Re: them cityrail moments Why would you catch that train from Town Hall? You waste 10mins going back to where you started

I've been thinking about building a website with financial advice for youth E.g. youth allowance, relevant tax deductions, super co-contribution scheme details, first home saver info Do you think people would use it?

Lol that was the guy who banned alcohol in the ACT, with an exception for parliament house

Good thread... -This guy is "threatened" by homosexuals, referring to them as a "fact of life" -Also, Abbott on the ETS vis a vis this paid maternity leave scheme: ''there are a number of very important differences... it's a much more comprehensible benefit which is going to be delivered; a...

What the hell are you talking about lol I was saying you can make cultural inferences from looking inside people's houses (nothing about touching stuff etc haha) Im not saying one culture is better, just that Australian culture does exist

Short answer: No But, that doesn't mean you can just declare that none exists. It certainly does not mean that these so called "culture-less" people are in need of some good old Islamic values because you decide that their lives are incomplete The 2006 census saw 37% of residents record their...

You've taken it way too far right there How dare you make the implication that Anglo-Celtic Australia has no legitimate culture - this is testament to your complete and utter ignorance You cannot "integrate" into a culture which you refuse to recognise the existence (and prevalence) of - nor...

This story is from the UK

That was tongue in cheek lol , but come on dude it's time to give up when you have to resort to attacking ppl based on the words they use I dont actually agree with your theory about tall poppy syndrome

Good thread topic... I find politics very interesting (issues rather than theory though) but bringing it up in conversation is not the done thing Its especially concerning when you consider how much certain policies affect some people (e.g. YA changes that so many students seem ignorant of)...

What was that you were saying about tall poppy syndrome?

WTF are you talking about? We're not arguing about the cause of bullying - you've tried to justify it (implying it's acceptable to undergo an atavistic regression when you're picking on someone): ...and I've given lots of reasons why it has no place in today's world - and I dont care if the...

This is exactly why modern science and technology developed after we ditched the hunter-gatherer model of civilisation that wasn't getting us anywhere Even the biggest nerd/potential bullying victim can gain recognition for their achievements in a society where we express ideas through...

Minimum wage at 18 = $10.02 Most 18yr olds are desperate for work - from the POV of an employer, why would you pay more for a complete beginner to the workplace? Anyway man, dw about starting wages... I started on $10.30 at a cafe and resigned 7 months later on ~$15.80 (2 payrises) - you just...

I reckon I got the value from mine back, if only just... really depends if you're into famous tourist attractions. Also, they sometimes define child as up to 18 - if you're 19+ then you're better off with one Anyway its only like $20 right? NB: Dont waste your money on the YHA/ISIC combo...

*These "emotionally retarted, socially crippled" people still mate, just with others like them... so bullying is actually empowering the creation of more kids just like the ones you like to bully, but with double the emotional retardation *Just because these kids might fail in the playground...

Did anyone see the documentary on ABC about the emergence of 'sex' in the 1950s? I was startled by Kinsey's statistic that 20%+ of males had experienced homosexual desires... and this was when homosexuality was an extreme taboo that a lot of people would never have even heard of

Dude this is complete BS When I was a little kid I was teased mercilessly for several years; looking back - these kids didn't actually dislike me, yet what may constitute tame bullying from an outsider's POV was sufficient to pretty much destroy my self confidence in social situations This...

I reckon state gov is for ppl who want to see their views translated into practical improvements (e.g. better transport, urban design, sustainability, less homelessness etc) - the federal government is all very ideological and while important, policies take much longer to filter through the...

And MSN works!!
