    IMPORTANT - Youth Decide...

    Who cares what Australia does, we have very little impact on whats going to happen anyway. We could all start living in mud huts and completely do away with cars and modern technology, we wouldnt even reduce global carbon emissions by 1%, it would be completely unnoticeable. Likewise we could...

    Melbourne CBD 'safer than public perception'

    So basically, the raw number of assaults have nearly doubled over just a couple of years, and they want the residents of that area to not be worried...lol This is the best bit So assaults have doubled, and they are much more violent[i guess that means more murders, stabbings, gun crime etc...

    Hackers bring down PM's website

    Sure, watching something is not hurting anybody so go ahead, it shouldn't be a crime to watch anything. Neither is being a pedophile against the law, sexually assaulting kids is[and should be] but being attracted to them is not. Also, do you REALLY think that this filter will be used to...

    Towards Religious Tolerance

    I dont see religious views as exempt from criticism, if an atheist wants to call a theist delusional for beleiving in something without evidence...Thats the broadest example i could think of, on the whole, christianity is quite capable of taking criticism, they dont try and behead people for...

    Use of the word 'gay'...

    Who cares. Its about the same level as calling someone a girl for doing something perceived as weak or inferior "get up you girl, it was only a light tackle!"

    Michael Jackson Dead

    He was a fucking wierdo and a paedophile, he hasnt made anything relevant in 15 years so his death didnt bother me at all. One less pedo in the world, i dont fucking care. Having talent at something doesnt excuse his offensive behaviour and molesting kids. Hitler could paint, lets all mourn...

    Pirates Need Jobs - The Economist

    Are you asking how to solve this problem? Easiest solution might be something along the lines of forming armed convoys for that portion of the trip, or each cargo vessel is armed to a small degree [something on a lesser scale that privateers] because i thought these retards basically rock up in...

    schapelle corby - innocent or guilty?

    I dont know if she is guilty or not and i dont really care. Their laws are idiotic and backwards. They think its just to give someone 20years of even execute them for weed" for a plant that grows in the dirt? weed shouldnt be illegal in the first place, but even our country realises how crazy it...

    Aussie values?

    What kind of thread is this? but yeah aside from your standard set of western values, we do apparently have some different and unique ones, the normal ones might just be expressed differently and we also order some things in terms of importance different to other countries.... a good example...

    Necrophilia yo

    I guess you could consider the body as part of the deceased estate, so the heir i.e their spouse, children now own it. If they wanted to, maybe they could rent out the body to a necrophiliac?

    What are your rights?

    I dont want to die. I would think thats a pretty logical, and almost universal stance. Living in an Australian prison doesnt seem so bad that i would prefer to give up my life. Maybe if there was an actual compelling choice, like being tortured for 50 years then death, or instant painless death...

    When is it a baby?

    I dont really know, these things are really hard to determine. Some people like to take different ethical stances on this. The safer option is to just say "at conception" that way you dont accidently kill a whole heap of babies because society previously thought that at 6 months fetuses cant...

    Is rape actually as heinous as its made out to be?

    I guess it depends, not all sexual assaults are the same. In one case it could be a wife putting up with the drunken advances of her husband, or a date rape scenario, then compare this with the brutal rapes we had in the 80's where women were gang raped and beaten nearly to death. Both are wrong...

    What are your rights?

    I think you have a right to life and a right to try your best to protect it through any means necessary, thats about it. Everything else i can break down as a construct or a necessity of living in society. I cant think of any situation though where i could judge someone as wrong and not having...

    I make $400 a day begging

    I dont give money to the homeless... I figure if they really wanted the cash they can either work for it or sign up for the dole, its not hard. As for "living expenses" yeah i guess its expensive to live in the inner city, but you are a bum you cant afford to be picky. Move somewhere thats cheap...

    Should women be allowed to serve in the infantry?

    I do like your contributions. I am probably just being ignorant, my exposure was probably totally minor compared to general intake. I just know that the area near me does indeed have a "need" for psychopathic traits [whiich can also be pretty hard to detect btw] but they do probably get...

    Should women be allowed to serve in the infantry?

    I am sorry, but i think you have a poor understanding of what a psychopath is and what the army select for. A psychopath isnt what mainstream think they are, very few of them actually kill anyone at all or go on crime sprees, its a clinical diagnosis for a set of abnormal personality traits and...

    Should women be allowed to serve in the infantry?

    interesting theory, do you have any evidence to support that?

    What is Australia's worst free to air news?

    probably prime. It isnt even news, its always crap about someone being ripped off, dodgy contractors, something about ethnics and then gordon ramsey. If i want to hear about news i dont get it off the idiot box, but sometimes i might watch Q and A or something like that, so abc is the best for...
