Again Robb

Easy to judge from a thousand miles away.

Why don’t you stick to what you know, not what the Sydney morning herald forces down your throat.

Really sad you think reading a couple of articles makes you more informed than people who actually live in the US

posted on 23/4/22

And you have continuously ignored this point and refused to comment on it.

AOC was one of the most vociferous opponents of “deathsantis” continuously criticizing his response to Covid.

Yet went holidaying, partying and clubbing indoors in Florida without a mask while demanding NYC businesses stayed shut and residents adhered to Covid protocols

Please explain this hypocrisy to me?

You’re forgetting that actual Americans on here are agreeing with me. And I’ve been to the US many times and met many very very stupid people. So I’d hazard a guess that I’m more informed that a huge amount of your country. There are many intelligent people there too so that helps for balance. I doubt many of those intelligent people would agree with your wacky hot takes but hey, it’s a free country. Apparently.

Why do I have to defend how someone acts during Covid? I don’t have any loyalty to an American politician and don’t act as their spokesperson. Just because I’m (rightly) calling out DeathSantis doesn’t mean I have to magically be an AOC forum defender.

Hypocrites exist on both sides of every argument. Doesn’t make RDS any less of a wrong un.

Add in that a lot of the news over there is heavily slanted and influenced politically- what the tories want to do here (the true reason for c4 privatization and trying to destroy the BBC, don’t be fooled).

You’re forgetting that there’s maybe 5 or 6 of us that live here.

Of course we will have differing views, that’s natural. Especially in such a polarized nation.

I know many Americans are dumb, you forget I’ve lived in Australia, I’ve been to Queensland, I’ve seen early man.

Just because a few folks who live here agree with you doesn’t speak for 360m people.

Yeah - no intelligent people would agree with me. I mean Elon Musk is an idiot, that’s why he took Tesla from CA to TX. Larry Ellison is also an idiot for dumping CA for a red state.

CEOs of AECOM, CBRE, Charles Schwab, DZS etc

All left CA to go to non Covid stupid states. Guess what they all have in common? All donated and voted for democrats but even they saw the nonsense in the restrictions.

Why don’t you talk about that? Why do you focus on the republican governor who held the same views as some of the democrats biggest donors?

Why don’t you call AOC out for her hypocrisy?

Just undermines your whole point that you are so blinkered??

So riddle me this Robb

If AOC was governor of Florida and she’d shut the state down like she demanded of New York.

Then she was caught partying in a state maskless while her own constituents lost jobs incomes and homes because she clearly doesn’t practice what she preached

Would you have the same level of despise for her?

Or would you stay quiet about it?

Because if it’s the latter then you are the exact type of hypocrite that undermines the left time after time

This article is about one specific story that is happening at the moment. I’m sorry if you’re so triggered that you consider it an attack on your entire political worldview that you have to pretend that me being Australian (forgetting that an Australian pretty much runs your country) disqualifies me from having a legitimate view on things there.

Here’s some advice for you - rather than pretend you haven’t been schooled here by American people with actual stats, maybe take some time to do proper research on the state of things there or better yet, do an article of your own about AOC and see how many people defend her after your manufactured outrage that people defend her over DeathSantis. Let’s see how that goes πŸ‘

I don’t have to answer anything. You’re throwing straw man after straw man at me after making many assumptions about my views. Almost like the death throes of a man who doesn’t actually have a proper rebuttal

posted on 23/4/22

You being Australian has nothing to do with anything other than I find it bizarre your obsession with a country you’ve never lived in and doesn’t affect your day to day.

You should focus your agenda on stopping the atrocities on Christmas Island. The despicable treatment of asylum seekers sent there.

You also lived in England why not focus on the inhumane decision to send asylum seekers to Rwanda from the UK.

But no, you’d rather focus on one of fifty states in the US’s education laws.

Guess it doesn’t fit your agenda, again, just like the left always does, just brush over other things…

Because I don’t think anyone on here would deny of these three things

1: a Florida governor banning s3xuak orientation discussions in school for grades 3 (age 10) and below
2: Australia sending asylum seekers to live in concentration camps on a remote island with nothing but horrible conditions and multiple reports of horrific outcomes
3: the UK sending asylum seekers to live in a third world country with wide spread diseases

Number 1 is far down the list of real conversations. But I guess you’d rather not discuss the other two for some reason…

De Santis approval ratings are very strong with the people of Florida. But obviously Floridians are super dumb and don't pay enough attention to Australian news.

1) you’re wrong on this so please, again, do your research on this

2) I’ve already talked about this and agree, it is horrific. I won’t defend it like you’re defending RDS so congrats on bringing up something which isn’t a gotcha moment for you.

3) Again, I’ve talked about this en masse in recent days


You seem bizarrely triggered that in one of my many talking points on this site I’ve finally landed my ‘doing an article’ finger at RDS. Interestingly you bring your those other two points where I’ve gone on record with my views I haven’t seen you registering any views of your own πŸ€”

Feel free to go add some please

Robb did start an article on Rwanda and condemned it.

I think the funniest thing in this exchange is that a couple of people on here genuinely think my only news source is Australian. It’s 2022. I think most of us who have a fully working brain know how to navigate the internet and get news from all sources and nations to get a fairer look at things

Erm I’m not wrong

The bill, which some opponents have called "Don't Say G@@y," was signed by DeSantis on Monday. It reads, "Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."

Grade 3 and below, but again let YOUR media educate you not facts.

I’m not defending the man.

You called him deathsantis, which I found hilarious because while Florida may have seen a slightly higher death rate, he hasn’t forced people out of jobs into poverty, losing homes etc

But again, I don’t expect you to understand because you don’t live here.

I live in CA I’ve seen the damage that Newsom has done to many blue collar workers and poor people by making them lose their jobs with his policies in the last two years.

Again, I don’t expect you to understand, how could you, you’re at Coogee tanning yourself getting ready to go to Coogee Bay Hotel to watch the United match

Yeah, read that again and it’s not grade 3 and below. It could apply to ‘any’ students that the state feels learning about these things is appropriate. It’s the small print that is key here and has been pointed out by greater minds than you.

I have a new name for someone based on her shocking court appearance..

Perjury Taylor Greene. I doubt even Dwight could defend that witch.

Sure thing Robb

Again you show zero knowledge of the American system

Those deemed not at grade 3 level due to learning difficulties will of course be kept away from it due to their adjudicated mental age.

Children at grade level of grade 4 are fine to learn about these things.

Keep talking with your lack of knowledge of our system.

Go get a pack of Winnie blues, a slab of VB and enjoy Arsenal embarrassing us.

Give it up, you can denounce my politics all you want and heck you may be right, but you’ve just shown there you don’t actually know the system here and that last comment clearly showed it.

The funny thing is De Santis is one of the most popular American governers in a state that is basically 50/50 red/blue but according to you their residents are wrong and he's done a terrible job. And lefties supporting a giant corporation having unfair tax status is also funny.

πŸ˜‚ yeah, that’s incorrect once again. The small print is there to allow any teacher in any school to argue that talking about these subjects are age inappropriate. How are you so naive to this bill? If a teacher feels that 13 or 14 year olds learning about those shouldn’t because it’s her opinion that it’s age inappropriate then she can use this small print to decide not to teach it.

You are the king of making gotcha comments that are little more than puffs of vapour in a windy field

“Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."

The wording of the bill is terrible, and I think is going to lead to all kinds of challenges in court. The “classroom instruction” part, in particular.

Some (fruitcake) parents are going to read that as teachers shouldn’t even be answering their children’s direct questions about why their male teacher has a husband rather than a wife, which I think is where the problems will probably begin.
