Just to put this to rest. "Try and understand it" is conjugated in the imperative mood, it is therefore a directive. It actually means "make the effort to understand it". Start here:

Then go here:

Or look here:

If you still don't understand it after that, THEN you can post on the internet. No excuses.

There are two posts on this page which have been being actively promoted recently that I am aware have attracted quite a number of reactions and comments. I am more interested in your Shares than your comments, thank you very much.

Nothing has been reported to me as moderator so I have not read all of the comments and I have not taken any action, however I have skimmed some pretty negative stuff. Dammit, I always forget to turn the comments off. Anyway I recommend that you ignore the comments.

I'm not going to shut you down for contradicting the post. But somehow it seems that it's the "NO" campaign that's being divisive here. If you don't want to join in, ignore it and move on. Don't deface it on your way by and spoil the fun for everybody else.

Please be assured that I am monitoring for moderation alerts. Going forward comments will be restricted to Followers.

Hi I'm Chris and I'm not a registered campaigner in this year's Voice Referend… Chris Bell needs your support for Play more John Farnham on TV (seriously)...

Official notice from the NSW government. Rally from 8pm. Shame about the weather.

"Sydney Opera House sails illuminated in solidarity with Ukraine"

The Sydney Opera House sails are set to be illuminated yellow and blue for the next week.

Sydney Opera House lights up for Ukraine.

"Sydney Opera House to be lit up with Ukraine’s colours as a ‘very strong message’ | news.com.au" https://www.news.com.au/national/sydney-opera-house-to-be-lit-up-with-ukraines-colours-as-a-very-strong-message/video/e932390e32f7f8406c0b7a048db351dd

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he will be with Premier Dominic Perrottet at the Opera House as it lights up with Ukraine’s colours. “Australia will stand with Ukraine, and tonight I'll be standing with the New South Wales Premier as we light up the Opera House in Ukraine's colours," Mr Morri...

The people of Sydney need to show their solidarity with Ukraine and demand stronger action from our federal government and its allies. Major cities around the world are lighting monuments with the colours of the Ukrainian flag while our government dithers on taking firm action against Russian interests, and once again fails to lead by example. If it was good enough to light up the Sydney Opera House for a horse race, then it should already be lit up in blue and gold - for as long as it takes. Other parts of the city should also be highlighted. Australian Ukrainians should be encouraged to gather at the focal point of our cities where they can attract the most international attention, and we should be there to support them. And that support should be reflected in our governments' actions.

94 signatures are still needed! Show solidarity with Ukraine by lighting Sydney's landmarks

Maybe the old closet homosexual will finally give up now and retire into the safety of the Toaster.

Veteran broadcaster Alan Jones reveals he has been dumped from his prime time program on Sky News. Jones was offered an alternative weekly slot on a streaming platform, which he declined.

I wonder how many of you know this story:

https://www.cxnetwork.com.au/beams-and-balls-lighting-protest-at-sydney-opera-house/

The Anonymous Lighting Warriors were key to disrupting the Everest barrier draw projections in 2018. They acted of their own initiative.

The Daily Telegraph published photoshopped images of the projections the next day largely because of what these guys did. Pretty fake news.

Dubbed the ‘Anonymous Lighting Warriors’, two stage lighting professionals took on the challenge and used five Chauvet Rogue R2 Beam light cannons to disrupt a controversial projection promotion of a horse race on the sails of the Sydney Opera House Tuesday 9 October. Over 1,000 protestors crowd...

Awesome to see such a well-coordinated and COVID-safe today.

While I'm happy to see BLM protests proceed in Sydney, I can't agree with the protests in Victoria. Or the UK for that matter. Black deaths in custody is an issue that continues throughout the pandemic, whereas COVID is about common sense. It's disturbing that people should mobilise over an issue such as this.
