Of course it doesn't seem likely.
But if the world could start moving towards that (which i think asia is trying to push for), we will end up with a more efficient and strong global economy, and the distribution of wealth will no longer fall along the borders of nations.

As not-that-bright is saying, what you believe to be free trade is hardly as free as the term suggests. To tell the truth, trade liberalisation in many industries may well be of benefit to all (those in the developing countries in particular), yet we cannot know this till there is a global shift away from preferential networks that reinforce the protectionist nature of many developed economies to the detriment of those they are pressuring to structurally 'reform'.

Of course, there are some things that should never be liberalised in their entirety... Education and health services, for example.

hmmmm ok.

hmmmm ok.

Make sure that you don't just accept a supposedly more knowledgeable response... Keep on reading so that you are able to continue questioning both your own position and that of those who are not of a similar frame of mind.

Free Trade= Globalisation= Greater divide between the RICH & Poor= BAD

Sigh.
Free trade with America. Why

Meanwhile, we should stop dancing and should be forming stronger trade ties with CHINA, the soon to be economic superpower of the world, whilst America licks its wounded paws.

While john howard started off 1996 by moving closer to the US, i believe these days he's actually moving closer to asia.
If you look at australia's stance on most foreign affairs it is similar to that of most asian nations.

If only i was a mod. I'd lock useless threads such as this one.

I'd double lock it, does it annoy you that this forum doesn't actually have a friggen mod?

 

[Xayma]

Oh well.

It runs ok without one. The collective might of just about everyone discussing stuff here being law students means if runs ok.

I could mod. If I was all I'd do is get rid of the pointless threads posted by less politically aware.

But in all seriousness you only have to look at the posts of 'senior' mods to get a taste of why no one would want to be a mod.

Considering only about 6 people can discuss things in here, it isn't suprising they are mostly law students

Re. mod: I nominate Xayma. He's a well-respected regular and is already a member of the 'elite' p). That is, you should ask for the position if you have the time and don't mind the effort that may be needed from time to time.

 

[djmattyd]

I didn't even notice we didn't have a mod.

I'm all for not having one! lol

 

[leetom]

A mod is needed, either one of Asquithian, Generator or Xayma. All three would be ideal, because if it was just Asquithian or just Xayma people would winge about Aquithian's centre-left disposition and others Xayma's centre-right disposition. That makes Generator the ideal choice, but a Council of Three is better than just the one, even more so when the Membership is made up of almost exact political opposites (Asquithian-Xayma, coupled with Generator's centrism.) That way, no-one could bitch about thread deletion.

The "WTF are all wogs just dickheads or somethinn?" thread for example, could be deleted justifiably on the grounds of stupidity, and this thread.

How typical of Brogden backers. All it is is bitching from you lot, no suggested policy improvements, just bitching.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

I prefer no mod to these forums, but i do think there's alot of bs...
If there is to be a mod i have no problem with it being asquithian, generator, xayma, neo_o, moonlightsonata, or rorix.

 

[leetom]

Actually, it would make an interesting poll. Make one NTB.

Asquithian

MoonlightSonata

Generator

Xayma

neo_o

Rorix

no mod

do it like that.
