ha ha, that's very funny, having the opposite of everything I had. How about privatisation under a gift criteria (the hume highway would be sold to macquarie bank for $1 million dollars, the royal national park for a couple of million maybe to that triguboff fellow), after all, what business...

pretty much!!!

SAM predicted 92.50, I got 92.15. SAM was on the ball this year.

Economy - Nationalisation of the Commonwealth Bank, QANTAS, Telstra. - Buy back the farm - nationalise the mineral resources industry. - Overturn the last 23 years of neo-liberal reforms Have a mixed economy with strong emphasis on social well-being and community, instead of the Blair-ite...

I think the closest the world has seen of a truly 'communist' society are the anarchist communities in Spain during the Civil War. They were crushed by the fascists and the Soviets, go figure.

Rudd has no option but to use exaggerated hyperbole to attack the Govt on grounds of economic fairness. There is little, except for some fixing up around the edges, that he can do to make the economy more 'fair, just or equitable'. Thus, he descends into hyperbole, rightfully criticising the...

There are advantages in pushrods. More compact design, no ohc so lower center of gravity, costs less, pushrods tends to deliver more low-down torque. I think the honda jazz even has pushrods. Look at ford's boss V8. It is an ohc design, but has a crappily undersquare bore/stroke ratio, and can't...

In a more sane world, rumsfeld, cheney et al would be trialled for war crimes. It is amazing how such brazen criminals and murderers can be afforded such respect in a supposedly 'civilised' country. It is depressing, to say the least.

Gleichschaltung all over again

I discovered the 180km/h limiter in my Corolla on an undisclosed highway. At 180km/h it reaches the limiter in 4th, and I calculated that it could theoretically reach 210km/h at 7500 rpm in 5th. I think the drag co-efficient might have something to say about that though...

the evo would annihilate the aurion, on the track and in a straight line - it's actual power is closer to 230kw, and its 4wd means it's very quick off the line. The Aurion weighs like 1630kg. It wouldn't be close by any means. Also, 300+kw is only a few tweaks away. Personally, I love Evos...

Wow. that's a pretty insane first car. I'd be shit scared of the engine blowing or something, and of servicing costs in general. I bet you'd be f***en proud though, an R32 GTR as your first car!!! Props to you, especially for working your arse off for it. I also worked for years to save for my...

Re: Economics Marathon - The 2006 Version Variations in economic development across countries can be caused by: - differences in natural resource availability: Countries with greater access to natural resources such as oil, minerals, etc (eg, Australia) are at an advantage in terms of Economic...

Hmm, japanese classics first: FD RX7, JZA80 Supra RZ, R32-4 GTR (the replacement won't be like the old one in spirit, I reckon) euro classics: 993 Carrera, BMW M1, Merc 190E 2.5-16 EvolutionII, E30 BMW M3 2.5 US: cadillac eldorado convertible of the mid-60s

Is this something you look forward to?

Do i disagree with you? Obviously. Do i disagree with your right to speech? no. You are simply inventing that claim. Stop side-stepping the issue. I don't agree with the deportation of ANY religous group, in contrast to you. I respect the right of Christains to believe in Jesus, and Muslims to...

Captain Gh3y, they may not be affected by it, but that is what their aim is - the expulsion of Westerners from Arab lands. I don't agree with their means, as does any sane person, but it is clear WHY they do what they do. Al Qaeda was founded on that mission - to get rid of the infidels after...

Will I stand up for democracy, free speech, etc? Yes. Will I support the deportation of a particular religous group? No. Will you provide evidence to show that 'most of them hate us'? The values 'i got for being born here' include religous freedom, pluralism and inclusiveness. Just because i...

bshoc, you are not a realist, you are a racist fanatic. Terrorist acts by Islamic fundamentalists are not the result of a deep hatred of Western values, they are a deplorable but predictable response to Western imperialism, and indeed, terrorism. Your anti-Muslim rhetoric sounds like Hitler's...

Israel accounts for 0.1% of global population, yet it recieves roughly one third of US foreign aid. Of that aid to Israel, 2/3 is miltary aid. So about 20% of total US foreign aid is military aid to Israel. It shows where their priorities lie. 33% of total US foreign aid is not a minor percentage.
