"PJ O'Donovan" wrote in message oups.com... ..ridiculous claim about the long queues outside Australian hospitals. There are not such queues just as there are not similar fantasy queues outside Britain's NHS hospitals. John Rennie If the Australian and Brit socialized medicine schemes are the panacea you are spinning, The Canadians could sure use your help with theirs. I'm not a spinning a panacea, I'm telling you that you are a bloody liar and as you refuse to react against my accusation you are also gutless. |

You were a proven liar in your exchange with Susie concerning the Brit Muslims celebrating 911 and you are merely again proving yourself to be a pathological liar. You do sound like James Noles at times. Euro |

You were a proven liar in your exchange with Susie concerning the Brit Muslims celebrating 911 and you are merely again proving yourself to be a pathological liar. Anything that is proven in your eyes is immediatetly suspect. There were NO street demonstrations in Britain commemorating 9/11. Susan wasn't lying she was merely mistaken. She mistook the queues outside a mosque that DID hold a celebration of that event for a demonstration outside it. But then again rightwingers do get mixed up about queues. |

I'm not a spinning a panacea, I'm telling you that you are a bloody liar and as you refuse to react against my accusation you are also gutless. If I have a problem I go to the local bulk-billing medical centre and have it sorted out. The small one at the end of the street has a queue length of about 45 minutes if you don't make an appointment. The one at the local shopping centre will have you seen inside 5 minutes for an extra 10 minutes' walk. I have no private health insurance not for financial reasons but as a matter of principle, BTW. What is there to spin? Note to self: abandon principle and get private health insurance - it's a good tax dodge as the government is propping up a lame-duck example of private enterprise with tax breaks and subsidies. -- Mr Q. Z. D. Remove luncheonmeat (truncheon) to reply. |

The building of dams in general is now under fire. The Aswan Dam virtually 'disappeared' Nubia and the Three Gorges Dam is doing the same for two million probably more Chinese as well as flooding some of China's most historical sites. Its ecological impact will be immense and unpredictable. We interfere with nature at our peril but it's taken most of the 20th Century to realise something our forefathers absorbed with their mothers' milk. |

DFM Took 6 weeks to drive casually Melbourne to Cairns, asshole. Got off the highway and stayed couple days in many towns on the way. Spent a few days in Manly and took ferry from there to spend some time in Sydney again. Spent some days in lovely Noosa, skipped Surfers Paradise and Brisbane on the way. Have returned to Noosa 3 times in a beautiful condo across from the beach since then we liked it so much. Stayed over a week in Cairns before going back to Honolulu. Yes, Quantas had direct flights then, if they don't now. Took day trips from Cairns to Kuranda/ Atherton tablelands, Port Douglas for day boat excursion to Barrier Reef and drove up to southern part of York peninsula to see rain forests on another day. I am not suicidal, asshole , and didn't go all the way up. On another Australian trip, we flew to Ayers Rock and since it was Feb, it was hot as hell and didn't climb the rock,( Uluru?- I'm sure the old lady here will correct my "nomenclature' if it is wrong). Just looked at the rock from the beautiful hotel there and drove out to the base on a day tour. Some asshole Kraut on one of the many group tours there dropped dead climbing it that day. We were there several days and the group tours are a nuisance. One day all Germans, the next day all Japanese and finally all Americans from CA area who were the worst. We then took a greyhound bus to Alice Springs which I thought was really neat and would love to go back but i will not have a camel meat burger again. All made up and we know it. The reason why we ALL know that you are lying about your Australian safari is that ridiculous claim about the long queues outside Australian hospitals. There are not such queues just as there are not similar fantasy queues outside Britain's NHS hospitals. You're a liar and that's something that you just can't get over. The bull**** detector blew another globe on that last one. How sad do you have to be to make this crap up? -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- Er? Me or him? |

No such queues have ever existed. He must have driven up during Stand Outside a Public Hospital Week". What a prize tool. I reposted another part of our exchange posted in 2003 documenting that the public health care system in Australia may not be the panacea some here are trying to advance as part of their political agenda. This has nothing to do with any political agenda. It has to do with you telling incredibly obvious bull****. You do realise that "PJ" has never been anywhere near Australia, yes? That would not surprise me one little bit. You don't just casually drive up to Cape York for one! Well, you *do* have to admit that PJ's rubbish is rather fun to read ;-p -- Best Greg |
