    Both as far as I have noticed. Certainly within your bank there is zero charge, and I do not recall being charged for transfers to another bank either, though I do not do that often-after all it costs them nothing!

    I am stunned. A internet bank transfer costs zero in Australia. How do your banks get away with such charges?

    The simple facts are that we have a much lower rate of gun related deaths than
    the US.

    This is partly because it is difficult to obtain weapons of any kind, and very difficult to have any sort of semi-automatic at all.

    How many mass murders were there in the US at schools in the last 10 years? Since we removed those guns there is no more easy access for loonies to obtain weapons and go on killing sprees.

    Sure our criminals do occasionally have guns, (There are very strict penalties for having unlicensed weapons) but in the main they are very rare and difficult to obtain for EVERYONE, as they should be in a sensible society.

    I have NEVER been in a situation where I would need a gun, because owning guns is VERY rare in our society. Ever wondered why our own society is so violent with firearms compared to others?

    I do not have violent acquaintances, and have never encountered a criminal with a gun in my 50 years, including 20 years of late night work in the major cities.

    YOU raised the irrelevant issue and call me off topic for replying, sorry but if you post bullshit you get called, and bleating off topic is not an out card.

    We do not have elected judges in au, so there are no campaign contributions for bribes to hide behind.

    Yes it does sound minor to me, but I ma not trying desperately to discredit the science like you.

    No, Atkinson also said the laws would NOT be applied during this election. As our parliment will not sit until after the election then this stance is the only option.

    The BEST thing the government here ever did was get rid of those firearms.

    We unlike some do not worship guns, and have a much lower death rate then the US.

    Note that the SA AG Atkinson has already backed down and decided to retrospectively repeal the law -without a gun in sight. It seems we have a working democracy youn dont.

    Your attempt to use this issue to try
    and justify an rant against the sensible policies we have is null and void.

    You are right of course paradoks, and nobody is more supportive of space travel then myself. However sadly current technology does not even get near the kinds of speeds we need for useful interstellar travel.

    I dont see the point of spending a fortune to run around our own backyard.

    It should be noted though that particularly African economies suffer greatly from both US and European farm subsidies-I would be happy to see those removed and the funding used for space research.

    They pay farmers to NOT grow stuff for goodness sake!

    This would make African and in fact all third world farmers much more competitive, and increase their standard of living.

    Sea shepeard do great work, your terrorism spin is plain ludicrous.

    In fact the Japanese whalers are the people breaking the law, as their blatant deliberate ramming and sinking of a sea shepard boat recently attests.

    The rape of the seas thru bottom scraping overfishing is an upcoming disaster of epic proportions, and personally, I support Sea shepard 100%.

    What drives your irrational dislike of them I wonder? I smell a financial incentive.

    Could not agree more about the difficulty of learning on crap guitars.

    Only in the last few years have I bought really nice guitars and the difference is amazing. Some poieces that were difficult to manage on an average guitar are easy on a decent one.

    The difference is unbelievable really, I reckon I played 30% better as soon as I picked up my new accoustic. Yay!
