An ozpolitics get together.
Jan 25th, 2015 at 7:25pm
 
Is there any interest in an ozpolitics meet up.

I'm happy to organise one in Sydney. Would love to have some of these discussions over a beer. Some of my best mates are right wingers, not all of them compassionate liberals.

I'd certainly make my way to Adelaide if Longy was organising one.

Great idea.

Can't get the feeling heads would roll though Tongue

Like discussing feminism with feminists - a drink and discussion over a beer gets both sides, deeply immured in theory, to see that the other is human after all, and allows both sides to see that the personal injury sustained by both sides means that you simply cannot approach real issues in a broad scattergun way.

Sydney would be OK....  just not on a weekend when I'm working - and I love Guinness, so an Irish bar is fine...

Ha ha - we could try out the George Street Murder Mile..... at 2 am....

Well that kind of cruels the idea.

I've always found you rational, freedriver, so what is your major concern?

Is it the mechanic?

If he turns up, I'm not the judge of character I thought I was.

We get to Sydney a couple of times a year, so if you do decide to meet and we're there, I'd be up for it.

I think it's a great idea. Not sure why Freediver is concerned, but I'd like to know why before I commit to this.

In the absence of an argument, I'm all for it.

I've attended a couple of PA things like this.  I am a tad ambivalent  about them, and especially what comes out of them. I think the negatives outweigh the positives,  because inevitably, it encourages real life tribalism at least, and, at worst, provides the idiots with an ideal stalking environment.   SSSF used to refer to them as 'Puds' and while it was explained to me, I never really understood the term.

I smile when I reminisce about one such PA meet which occurred.   I did not go....but I really was tempted to send one of my mates.  I'm not a midget by any means, but this guy was of Hulk proportion.  He was ready to go....I had briefed him  on all the questions he was likely to have to deal with.........but I chickened out.  It would have been a great laugh.......after the event.

How about we run of the back of one of these nights.

Pick a date when you'll be in Sydney and I'll promote it as best I can.
