Do you know what a fact is? 'Magnificent IR Laws' is anything but factual, that is just opinionated garbage. 'Unions will destroy our future and workplaces' is also another opinion, not fact. 'Interest rates lower than a labor gov' whilst is true in a recent sense, is a generalisation. This is a...

The 'one failure in 50 years' was a throwaway line (I wasn't trying to misrepresent facts, I thought that was an obvious throwaway line), I'm too lazy to do research on the inflation, interest rate and unemployment statistics over the last 100 years. What I'm suggesting that this is a test (much...

There is this test in predicting election outcomes that is very reliable (something like 1 failure in the last 50 years when the government of the day was caught in a scandal days out from the election). Apparently if two out three economic indicators rise over the term - inflation, interest...

Dude you have to say more that just recite bloody liberal adds - if all your other posts are much like this, its no wonder your posts get taken down.

Have you considered (considering you don't want Labor, and you don't want conflict) voting for one of the minor parties into the Senate, so as to achieve them receiving the balance of power? Interesting note - Liberals, whilst having control of the Senate, have rejected 98% of amendments made by...

Actually thats not too far from the truth in some instances. Mohammad was in a cave for days, before getting the revelations. Likewise Buddha starved himself for 3 days sitting by a tree before he came up with Buddhism. Some denomination of christianity works off a girl getting her head done in...

All this anti-union fervour doesn't make any sense. I'm curious, has any one on this forum that is so anti-unionist, actually had a bad experience with unions? Please post your bad stories. As it seems like everyone on this forum seems to be 21 years or less, I'd be very surprised if you have...

The best post of the thread. Good stuff.

Now I'm not entirely sure whether your talking about private contractors working in Iraq, or a privatised army invading another country, but both present greater problems to a country than a government doing the dirty work. The thing about privatised armies is that they do not have their own...

What's so good about doing work training without getting paid for it, despite it being illegal? Whats so good about being sacked for as little reason as your boss didn't like you? What's so good about being deprived of the UN recognised right to have a union represent you? WE HAD A GOOD ECONOMY...

Is the view of atheists any less relative than that of Christianity? Your bible is meant to be of absolute reference. Does it not say in the bible that slavery is ok (with slaves from a neighbouring country)? So unless you think today that slavery is alright, does that not also mean that your...

Well I'd hardly say (as shown with my above points) that the Howard government supports either a fair go or an egalitarian society, and I'm not naive enough to think Labor is going to be perfect (though I will be voting Labor in in the HOR). By having the Democrats getting the balance of power...

I look at his topic and all I can see is economics, economics, economics. Whilst it's unarguably a very important issue in any election, am I the only one who seems to think issues of human rights and social equity are important? Whilst Howard has ultimately been beneficial to Australia in the...
