Unfortunately they don't have a representative in my area, but they have won my vote as of now. However I don't support voluntary voting because technically actually voting isn't currently compulsory. You don't have to "vote" but you have to show up and put a paper in. Kinda pointless.

I am aware of that. Doesn't mean he won't try (and succeed) to get his ideas legislated. The problem with the party-representative democracy system is that if you announce you support a party (such as the Greens) then people will immediately assume you support every one of their policies. Which...

If he gets the power he will do so. He will enforce his ideas on others because that's what governments do. Socially they are by far superior to any major party. Economically they have understandably divided reception. I remember reading their policies and most of them are good. Some of them are...

"Rudd should have been supported because he has a better chance of holding a Labor majority." ...what?

Should have supported Rudd.

I just reread the post and I don't remember why I quoted you.

It was a Grammar school. She was provided the facilities, resources, and opportunities I'm sure (as an ex-student at a Grammar school I feel qualified to say that). She obviously squandered these opportunities. She doesn't deserve compensation. Lawsuits are ridiculous. It gives individuals...

I've got one of those. They aren't very useful. I was 2-3 days away from my girlfriend for nearly a year. I broke up with her afterwards, but I might move to Melbourne and she lives nearby so it could work. But you need to consider what you want. Don't get so attached to one person and make...

I also want to see New York simply because it's fucking massive.

It would be like a zoo for fat people.

I also really want to see the quietest room in the world

Scandinavia and Germany mostly. Love the northern ice.

I go by myself. I don't care. Sometimes it's good so you get an unbiased viewing; people don't talk to you about the movie while it's still going.

Both are pretty poor leaders. I've already mentioned before, and I will mention again, that although I hate the Liberal party I would vote for them in an instant if Malcolm Turnbull was leader. Both major parties are pretty poor. I think we need a third party to step in.

Discouraging independent thought Encouraging judging moral absolutes Obedience without question Denying evidence Single-mindedness and bigotry Chastity and asceticism Overall lack of intelligence due to above list. EDIT: Maybe the distinction between "belief in God" and "religion" should be...

Of course. But many people still believe it. The claim that it was "written by God", however, I think refers to God channelling his will through the mere mortals who actually did write it. Or something like that.

1: Who cares? 2: Who cares? 3: Who cares? Community volunteering is irrelevant to politics. 4: Makes sense for economic policies. 5: Who cares? 6: Fair enough 7: Who cares? 8: An atheist is far superior due to their values and decisions being unaltered by fantastical theological beliefs. An...

Precisely. I hear a lot of people say the bible was "Written by God"
