    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    I fucking hate "out the back door" and the over the shoulder thumb move. It just sounds (and looks) so rehearsed. He's not a very convincing puppet.

    i want to have a wedding :(

    I don't want to get married for a long long long long long time. The wedding part seems like a lot of fun though...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Yes but New York is also bordered by Newark and all along the East Coast there are a large number of smaller cities that help keep Manhattan from sinking under too many people :p Also, I would move to Wollongong in a second if there was better public transport and more job opportunities...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    That would be the best idea they've had in ages. It's just shitty because there's the potential for a few towns, all around Australia, to be built up into larger cities but state governments are so city-centric that they just keep fucking it up. I hate all government at the moment, both of the...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    That's possible. I just don't see how it's going to fix housing woes right now. Nor do I understand why it's necessary. I'd much prefer that they put more money into coastal towns like Newcastle or Wollongong, built them up to be mid-size cities and then ta dah you don't have so many people...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Okay, misread your post, reposting now. *implementation :p It's not though. Larger scale would work but right now it's not. Theoretically yes, in practice no. Also, it needs to be on a larger scale than is being done now. I don't get why zimmerman is like ... lets leave it all for developers...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Did I say that? No. Just that currently the push for high density housing in my area isn't working as well as you had hoped. You pushed forward a theory, I said how it was working in my area. Ta dah. Sure, in that instance that will happen but that won't be for quite awhile yet and a lot of...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    I've been in them... They have a lot of open houses and the quality is not great especially since they build them in a micro second. There's also nothing being done to help infrastructure in the area. Which is currently making traffic issues a lot worse. I don't think that's going to...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    That's what is currently happening in Kur-Ring-Gai where I live. It's really great. Frank Sartor is currently overriding every council decision to allow shoddily built apartment complexes pop up wherever without worrying about infrastructure like better roads, public transport, etc. Not only...

    Who is going to vote liberal?

    So they're both rich and they're both pandying to those without money... Yeah that really makes me want to vote for either of them. However, like Nolan, I live in one of the safest Liberal seats and it's pretty much not worth voting. EDIT: The "it's" doesn't exist thing from the previous...

    Nanowrimo - Writing. Anyone doing it?

    I'm working on a novella that I planned out this semester for a class. It's sort of cheating because I've been working on the idea for three months but eh, I doubt I'd ever finish it if it weren't for NaNo.

    Nanowrimo - Writing. Anyone doing it?

    Got 4000 words at the moment. So I can afford to take the weekend off :P I'll probably falter later on but it's full steam ahead right now. It's a great procrasinator.

    Sex before marriage, would you or wouldn't you?

    The best you have to offer is an inch around your vadge? That really shows what an awesome and uniquely special person you are.

    Sex before marriage, would you or wouldn't you?

    Why admire people? OOOh wow I waited... so what? What's so wonderful about saving sex for someone? I've never heard a cohesive argument that didn't involve religion.

    What did you just buy NOW thread?

    You're getting THE shoes? Oh my God I'm so jealous of you right now. One day I'll save enough money to justify the purchase.
