I will defect, those who surrender first will be shown mercy and welcomed into the new society, those who resist will be crushed.

I think at the point where Indonesia falls we will consider our options and negotiate an alliance with the our benevolent overlords.

You want me to tell you who would comprise a triumvirate government of Australia when it inevitably forms in response to the inevitable annexation of Indonesia by the PRC? (who despite talking tough have barely fired a starting pistol at Taiwan in 40 years.)

Yeah but there will be groups who insist on a model that includes a new flag. Part of the problem with the 1999 campaign was that while there was a slim majority popular support for a republic in the electorate (judging by polling) there was absolutely no consensus on a model so a lot of...

Lol Britain won't be a power in 2030.

I was talking to some mates about the republican movement the other day and we decided Australia had gone the wrong way about it with PR campaigns and referenda etc. Instead of trying to become a republic from within, we declare war on England and get ourselves kicked out of the Commonwealth...

So is true love.

You don't think someone who creates property has the right to exercise control over it, and that we are ethically bound to respect that right?

The most compelling argument against taxation is that someone has worked hard to accrue the property, they should therefore have liberty to do with it what they will. Arguments about taxation stifling economic growth may or may not be true but I have no interest in that at this point in time. My...

I was and then you started talking about transfers of property. Well they are irrational in a meaningful way, they are motivated by emotional instinct instead of any sort of principled thought process.

By his own admission (at 3:30) the success of his theory is contingent upon people acting irrationally.

That would be because you don't understand misogyny or feminism.

I will note your contribution and keep it in mind for when I try to join the IPA. (Although you are wrong from a legal standpoint, until the will is administered the heir does not yet have a legal title to the property)

It certainly could have been, notably Anne Hathaway was eight years older than Shakespeare. I think they construe the age of 20 from the way Romeo spoke and behaved and that if a 24/25 year old had been behaving like that you would have called them immature and dopey and it wouldn't really fit...

Disclaimer: Yes I am writing a uni thing on this at the time, no I am not posing the question to you but rather issues that I encountered in my research. Essentially even within the parameters of a free market framework, what theoretical rights are impinged upon by an inheritance tax? The...

For the benefit of you shadowdude I should explain, Germaine Greer is a feminist author and literary academic.

See now I would term that bitchy.

Juliet was 13, Romeo was substantially older. The youngest I've heard seriously suggested was 15 though most people seem to suggest he was around twenty. Germaine Greer likened him to the equivalent of an honours student seeking out some pretty, nervous and giggling first year student to hit on.

Debauchee is just another incarnation of Cosmo right?

Well a school doesn't particularly guarantee anything in particular but you're right the implied terms would not include a specific test grade. There might, and this is pretty much the only part of this thread that interests me, be a certain quality of service implied in a private school...
