Antiseptic,
Thanks for picking me up on the spelling error. The word I was thinking of was expodential, not expedential.

Dan S. etc

Do you have a cold?

Surely you mean exponential?

I believe that exponential is a particular case of expodential, which is the more general term. 

Getting back to enforcing dress standards, I heard on the radio this morning that an increasing (not necessarily expodentially) number of clubs and pubs are refusing entry to men wearing business suits, as they are trying to establish a more casual atmosphere.

Runner, make sure you have your "England at night flag" draped across your shoulders "Hansen bogan" style on Australia Day January 26th when you celebrate the arrival of the first boat people, well what else is it your celebrating? Gee those were the days, you could chain the boat people up like slaves, men women children no difference, whip them, rape the women, didn't stop them coming though?
When did the Aboriginals arrive? When was the last Ice age, to make access here possible, just like every other great migration in history?
As for banning the Burqa, why stop there, why not follow secular France and ban all religious symbols, get the religious cults out of our public schools and make it illegal for religious extremist idiots like Nile, Bernadi, Abbott and the rest of David Clarke's illiberal party religious Reich to sit and infest our Parliaments.

you might loathe every good bit of civilization and progress brought to this country by the British. I take it you would still like to be wandering around in the desert with no electricity or any advancements in thousands of years. In fact you probably would not be alive with life expectancy among the first people when the British arrived.Don't however let your hatred hide the fact that people in the millions want to come to this nation largely due to what was built by the British and other immigrants that has made this place so attractive. You obviously also believe that in some warped way otherwise you would go somewhere else. A little less loathing and a little bit of thankfulness for the sacrifices of our forefathers would go a long way especially with bleeding hearts like yourself. Then again some people will always be happy to run down those who have given them such a good life. Yes I would like to celebrate the formation of this nation but certainly not celebrate the way loathers like yourself display a hatred for all that is good.

Dan S de Merengue:"I believe that exponential is a particular case of expodential, which is the more general term. "

You can believe what you like, but you're still wrong. It would be "expediential" for you to simply go silent about now, I suggest.
