Re #2: Who are these people who pay for porn? lol Re #8: Same folks as above, I guess? Using "porn" and "sex" as search terms...bwahaha. Re #11: Using "child pornography" as a search term? For reals? I guess NAMBLA members aren't too bright... Re #13: Entry-level IT gigs, huh? :D Also: "The...

Not necessarily true - we all adhere to culture norms to some extent, so if you were raised in a culture that promoted the burqa and you honestly believed that it was the thing to do, then is it still oppression? I guess I was just wondering out loud how free we truly are from our upbringings...

Resistance is futile. Conroy's filter will find it.

Lentern, Slidey...just send me a how-to-vote spreadsheet when you're done. lol On another note, I've seen a lot of "a vote for Greens is a vote for Labour!!!!" bullshit floating around. Are these people really too lazy to learn how to preference their own votes? And Existential, relax. Greens...

For parents though, right? I'd think that our generation, haven grown up in Australia, wouldn't really buy into the idea that race/culture is really a barrier. OP, I spot a problem: If a woman's oppressed, would she really be on teh internets? Can't speak for myself, but I have known savvy...

Greens call for a High Speed Rail Link | The Australian Greens Thoughts? I personally reckon that a Maglev-style link between Brissie-Adelaide that stops via major centres like Newcastle and Wollongong would be exactly what a growing population needs. But uh, does anyone here know a bit...

It'd be interesting to see what the response in Singapore has been... In theory, nothing suss, but there's always that fear of an Orwellian future government, isn't there? ...That, or some l33t hacking by the Chinese, which will culminate in a diabolical plot to invade Australia through...

Ooh, ooh, before :shouting: starts, here's a proposal: Post questions relating to climate change here - the science, the uncertainty, the policy options, the costs, etc, and we'll do our best to answer them. Just leave the preconceptions at the door? :guitar: I'm genuinely curious as to what...

Authoritative info on climate change science? A good place to start is the IPCC report of 2007. But let's face it - it's too long and we're busy people. The synthesised version for policy makers? Eh...still too wordy... I know! The super-graphic dummies' guide version from UNEP. It's much...

No one was sus about the guy trawling the net for gay fetish porn? Gaydar fail.

Do you think cycling is a good idea as a primary mode of transport? Great idea or impractical idealism? To kick us off, here's an objective segment from dear ol' Kerri-Anne... YouTube - Kerri Anne Kennerley show cycling segment 26052010

Much like staggered film and even music video releases, this is just ridiculous in such an interconnected world - all the labels and studios are doing are hurting themselves. Some people will happily download bootlegs just to get their hands on the product, but will still buy a legit copy when...

Sounds like a typical Korean game... lol No homo?

lol [+3] I'm loving the mini-floods around campus. I also love the fact that we have stuvac, however brief it is. Sucks to be UTS kids! Hello, end of session. I've missed you. <3

Re: Jesus fucking Christ - IDF massacres Turks on board humanitarian ship Guys, guys... Stop fighting. I wish that I could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles, and we'd all eat it and be happy again... :cake: Seriously though, THIS. As someone whose grandfather was an imam and whose...

Wasn't endorsing coal; just pointing out that we shouldn't jump eagerly from one leaky boat to another without an open and honest discussion of the pros and cons. Yes, human error tends to be the leading contributor to nuclear accidents, but y'know, we haven't a cure for that yet... And on a...
