I dont really know how to go about countering what you posted, because i am not against anything exactly and some of it makes sense. Workplace harassment....well we have legislation in place to deal with that now. I dont know of any other way you can really crack down on it, most of the...

"To make women equal with men" see, is that actually a wording problem or am i just seeing things? i think a better objective would be "to create equality between the genders" because feminism seems to focus primarily on advancing their own gender, to create equality in areas that are male...

To me it means promoting females and furthering their rights above all else, especially to the detriment of men. It means special treatment in some cases where it favours the woman [e.g family law] but attempting to eliminate that special treatment in cases where it is detrimental, i.e equal...

surprisingly, i am on the fence with this one. Usually i would err on the side of being liberal, but for some strange reason Irons arguments make sense to me. I am not particularly pro IVF for anybody, but if you have to give it to someone that otherwise wouldnt be having kids, then select...

batten down the hatches! Theres going to be climate change no matter what the world does, even if every country bands together to try and prevent it, the best we can get is it wont be as severe. The truth is, that Australia can do very little in the scheme of things, even if we all stopped...

so science is a load of crap? In general i was talking about older kids, say 8,9 maybe 12 but even then if the 2yr old doesn't understand something is wrong, whats the point in hitting them at all? just pick up the stuff the knocked over and put the kid in the trolley. If they cant even...

Getting drunk and beating the shit out of your kids isnt "teaching" them anything, especially if they dont fully understand what they did and why their actions were wrong. Corporal punishment has many adverse psychological affects, and whilst it shows strong short term compliance, it has never...

nah stuff it, just dump more fluoride in the water, its a lot cheaper. Dont we allready have the option of free dental anyway? i thought you could go to a hospital or some clinics and get free treatment... Most people can afford to pay it, and even the most severe dental problems are very...

Do what you want in your own home with your own kids, but nobody will ever lay a hand on my kids but me. The first "old school' teacher to try is getting dragged through court. Kids arent animals, they are people. Bad parents beat their kids and scare them into doing the right thing, good...

I have no real emotional objections to this, it seems like a good idea to me, i just dont see any really strong reason for it, or many good ones against it. If it was up to me then sure, go ahead sounds like fun, lets get more land! NZ can join the party. Maybe we could just slowly...

lol thanks? I kinda got tired of him neg repping me continuously for like 6 months. Especially when it feels like i contribute a lot to this forum, and dickheads like him ruin it

Dont they allready? i have yet to see a homeschooled kid at uni, i think they just dont get good enough marks to get in.

Its bad enough that they refused to treat someone multiple times and then they died, but the undercurrents of racism involved are even worse. I would rate Australia as on the higher end of the racism scale socially, but people dont want to see it, all they want to see is that we are a great...

I could see how it might be real. He probably knew she wasnt that keen on the idea allready, maybe she was just happy with the status quo, or liked the relationship but didnt think he was marriage material, or just plain wasnt ready yet and then he tried to force the situation by making it...

Did you read my post? i said free market. What is the price for life? If i needed an organ or i would die, i would sell everything i had, take out enormous debts and everything just to make sure i had a chance to live. If it was heavily regulated, restrictions were in place, waiting periods...

It just doesnt seem fair. I am an organ donor, to me it seems like a wonderful thing that if i die, at least someone else can use my organs and live, i can give a part of myself, give the gift of life. Its distasteful to think that if this organ free market were alllowed, i would be pressured by...

pretty badass. Reminds me of that guy who stabbed a bear to death with a pocket knife

Excellent, we should have been doing this 20 years ago. We have huge ass deserts and plenty of room to store waste so its not a problem. Coal powerplants pump out far more waste and smog and greenhouse gases and not enough electricity and cause cancer with their own waste.

I have no idea, i am not in the army so i can only speculate at their mindset and what they specifically object to. I have mentioned a few possible problems they might think are serious enough to consider like fraternisation being a current problem in the army especially when female officers are...

I am sure the army would have other reasons why they shouldnt, but i would be all for a trial to see if it works out. If they pass all tests and have the right mindset theres no reason why they couldnt atleast try it out to see if it worked ok.
