Seriously, what's wrong with that? A leader might last 10 years, a party creed which leaders tend to abide by may last for hundreds of years. The core values are more important than one person.

Holy shit win 'You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lentern again.'

None of the other fans are any more loud than when I bought it. My computer is off the ground, I don't have carpet, no pets...The lowest risk of dust buildup really. Just saying. We had (and still have) a dell we didn't clean for 4 or 5 years and even though you were afraid it'd blow up every...

Money doesn't equate to happiness, first of all. Secondly, I said it was debatable. Sure, we get more money, we might be better off. BUT. We're just as worse off monetarily for that. The government's tax receipts don't proportionately increase (that is, to offset the loss of tax receipts due...

For a second, let me back down on what I just said. Say they do generate economic activity. This doesn't necessarily make us better off.

This is heavily debatable. I'm not going to go into details, but this isn't a fact. Of course, depends what tax rates you refer to.

Laziness oughtn't be an excuse for refusing to find a comeback in an argument

The debate continues. We could only afford those tax cuts because of the mining boom. They placed us in worse position in 08 with the downturn in activity than we otherwise would have had.

Fine. Allow me to concede that point, purely because you're lucky I'm four years younger than you. You haven't rebutted my argument over Keating's good economic policies versus Howard's bad ones. It contradicts your earlier thesis, basically that: 'Labor gets into power, takes the credit for...

Well another example, as I've already brought up, was Howard's successive tax payments which were in reality unsustainable during his decade-long term. Sure, you didn't notice any impact on the economy, but that doesn't mean they were a good policy, even though it shut up a lot of greedy voters...

I recall either Howard or Costello crediting Keating following their defeat in 2007. Not before it though. Politics is a nasty game.

What of the Howard government's taking credit for Keating's labour market policies and such? Howard did fuck all, really. There was the GST and...What else? for 11 years in power, too. AND the tax cuts which are always poor policy, used for grabbing votes (which he sadly managed to pull off...

A $10,000 payment for every stay at home mother, was it? Yeah, SURE Abbot would do wonders for the economy. You keep telling yourself that.

The insulation scheme wouldn't have been bungled if it wasn't rushed; and the justification for rushing it was economic stimulus. Similar deal with education; Rudd obviously now realises the problems with it, but it was a sacrifice he was willing to make in order to help the economy. The scale...

Thanks yall. I haven't had the time to have a decent look at how it operates when it's on; but I know the fan starts spinning a lot more, if not starts from complete stoppage, when it finally manages to run the 3d graphics. A stack of dust is plausible, and I aim to clean it out soon...Of...

Abbott's credibility as a leader is severely damaged by his hot-heatedness. What about that thing he said a week or two ago about not telling the truth? Hardly the wisest thing to say. We need a leader who isn't going to make rash decisions.

Labor. Why are so many people swing voters? Why don't you just PICK A GOD DAMN PARTY ALREADY. Even with the odd brilliant/shitty leader, shouldn't generally be enough to change your mind. Parties are based on ideologies, people should realise this and vote accordingly.

No, nothing in my computer is overclocked. I know little about this, but intuitively it seems more likely a hardware problem. The card's fan makes a certain buzzing sound when it's showing 3d graphics, and when it struggles I've noticed it doesn't buzz.

Yeah I dunno where I'm meant to post this exactly, hopefully this is alright. I've already received advice from friends about this, but I figured no harm in asking for more. I've had a DIY-assembled comp (with help of a friend) for close to six months. My graphics card, an ATI radeon 5570, is...

Not much of a veil at all, really. Religion should be criticised, the Pope has made a few stupid decisions in his relatively short time in charge. Catholicism needs to wake up to the 21st century, it seems they got stuck a few hundred years ago. If yall believe in God, then why should the...
