I absolutely, fundamentally, basically agree?
Or should that be, I basically, fundamentally, absolutely agree?
Or then again perhaps, I fundamentally, absolutely, basically agree?

Agree Agree Tracey, just a couple of things, the IQ Tests maybe that should include politicans as well.

A perfect analysis of the social media, i honestly dont give a rats if someone argues with husband/wife, and professing thier love and then not thier love, are things no longer kept private, instead these days it should eb all out thier, i dare say no it shouldnt.

We have Facebook adding a small tool automatically where it shows where you have logged on, of course most will want this no not me, i do like my privacy

16. Propose legislation that anyone found to be dressing a dog, cat or other animal in “cute” outfits should be forced to wear items of the animal’s choosing every second day.

20. only those who are actually net taxpayers should be allowed to vote. If you’re dependent on government handouts, being able to choose government is a conflict of interest.

21. Old people should fund their own retirement rather than being dependent on the State. This will take 40 years to ramp up to avoid the legitimate argument of ‘I’ve paid taxes all my life so I’m entitled to a pension’. We’re going to tax you less now, you’ve got 40 years to save for your retirement.

22. State government to be abolished, but instead of all their powers going to Canberra, we decentralise them to local councils, who now decide on hospitals, police, education etc.

23. Give most of Canberra’s powers to local councils as well, including taxation. Councils decide how much GST and income tax to charge, inctroducing a bit of tax cometition - if people think they’re being taxed too much they’ll move to another council area.

24. All Canberra is left with is foreign affairs, defence, maybe a high court of appeal. Not only that but they are beholden to councils for their funding, not the other way around.

Nicely said.  SKY is that where your hiding, I dont watch that.  Can you take over the amateur Ten Late news from Sully, her obnoxious flirting is making me not want to watch news.
As for the discussion, who shrank everything? Muesli bars, and more snack size. You need to eat all 6 to get the same amount as 1 old bar.  A cheeseburger is more like a Junior burger.  Nothing comes in a decent sized serving anymore.

Matt Newton turns to drugs, after seeing his father do pitiful tv for the last 20 years.  Oh drugs please make 20-to-1 go away.

Fashion.  Nothing fashionable has ever come out of Fashion week.  Yesterday they were trying to tell me nanna undies are back in.  I must disagree.  I’d prefer to see something suiting the figure its on, and nannas dont come into any category I want to see.

Children need some some smacking.  They dont need to be beaten to a pulp like I was.  But some sort of smacking is acceptable.  Look at the animal world, they will still bite or smack their young to teach them there are consequences for their actions.  If a parent doesnt want to smack their child in public when its a nuisance, it should be the right of a person close by to do it for them.  Am sick of unruly child brats carrying on in public, especially grocery stores!
Im not a fan of pokies, or tolls, scrap them all.  Finally Brisbane got rid of their booths, 20 years too late.  Why should i have to stop to give someone money when they are holding me up from flying along a piece of perfectly good road.
You have permission to harm yourself.  Just dont ask me to pay more tax so you can get the care you want after it.   But also, if you want euthenasia, then go right ahead.  Less people taking up hospital beds for no reason sounds excellent to me.  Less complaining how bad the health system is, when the ones that are too far gone require most of the care.

Local councils plan ahead and dont over populate areas.  Then due to their bad planning, bring parking metres in to regulate parking where there are now too many people and cars for the size of the area (Bowen Hills for example).

Politicians banned from making smear campaigns.  And who cares if Abbott wears budgie smugglers, aussie men have been wearing them for years.  Then again, ive never seen Gillard do anything sporty like, and I think id prefer not to see her pastey whiteness in any kind of sporting outfit.

News outlets and websites, report news.  Not who is shagging who or this one seen smooching this one.  Leave the stars alone, and only report if they have something to say properly.  Stalking them to death (Diana) or heres So&So; topless on a beach, unacceptable.  Harsh penalties should be there for anyone crossing these privacy boundaries, euthenasia possibly.  Leave them to their own lives.

Electronic road signs, report actual issues the correct way,. not their propoganda they are currently spewing at us.  “Tailgating causes accidents” etc.  This should be correctly “Keep left unless over taking” or “Are you holding up traffic? keep left”.  If your being tailgated, you probably arent keeping left at all times, or not going fast enough.  “Swerving causes accidents”, if people were keeping left, people wouldnt have to swerve to their left to go around them.  While we are there, make people learn to drive properly.  Lack of driving ability and poor vehicles contribute more to accidents then speed.  But they always have to say Speed is the issue.  Not the fact that none of them could drive, or should have been given a licence in the first place.
Bring back duty of care for oneself.  If your stupid enough to fall down a hole or trip over a gutter, stand up and brush yourself off.  Its not someone elses fault you have no dexterity or agilty, and therefore shouldnt be able to sue every other man and his dog for compensation you dont deserve.

My 2 cents… I could keep going on but i must do some work, since i get paid to do it.

You want to smoke, drink, take drugs, pour transfats down your neck, ride a superbike in your jocks, play the pokies, or dance with the devil in the cold moonlight ... fine by me. Just don’t ask me to pick up the tab for your medical bills, gambling debts, or the loss of your immortal soul. Okay?

Here’s one for that list… Lets solve the pollution problem right now by closing down all coal power stations and building nuclear ones. They are very clean and reliable and we have hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of what is already useless wasteland to store the spent fuel. I’ll go a step further.. we should sell waste storage to other countries.

No, the IQ test should be on the BALLOT PAPER.  If you don’t pass, your vote gets put into the ‘alternative ballot box’, ie the shredder.  Would make for some very interesting election results, I’d think.  But really, who wants people with intelligence making decisions, when it’s so hilarious having stupid people do it instead?  Nice easy questions, naturally.  Nothing harder than, say, a second order differential equation, or some simple vector calculus..
