Since china started it, let's be honest... that group of pop singers during the closing ceremony looked like the Chinese version of "Hi 5" and their more traditional singers, seemed to be mimicking the sounds of torturous whining which is heard from outside any state-run "re-education through...

If I were to point to something which might be the main cause of poverty... other than the obvious 'lack of resources' thing, I'd probably say war and poverty form a bit of a self-referential mobius strip.

the funnier thing is that it doesn't matter if you are colourblind...

I'm far from someone to advocate any of that so don't even try to attribute it to me. My point to spiny norman is that obviously we'd like to be able to support all of our vital services but often this is unable to be the case and we have to give up one thing for another. Privatising our...

Oh yeah we just fund them all perfectly woo!

hey, china's still cool! P.S. Boris is an amazing character.

That's not really the argument for privatisation in this case at all... It's more that the government cannot afford the upgrades, is not in the position to borrow the significant amounts of money they need to do so and in keeping these they will have to sacrafice other projects which are far...

I don't like them so far...

I don't necessarily mean pork barrelling/things which really only serve to try and get re-elected. I mean things such as the M4 East extension and the western metro rail line. Labor won't be able to blame the libs if they can't fund them (since they really shot themselves in the foot) but if...

Barry O'Farrell openly admitted it was in a sense politics. He doesn't think the gains from privatization are worth it considering that he thinks the ALP will merely squander the money from it to help them get re-elected so that they can then continue to mismanage NSW. If you think that: a) The...

Idk I think not being able to fund a bunch of infrastructure projects is more likely to mean the public won't vote for the ALP than the party its self being in a muck... the party has always been rather dishevelled. I don't think it's necessarily a bad decision politically, though as far as the...

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24238131-2,00.html Sounds good!

but... it's like saying Wrench v Multi-grips v Hammer.... the last one serves a different function.

Maybe? Either way I'd say he sees it as more important to get elected than to do something to help Iemma get himself (and the state) out of the mess - Even if this means the privatisation will never occur.

O'Farrell will privatise electricity. He believes the funds of electricity privatisation will be squandered by Iemma. He is not against electricity privatisation, he is against wasting more money on a government that in his opinion has proven its self incompitent.

Photoshop and ... illustrator are completely different types of programs ? :/

basically without the funding from privatisation etc iemma's going to be in utter deep shit come election time.

But why don't we want to be killed painlessly? Why would we be fearful? The point seems to be that we value our lives and thus do not want them to be taken away. By that same token could we not value/respect the dead or value sex as something to only be between two humans? Someone may be fearful...

What harm comes from killing someone without them feeling pain? There's more to these things than just pain.

TBH I often don't see what they are more than rough guides... It may... ultimately be a fallacy, but I don't see what's wrong with going off the best information we have available.
