There are no survey functions on the seabreeze forum and we are still waiting for the iphone app, despite endless empty promises over the past two years. Lies Lies Lies

Do you think Australia will be better off or worse off in 10 years time?

Are you kidding me Adolf.... In 10 years time we are going to be heaps worse off. My kids will be lucky if they can get a meal from a bin.

A half empty Plane is better than a Half full Plane.
Sometimes half empty is better

having read that 15% of the population of the USA is unemployed not to mention other countries like Ireland, Youth unemployment is 30%, this situation will continue to create a wider gulf of the haves/ have nots, crime, cost of living and environment issues, yep it will become more difficult and I think that comes across when discussed with my Kids, we grew up with opportunity now they grow up with pessimism, having said that my ancestors did it tough also, maybe its just one big cycle

Yep, I am RUOK. and thanks for asking.

I found that episode on Australian Story ABC1 earlier this week very moving. I'm sure it's on IView I'll post the link if I find it.

I'm just thinking out loud.

I think you just caught it in time Harry - it was yesterday. A colleague sent me a skype message about lunchtime- "RUOK mate?" I sent back "WTF is a ruok?"

Australia is a huge country with plenty of resources. We have everything we need.
If we're worse off, it's because we let somebody fark us.

There's always somebody trying to fark you so don't be lazy and standup for what you believe to be right and best for you, your family, friends and your country and things will be fine.

Sometimes I'm pessimistic about the future for my kids too.

I find reading about the past puts it into perspective.

Read 'Cloud Street', 'Grapes of Wrath' or any account from WW2 and you'll soon realise we are living in 'The good times'.

As for the empty promises from Seabreeze, I heard Laurie is too busy cruising the North West in his goldplated Land Cruiser and leaves the day to day stuff to his slaves in India
