    Huh?

    This is the story of so many forums. I like to think that all the trolls are just one wanker talking to himself.

    First time brewing need help

    How is scorching going to happen. It's a kit. You mix the ingredients and pitch the yeast.

    Just go for it pch. Forge ahead. Write down notes on everything you do and if you want to change anything you can change the next one.

    No, it shouldn't be that way. But you can still use it. Don't worry if it does not dissolve completely, the yeast will still eat it. Good luck

    This poll, if I'm reading it correctly, shows 54%. Does he still have the same support? https://www.statista.com/statistics/1184428/presidential-election-exit-polls-share-votes-income-us/

    Nice straw man you've built there. Bageant's rednecks voted Republican and he set out to discover why. That is what his writing was all about. On the separate point that you have made, it comes as no surprise that Trump gets most of his support from the upper middle class. It not that they...

    I do not know how arrogant Bageant was, I never met him. But as you point out, he was correct to say that the Left can't talk.

    Please don't be too offended. The whole quote goes 'The Right can't write and the Left can't talk'. The examples you gave show that the Right can't write, although I would add Ayn Rand. The quote goes to Joe Bageant from his excellent collection of blog posts "Deer Hunting With Jesus". Which I...

    Yes, yes, yes. Writers festivals attract a lefty audience because everyone knows the Right can't write. If right-wing writers ever became successful they would dominate the festivals and these festivals would retain gov funding.

    Of course, you are correct. And so am I. Whether something is left or right depends entirely on where you are standing. https://www.politicalcompass.org/ Take the test I stand in the deep south/west corner. The entire ABC is a disgraceful, rabid right wing media manipulator.

    There is plenty of right wing bias in ABC shows like QandA, The Drum, Landline, The Business etc.

    My opinion of the ABC is that it has gone soft. I watch most of my news on YouTube and and while GB News might push a right view and DW might push a left view, the ABC has moved to a very soft middle ground. Instead of hard-hitting left/right journalism you are more likely to see the umpteenth...

    No jest. Read it again. I wrote that it would be easy to impose a naval blockade. It would certainly not be easy to maintain one.

    FWIW I think that China will impose a naval blockade on Taiwan while it seizes control, which would not be that hard. It would then be a matter for the US to decide if it wants to use military force to disrupt the blockade, opening up a wider conflict. One thing we know for certain is that the...

    I'm just glad that Keating has got a lot of people talking about the issues in front of us.
