yab-bot,

I think I perfectly 'get' the point you are making. I just don't happen to agree with it.

Why am I not surprised to find myself reading, yet again, a repeat of much of your immediately previous post (and who knows how many posts before that?)?

In the mean-time, yab-bot, please just keep on repeating yourself until at least Christmas 2010, if getting in the absolute final word in this forum is going to make you feel better.

*I hate moving house more than almost anything else I can think of at the moment. That's one reason I
hate, with a passion (as you may have gathered from
http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=6697&page=0#100368), Australia's privatised
housing market which has destroyed housing security for so many of us.*

Your words Daggett, letting your passions interfere with ability
to reason. All around you people are buying homes and doing well.

Perhaps its time to examine if Daggett is the problem or if the
rest of the world is the problem.

Interesting that on a housing affordability thread, you never had a
word to say about Gottliebson's comments. Perhaps you hate me with
a passion too, just like that evil housing market :)

Sorry, but I can only reason about the facts, not deal with your
emotional states. That's for Daggett to address and deal with.

You seem to be getting a little desperate here - playing the man and not the ball, as they say.

If, instead of being a little passionate about things, I was an emotionless software agent, programmed to roam over on-line forums and fill up every potentially interesting discussion I could find with posts assembled from paragraphs randomly retrieved from a database of right-wing pro-free-free market stock phrases, until other contributors gave up, you would, perhaps, consider me a more credible contributor?

Of course they are, yab-bot, and they are both working and each working two jobs and taking out mortgages for terms of thirty, forty and even more years, and commuting for two three, four or more hours every day.

*You seem to be getting a little desperate here - playing the man and not the ball, as they say.*

ROFL, says Daggett, who has spent most of this thread doing exactly that :)

Frankly, I think you still haven’t faced the fact that Aussies in general are
not interested in your extreme left wing politics. Have you ever thought
of migrating to Cuba? Fidel would be so proud to have you and you might
even get your own shack umm house.

I dunno about all this hard work that you claim everyone is doing. Gen Y
it seems, prefer just to blow the lot, they have other plans for their
futures.

Somehow I don’t think its going to work out for them as they think.

No doubt yab-bot will not delay in providing us with abundant examples of where daggett has for "most of this thread" attacked him personally.

That's also so original. This forum just seems to be getting so much more stimulating and so much more challenging the longer it goes on.

Of course - NOT

my elder daughter is 27

she started buying her house when she was 21. She adjusted her mortgage recently, using some of the value increase which improved her equity to fund purchase of a new car, mini cooper s.

She is single. Earns around $60k pa, in a company she has been with for the past 7 years and has 1/2 drive to Melbourne St Kilda Rd office precinct (non-rush hour travel)

Oh since she was recently promoted at work, she asked me about a second property which she has decided she can, as a single person afford oh and footnote, she is the happiest person I know, content but not complacent in her life.

The "Norm" is not the sort of economic basket case you seem to promote as examples.

Maybe it is just the company you keep or maybe it is simply what you are capable of aspiring to.

and this "yabot" thing makes you sound like the deliquent girl character in Little Britain, the one who is so dim she seems to be dangerous in charge of a vagina.
