    No because most of you are against everything he stands for.

    If everything he stands for is represented by that link then I think you'll find a silent majority here would support his position

    Not to mention the not-so-silent minority.

    I disagree with this.
    I believe in free trade/enterprise and I think most Australians do, but there are some conditions that we place upon it. Australians believe in what we refer to as a "fair go" and we try to apply it to everyone. In practice this means everyone has a relatively equal access to the same quality of education and also health care. This is because if these basics of life are covered then anyone who has the talent and desire to succeed in our system can do.

    I am not going to pretend that our system is perfect, but I do believe that trying to create equality of opportunity is something that is at the very heart of who we are. I remember the story of when Duntroon our original army officer training facility was set up by the English (before federation and our oldest institution) and they recommended that there be an enterance fee set high enough to keep out the lower social classes. We made enterance free.

    If the billionare and the street beggar both had children, under your countries system the child of the beggar has a very low chance of success within your economy. In our system the beggars child still won't have the same level of opportunity as the billionares, but at least we will give him a go (a chance).

    Governments do become self serving beaurocracies and we are rediculously over-governed. But I will accept that willingly to know that we won't give up on anyone.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    Happy, whilst I have no great empathy with the current US administration, you are being unnecessarily insulting in your comments, especially as you know they are being read by at least two decent patriotic Americans.

    The US has free and fair elections according to their laws, and to insult their choice from without is an insult not only to their President but also to their people.

    Whatever he is, he's theirs to praise or abuse. We should only make critique to the extent it affects us, not as to their democratic choice of President.

    Sorry for being a moralising prat.

    Any chance we can get a new ground designated a religious charity for donation purposes? Come on lawyers, get at it.

    Well! I told you so Burgs, you and Shasta agree with Jerry Jones but Cowboy and a slew of people who praised his post disagree. But don't give up the fight, you can still win the war Burgs!

    I think you misunderstand me, I and most of the people in my country are not against everything he represents. The rest was just trying to explain the underlying differences between us that I thought had lead you to that conclusion.

    I think your right, a deep, almost religious appreciation for HOT CHICKS can cross all cultural boundries and unite mankind.
    Thank you Larry
