It will take time but if you are not preaching the message nothing will change. There are several things you can do. One of them is to badger your own party, and you do need to badger the opposition too. Perhaps you need to change party, no matter if they will win or not. Keep at it.

Jolanta replies on Oct 17, 2019:

You know I live in Canberra and it is not my fault what the politicians decide who come from all over Australia here to Canberra. Building a pipe line and taking water from Lake Berly Griffin would not matter so much as Canberra catchment area is not the lake, but I get your gist. It is disgusting what is happening, and now they have given the ok for Adani to use unlimited amounts of water for their mine too. Just disgusting, both the LNP and Labor are to blame.

The Palestinians cannot even fish in their own waters because of the Israelis army. When you talk about taking sides NOW is silly I find it absurd that you should say that. So when is it ok to say that the Israelis are occupying Palestine, when is it ok to say that they have arrested over 50 000 children, when is it ok to say that they have uprooted olive trees, when is it ok to say that Israel has not followed the Oslo accords, when is it ok to say that Israel has violated most of the UN accords, WHEN IS IT OK?

How about throat and lungs. Lungs are certainly used in donations.

1985 police dropped a bomb.

Flowerwall comments on Oct 8, 2019:

Glad you posted this for the sake of awareness. I had not known about this incident. From what I read noone was ever charged in the bombing. It's still difficult to believe this is actually true.

Jolanta replies on Oct 8, 2019:

Yes when I came across it I had difficulty to believe it to be true too but it is and so few people seem to be aware of it. I bet you that nobody teaches it in schools either.

@snytiger6 All my hair has gone totally white but I do not care. I used to colour it but it is such a hassle to do so 10 years ago I stopped and have not looked back.

Shameful from the richest country in the world.

Castlepaloma comments on Oct 7, 2019:

America is top rich in millionaire and billionaire's, not stable adverage for debt, education, freedom and health.. Example of unbalance. 1.6 billion people around the world live in "inadequate shelter". Homeless suffers the most. I have a solution for most of this problem. It's a matter of ...

Fernapple comments on Oct 7, 2019:

And think global, just how much waste of money, time, land and materials, goes on something which benefits no one, and does nothing to tackle any of our serious problems while contributing to a lot of them.

Jolanta replies on Oct 7, 2019:

It benefits the rich big time.

Bad news for the US, but good news for the world.

bingst comments on Oct 7, 2019:

How is that good news for the world? And by the way, I have no doubt that the US military could very easily convert any of their aircraft into drones, and most likely already have. Even if that meant non-autonomous remotely-controlled, it would have the same effect.

Jolanta replies on Oct 7, 2019:

Well it will make the US think twice before they start to invade some place or other that they have no business to do so.

It would be impossible to come up with a precise number like that.

there is more to this what you are seeing. There was a whole article about it, you can google it.

rogueflyer comments on Oct 7, 2019:

These job loses are nothing compared to what we are going to experience here in the US when trump's trade policies catch up with us. I wonder how those people who voted for trump will feel then.

Jolanta replies on Oct 7, 2019:

It is not only the job losses but also import and export which will now be more expensive for all. The people who voted for Trump will blame it on the democrats or something else, after all they consider themselves to be temporarily down and out, even though they may be second or third generation in that predicament.

Organ harvesting in the US.

@darthfaja I have several friends that are doctors and they say it is so. I also have friends that are on different medication and they take one pill for one thing, anther pill because they have some other problems with the first pill, etc, etc. So please do not tell me it is not true.

Well.

@darthfaja Of course they have side effects. That is why some people are constipated when they take some medicines and so on, and that is also called science.

Jolanta replies on Oct 5, 2019:

@darthfaja Well how do you know, after all when you take some medication for some ailment or other it usually has some side effect and you have to take more for that side effect, so yes I would say that they are "poisons" in a lot of medications and probably in flu vaccines too.

@Truthseeker1968 Yes, I think it is somehow different in the US. I live in Australia and I do have friends who are religious but they are still my friends and don't end the friendship although I am sure I do drive them crazy with all the things I say to them about religion and hypocrisy, and all those questions I pose that are very controversial. They still seem to want to associate with me. Funny how one country can be so different to others.
