Default Re: want to raise your blood pressure?

Funny, I lost my fm transmitter in the work car and ended up on 94.3fm yesterday. No idea what the station is but it was seemingly a live house of representatives feed.
It was so sad to think these people that act like children, booing eachother, talkin over eachother, being totally irrelevant, just generally acting like brats, run our country.
Any real debates or conversations in the real world, with people acting like that, would turn physical very quickly. Suppose its lucky for them they dont live in the real world.
I also wish i knew the formula to stringing together 5-10 minutes of dialogue without actually saying anything.

I enjoy excerpts from Budget Estimates Committee and other inquiries.
Nobody ever answers yes or no to a direct question.
Is your name Bill Smith? Well the answer is not that simple senator....
Most recent one was the AFP being grilled over the released illegal detainees.
They were squirming with no answers, not that it's their fault these murders, rapist criminals were released in the first place.
But that's another subject.

The Taiwanese parliament is the one to watch.
It's funny.

Imagine how much worse it would be if the candidates we DIDN'T vote in were there! Lesser of two evils.

Still, I agree, most of them are a disgrace the way they act. Kindergarten kids would make better role models than most of them.

Yes, they carry on like spoiled schoolboy brats. A total embarrassment to the country.

They should just call it Dorothy Dixer time. And the other half is just slagging each other off. It can be funny as **** though but mostly annoying

The most annoying ones are when they repeatably ask the same question but change the name of the electorate

I find it all amusing that politicians behave in this manner, nothing like a bit of entertainment & ridicule, mind you some of the politicians actually do deserve the ridicule they get from others.
cheers.
