    Reached snoring stage......sorry.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    My father was a German and had to fight on the nazi side in WW2.
    He was also 1/8 Jewish.
    I only exist because of a Russian vacuum tube.

    So RTD what do you think of that ?

    Think of the dark ages and the Goths and Vandals. I'm exploring a particular nasty inherited trait of a race of people who caused mayhem throughout Europe in the dark ages, were of Germanic origin came from the location of the later Prussian empire which were characterised by authoritarianism and superiority, which later became the Nazi party of Germany.

    We now have authoriatian, superiority espousing individuals in federal parliament some of whom we know have their roots from this group above. I'm wondering if the others do also? They certainly exhibit the same traits.
    Who would have thought it. Roger's a racist!

    Another assumption so devoid of any merit or credibility it was not worth wasting ones time on.
    Not really surprised you couldn't figure that out for yourself though.

    I think that was already well confirmed here in the first and subsequent posts.

    True George. I was deluding myself that it might have been an abberation. Most people stop when they realise they're digging a deeper hole for themselves. Roger just keeps going!

    Looks like it's easier to attack me than discuss the proposition I floated. Yes I am a fool for even thinking that there were people here who enjoyed a debate.

    [for mods -- this meant kindly but very OT]

    I'm pretty sure you're in the 'wrong' type of forum mate ~ it's right there in front of your glassies --> Austech - Australian Technology Discussion Forum

    I've not be here for long, but long enough to have observed most members have a/some technology experience/interest of one kind or another, and we share that experience/interest with others to help and/or debate various technologies.

    Like most forums, there are also 'general' or 'off-topic' areas, for members to discuss other things *outside* the main premise/focus on the forum itself -- to date, I've not seen you post anything 'as aligned' with the forum intent. Instead, if a 'new' member joined this forum today, and looked at -your- posting activity to this forum, they will see the same thing - nothing remotely technical in your posts, and it appears you have some axe to grind about Nazis....and I'm not making it up ; look at your own activity profile.

    You should be able to find some other public forum with other members wishing to debate your fixation with neo-nazism, but at risk of stating the obvious, that place isn't here ; I think you've proven that much for yourself ; move on mate =^)

    Oh Dear...the "proposition you floated" is scientifically, socially and historically absurd....ALL of us realise this.

    We have enough discussion on arguable posits to keep anyone busy...

    To quote your own words from the equally absurd Mathias Cormann thread...slightly modified to reflect what we see from you

    He looks like a Racist, he talks like a Racist, he behaves like a Racist....

    That's it from me on this matter....
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    That is the name of the site, this particular section is labeled
    Forum: General Chat
    This is our main forum. Please don't advertise or post threads which have topics related to another forum on the board.
    Hence the Jokes thread and all the others which have nothing to do with anything technical. (If I got that wrong a mod will tell us, probably)

    However your comment

    seems appropriate considering the personal attacks I'm receiving for trying to discuss the attitude and behaviour of a few members of parliament.

    I tried linking these to the background of some of them, in the hope that others would join the discussion to either prove of disprove the tenuous link I made. Instead all I got was name calling, insults and being told I got it wrong.

    I may well have it wrong, but no one has come up with anything to show why or what the right answer is.

    But nothing alters the fact that the behaviour and attitude of those four members of Parliament, Michaelia Cash, Mathias Cormann, Eric Abetz and Peter Dutton comes across very similar to that of . Born to rule, superior to the rest of us and so on.

    Roger, try to make a stronger link and people might see a room for debate.

    As pointed out out by many your posts so far have nothing but weak assumptions without much logic behind. Usually posts like these have no food for debating accept name calling.

    I am also would be interested to know your real age. "Old enough" didn't cut for me.

    Thanks, but I think I'm pissing into the wind with this one, I'll give it away.

    I'm a well retired mature age science graduate with an original background in electronics. I refrain from commenting in the 'electronics' forums because I've been out of that area for many years and am rusty, however I do shudder at some of the completely incorrect statements made by some, but am not sufficiently current to offer a completely correct answer.

    However thanks for the civil reply.

    OK Here is a discussion of your proposal:

    My uncle was a Nuclear Physicist. Did I inherit his intelligence?...Nope. Why you ask?

    Because he had no blood ties to me at all. He was an outsider who married my father's sister.

    To say someone's uncle, great uncle, grandfather or whatever can magically endow you with the same characteristics even though you likely have no blood/genetic link is a tad absurd.
