    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    yes totally when it comes to Bin Ladin, 100%, uniquivocally, and with no appologies. There is no grey area when it comes to Bin Ladin. There are many 'grey' areas in life that can be debated, he is not one of them.

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    Yes thats the essential issue isnt it. We love to hate the 'dominant power', yet what is the alternative? (a) chaos, with no nation being able to excert power; (b) an alternative 'dominant power', whereby only after time passes do we wish for the previous dominant power. Totally agree...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    i rest my case. Sorry this must drive one such as yourself round the block. By the way there might be something wrong with my windows program, i am sure i typed 'eloquant' (well 50% of the way there). By the way Merry Christmas buddy, you are a good member of this forum.

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    spelling my dear boy, we dont all possess your grasp of the English language. But like investing, its not the algorathim, that determines the final picture (luckily for me) Although i do guarantee you that if i ever go public, i will have a Belbo type person as one of my right hand men, they...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    I would say its before WWII, what about WWI (except it wasnt the US, it was Britain), talley ho boys, over the top, lets give a bit to those huns, what? But this misses the essential point, in the whole scheme of things, most australians with 'aussie values' know inherently the right way...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    Nope not from what i am seeing. There is little that the state government can do in the whole scheme of things. They are only a state government. Who really cares, the big issues are determined on a federal level. The importance of state vs federal governments is like the mouse vs the...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    whatever whaffle this is, it becomes a case of lets obfusicate the original post by Evand. So lets get back to basics, do you support Bin Ladin, do you support his views. If not what is your view on how to handle the situation in regards to Bin Ladin? Is it just an American problem...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    oooh yeah, i need a good spanking and some time spent in a political re-education camp, for even thinking such thoughts. How dare I, after all, todays version of the Malleus Maleficarum, has quite clearly dictated the correct way to progress. Time for a bit of burning i think, nothing...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    lol Evand you are a major tosser, how about googling Sweden terrorism. Seems like there was a terrorism plot there just last month involving extremists of the bin laden kind. Oh but it still doesnt change the underlying story, we just want to be green, if its not in our back yard don't get...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    well guys you have heard it here first, by no other than from the boys own lips. According to Evand, Bin Laden is the arbitor who justifies who deserves terrorism actions and who doesnt. According to Evan, if its not in our backyard, then we should ignore it.

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    Firstly one of the points relates to the fact that it is not conditions today that are important, but conditions into the future (hence the reference to the baht millionaires, they had it good in post Asian financial crisis Thailand, but it didnt last). Secondly, if the cake is not growing...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    reminds me of alot of 'whites' (to cover Australia, and europeans) who were living in Thailand post the Asian financial crisis. They suddently felt very much comparitively rich. Interest rates in Thailand were high (north of 10%), exchange rate was very low. Much talk of the 'baht...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    And yet what is traditionally a labour key productivity enhancer: infrastructure, and yet where is it????????? Our major platform is a carbon tax, oh yeah a great productivity improver (yet Evan says its great). No wonder labour voters are deserting labour. Labour is the new right...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    Evand, economic leadership is a progressive issue. It relies on consistent productivity improvements over time. By your logic the Greeks/Italians should have been able to maintain dominance by logic of the fact that they at a particular point in history they had underlying factors that held...
