^ Don't get precious - you're the one who advocates for bigger government. This is the result.

I don't recall advocating bigger government.

I don;t recall advocating smaller government either for that matter.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

The government should be small...? Hooray dictatorship!

Oh wait, what does Brownlee do?
Dictatorship!

So by advocating for a bigger government we've gotten a smaller one.

What is your arguement again? It kinda looped around and voided itself.

The warehouse my office is co-lo'd with (attached to) is like that. Making a mental note not to go in there for a few days. Esp with how close to the port hills it is

supposedly.... I will try and get confirmation, that's just over halfway for the demolitions. Obviously a few biggies still to come down in the Park Royal & our own leaning tower.

She is going to be a very very big barren area. The more I see it like that the more I think the CBD will never be back.

Adelaide just had another.. Tremor?

Near Coast of South Australia, Australia.
Magnitude: 3.3 (ML)
Depth: 17 km
AEST: 19 October 2011 @ 02:52:25

And that was much bigger than the last one we had last year I think it was.

Funny thing about it is, the epicentre or what ever you call it, was right below the shopping centre which I have just got a job at, and if Adelaide was to have a proper quake, that's apparently where it would all go down.

Sister City of Christchurch. I guess it's appropriate.

If you have comprehension problems you can always sound the syllables out...

TofuEater · Reply #2223 Posted: October 20, 2011, 09:00:18 am

No i don't. But seeing as you've gone to all the effort, why would i waste my time when you can tell me what's going on?

Ngati_Grim · Reply #2224 Posted: October 20, 2011, 09:36:34 am

Perhaps because you bring a different perspective and may pick up on things I don't consider important?

You're old enough to be cognisant of how things were before Mr Google and friends, when we all had to actively engage our grey matter rather than use the collective 'dumber-downer'.
