I don't take kindly to being an arsehole. Economic models have things called externalities. I don't have the time, nor the patience, nor the example in front of me to prove it. But some rock star earning 20 million dollars a year, to use an extreme example; their job is less important to an...

See, he's implying that rich people are productive for reasons other than income tax. They are, but generally not proportional to their incomes.

Rich people might be generally productive. But for example, a teacher contributes more to an economy than a lawyer would, outside of economic models. The point is that economic models fail to account for heaps of externalities. Just cos some rock star earns a shitload doesn't mean they benefit...

You confuse having a lot of money with being productive. Fail.

I'll concede I wasn't thinking clearly at the time and his post was somewhat ambiguous as to exactly who he was referring to by liberals, whether australian liberals or more generally liberals. I understand your views however, and I disagree with them.

lol with what? I'll probably become a lawyer if I get thru the degree, not too much that can be done with arts really. History major for arts.

What about Privy Council decisions? The Terra Nullius doctrine held for so long due to British influences may have been torn down sooner, for example. We might have chosen it, but it doesn't change the fact that it may have slowed down our legal development. Also, the American constitution...

Quite good, I can't complain :D. ATM it's mostly arts, but it's all interesting. Just started, so a fair way to go though, lol

The Governor General tends to use none of the powers you're talking about being a threat. Suggesting a president would use them where the GG didn't is probably a bit outlandish. Legally our links to Britain have slowed down enormously the development of our legal system. Hardly a good thing...

Australia's been legally dependent for almost 25 years, really. We don't need Britain to tell us what to do, and once the Queen dies we'll probably become a republic. Not that it's worth caring about at present. Though, I don't understand what reason one would have to not support a republic.

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. Other than fuck you, you moron.

LOL. Nice explanations guyz.

Why is it stupid?

No, but my understanding is that if I had damaged my computer thru lack of use of a static band, the entire thing wouldn't work. It wouldn't be working intermittently.

Thanks for the constructive comment

'HP' shit? How much did you pay for your g card? Did it have a warranty?

It won't be so easy for the libs to beat him because of green preferences (And I'm well aware that this must have been said already, but it's the logical criticism of the polling)

Lame if you're right. Any explanation as to how it could be 'on its way out' after so little time, though?
