If swearing makes people take notice of the political process, then it should not be frowned upon. The prudish reactions from many in the weekend papers over the event was almost nauseating. lol, I wonder how Iemma will explain to his kids.

Marriage makes people less inclined to cheat on their partner, which is a good thing and beneficial for society as less people cheating on each other will raise levels of happiness. Unless it's a bad marriage where a person's spouse is an abusive alcoholic and having a secret lover is the...

You betcha! NSW ALP eternal!!. (JKD, it's not that he can't pronounce the word, just that he delivers it in his snooty eastern suburbs accent).

No matter how bad Iemma gets, Debnam will never win. Debnam pronounces the word 'renegotiate' as "renegociate".

I liked this quote when I read it last year, I like it more now.

They have, for now. It is still apart of a tiered response plan to any fall in future damn levels. If capacity falls to 35%, the aquifers will be mined. If capacity falls to30%, the desalination plant will be built. Why though they plan to recycle only 13% of Sydney's water, I don't know...

While the reforms may meet the extremely specific needs of the worker in the example you gave, not all workers are uni students unavailable for work throughout the year exept holidays. While your friend is content to forgo overtime rates for the small part of the year that he actually works...

The State Government owes the companies involved $10 million, not $120 million. The rest is for the purchase of the Kurnell land and the construction of a pilot plant.

Stupid SMH. I think the Iemma Government deserves at least some credit for acknowledging the wishes of the community and deciding against the plant for the forseeable future.

What is more important than moderating this place?

I strongly advise against the publication of the school name. It will severely curtail the students ability to fully express themselves. Portraying the school in even a slightly negative light could result in harsh disciplinary action.

Re: Wheatgate Shrewed and oppurtunistic but keeping in mind that it was illegal. The term 'sanction-busting' is not to be taken lightly. And considering that an Australian company was paying a regime that Australian troops would eventually end up fighting, serious questions of ethics start to...

Wheatgate Looks like the shit has really hit the fan. Interesting to see what Cole has to say on the "scope" of the inquiry tomorrow. (Whether the Howard Government personnel should be interviewed.) The US isn't happy either. (RE: Beazley today- "We've got the US Congress breathing down the...

Most contexts can be manipulated to incorporate sex if it is desired enough. Personally, hygiene concerns are enough to deter should a secluded, clean bedroom be unavailable. And you will still crave, you just won't be able to releive it if a sex-free context can be found.

Wow, I had no idea such laws existed. To arrest someone for giving/receiving oral sex isn't utilitarian at all, unless it was taking place in an obvious public area in full view of unknowing bypassers. (And they could be charged under indecent exposure laws rather than blowjob-specific).

Our streets are secular, and you're are a religious whackjob fuck.

It would be hard for the Liberals to maintain a majority without the Coalition. We don't know how many current Nationals voters would vote if the National party was disbanded. While it is likely many would turn Liberal, I think an idependant candidate would do well espousing a line of...

There is a valid utilitarian argument for anti-bubblegum laws though. A clean city is much more pleasant to walk through for the greater population than is one tainted with discarded bubblegum pieces.

Re: the word 'racism' What right do you have as an Anglo-Australian to force your culture on Australians of differing ethnicities?

Well at least you have backed down from your initial Colonise-The-Desert idea.
