    So yes, I do see Aussie going downhill, I've seen it for several years, and I believe that trend will continue.
    I ain't gonna start no war, I'll leave that to the people in C.A., but no,.... right wing extremists will be the least of our worries in Aussie, I'll just say that our problems will arise from the exact opposite side of the "Political Spectrum".
    There are those on this Forum who are EXCELLENT with "figures", I'm not one of them, but if they're around in 5-6 years time, to compare now & then, well then, whether I'm right or wrong, "the proof will be in the pudding"!

    I wonder what you mean by unsustainable Pickles. We live in a finite world, where the unfitted exploitation of finite resources will lead to their exhaustion.
    ASIO is warning of a new cohort of Terrorists emerging. I wonder who they might be.
    Cheers, Billy.

    it won't worry you or me pickles as much as it could our kids and grandkids..

    5 or 6 years isn't the time scale it is closer to 20 to 30 IMHO

    the far right and the far left are equally dangerous as either will isolate the other, the big issue is how many are involved in the polarisation as that will determine the damage done.

    a zealot of any persuasion is a dangerous thing IMHO

    This is a picture of an actual right wing zealot from the US. He drove his truck through a peaceful protest then fired shots in the air. Was he arrested? No, because the people he injured weren't white right wing Americans.

    The right wing are to be feared because they stop at nothing to hurt other people. They are barking mad and extremely dangerous when aroused.

    war is nothing but organised murder of young man to bring the world back to life from economic crisis.
    this is the case for WWII and WWI. even the falkland war.
    it seems time has come again where such organized killing is needed to correct the overproduction.....
    I just hope Australia can somehow stay away from this mess

    How about this, Trump said he would only accept the result of the election if he won, what will happen if he loses the next one or even if he wins it will he go when his term is up?
    In my opinion the man doesn't care about the people or the country he is a narcissist that is in it for his own glory and he will do whatever it takes to stay there and that means feeding the fears of the far right.

    That is a worry for many people. But I would like to have faith in the US Congress, to keep Mr Trump on the straight and narrow. That , and the fact I think most of middle America are level headed , and smart enough not to let their country be hi jacked by a radical few.

    I'm not so sure about that. After all, 46% of Americans couldn't even be bothered to vote, so that apathy doesn't inspire much faith in Americans to make wise choices. They've already let the radical few take over.

    Nope....that is not going to happen......but it's what a few "activists" would like to have you believe.
    I agree with Bob here.
    Who knows what Mr Trump will do, but where He won this election was "middle America", who thought they were being neglected by the Washington "Set". The Clintons have been there for 30yrs+. Many talk in a negative fashion about Trumps business dealings/ wealth etc, & maybe rightly so, but the Clintons ain't squeaky clean either. Who knows what goes on in the corridors of the Pentagon.
    Trump is only "one",...there will be many many others influencing where Trump & America go from here.

    Clinton got 2.6 million more votes than Trump, and only 36% of votes, so he doesn't have a majority mandate for anything.
