So the democrats have control of congress. Unfortunatly they cant do anything. The best they can do is stop Republican bills from getting through.

Did anyone win the senate yet? Last I heard it was 49-49. If one republican were to win the 2 races still going on they will have technically won the house because of Dick Cheney.

1. Victoria is way better than NSW and ACT will ever be.
2. Liberal's are for snobs and idiots who think that John Howard will make interest rates go down.
3. John Howard is an idiot to prohibit stem cell research.
4. Kim Beazley would've been Prime Minister by now if he hadn't resigned the first time.
5. That's all I have to say.

1. Please explain why ACT is the capital and NSW is the richest state if VIC is som much better.
2. Liberal has brought intrest rates down after Labour stuffed up our country and brought them way up
3. I agree there but he is better than Kim Beazly, Simon Crean, Mark Latham and all of those losers.
4. And he would have done what Labour did every other time they got into power, at first it would be great everyone would get extra money then the taxes would soar and intrest rates would go high
5. Good for you, P.S. Melbourne sucks, how is Canberra Australia's 7th biggest mistake, is it because it's Australia's safest city? Is it because it's Australia's capital?

1. Melbourne was originally going to be Australia's capital, but they made it Canberra because it was a conflict of interest and they wanted to make a new city.
2. He just rose them to 7%.
3. Mark Latham and Simon Crean aren't cut out for politics anyway.
4. The Labour party would never do that. The Labour party is for the working class man.
5. Victoria is Australia's safest state. And refer to my above statement about it being the capital.

1. No it was going to be Syndney or Melbourne (It was leaning towards Sydney too) but then there was a dispute and Canberra was made
3. Neither is Kim Beazly
4. The please explain why they did just that when the preivously entered office and why the only PM to ever be fired was part of the Labour party
5. No it is not, ACT is the smallest and the friendliest, there is practically no crime.

Axel
11-10-2006, 05:35 AM
1. No, it was going to be Melbourne. Melbourne had the largest population. Sydney was only considered because it was the first capital.
2. You missed a number
3. Not like John Howard.
4. It wasn't the PM that was fired, it was the Governor-General
5. That's because it's practically full of only politicians and porn.

gwia
11-10-2006, 06:00 AM
1. Sydney has always had a larger population than Melbourne
2. I know
3. John Howard is a lot more qualified than Kim Beazly, All Beazly would do is confiscate the country's donut supply so he never goes hungry again.
4. The Governer-General fired a PM
5. Exactly a lot safer than Australia's Fashion/Gay/Mafia capital and you forgot the marjuana.

Axel
11-10-2006, 06:24 AM
1. Not during the Gold Rush it didn't
2.That's right
3. Like I said, if he hadn't resigned, he would've been PM by now.
4. No they had a re-vote
5. Sydney is the gay capital. And who cares if we are the Fashion or Mafia.

3. No he wouldn't be, people aren't stupid enough to elect that fat moron.
4. No he was fired.
5. Oh yeah because they have Mardi Gras, Melbourne still has alot of gays because of the fashion crap. The best thing Melbourne has is Neighbours and that sucks arse.

As far as doing something to destroy the world, every country in the world is. The earth is currently undergoing a sixth mass extinction (the most recent one was the dinosaurs), and no matter how much Al Gore bitches, nobody's going to cease global warming or using fossil fuels until it's too late. By too late I mean we'll all have been killed by skin cancer, world war, shrinking landmasses (the continents are submerging) and various other natural disasters.

And that's why we need a liberal in office. Because they'll ban the use of fossil fuels and industrialization, and foce us to reform.

I aint talking about Iraq i'm talking about Israel, Your selling the Israel troops weapons even though theres clear evidence there killing hundreds of women and children on a daily basis as if it was the holocaust all over again and there buying there misiles and weapons from america.

You believe what you want to believe but they supply alot more weapons than you mentioned, Why i know this you ask is because Scotland have recently found out that they refull there transport of arms (planes) at Glasgow and none of us were at all happy when we found out the news, plus if you look at the news channels those guns they use strike a resemblance to American arms because it is there arms, thats why there attacking you cause Americans are helping to kill there families.

I'm sorry that you think otherwise. And they bare no resemblence to American weapons. they're completely different.

the backbone of the us army soldier, the Colt Automatic Rifle Model 16 (http://forums.vugames.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/14-20803-227104-7878/m16--m203.jpg), also known as the m16

and heres the new isreili weapon of choice, the IMI Tavor Assault rifl (http://www.geocities.com/ph_armstrong/SmallArms/SniperRifles/Tavor.jpg)e, simply known as the Tavor.

They look completely different, function completely different, and have different purposes.

anything else?

Why i know this you ask is because Scotland have recently found out that they refull there transport of arms (planes) at Glasgow and none of us were at all happy when we found out the newsListen...Refueling of C-130 cargo planes in Glasgow has nothing to do with arms traffic.

It may be efficient, because they provide a lot of energy and some of the radioactive or nuclear elements are man-made. But if anything bad happens in the power plant, then you could lose a whole city close to it.

Heres the area affected by Chernobyl. 1 Nuclear power plant.

Well with Chernobyl, they KNEW something was wrong, yet they didn't act.
No, they didn't. According to the status panel in the control room, Everything was going fine, except that the reactors throughput increased dramatically. After 26 seconds, they ordered an NCRAM, or an emergency reactor shutdown, this however was too late, as they take 20 seconds to enter the reactor. I think you're underestimating the time under which the disaster took place. It all happened in under a minute.
