I don't know if anyone's noticed, but since making Journeyman, I've gotten the hang of keeping my mouth shut and walking away when I get in a huff.

Why can't we all just get along?

Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Kum bay ya, the Lord, kum bay ya;
Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.
 Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya;

Of course its classless cause we got the class and them others got the less. Um....try again.

I noted the 50% leaving thread was locked last night... but now... it has been.. 'removed'.... as was the case in a previous leaving thread of hers...

other threads that get ugly.... get locked... but remain.... looks bad...

kitty's a big girl... she got pushed... she responded... as she would have if it had been face to face.... She had the option to use the Edit button... she didn't.... she stood by her words.....she was pissed off...... these perceived... 'cleansings' on her behalf... don't do her any favours...

well......... maybe I shouldnt have said what i said, so I do appologize for it, if natas reads this.

I am sorry,

and hope that some kind of truce can be granted.

from now on, ill just do what kaz does...just walk away and not take the bait,.

So... appologies again.

Now we party?

I tend to rub my hands together and my blood runs a little faster as I get ready for the games ahead.

And oh yeah, I'm smiling.

Yeah, the games ahead....

We should have a WC Olympics... where we grapple a Googler: bash a banker and accost advertisers.  We could hand out gold medals for the most innovative Google grapple; silver for the most entertaining banker beating; bronze for the most adventurous advertiser accosting... and platinum for manouvres that account for all 3 categories in one swoop.

We should probably create categories for Aussie utilities and retailers... being they get greedier by the day. 

(power just increased by 17% and is expected to rise by 30% next July 1st due to the implementation of the carbon tax.)

And an extra special one for the Aussie government... which gets stupiderer by the day.

(for allowing rampant price gouging, over-taxing on everything and mounting an unmanagable debt)

No point hiding... the fallout will get into every nook and cranny.  Besides, you're one dirty low down bat rag weirdo with a decidedly warped mind.

Now, Uvah, that's one personal attack I could find the energy for.  Hopefully you'll receive it with the fondness and love with which I intended.

Yeah, I'm aware that politicians worldwide share one common denominator - stupidity - but ours has taken extreme liberties with that designation.  And when I say extreme stupidity, I mean EXTREME STUPIDITY.

Carbon is the building block of life... yet our stupid government is imposing a carbon tax that'll do zero, zilch, nada to reduce pollution, yet will dramatically increase the cost of power, gas, petrol... anything and everything that runs on fossil fuel.  Further, the Aussie government has just announced measures that will add $8000 to the price of new cars/vehicles and put older ones off the road... all in the name of climate change.  Sure it's nice that they are concerned about the planet, but this climate change drive is pushing up the price of everything everywhere we look.... and I know of some families who are suffering like we were in a depression.

We are for from being in recession, much less a depression, but the greed of retailers and utility providers in this country is sending low income families and pensioners to the wall.  One old lady in my street, for example, lives alone and is going to bed at around 5.30 pm this Winter, rather than live in the cold and dark because she cannot afford heating or lighting since her power bill tripled [as did everyone's] in the last 4 - 5 years. We are constantly told to use power wisely and turn off unused appliances, etc, but this poor woman has nothing left to turn off... unless she eats raw food, has cold showers and forgoes turning on her life saving asthma apparatus each night.  Neighbours have welcomed her into their homes for meals ans etc, but she never accepts because she is too proud to accept charity from those who are not a lot better off than she is.

Our government is responsible for this abject poverty.... all because it subscribes to and perpetuates the flawed theory of global warming that's based on lies, fabricated science and computer generated models that can be successfully argued/disproven.  I thought JuLIAR Gillard was the better person to run this country, but now I see she is deplorable and colder than a witches tit.

*RANT OFF*

Government's trying to raise the taxes on oil co's here too.  Oil co's are running ads against it.  Funny thing is, they don't and can't really say the one thing in the ads that would both be truthful and get people on their sides:  "Dummies, if we pay more taxes, we'll just raise prices and you'll pay for it, plus a little more to get our rate of return."  Have no fear, if there's any sign of an economic recovery some group of leeches is well equipped to suck the life out of it.

(didn't mean to poke a button there Starkers, hope you feel better now)

yep i agree, and what about the way she lied  to burgo's face when he asked about the pensioners?

'stay tuned for the budget' she said..... the pensioners were barely mentioned, but she was all for woolworths and IGA taking the full brunt

of struggling australians with food vouchers.......it helped but it was only a bandaid solution that was going to run out quick.

i have never liked gillard ever since she stabbed my Kevy Rudd in the back, now i just detest her, and i voted for her......im ashamed.

as for bob brown....sorry but i dont like poofters....so he dosent have my vote either,

i dont think much of tony abbot either, but at least he seems to want to turn the boats away rather than give them all hugs, accomodation and status here in australia.

the current state of this country is so horrible, but no one seems to want to give any aussie a break, let alone a pay rise for working australians, and or pensioners.

and they wonder why MORE people are doing smash and grab robberies.........people are desperate for MONEY.

power, water, food, petrol,tobacco, tax, mortgages...to me, its by sheer miracles that we are even getting by.

So good show to Julia who wants to put an end to the obscenity that is Rinehart's fellatio of Australia's resources....the bitch wasn't happy with a PERSONAL wealth of 4.75 BILLION....this year it's 10.3 BILLION.

That cow is profiting from AUSTRALIA's resources...not hers.  She is personally raping OUR country's natural resources.

'bout time the fucker actually paid something back.

Give her what she's worth....10 bucks for a 10 buck whore.  Give the rest to the pensioners.

You know....you wouldn't need a 'carbon tax' if you just taxed Rinehart's billions.....oh wait, that's what the carbon tax is for.
