HOWARD MIGHT RESIGN TODAY

Apparently he's been approached by Downer and Turnbull to resign. This came from my friend at the Australian Associated Press who knew that Bracks was resigning before anyone else did. So lets all hope she's right.

I'd drink champagne to that one!

What a pack of assholes. You buy a car like a Hummer and you have to expect that people will look at it.

Thugs
True, but the kind of dipshit who would buy a hummer is also the kind of moron who would punch you for looking at it. To anyone considering getting one: Don't. They're fucking stupid.

And driving a stretch hummer is the equivalent of writing "my penis is almost as big as a 5c piece/my vag doubles as a greywater storage tank" in texta on your forehead.

Could. Not.

But what possible reason would someone have for buying one? I see two that are from North Melbourne somewhere, and i mean really, if you live in North Melbourne what the fark would you need a hummer for?

To all the hummer and 4wd mothers out there that use them to go to the supermarkets and school picks, may i thank you for your extra double effort at farking up our planet in double quick time...

Because IMO they're pimpin...they look sick, can fit heaps of people in them and would be awesome for camping n all that kind of shit.

If i could afford to buy one and the cost of petrol i would buy one for sure. Would be more of a weekend thing though ya know, not really that logical in city living.

This makes my blood boil. Scientists across 3 different countries have labeled aspartame safe for public consumption. Their test? Oh no, they didn't conduct any, they just reviewed the 1981 information provided by the corrupt FDA in the US. And who funded this 'research'? A Japanese company who makes aspartame.

It would have to prove the statements were false, that they were made in malice, that 2Clix actually suffered damage in the form of monetary loss and, critically, that Wright had intended to cause 2Clix monetary loss by allowing the material to remain on the website.

it's pretty unlikely i reckon. how will they prove that intent?
