One thing that people need to be mindful of is that a fair portion of time, bankruptcies are not the result of failure, but a desired outcome for the bankrupted.

A lot of lawyers (more accurately barristers and solicitors) declare bankruptcy on a regular basis. They do so to minimise the tax hit, both at a personal and corporate level. They also do it to wash their hands of any debts they've accrued and can't be bothered servicing. They move their assets and throw their hands in the air and say "I'm bankrupt". They'll have the primary house in their name and that's it. They'll still practice law, but for the duration of the bankruptcy (which can be as short as three years), they "earn" as little as possible. Their real earnings will go to a numbered account and when the bankruptcy period is up, they somehow manage to have a brand spanker S-class Merc sitting in their driveway.

Devious, perhaps but it is very much legal, in many jurisdictions, not Australia.

Liberals thinking they have the moral high ground by making threats of moving to other safe and secure White majority countries is racist in itself is it not...
Clinton wanted to increase Syrian refugee intake to the USA by over 500%, to 65,000. This would take the projected US refugee intake to over 200,000 this year with nearly all of them Muslim. Anyone who opposed was labelled the usual names by the tolerant left. If they are hell bent on importing such a foreign incompatible culture, they should be looking to move to the Middle East or Africa. Then they will find out what real racism, homophobia and mysoginy is. We have our own traitorous socialists such as the Greens doing their best to undermine our culture and destroy our way of life as it is. We don't want or need anymore. The do gooders need to put their money where their mouth is. |

I particularly like the complaints that Trump is "just a rich billionaire who doesn't care about the little people"...
While, presumably, Hillary was living in a trailer park on minimum wage. Every Presidential candidate has been at least "very wealthy" all the way up to "multi-millionaire" level. The more money the better as they can fund big campaigns. Some of the reasons candidates have been thrown out are ludicrous as well. Hillary has a very dodgy background...potentially much worse than Trump because hers has led to actual deaths and treasonous spreading of top secret info...but neither her nor Trump (who apparently said some nasty stuff about women twenty years ago) were disqualified. I remember Gary Hart running for president in the late eighties. He was seen as the great hope, someone who could be an amazing president with all the right qualifications and promises. But then someone found out he once had an affair, and bang, he was gone. What the hell did that have to do with being president?? JFK had numerous mistresses, everyone knew it, but he's remembered in the same hushed tones as Lincoln. They're a funny mob, those Yanks.... |

It was that cretin barrister in NSW who went bankrupt on numerous occasions to avoid paying tax by wiping out tax liabilities, and the legislation was altered in NSW so that such a barrister is considered unfit to practice law and is unable to get a practising certificate now. As she was saying this I was dry retching because he is the sort of person in law I despise. Funny how the very wealthy seem to turn a blind eye to greed in a friend, and some very wealthy place no value in the social equity and justice. And he is not soo successful dear- he is an abject failure of a human being who did not contribute to society. I did not say this- still stewing, to keep the peace.

Talk about counting your chickens......
"Newsweek and a partner that prints up special commemorative issues has been forced into an embarrassing recall, after it sent out 125,000 copies of its Madam President issue designed to celebrate Hillary Clinton's win" Hillary was photographed autographing this edition the day before the election.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...m-president-i/ Cheers |

I pity all the gullible people who believe all those paid 'scientists' on the matter. It's a fact we're due another ice age. The world naturally goes through cycles over centuries, so if we have 4 years where the annual average temperature increased year on year, it's all part of the cycle, nothing abnormal (never mind our media telling us we just had the hottest 6 days since 1965 and its due to global warming...) Anyone here wonder why that lump of ice up North is called 'Greenland?' Well, centuries ago the Vikings would inhabit it, grow their crops there, and live in this lush green-land. Over decades it froze over. Now, as the ice is starting to melt and Greenland returns to it's greeny pastures, all the hippies use it as an example of Global Warming, melting ice caps, penguins and polar bears suffering, etc, etc. I really hope Trump pulls through and shows us we don't have to accept the status quo, and in actual fact, we should be questioning a lot more, keep these pr!cks in the media honest.

It also completely busts open the 100% black or white, you said this 20 years ago, so you can NEVER be fit for office.People say stuff, sometimes it's stupid, but opinions can change.

Seems the only people happy about the election results outside the few who voted for a trump presidency are al-Qaida, daesh and several other 'Terror' organisations. Seems if he acts on his rhetoric in kind a call to arms against America may be further strengthened.

I love how the whole left world is jumping to conclusions. The guy hasn't even taken post yet and you all think the whole world is going down in flames.
There is a reason why all of America looks like it is backlashing on Trump, it's because it's all the new age, rich, hippy, hipster, facebook loving etc etc society are the ones who have a media presence. The rest of america is fed up with these people and their vote proves this. |

A photographer sets up time-lapse photography posts at prominent glaciers in Alaska, Canada, Rockies, Greenland, Iceland, Alps, & the Andes, & displays the results. Here's a (poorly edited) 9 minute cut from the documentary looking at a few of the glaciers in retreat. You say that Greenland is becoming Green again. It's not; it's bleeding out. Here's some stuff from NASA, you know, the guys who faked the moon landing: http://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/carbon-dioxide/ Quote:
Vietnamese. Italians. Germans. And now when civilians, including professionals, are trying to escape their collapsed countries and/or start a new life, either as refugees or immigrants, it's different? I'll put my money where my mouth is. I'm heading to the middle east next year for a holiday. Not an explody part, because who in their right mind would head in to a war zone? Oh, that's right, those are the places you try to ESCAPE FROM. Like, I dunno, refugees seeking asylum? The next time you pass someone on the street who isn't an anglo aussie, why don't you do the aussie thing & say g'day, instead of automatically assuming that they're out to blow you up and bash your wife/sex your daughter, whilst taking your job *and* welfare benefits? |

EV's are based on the total population of each state. Thus California with a gazillion people counts for 55 EV's, where as a less populous state like Alaska gets 3 EV's. Clinton winning California contributed almost single handed to her popular vote numbers, she also got 55 Californian EV's, but the county map of the USA (blue V read) shows exactly why she lost. Blue Square mile V's Red Square mile is where the democrats got pounded. This is exactly the mapping here in Australia, where much of the Australia volume votes coalition. All Trump needed to do is retain the 2012 republican sates and turn around a few states to win. He turned around 5 previous democrats states into republican states. BTW: So many people have had a gut full of Clinton/Obama. 42-46 Million people living day to day off food stamps for the last 8 years may be an indicator of how utterly hopeless Obamas/Clinton policies were. |
