Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle
It seems there is some level of consensus but that some are more evil than others who hold the same view. Perhaps because of how they express that view or how long they have held it.

Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle
Don't forget the only person that has used the word clever is yourself. Unsure why, prob because you expect everybody else to to act in some sort manner so as to ensure that they come across like they are unsure of themselves or looking for some sort vindication.
I still haven't received any response from you stating why you don't think it is a lazy way to manage your money bu putting it all into a super scheme or into property and i don't expect I will.
Do you think you are clever, or do you consider yourself to be quite stupid, is it better to seem unsure of your opinion so as to please other people?
)Maybe you should come across as a middle of the road all round average good guy? - that should please the masses.

Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle
Yeah that's right, I think I'm really "clever" because I have a different view than you, that's a nice angle to take by the way...

If it's the latter, then thanks very much, I'll take that as a compliment, if it's the former, well I really can't be arsed trying to come across as anything.
I do try to avoid coming across as pompous know it all, that most people would struggle to avoid thumping, if engaged in a face to face conversation

Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle
I agree that there is a way in which you can approach things to engender sympathy for your opinions, but where is the line between a statement of fact and a statement of an opinion held with conviction? I mean this as a general point because I believe Fluid36 has said he considers his own opinion fact so this is a moot (sp?) point.
I never said that everything I say is a fact, which is what georgieboy is trying to say.

Is that something I should strive for, or something you think I've already achieved?

By the way, this is quite enjoyable, despite the difference in opinion.

Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle
If you interpret something as fact then that is your problem not mine. As you have said, people have to form their own opinions. I have expressed mine freely here.
Not to the mods actually, just generally pissing and moaning a la "leave Britney alone".

Whenever I read your posts, I can't keep the Nelly Furtado song 'One trick pony' out of my head.

Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle
As I have stated on this thread, I am financially sorted and have nothing to be insecure about. You on the other hand, are very insecure with your constant need to tell us about your financial superiority and your need to talk down to everyone about it.
