Correct names?
The names I put are correct.

Other than 2 mistypes - 'if instead of 'of' and I left off a 'y' off of party while I had to write all of it in under two minutes.
OMG!!!!! AGHHHHH!!! SHOOT ME!!!!!!
You're right - I AM stupid.
Your evidence is conclusive.
Didn't you read the rest of this thread because I explained that. And no one needs google to figure out how to spell 'of' and 'party' so your argument doesn't make sense. Wait - maybe you need google for that.
Btw I notice that you didn't respond to my other questions...
I have another to add - why do you hate me?

If the Australian Libertarian party is on the ballot I'll vote them and I'll vote for the sex party because of their stance on censorship.

Younger first time voters would vote for Labor (without knowing much what they stand for) as they get older and wiser (hopefully) they become conservative with their views and would vote for the Liberal party, common sense.
That's actually false. What people vote for when young is generally also what they vote for when older.

"Yeah, I'm voting for them too because they know how to fucking use google before making numerous stupid threads."

Nasty nasty.

Yea I am imagining it. Seriously - why did you say both of those quotes when I had never even posted to you before?

ps. why don't you reply to anything else I said - note you just quote a section of what I said and ignore the rest.

Pol choices are rubbish. No one is going to vote for the NATs/One nation, what about the LDP.

Weirdo.
That made me lol . Maybe you had to see the context. Don't you think she is implying that women who are poor and don't have a partner (and therefore a double income) shouldn't get pregnant? Cos I don't think that's fair.

You confuse me (in so many ways).

As someone who claims to be far right, ultra-conservative and Liberal absolutist, why did you support Obama in the US election and mock McCain/Palin as much as you do for the parties of the opposing spectrum here?

There are two types of conservatives in my experience, the type that oppose change from now and the type that want to change back, regress so to speak. Palin wanted to bring back the good ol days wheras Malcolm Turnbull is more "don't risk progress unless you are 100% sure it will be better than the status quo." Actually the whole political spectrum is way to broad and sweeping. I like to consider myself a socialist but at the same time have little respect for trade unions who I don't think look at the broader picture and are only interested in furthering their own cause. Most Republicans would be digusted by the monarchist stances of Downer and Howard, it's really all a mish mash.

An interesting point about Australia is that the "socially progressive" tag which the ALP love so dearly really only came about with Whitlam and the socially conservative tag really only came about with Howard and Peacock. That probably partially explains why floor crossings were a much more common thing in earlier years.

BECAUSE conservatives HERE right here in Australia, is not fucktards like the Republicans in the U.S. (they're christian nutcases) At least Howard wasn't a bible loving bitch like Palin was, or a war whore like McCain as to comparing to Turnbull. I love conservatives here, true conservatives lies in Australia, they manage the economy the best (the records proves it). Unlike Bush.........

since she is a mother herself, and knows the sacrifices that are necessary for her son's wellbeing, i think its perfectly logical for her to come to the conclusion.

i think most working, single women do not have the time and grace to juggle a child as well.

sure, be in favour of women having children when they do not have the ability to nuture them. thats fair. thats really fair on the children. and fuck, just give teachers parental responsibilities too. they dont do enough as it is for their generous salaries.

I see what you are saying (in fact I agree) but I think you got the wrong idea of what I was saying -I also think that most single, working mothers don't have the time or money to juggle a child aswell. My point was that I think this wrong. I think they should get paid maternity leave so they can take time off and nuture the child properly. Katie Tully doesn't support paid maternity leave. Therefore I was arguing that it was wrong of her to say that 'poor single mothers just shouldn't get pregnant' as this isn't a solution. See what I mean?

i see what you mean, but i dont think its really logically sound, on closer inspection.

katie is saying that the woman shouldnt rely on external sources to prop her up while she has the child.

and even if we can justify that, the child's needs extend beyond the period of maternity leave.

And I don't get your point about single mothers. They had to get pregnant from somewhere, it didn't just happen. Thus if they're pregnant, they've got 2 choices -
terminate, or support. If they can't support themselves for 6 months while birthing the child, they need to go after the father of the child PROVIDING HE IS THE FATHER.

I just don't think it's fair, especially in private enterprise, that work places should be forced to pay a woman to have her child.
