Does Gillard inspire confidence?

[Calliope]

And possibly open the other eye and see that there actually is another world out there.

If you are looking for the most one-eyed contributors to this thread, you, Macquack and explod win hands down. You have obviously been well indoctrinated.

Contrary to your claim, you have never shown any evidence of thinking outside the square. You think like a party hack.

Please open the other eye. Just try it. I guarantee you it wont hurt. You will be a much better person. I'm sure that somewhere within you lurks another side. Back to stocks, I have a couple firing up today and by thinking outside the square I am making heaps and heaps.

If Abbott had re-invented himself as many times as Gillard, he would be a total laughing stock. Imagine what the media would have done to him if he had come out this week and told us that "now we would have the real Tony"...

Well, if people did recognise this than he would already be a total laughing stock.

Compare the 2007 Tony (his acidic response to Kerry O'Brien's question about meeting Archbishop Pell when he was caught out as lying is hard to forget) to the family-greeting, faux polite 2010 Tony ("A cup of tea? That would be ab-sol-utely fantastic") and there is no comparison.

Spin is something both parties do - trying to pin one party for it over another is something I do find amusing.

Very strange, considering that the side you obviously support is anti private enterprise. I suppose you donate some of your "heaps and heaps" to support the unions' propaganda.

I can't get this picture out of my mind of you going down the mines as a nine year old to support your family during the depression. I think you are full of it.

Nine yes. Mines no. You should pay more attention.

My apologies for a bit of a diversion, but I just have to thank the posters on this page (sails and drsmith obviously excepted) for a really good laugh at the insults you're all throwing at one another. It makes for very funny reading.

Sails, I share your concern about the Greens. Most of those people saying "I'm so disappointed in the two main parties, I think I'll vote for the Greens" have no idea that they represent anything more than hugging trees and stroking frogs.

dr, I noticed the loss of the red also.

I have no eye dear what you are talking about nioka. What is this "heaps and heaps" you are refering to? Try and put it in a context that I might be able to understand and I will see if it really is "heaps and heaps" of what?

The Greens have gone well past tree hugging. The policy that I am most behind is for the thrust for education world wide to be focussed on women. In this I am talking about the opportinities to be created for women in third world countries to be educated to at least tertiary level. Even slight actions in this direction are doing amazing things in parts of South Africa.

In a generation this would bring about controls over population growth, aids, poverty, religious extremism etc. This is thinking outside the square. As a Greens supporter I see a new ballance with Gillard that may at least get other thinking outside the square too.

So maybe we should wait and see.

I don't think it is amusing at all, especially Mq's foul-mouthed advice to noco and me.

It's still Red Anna's favourite colour.

Interestingly I have read articles recently suggesting that female education levels are the prime driver behind a slowing birthrates and harnessing population growth.

Can't say I would want it to be one of the major issues an Australian political party is focussed on (we do have domestic issues that are more pressing and more appropriate for our nation government to focus on), however would support international agencies tackling the problem.

I can explain it with one word. STOCKS. I'm having a great day. Mostly green and some healthy gains. Heaps and heaps of profit, beats politics. Got to keep both eyes on the ball. Aye aye.

PS. Never did have confidence in Gillard. Haven't a lot in Abbott either and a lot less in Brown. However with one eye it should be possible to see that Australia in doing better than the rest of the world if you don't count China.

TTY is a good one nioka .... up nearly 21% on 2nd August. If you bought them on the 29th July at 26.5 cents then sold a few days later at 32 cents you would be doing OK. Let' see ... 400000 shares means a 22k profit in a few days. Now that would qualify as "heaps and heaps" to me.

Joolyah Gizzard on the other hand is running scared and I heard that she admitted that Tony Abbott just may win this election? What a strange thing for a PM to say in the heat of battle. I also see her hair needs a colour through it. Her roots are showing. I also note that the Henry Tax Review has been put to sleep. Not a peep about tax reform on this election campaign from the Labor camp?

Agree that 'heaps and heaps' is pretty meaningless. Reminds me of another poster a while ago who consistently talked about what good profits he was making. When pressed for detail, he revealed that this constituted about 6% over a few weeks!
Now maybe we could leave stock discussion out of the general threads.

 

[Calliope]

On a lighter note.

The cartoonist have concentrated on Julia's red hair, long nose, long neck and big rump. I wonder when they will include her big ear lobes.

Sorry .... was just trying to establish a rudimentary guide for "heaps and heaps". I will have myself taken outside and shot for this faux pas of talking stock related matter in the General Chat pages. *tongue firmly pressed against cheek*

She can't help what she was born with, but she COULD stop the nonsense she is dishing up to the "Austrahlian Peeople" whom she must be hoping are total idiots.

Anyone else noticed that with every stuff-up she simply walks away - never to be mentioned again. Maybe the "moving forward" thingy is a reminder to herself to ignore the blunders.

Gillard refused to debate earlier, but now she's changed her mind like a spoiled child and Tony cops the blame...

She must laugh at the stupidity of the "Austrahlian peeople" ...

Still waiting for the real Tony to start the election campaign currently we just have a puppet run by the faceless men of the Liberal party.

Gillard's demand for a debate and Abbott's rejection is a stunning insight into the two camps -- Labor fears it is ebbing out of office and the Coalition has succumbed to frontrunner status. Abbott now listens to the faceless men and Liberal spin merchants telling him to avoid any face-to-face encounter. What happened to brave Tony?

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/nat...-risky-arrogance/story-e6frgd0x-1225901379334

BTW which is the real Tony scripted or un-scripted

 

[nulla nulla]

If the real Tony Abbott opens his mouth and departs from the carefully prepared script he will lose. From this point, all he has to do is keep his mouth shut and let Julia Gillard self destruct.
It would appear that the knife attact on K Rudd was premature and the Australian populace isn't as ready and willing to forget this. The glamour of having a female prime minister was short lived and now the substance behind her is starting to pale.
