I know it is anecdotal evidence but personally I am convinced of the value of Chiro in some circumstances.
I suffer from FSH muscular dystrophy, and get extreme headaches due to it. The ONLY thing that reduces the frequency of these headaches is a regular visit to the chiro.
I literally can feel an improvement immediately after a visit. That said there are some chiro's who I have tried who got no useful result, leading me to believe that this is not a placebo type effect.
There is nothing forcing them to find and watch this video. If the IOC had shut the fuck up, the family would have been unlikely to even know this site existed.
no tax on first X dollars made and Y% on every dollar made after
As far as income tax goes this is the system we use in.au, the first 6000 is tax free then then next 15K @15%, and then increasing % until max rate of 39% for very high salaries. We do have a federal sales tax, (Known as the GST) of 10% too.
If you think that a sales tax will replace income tax you are dreaming, it would just be nore tax on top!
There is no U in labor party, quite ironic really.
When au political parties factions are mentioned with respect to these parties, it is relative, a factional right wing Labor person would still normally be more left of centre policy wise than a left wing Liberal faction memeber. The difference seems to be less each year.
Of course both would be thought of as goddamn socialist liberal commies in the US. It cracks me up when Americans refer to "socialist" policies as frankly both the US political parties and thier supporters would be viewed as far right loonies here.

As an athiest myself, I have to say I personally am convinced that AGW does exist. I see no tendancy
for atheists to be deniers amongst those I know.
Wishfull thinking on the part of the deniers methinks.

I just dont buy the protect the family thing.

All the users do is slow the network down and whinge, as you so ably demonstrate.
At least a sysadmin can spell!
I will bring the lime and the roll of old carpet, !
I totally disagree that the GST should have replaced income tax. Only the well off would benefit from that as the tax free threshold would disappear.

Tired of discreditng the fallacious arguments of the AGW deniers.
There's and app for that!

The ihone has a useful app, whodathunkit.
Pesonally I am inclined to believe global climate change is occouring and is man made.
I also do not believe that I wll have a car accident and damage my car beyond repair.
But that does not stop me from insuring my car.
I see action on climate change in exactly the same light as insuring my car.
LOL An american who says other countries education system is inferior.
Now I know you are deluded. (Or perhaps your just a product of the US education system, same thing really)
It not a slightly different meaning it is a hugely different meaning. You simply dont have ANY left wing in the US compared to civilised countries.

Shit now I am confused!
(Australia is the biggest complainer)
Because we dont have any subsidies for farming at all. It is the subsidies that destroy the profitability of third world farmers.
Bloody hell cobbers, did someone on Slahdot just say John katz was right about something? (Checks out window for signs of apocolypse)
This is a STATE AG, and for the relevant changes the approval of all the states AG is required.
Atkinson is the holdout.
He is the darling of the Right faction of the Labor
party, which confusingly used to be left wing before they sold out.
Please note in au liberals are the conservative party!
Someone should start a gamer party and run for election
An group called Gamers for Croydon has already done exactly that. They have denied any involvement in this scare and condemned it.
Ironically, The Liberal Party in Australia ARE
the conservatives.
The Labour party used to be left wing, but is now slightly less conservative than the Liberals.
It always makes me laugh when I see US posters carping on about liberals as left wing!
The gangs are banned one by one on application by the Poilice commisioner. So far only The Finks gang has been banned.
That law was struck down in a court challenge and an appeal to the high court is pending.
South Australia the state in question was not settled by criminals.
I was setup with free settlers, as a supposedly utopian society.
The gamers are running a candidate against him
at the upcoming election too.
They have condemned this action, which appears to have been taken by an individual not an organisation.
*WHOOOSH*
I was logically extending your proposition, I am amazed that anyone would actually take that seriously.
I guess I should never underestimate just how naive and revolting libertarians atttiudes can be.
The question I want to ask is who the hell appointed YOU the spokesman for all of OZ?
Personally I do not like Conroys attempts at censorship, which was not part of their electoral platform.
If you think we are any better off than the US you are deluded.
"What makes a hacker "good" first of all is knowing one thing: How good he really is."
Clint Eastwood put it best in a movie.

Surely if the taxes you mention did fund the things you say there would be no deficit?
"A 2.8 billion dollar state deficit in Washington shows that there's a systemic fiscal responsibility problem with the state's legislation"
NO it shows a prblem with their tax rates.
You can either cut services or increase taxes.
"if you're not paying for the government you vote for, do you deserve to influence it's direction?"
What a good idea, in fact you could set it up so the more tax you pay the more of a vote you have.
The rich deserve to rule us after all!
My sympathies for your difficulties.
Could I perhaps suggest a complete spare computer would be a good idea?
At least not allowing updates to occur until a week after the patch release might give you some reassurance.
