Small world: ancestral homes

[ricketyclik]

Depends. Are you poor? There's no such thing as a gain that isn't ill-gotten.

I can't claim I haven't benefitted, but still, it was wholly out of my control. It's not like I can give it back, as the original steal is no longer mine (my ancestor bought out my ancestor's boss). I do own a suburban block, partially, but really, giving it to some random Aborigine won't solve the whole conquistador (I forgot the correct term - I'm drunk - but you know what I mean) thing. I totally sympathise with the displaced people concept, but I didn't do it, and I can't fix it.

You don't need to convince me. God is the one whose forgiveness you should seek.

I've been dead. God doesn't exist. You're clear.

Your statement depends on the fallacious assumption that, if God exists, He must necessarily want to talk to you.

AH - that looks like a rather small house. How much would something like that go for in Sydney?

In the current real estate lunacy? It would be nudging a million dollars.

When the family bought it way back around WW2 or before? maybe 200 pounds ($300 dollars).

If god existed, he would be consulting with me on a regular basis.

The house directly across the road from us sold at auction for $1.6 million this afternoon.

[Alexander's Horse]

This one which is 4 doors up from us and looks just like ours sold for $1.406 million last month.

I can't honestly say I feel a regular need to consult with you. God has unlimited access to Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare, etc. Your lack of a near-death experience was just you being too low on the totem pole to even get the on-hold music.

Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare,

couldn't pump their own gas... reset the time on an alarm clock after a power outage... or create a simple marquee in HTML

they were big fish in a small and primitive pond

[The Mad Monk]

I think you are making unfounded assertions about the next world.

[Berzerker]

thats some expensive property, around here they'd go for 100 to 300 grand
