Offer him more big macs and cokes and lift from the work office to his loungeroom. Make sure he has a buggy to get around the golf course and lots of highly processed yummy nibbles and alcohol at each fairway.

Pay your bills before measuring your growth and profit. Repayments are one of your bills.

So this dude has an intellectual problem. He isn't being logical. His statement is both wrong and irrelevant at the same time.

I know a Tony Anthony. His father is called Tony Anthony too. It's not bad, but it is amusing.

I suspect that if a kid tagged with a name like this turned out to be socially awkward, the name could end up being quite a burden for them.

I think its a good strategy to confront us with how slack we are being compared to other first world countries.

Feels like US is going this way (early days yet).

Good reasons for separation of church and state.

If this is true, can we please ban advertising of processed foods!?

It will be real when it is available even to people who don't have $10k available in their bank account.

One of the most deadly things we blithely do each day is get into a car. Just the statistics (facts!) around this should justify it.

We need better critical thing skills developed in our school curricula

I'll look that up! Those events were memorable for me though I was just a kid living in a politically active household.

These events warrant further scrutiny now, to educate voters.

This is such an obvious out-of-touch reply by trump that I'm actually more interested to read his cult followers' replies and see how their apologetics justify his response this time.

THE Coalition is wasting its time chasing that stupid idea of building a nuclear plant. See what people of the US state of Georgia have to say about the REAL affordability of nuclear power:

I have been an enthusiastic reader all my life and read plenty of stuff that I didn't "agree with" what was happening in the story. It's fiction! 🤷 I also just followed authors for their books, not their life stories (helped by the internet not yet being a thing), so ignorance was not by choice).

So now our meat prices at home will increase *again* because we're competing with a market of 330 million others... that's how the colesworth oligopoly will justify it

University professor of economic geology John Mavrogenes says "...[China] found it was so bad environmentally that even China decided maybe they should quit..."

And we are considering letting US corporations do this on our land? What greedy, short-term thinking.

Also, you know he'd use reasoning to deal with the problem, not emotion or physical strategies. That is HOT

I love the textures and colours in both the garment and the backdrop. Bright colours and smooth textures are fine and all, but they get overwhelming after a while. Sometimes, I want the cosy, earthy, subtle things.

And can I just say, "FINALLY!" to Tingles' observation that, "There seem to be fewer questions framed in that "But what will Dad say?" tone about our relationship with the United States."

Living in the US for over a decade, in 3 states, taught me that we need to separate our culture from theirs.
