamite, and they were. It was a nice walk along the bay, just about
sunset. The worst part was a couple of street musicians with battery
powered amps and zero talent.

The tourists go where they always go, and the street people follow
them. The only reason to get near downtown is for the food, once in a
while.

My MD makes me get a bunch of shots when I visit her. Shingles, flu,
tetanus, pneumonia. She calls in a heavily armed nurse and I can't
escape.

No, not hardly the only ones. Behold Providence's finest blaze away at a
suspect right in the middle of a busy downtown roadway:

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFXrMue1Ojs>

Only problem was the driver wasn't the suspect wanted for stealing a
police car, it was an uninvolved resident who ran from them because he
had a minor-tier warrant or some small amount of drugs in the truck or
somesuch.

The police got the vehicles mixesd-up. He went down in a hail of gunfire
anyway for running and his captive passenger was seriously wounded, too.

Note how the police all panic and flee once the tires start smoking
because the deceased's foot mashes down the accelerator leaving the
wounded passenger sitting there, whatever...
