My experieces with the Education union in South Australia.
Suppress wages. No, we get a rise of between 3 and 4% EVERY year.
Defend the inept- NO sign at all.
Petty crap during "bargaining" years; No industrial action that ensures the pay rises above.
As for Strong arming I have never seen any such thing at all. All unions here use secret ballot, so whether or nbot you show a card to enter is irrelevant.
Before unions we had 10 years olds in mines, earning pathetic salaries.
It's typical for Americans to moan about unions without any knowledge of the way they work I have noticed.
Personally I never use a credit dard on the interent any more-I have a VISA debit card which has a nil balance most of the time.
When I need to make a payment I can transfer the money from my bank online, and that happens instantly. I then pay the account immediately, so the oney is only in the Visa debit for about 30sec.
As I said this is mostly NOT govt money. If US Private companies have more money to spend that is their right, and they do so to make a profit so in fact there is a profit, not a cost.
You can try and deflect the facts but they are simple. We were talking about Govt provided health care and I am willing to bet most of the US research is privatley funded. How on earth can you see that as relevant to the discussion.
As to costs, I provided a table, how about reading it insted of trying to manufature evidence to support your case.
First you made up stastistics, then when called tried to defend the indefensible.
Australia is a leader in quite a few areas of biomedical research, a LOT of it payed for by our government, via the CSIRO. You may have heard of them, particularly the recent invention of the anti chlamidiya vaccine, which ahs been a major benefit in the fight against cervical cancer.
If you stop pulling "facts" out of your ass and you might end up with some relevant input, but going by your posts so far I doubt it.
Heatlh care research and Health care are 2 different areas.
It is typical of the "fuck you I am alright conservatives" that you bring irrelevancies into this discussion, in much the same manner that creationists and climate change deniers use cherry picked out of context snippets to support their amusingly ludicrous argumnents.
Ever hear of the cochlear implant, developed in OZ?
We punch significantly above our weight in the medical research area.
Does the US govt PAY for that supposed 82%?
How much is done by big pharma, for huge profits?
You cant count that as govt spending you know.
In fact according to the study I just looked up;
We identified 1 485 749 articles published by authors from the European Union and the four candidate countries and 1 356 805 articles published by US authors.

Going by how quickly you replied, it must be going OK! (-:
Out of interest why did you change to Win 7? I see no compelling reason personally.
Except there is a bios setting to switch off speed step.
Every Pentium M laptop I have seen runs at reduced speed on batteries, ususally between 600-800MHZ.
My E6400 is fine too, it I am typing this post onit and the processor is running at full speed.
I am running XP on it, and suspect the peblem is with the Win7 driver, not the machine itself.
I am VERy happy with this E6400, it is the best laptop I have used, including all flavours of MAc book.
And when you call them on their utter bullshit you get modded flamebait. Seems the truth is nearly always flamebait here.
Hmmmm, tricky....Can you explain that with a car analogy?

You are a pea brained spotty arsed pig ignorant tosser if you are christian.
So go ahead and sue me, it will be fun fun fun!
Good luck with your libel suit, I have no assets in my name.....
Just go right ahead and waste your money, I need the laughs.

I wish them luck scamming that!
Worse things than that have been said about me at work. I'm still here....
And I am not surprised, going by your posts your an asshole.
"At least Bush had a war to justify his need to breach privacy.
Ah I see, I must have missed the end of the war against terror, the war in Iraq and afghanistan.
Musta blinked and missed it!
It appears if you present a sensible well reasoned anti death penalty opinion today, you get modded down.
Thats it I am not going to waste any more mod points on modding down coolforsale, I will kepp them to prevent these abuses of the moderation system.
I was replying to the post below yours.
Watch otu though your racism is showing, despite your attempts to hide it.
Well said AC-you should have posted logged in!
That at least has a reasonable case for discussion.
Why though did you not act when economic times were good?
Let me guess, when times were good it wasnt as badly needed by the poor.
Government costs money and they will get it from you like it or not.
It hope none of you are thinking of subscribing coolforsale's email address zminring@gmail.com to a lot of spam lists.
That would be very wrong.
Very very wrong.
Blinding him seems a little harsh!
We could all look at his SITE simataneously at some point though!
I have also wasted a ton of mod points on this idiot.
Its hard to think of a worse place for trying to spam than Slashdot eh?
Because it it totally impossible that a container could be added to a ship already at sea. I mean its not as if ships have cranes or anything.
Last rights?
Oh you mean last writes, no that doesnt seem rite either.

ROFLMAO, come on mods, he cant be serious.
No one is THAT stupid surely.
Then again whenever someone writes Barrack "Hussein" Obama you just never know if they are real paranoid right wing nutjobs, or just satirising them.
Words cannot describe how much I enjoy their terrified thrashing around now a decent intelligent black man is President. Fun times.

Funny that looks like Eurpoe is more than 50%.
Seems you have poosted a classic case of 85% of statistics are made up on the spot.
How about using a credible source of information instead of getting your"facts" from Fox news?
My boss is STILL looking for the missing token that brought down the network. Guess I should tell him I was joking....
Yeh, but occasionally they are lynched by rampaging mobs of respectable physicists who dont get invited to that sort of party.
