The cultural implications it could have and maybe the need to clearly define our culture before it's too late. If I could go back to the guys who federated us i would ask 'if it wasnt broke, why did you fix it?' Sure this is out of character, but it's election year and im apparently lil jonny

Is it just me, or does this forum become more tabloid by the day?

The centre is a myth...there is no such thing unless you're apolitical. Haven't you heard of "labour right" (latham) or liberal with a small 'L' (left)

Everyone is keen to compare this crisis with how other countries have handled it. Australia is very unique being the largest country-continent and all...it's fairly easy to just 'land' here. Other countries tow the ships out way before they land. It would be VERY irresponsible for a government...

Hmmmm. At first I was very monarchist because I thought that it was our roots and culture, which it is, but after reading an old speech by keating about the republic im starting to swing that way. The monarchy and all things british will always have a special place in australian hearts, but...

Ke? Cuba is paying for the education, not the students, therefore it is a huge cost to them. Pull your finger out, Cuba is dangling on a thread and frozen in the 50s...you think it has a red future after Castro dies? HA!. Cuba was to the USSR as Israel is to the US. Without extensive and...

It doesnt go deep at all....it just ties in nicely with democracy, like we dont go cutting off hands as punishment, the aim is to be humanitarian

"Alexander said in a thread before he doesnt worry about global warming because its not going to happen in his life time." *slaps with glove* If my memory serves, the context i said that in was extreme sarcasm, obviously indicating this is true, but not a responsible attitude. How dare you...

Yeah, he is bordering on the more extreme side of catholicism, but at least it's theoretically a releftion of his electorate and people and [insert usual democracy crap]

Damned Mel Gibson...he's started something i tells ya

Yeah, Christian ethics are still what a lot of our laws are based on. I mean, we dont need to call ourselves christian, but there's certainly no harm in going with the vague teachings of Christ, which is essentially good for society, despite personal beliefs. The only exclusively christian...

Stupid pentecostals. Yes the egg and rabbit are pagan, but the christians of europe eventually incorportated it into their beliefs...the egg = birth and rebirth, the rabbit = furtility of christians. When will they get with the program?

Most people I know under 20 just want to be different....the most common scenario is the conservative and experienced parents, with kids growing up and trying to break with tradition, they basically evolve into tree huging lefty fanatics....or they might have very loving hippy parents....or a...

Pope shmope, we dont need to be confined to religion here.

Im not sure i understand, dear

Although American culture is much more clear. I mean, at least there is honour in a legitimate 'birth'. We cant even agree on that...we're getting so politically correct that we cant officially agree where 'australia' begun...they wont to get rid of icons on botany bay and no one in sydney would...

The political alias' aren't all bad. I mean, someone might admire, yea, love they person they choose to symobolise themselves. It's a beautiful thing.
