Do come to Australia, land of opportunity.
That’s opportunity to consume, it’s why we need you -
Buy six high powered rifles, we are pleased you can help;
It's a gesture of appreciation anyone can do.

Plan on doing a little hunting Dave? The color of the type makes me a little concerned about blood letting. As for the message I hear you and second the motion money and an economy based on consumption is certainly built upon the idea of carpe diem and damn tomorrow. Nicely done
Can't argue with that. Soren. Many thanks.
PS: where exactly are you situated in case the AFP wish to interview you?😨
Hiding incognito in the back hills of Brazil under sunglasses and a beard with a straw hat
Sounds about right - following a not very grand tradition then......
Che Guevara, Josef Mengele, D.B. Cooper take your pick
And many more... Still having undergone rehab and given services to MPS......
Sorry Dave my response to this poem is out of isolated ignorance. Don't listen to news, don't watch TV don't do social media and was unaware until someone from the site mentioned the core of your poem. Now it makes more sense and I feel bad about my first response. I read your comment and about hearing the news but since I hadn't it made no sense. A very sad situation in a sad world
Perfectly understandable, Soren (and may I just add that given your circumstances described here, your responses are a credit to your improvisational skills) Your situation certainly has something to be admired; there are not a few times when I wish I could be relieved from the surrounding babel.
Imagine being on the list, but in the gun club.
It sort of beggars belief.
Western countries give too many rights to individuals, this being one of them.
Lunatics running the asylum.
Precisely so - lives in suburbia , but licenced to own, so he could go hunting....all perfectly legal...
Message delivers strong as ever my friend. Sounds like the USA…except with guns we be snorting Angel Dust over here! 💯 Well done on this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks Tristan. Appears reminiscent of your place, one instance of which has been completely knocked out of the news cycle here.
Keep your head down.....
Very interesting with the dark humor.
More deep and bitter irony, I think.
How's that Summer going there?!
Something’s afoot like it was in ‘63, among other dates of note.
They are gunna review the gun laws? What a joke!
Absolutely Terrible. Even more so when Children involved.
Especially when anyone is involved. You mean, surely, when anyone is killed or maimed with an instrument the sole function of which is to kill and maim.
Yes Dave, so sad. Why do they do it!!!
Andy
Come on Andy - you can go just a teensy bit deeper than that, can't you?
Of course I can Dave. I just do not understand why people kill others like this, I have been brought up to respect all people no matter what religion, ethnicity, sex or whatever else may be different from me, and I have been like that all my life. These people that kill others because of their differences have just not been brought up properly. Nowadays respect has just gone. Bring back respect and love for all and we would have a wonderful world.
Andy
Right now I think I have learnt a valuable lesson with respect to my interactions at MPS Andy, viz:
It is not obligatory or even possible to respond positively to every comment received.
In such instances the best option may well be to remain silent – as here.
A valuable lesson it took too long to learn, but thanks anyway.
👍🍷🍺
Irony, Andy.
