Dunno. Good teachers make a lot of difference in education. Singapore and Finland always comes out tops (or near the top) in education and you just gotta think for a moment why that's the case. With Singapore yeah, they're all Asian so they work super hard and everyone gets good grades. But...

In NSW. You can drive anything you want in the ACT. Also, if he can spend 25k$ on a car, I greatly doubt he's still on P's.

The turbos they stick in lancer evos from 5 or 6 years ago (two generations ago) which will be in the kind of range you could get it for <25k$ are finicky and somewhat less reliable especially in the summer. Otherwise, it's a wonderful car and one of my all time favourites. (I'm just a sucker...

FPV GT 2003 or 2004. Billions of spare parts, every hick mechanic knows how to fix it so maintenance is a easy and cheap. Well-built and reliable, 4 door 5 seats. Nice fat boot, 290kW. 15.1l/100km combined. Look for one that's been well maintained and serviced on time and on schedule. When...

Kim, not much an ass-kisser but that is nearly the most complete demolition of a lefty I have ever seen. Good job. Although I have to take issue with this statement, "Capitalism as the basis of wealth creation benefits all social classes – the only ones who wilt and die are the ones too...

You need capitalism to bake pies. Just putting it out there that no one would produce the marginal grain, blueberry (mmm, blueberry pie...), sugar etc without a price signal so as to justify that allocation of labour and resources. Otherwise, good luck with your cool society bro. The rest of us...

I would have told her. Bitches need to get told son. On the question of relationships, well my take is niggers gotta be ballin and strings don't help.

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt? pwned.

Means you enroll with the rest of your college on that day. You don't have to go for the enrollment by surname.

You kidding bro? Every single tea party sanctioned candidate in the mid-terms bar one or two espoused social views that are at best medieval. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/02/tea-party-poll-more-than_n_597968.html?ref=fb&src=sp#sb=164043...

Re: jesus fuck Food labelling is legit. Reasonable to expect to know what goes in what you eat. Also it doesn't really distort the market as it imposes very small marginal costs on packaging companies to print a few extra lines. Alcohol and Cigarette labeling? I'm in favour of survival of the...

Re: bob borwn Sylvester is clearly afraid that "the government" will deign to waste their time by censoring his libertarian ranting on this little forum. Censoring kids who espouse ACism (an ideology that has failed to catch on with anyone anywhere no matter their socioeconomic standing) is...

Re: bob borwn Wouldn't mind him even if he was bob the white supremacist. As long as he's got the right policies.

Re: bob borwn Bob Brown is a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything. The Greens will destroy the economy while yielding no real gains for the environment. True story. Not some AC hack here, just a guy who knows a little thing or two about economics and the environment.

If the mining sector goes back to normal ASAP as you predict it will, then those skilled individuals would not face reduced demand for their services due to infrastructure damage. Also, the flood levy, no matter how well structured it is (ie. taking money from people who are less likely to spend...

Floods are pretty bad for the wider economy because they'll accelerate wage inflation. The workers for flood reconstruction are the same skilled workers required for the mining sector. A flood that would be good for the economy would be a flood that specifically washed in about 100,000 trained...
