It's happened enough times in human history to not discount it still happening anywhere. We didn't get to the top of the food chain by using our intelligence to be nice. As someone said on the Ken Burns Vietnam documentary. We're all natural born killers, and Military Service is just finishing school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The richest countries in the world can't eradicate all poverty. So I guess that should be the reason a General Election will never again be held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly ridiculous and totally unbelievable thing to say, though I guess there are some out there stupid enough to believe it. Poverty is not going away here, at least not for a very long time and probably never. True. But someone once promised everyone who voted for him would "all be millionaires' in 6 months". And plenty believed it; or thought they'd get something better for nothing. It's like when those beauty contestants say they want to work for 'world peace, reduce poverty and children's well being" - everyone knows they ain't really got a clue and are more interested in the next designer handbag of whatever. Politicians just keep proving that you can promise anything and then just never deliver and get away with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree totally but sorry to bore you with the usual fact that politician who don't keep up with their promise will have to face the wrath of the people. On the other hand......(you know the rest).

"Govt pledges to eradicate poverty ahead of general election" I think he refers to any of the "elite" who may feel they are not already rich enough? Otherwise, despite my feelings, he is a comedian after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
