when am i "going on" about it? i mentioned the figures to show that your stupid "i have contributed more tax money than you ever will" nonsense is stupid. if the starting salary is £30k+, i'm quite sure i'll be contributing just a fine and dandy amount, thanks. and it's the last profession anyone goes into 'for the money'. jobs with 7-8 year training windows don't generally tend to attract the 'quick buck' characters, or the money-obsessed, especially when you could be promoted to a very handsome salary in the business/private world in the same decade-long span. so no, i'm not "going on about money", i'm rebuffing your utterly stupid and vapid comments about "i've contributed so much tax money cause of my amazing salary, hurr durr". i very much doubt you made enough in that 5-10 year interval to 'out do' someone who will have a well-paying job and no intentions to join their parents in retirement abroad. thanks.

also there is no rule on when someone makes professor. some can get a full-time lecture/reader job in their 20's. some get made professor in their 20's or early 30's. others not until they are 50+. impossible to say. not that it really matters. it's a very decently paying career and contributes more than enough in both taxes and public service. you'll have to find some other arbitrary thing to brag about alongside your tiresome racist rants.

it's a given i'll be making £30-50k by the time i'm in my late 20's/early 30's. which is enough for your stupid 'tax contributions' argument - which is built on a principle of sand, in the first place - to seem thoroughly ridiculous. can you stop talking about the money now? it was just a side-point to my main defense of polish immigrants. you are more than welcome to check university vacancies to see what the salaries are like. there's one on my alma mater site right now for a lecturer position, 2 levels of seniority below a basic prof, which advertises £46k a year. these positions pay a perfectly adequate tax contribution.

i always wonder what it is about hard-working immigrants that makes people like dilbert so nervous.

now now, i think even virulent bigots like dilbert are against the idea of forcing immigrants to build cities and live in some of the inhospitable central regions of australia.

Hard to convince bigots like dilbert to let people in. Apparently letting migrants in would put a strain on the australian environment. some idiots have been reading too much jared diamond environmentalism.

yeah i should say that this definitely isn't just restricted to right-wing and racist bogan types.

What causes riots? That’s not a question you would expect to have a simple answer.

But today, Marco Lagi and buddies at the New England Complex Systems Institute in Cambridge, say they’ve found a single factor that seems to trigger riots around the world.

This single factor is the price of food. Lagi and co say that when it rises above a certain threshold, social unrest sweeps the planet.

The evidence comes from two sources. The first is data gathered by the United Nations that plots the price of food against time, the so-called food price index of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN. The second is the date of riots around the world, whatever their cause. Both these sources are plotted on the same graph above.

interesting idea. ties in a lot with the meat/over-consumption arguments we were having i guess. also about that pesky 'racial disposition towards violence' that dilbert likes prattling around.

King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz is clinically dead, according to reports from London-based journalist working for Asharq Alawsat (reported on Press TV).

The Saudi Arabian monarch, who has not been seen publically for many months, is reported to have been dead since Wednesday following failure of his heart, lungs and kidneys.

The king is said to be alive only because of the use of a ventilator, however no official word on his condition has yet emerged from Riyadh.

The royal, who turned 89 this year, has been in declining health for many years. Reports in 2012 suggesting that he had died transpired to be false.

the ironic thing about dilbert and his racism/bigotry is that australia's economy and its 'place' in geopolitical matters/the world market is entirely being given a rise by... asian powers. dilbert wants to cuss asians that want to immigrate to australia because "they're not white" and don't assimilate entirely into a white-european derived culture... but then he's fine making investments and watching his bank account grow because of an australian economic boom... floated and helped in part by... asia. ding ding ding. gotta love racists.

No different than the redneck bitching about asians and how they stink while chewing down some dim sum or chicken chow mein.

All traditionally white places like RSLs and ton's of fish and chip shops are run by asians now. white people in aussieland are getting scared of asians taking over. 2nd most spoken language is mandarin and 1/3rd of high school students are mandarin speakers. azn invazn motherfuckers.

waiting on some tard to say how overpopulated australia is. I've been hearing people say that. Pretty funny.

the nimbyism in this country is pretty ridiculous. there's a fairly long list of economic reasons why we should be aiming for substantial population growth RIGHT NOW while we're in the economic penthouse of the world, but people - regardless of political orientation - seem weirdly frightened of it.

Population growth is simply a lazy politicians way of achieving supposed economic objectives.
Its very easy to achieve GDP growth through open immigration.

The countries which are doing well at present are the developed countries with low and stable populations, and productive, advanced and efficient businesses and/or natural resources, not those which let in unskilled labour or encourage people to set up subsistence businesses which are really a drain on the economy.
