Re: People Who Claim They are Right about Things They Know Nothing About

Last weekend just reinforced how much my Dad is like that. I admit, I didn't listen to much of the debates that happened between him and Mum on stuff, but he is a long-time supporter of the Coalition (who are not too dissimilar to the American Republican Party).

The thing with the two big Aussie political parties is that the Coalition (which is the combination of the Liberal Party and the National Party) is the party who try to cut down on public works and social support allowances to save money, while the Labour Party try to get public works done and try to support the lower income parts of society. If there is not a regular trade-off, Labour will spend too much, and the Libs will let everything fall into ruin because they won't put the money out to fix it.

I also wonder about his claim that people hated Malcom Turnbull's ousting of Tony Abbott, because frankly the Libs would have lost the election with Abbott in charge, plus I think Labour supporters were glad to get rid of Abbott. I for one may have wished Turnbull didn't get back as PM, but he's better than Abbott.

Dad is also a bit of a climate change denier, but he tends be of the stance that current climate change is a natural occurrence, not exacerbated by human-caused pollution, which I think is a rather stupid line of thinking in reflect to our religious beliefs, which state that humans are gradually getting worse.

The worst from him however tends to be the personal stuff, like saying that Mum did stuff while they were married that were really things he, or his family did (and frankly his mother and sister were not the best of in-laws to Mum).

The sad thing is, he still wants to think there's a chance he and Mum could get back together, but Mum has become ferociously independent since their divorce, so she will never consider such a thing.
