    At no time did I call you a communist - I said you whinge repeatedly about big business and bosses bleeding the "poor workers" and sound like a whining socialist. (There is a clear difference between socialism and communism - perhaps you missed it.) North Korea was just a more extreme suggestion for someone who thinks the "poor worker" is treated unfairly. If this country is so hard on the "poor worker", it's more likely to be unpalatable to you than it is to me. I don't have the aggro towards big business that seems to cause you so much concern.

    It's called bulk discount, more you buy, cheaper it gets.

    I presume you are still talking about gas??? In which case - yet again you have demonstrated a clear and complete lack of understanding of the subject at hand. OE producers of gas will sell it on a world market for whatever they can get. They will not and do not sell it overseas for less than what they would get for it here. Why do it? It makes no sense what so ever.

    I do think you are confusing the retail price a consumer or end user pays which has no end of variances of state and federal taxes, distribution charges and retail margins which change substantially from market to market. They have nothing to do with the price Woodside Petroleum (ever heard of them?) or whoever the OE producer actually gets for the product.

    Bleating is what sheep do.
    You're more of a sheep than I am

    With your obvious admiration for big business does that mean clive Palmer would be your favourite politician at the moment?

    of course he isn't. Clive doesn't believe in what Calaber believes in, so Clive is therefore a communist.

    Is this post of yours what you'd call a useful contribution?
    If it is then I can start posting stupid pointless pictures and usefully contributing to the topic

    All politicians are bullies just have a look at them around the table , they scream , and abuse each other carrying on like little children , they try to set guidelines in the workplaces and run campaigns on tv to stop bullying in all areas , but yet they are not setting example to the rest of the country. With their children like behaviour in parliament I wonder why the country in a mess.

    You might as well. Your posts are all stupid and pointless, so why not add a few pics to liven them up?

    And no, I don't like Clive Palmer any more than you do.

    I sat in the viewing gallery at parliament a few years back when I was visiting Canberra. The filth that came out of some of the (then) opposition MP's was disgusting. Petty name calling, heckling and even outright abuse. But then the other side was just as bad.

    That's what I'm talking about , if it was you or I or anyone in fact we be sacked for doing this in the workplace , so why don't they , they need to clean their act up and set an example to there country fellow men and women , every time they start this stupid behaviour they should get a fine , this behaviour is not tolerated in our work force so why should they be any different .

    Maybe they were bullied at school, so now there the bullies now.

    Posts like this simply reinforce the perception that you have something missing internally between the ears.

    Big deal. I've asked you a number of questions over the past month or so and you haven't even attempted to answer them. And Jester's right. You don't need much between the ears to just function. One of your mates on this thread is living proof of that.
