I think, in order to keep ourselves completely inclusive and avoid discriminating against others and different cultures or genders, we should no longer name our children. Instead, they should all be addressed to by number. This way, everyone is the same and there is no reference to any one culture or gender -- everyone will be neutral. :star:

Well an Obama style left wing government has just been elected. Makes a lot of sense actually.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

We don't know that for sure. Congress may be mostly full of Democrats, but there's still a slim chance a Republican could win the presidency. If that were to happen, we'd have gridlock in government. That'd be the best outcome, since then nothing would get done and the people of this country could effectively run it themselves -- without government intrusion.

I think he was meaning Kevin Rudd in Australia. Rudd being more liberal than John Howard (Which - lets face it... wouldn't be all that difficult).

Oh! Sorry about that! I guess I immediately thought of the U.S. in that respect, since we usually talk about American politics in here. I should have known better, considering the thread was over Australia. :blush:

This really doesn't make any sense.When I say "This is my husband Ivan", I'm really happy and proud of that.If someone said "This is my partner ..." for his spouse, how would I know whether they are married or not?

No clue. I suppose they'd say you could tell by the wedding rings, but eventually, I could imagine the PC Police wanting to get rid of those as well.
