depends what eco stands for; ecological terrorist, well yeah anything terrorizing the ecological movement is good-economical terrorist, well they seemed to have wasted a lot of money on whales, but i guess what you compare to determines how terrorizing

This is so funny. You know what I reckon they should do next-retail in Australia condoms and pill packages with pictures of babies on them.

Well now we know where that carbon tax can be directed-or maybe just offering jobs to the unemployed, with transfer costs added as bonus could help out-seeing we are talking about cost for one thing, and cletus is suggesting redirecting costs for another.

(read all the comments? sameolesameole)BUT. Gillard stating this is going to be costly and will cost the tax payer is pathetic. Wong didnt live any wiggling inches in her financial huh? Not even enough to send a boat just a little south of the coast line? Boy Japan are good with their people's well-being! They can send boats all the way down there. Australia is so stingy its whinging about sending one little boat with a bit of gasoline and a couple of people on board down to pick up some Australians-who obviously have the Australian public in mind?!?! That certainly is one tight financer. No defence costs involved whatsoever? And I can hear it now-to cover this cost there will be ANOTHER tax!

Well if this is designed to drop the cost of water, and allow all people a free(tax covered) shower, one per day, I think it is a good idea. The carbon tax might as well go to reducing gases! I wonder which foreigners she was referring to?

mnnnn, that is interesting heda. Open slather referring to what? Fishing industry there by Japan and the rest of Asia? Yeah open slather would be a good way to describe it, and would put my boundaries up. And Watsons bullshit politics I could easily agree with. Australia is so quick to just cut off any of it's citizens, responsibility or care for. And the politicians especially. Australian politicians are so quick to defend the rest of the world, and rub it in every dinkum vegie kids face, yet claim you areAustralian and youll have to pay to prove it first and then theyll just think of you as baggage.And seeing Im Australian, Im enjoying saying that!

yes I agree Foxie, thank God it wasnt Oklahoma. At least the Japanese are better at sensing the situation out. In stead of jumping to a righteous front. WA is so isolated a situation and whoever is running their propaganda machine there obviously feeds the SS. Youd have to realize that like in AMerica the econmic situation is pushing everyone to their limit. Tensions are rising along with free time. As for Japan dropping a bomb there-you arent talking about the casino are you? You know a economical bomb.

No cleo Im taking it up with you as you quoted it as if it is some development that the Australian government has gone against the votes of the Australian public when you quote Mr Petterfy's words as going against an election promise-again I say you have no idea about Australian politics. Which by the way are relevant here to this discussion

bwhahahaha-cleo your posting that word'pre-election promise' like it means something. Obviously you havent been following Australian politics. I hope they drop the 3 of them off at the nearest stop-over, that is the Antartic-consider it avoiding confrontation.

maybe they mean discreet ripoffs? But yeah I agree the prices at Aeon are alright. Maybe their talking about oil?

wow! confusing; when one paragragh says "authentic self" and the next paragraph pushes "experiences of others and worlds beyond their own immediate family and culture". And surely the emphasis on literacy and numeracy would allow individuals who are interested, to technologies. Or perhaps the suggestion is that future schools and education can be revolutionized around technology, which would completely transform the need for a building? I would have liked to seen the suggestion that the revolutionized school to not TEACH interaction, but facilitate the community center-like sports or music-where children can participate and with experience, develope their social skills. I believe that a future school will need the revolution of including parents in the educational process. Like english speaking mothers helping out with english classes, surely the local mothers can participate in some way, besides being sidelined to pta.

of course it would be better without the intervention, I just wish the banks would stop knocking back loan applications if it doesnt fit the local govts agenda of enterprise, it doesnt matter how much evidence you provide. this sort of protectionism, and controlled development weakens initiative, and flounders on misguided businesses

well I admit my persecution is a mental one, and Im rather fortunate that that is all it is. I especially have rather a mental barrier set in place, but there are others who dont, and have been/are affected by this argument you form. What do you mean please anyway, you do not know me, how can you make judgement? It is not China here, where we have to defend ourselves to the governments attitude that children and love is to be limited. And in fact your line of argument makes me wonder if the poor Chinese women who are limited in being a mother,-and anybody else- havent bought into your argument about giving their children to a gay couple. And so I hope this couple can deal with their situation that they are satisfied, but this tangent about education and children that always forms around this homosexual topic is only ever used to support the homosexual case, with no thought for the subject you are talking about-children, and education. Oh and you are completely wrong about Australia-Australians are very open to gay couples from my knowledge. But you may be being factual with your claim,endemic is rather a big word, but it sounds as if you arent Australian, so take it from an Australian, Australia is very accepting of gay couples- the finance minister is one for example.

"What have I stated as the truth? I never said 'all', I said 'countless heterosexual couples'. Should I have given a percentage, or travelled around the world and interviewed all the neglectful/abusive heterosexual parents? No, it's impossible. In that case, the word 'countless' will suffice. I can't believe I'm having to explain this to someone"
oginome this part of your argument just shows me how much you like to cross your t's and dot your i's-pedantic if you will. You zone in on one part of my wording without addressing what I was saying. You didnt state it as truth but you suggested it. Same with this highflying idea in this quote. And your line here about "cant believe Im having to explain this...", is just like the way you use the word silly. It is a superior complex that makes you say that. Just because you use the relative harmelss word 'silly', the way you have used it, you might as well have been saying....well lets see, you probably dont like the f word, but that is how you use that word silly. So silly you.
