So you don't think the world economy is headed for rocky waters this year? Tell me what you know that makes you think that.

Never said anything about doom for the US. Just making a point that whinging about having more than anyone else is a little undignified.

Hey you two, play nice now. We're all on the same team here. I think there's some sort of misunderstanding here.

I'll fix it; Tarjak , here's a [insert your fav beer here], August here's a [insert your fav beer here]. Everybody's happy now, Ja?

Now where's my nobel peace prize.

The world economy is always headed for rocky waters. It's nothing new.

What does dignity have to do with it? A reduction is a reduction. Anyone will complain if their standard of living falls whether they be in Mumbai, America or Australia.

Everything. My standard of living has reduced quite a bit over the past 12 months due to the GFC, world economy, etc. I'm not moaning about it. I'm trying to do something about it. To my mind that's the only dignified response.

No point crying over spilled milk.

Just curious, how has it decreased? I forget what you do for work.

Our government has significantly changed the tax regime here which sees me several thousand dollars per year worse off in addition to cost of living increases for the basics. As the only income earner for a family of five, it's definitely meant I've had to lower my expectations.

I love discussions like this. It always misses the point and ignores the NEED
for stricter laws and more simpler ways of dealing with the solution. Thanks
to the cowardly and corrupt (at the top) who imposes their "reason and
humanism" which is nothing more than New Marxist Liberalism. Looks good on
paper but in the real world is total chaos and ends in disaster.
If murders, rapists and all forms of criminal scum are getting away their crimes
at the bottom, what do you think those at the top are getting away with?
Those who's religion is only greed and self indulgence are incapable of doing
anything good, in the long term.
In other words what is needed are men of action not of talk. Those who
can not or will not show self control (at top or bottom) must finally be dealt
with in the harshest terms possible.

Yeah, there is only approximately 300 years of difference between the phenomena. I'll let you discover yourself which was born first.

Also, a dictionary wouldn't hurt if you want to throw terms around.

Does anyone know why he takes this stance?
Same as the tea-nuts. There is a good sized segment of our population who believes this.

It reeks of a police state, which is why we kicked Britains ass to begin with...

It saddens me, that a man with such beliefs can get so many nods of approval. I always though our countries capacity for compassion and brotherhood was strong. But seemingly it it going towards contempt and suspicion of your fellow citizen.

Perhaps a purge is in order once we get that pinko, commie, jobkiller Obama out of office.

Like Stalin, your neighbor lies on you out of fear, you and your family go to the gulag. It's a win win!

God bless the republicans, and their constituency.
