    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    What Marc is touching on is the haves and have nots in society. Its always been there and will always be there. Is he proposing a Thatcherite like country where every person rises up and becomes employed or a small business owner, well educated and raised by great parents. I don't think thats...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    The irony is that it was the actions of the right wing, unregulated, business types that caused the GFC in the first place. And it was pretty much repaired with left wing socialist principles. (nationalisation of business and industries, govt. intervention everywhere...etc)

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    There you go again. I'm calling your over intellectual verbosity unnecessary and only designed to intimidate, or impress and usually come from an insecure person. You don't win a debate with big words, you win with facts. And yours are seriously lacking. And compensted for with your big...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    You didn't state previously that only pissant countries dont meddle, when you made your simplistic, all sweeping blanket statement. Or place conditions on your statement that all countries meddle. And therefore are targets for terrorism. Re Bali, i remember clearly GW Bush stating 'it was our...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    Ok, New Zealand meddles in the south pacific, but not in a harmful aggressive way. So does Australia, but by no means in way to bring terrorism on itself. America meddles across the world, in a MAJOR way, having a massive impact on countries. With obvious results. As with Rome, its their...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    Calling me a 'major tosser'. I just laughed whne i read that on my favourite property forum. That is so funny. Anyway, the US, with their aggressive and bullying foreign policy has brought this upon them selves with their constant meddling in OS politics to suit their own interests. They are...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    I read to the 2nd paragraph and couldnt read any more. Its saying the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, fair enough. Tho its an American term, not one of the RSL. Anyway, the part that states that we are "fighting against terrorists who threaten our values etc" What a load of Liberal...

    Yes, NSW Labor were so bad i didnt vote for them last election. And i couldnt vote conservative. So i voted Green. Looks like Barry might be heading down the same path.

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    You keep banging on about the states going to Liberal. But at the moment, federal govt is Labor and the Libs chances of getting in are decreasing every day that tool Abbott is there. Since Fatty O'Barrell has been in here in NSW, they have been pretty hopeless. Like the Libs are going to run...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    The term that comes to mind is 'guileless'. He is a man as - as the previous article says - that operates on base principals of fear, greed, anger etc....much like Howard. I think now i get your point about cunning. Wheresas Howard used rat cunning to compensate for charisma, political...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    Its looks like you're saying 'rat cunning' is a good thing? In my book, the only reason to deploy 'rat cunning' is when you cant achieve something honestly. Howard was the most duplicitous, calculating leader this country ever had.

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    At least the Labor party keep a dignified, stick to the facts composure at all times. As head politicians as leaders of our country should. Unlike the hysterical, fear mongering Liberals and their shock jock supporters. Tony Abbott et al is finding out now how hard it is to have stuff-all...

    "Australian Exceptionalism"

    And you. Even tho im atheist, i still celebrate with my kids. Re the article, what i dont get is why people support this bunch of fools. From the hysterical and ridiculous right wing shock jocks to the bunch of 'NO NO NO' permanent whingers in the Lib/ Nat party. Isn't it obvious what a bunch...
