I now take what you say with less than a grain of salt. Your topic and your Thread awaits you in Relationships. How about you prove you are not all piss and wind for a change?

I do not believe you are a published anything and I certainly do not believe you wrote the OP.

poor diddums. cant cope with the fact that I actually write well? And when I get a serious and willing participant in The Challenge then I wil do it in the open and in the general forum and not run by an illiterate dimwit as yourself.

I watched the writing challenge with some interest. Seemed to me that those who were dissing the writing as not belonging to the poster presented no evidence and morover failed to respond to the challenge laid out by the one that was affronted.

Major fails.

Then aussie wanted to get involved and move it to a forum over which he had control. Shocked

And I noticed that though the challenge was to write a piece that was contrary to the writers natural philosophy I can see much mischief making in future quotes being made and attributed.

This forum is all levels of dodgy.

Maybe it should be reduced to its essence, those that dissed the original post put up...or not, and that it occur in the thread where it originally happened. Keeps it all neat that way.

There is nothing really special about a tax on Carbon. It is perfectly saleable as long as it does not increase the overall tax burden. That equates to making it revenue neutral by the complete elimination of other taxes with the revenue generated.

There is a good case to be had for eliminating corporate tax and grossly inefficient taxes like stamp duties. Taxing carbon is relatively efficient and difficult to avoid. Stamp duties just act as a restraint to people doing business with each other.

However, your observation "Bill Shorten has impressed no one with his political nous" is the obvious hurdle.

on my local news today.. we were told our electricity has come down by $500 pa thanks to the removal of the carbon tax....

I am hoping that is so true.. because we are having a very cold winter..

if it means putting back $500 on electricity I cant say as he will be popular....but then hes used to that isnt he??..

and labor are stuck with him.. boo hoo...

The proof is and always was self evident. Melielongtime's usual writing/posting standard is crap, yet suddenly, he produces something which meets average levels of 'English.' We now have convincing proof, given he was set a topic which he naturally would not support (something vital to his challenge)...he was given plenty of time to prepare his essay....at the stated time, his Thread was opened....and it remains empty, thus confirming what I suspected. He is a flake.

Odd you would see it that way. All I did was get the challenge (initiated by melielongtime) past an impasse of melielongtime's creation, set the topics as he wanted, and provided the Threads. I also was able (because I can control to some extent trashing of Threads) to ensure the participants had a fair go. Melielongtime can still post his essay on incest, yet, of no surprise to me, he has not. He is a proven flake.

If there was mischief, that was the result of the terms of challenge set out by melielongtime.

'Neat' is exactly how it was set up. It is still very 'neat' and there is a gaping vacuum where melielongtime's essay is supposed to be. He is a proven flake.
