I know swearing is harsh, and I often don't like it at all, but at the same time, it can be meaningful or very funny...context and timing are most critical. Swearing and a comedic theme can go well together. Comedy is funny because it breaks some social law in some way. A man slips on a banana whereas he should have just been walking...pretty much all comedy is like that...something that shouldn't happen...happens. So I think pretty well all comedy comes about as some sort of insult to what is normal or acceptable or appropriate, whatever 'appropriate' means. I taught my children as best i could that swearing was for a few reasons: Either to indicate significant pain, shock, indignation or betrayal. Swearing in these contexts was a very good thing to do. Or, swearing was a way to improve comedy delivery. The Australian vernacular is rich with possibilities in this manner. The traditional saying 'every man and his dog were there' still, to me, is far more entertaining and meaningful when one says 'Every cunt and his dog were there'.It means the same thing, yet is just more fun and colourful to say. We should teach our children well. Imagine, if when reading the bible, instead of Pilate dismissing his wife's concern about having a threatening dream of Jesus the night before, instead of just dismissing her concerns, he had said "look, Cheryl, I acknowledge that you've had a bad dream, but, I just got home...just let me relax a bit. I received a bad scroll from Rome, the city is running out of wheat, and I've been dealing with the Jews all day...I've had a cunt of a day."

I'm not opposed to Donald Trump. If he can improve the lot of poor and working class Americans, then he will be a good President of that country. Obama, Bush, etc didn't do that because their focus was about the world with America as policeman. I agree with Trump that the world doesn't need a policeman, that the world is far better off without America as a Policeman or an influence. But America does need someone who delivers jobs to people in America. So far, he is doing that. That's his job. Americans voted for Trump, so his job is to meet their needs. It hasn't got anything to do with the World Order, international financial stability, NATO, or anything else. He has his elected term, see how he goes in that hard ground


Interestingly, the one fellow in China who foresaw the Western World Crash of 2008 in 2003, and helped China to avoid it, and thus jumped China 20 years ahead of all expectations, is now their Minister for Propaganda. He makes Coca Cola, the BBC, Google and Facebook look very amateur indeed...simply because they are real amateurs in the real world and don't really know what they are doing. The world has changed, and they missed it.


Once a year, in China, the mothers gather together and study the world gold price. When the gold price goes low, they arrange parties in Singapore and Hong Kong to catch up and talk about their husbands and the world. They arrive in hordes of thousands, they stay in nice hotels, buy everything made of gold at a low price, and take it home. This causes the world gold price to go up. Then, they sell. Women....


China, like India, like Korea, like japan, like Pakistan, produces very intensely bright human beings. If all universities on earth based their acceptance of students on the basis of their applicants on merit, on intellectual test results and real promise, then one third of every university on earth would be made up of North Asian women.


China: As it is, run by the Party, with only 80 million members of the Party...lifting 20 million people out of poverty every year for the last 20 years. That's 400 million people moving out of early death, ignorance, and poverty into the Middle Class, buying things, spending money on education for their kids in Europe and America...to know the world... That's the biggest dent in world poverty the world has ever known. That is better than the best achievements of any charity or medicines sans frontiers or any government actions etc on earth in the history of human kind. Mr Xi's Plan: Accelerate the process. That's the One Belt One Road Program. That's not a bad thing. We will just have to get used to being okay without wars.


3 Nazis i have met in my life. One: I parked my BMW K1100LT in the carpark outside the shopping centre and an old guy came up and started talking about the bike. He said they had changed a lot since the War. He said he was riding the Wermacht twin machine through L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris, he was one of the first wave of German Infantry to take Paris. It was a beautiful day. His machine gunner was in the sidecar, singing. He had stuffed fresh red roses in the barrel. The girls of Paris were so beautiful. He felt so...triumphant. He had a new full length black leather coat made to order. The world, for him, was a wonderful place that day. He said 'well, eventually, we lost, but I have never forgotten the joy of that day when I was 25. It was my birthday. The future was this wonderful possibility...My parents, my friends, my self, we were all so proud of me...times go by...anyway...you have a nice bike.' 2: Jacques, the 80 year old painter/artist. As a young man he was very interested in, and joined Hitler Youth and was very proud and happy. For the first time in his life, he felt respected. He was 16. When it came to being conscripted into the German Army, he got scared and ran away, not because he disagreed with Hitler, but because he was scared of the exercises and of eventually getting hurt. He had a low pain tolerance. So, at 20, he stole his parents money, and he ran from Germany, across Europe, across Africa, and Asia and ended up in Australia...learning and extending his painting skills in every place. He remains a very celebrated artist with his paintings doing well around the world, in galleries, etc. I asked him how he looked so young and fit, for a man of his age, and he replied 'well, I think it is because whenever I have been faced with a challenge, or any kind of personal responsibility, I have run away." 3: Mrs Myrtle: 100, having outlived all her enemies, living in a remote Australian hospital. She lived on a large pastoral property and by the age of 20 had shot to death 7 aborigines, including 3 kids, who had taken to living on her river's edge. Then she married well and lived a grand life, a true matriarch, surrounded by many tens of kids, twenties of grandkids, 30s of great grand kids... 'Mind you," she said "you wouldn't do that these days." I asked 'You wouldn't shoot people?" No, you wouldn't have so many kids, not these days.. Real people, real lives. Life is quite an interesting thing. I think everything is going to work out fine.
