Chicky, the native people of Australia deserve our admiration and respect... As for commission based jobs (this is the correct way of saying it) I don't think they'd work too well for anyone just out of high school as yourself...they seem to be more effective for those experienced sales...

I'm confused? Wasn't the point of a democratically elected government always to represent the people and their ideas? I didn't think a 2020 Summit was necessary to achieve that? Rudd must have failed Primary School HSIE.

An Israeli supporting Neo-Nazi... HA! So you don't like what the republican candidate says? Let's take a look at what the Democrats have to say: and

I stand with Sderot 60 years on. Sderot is an Israeli city within the internationally recognised borders of Israel. At the end of 2006, the city had a population of 19,800, its population in decline with estimates that up to 25% have fled the rocket-ravaged city. Many who remain cannot...

Yes, I'm aware South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world - but I don't think (from what I've heard from my Anglo South African friends) that it will have much effect on tourists. Culture shock isn't a problem - the streets look clean - a fresh change from South-East Asia...

Well yes I'm sure they don't want to be somewhere where they're being "genocided" or killed for their sexual persuasions by their government... so then I'm sure they want to go somewhere where that doesn't happen. Australia is one such nation.

If one is so vocal about their dislike of this country they should leave. We'll swap them with a Sudanese orphan or Iranian homosexual who actually wants to be here.

Each year we make it a habit to holiday overseas. I'm dying to see South Africa and need as many reasons as possible as to why it's a great destination to convince my mum! Anyone who has been to South Africa, any reasons why you loved it would be great!

I can't go to United Arab Emirates unleess/until I get a new passport. But then again I have no urge to go there. Canada would be beautiful, plus would love to go to Alaska (yes I know it's not Canada). I'll be living in Switzerland for a year in 2010 :D

The RTA sign overhead of Epping/Longueville Road near Lane Cove and the Pacific Highway today was advertising World Youth Day saying "88 Days to go" I think the government initiative and support for this event is great, and I hope it will continue despite complaints from the irreligious...

You either: a) Haven't travelled much. b) Haven't read much about the rest of the world.

TacoTerrorist, Your List Why should Israel be responsible for keeping a list of those killed in their military operations? Lists of victims would be contributed by the families of the victims (just as was done for the Israeli children), and/or those (whom according to you - the world)...

Funny that this thread should be resurrected. Today I read of an 8 year old Yemeni girl who was granted in her divorce to a 28 year old male... but don't worry guys as the husband said ""marriage was consummated, but I did not beat her." http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=447721.

For those who want to go to Iceland, Norway or Sweden - I'm with you there! Same with those that want to get around to South Africa: hope to get there at the end of the year. As for the fans of Egypt: I've heard those that love the history there really enjoyed it. I travelled there at the...

The social well-being of the child (there is a good chance that they are under 18) must also be conidered by the school, and whilst some of you may be accepting of the students' right to bring who they want to the formal the fact is: 1) The school makes the invitation and so should be able to...

John Howard had humble beginnings as well... in fact, he had it all!

"All Iraqis are to be treated as hostile until proven otherwise" - You think the Iraqi police said that about themselves? That's US martial rule in Iraq. :) Hence it has to do with America.

The United Kingdom, America and South Africa aren't "shit". I'll grant you that Kenya is and with relation to Iraq, those are orders given to US troops in Iraq so therefore it isn't really Iraqi law.

Similar things happen around the world. Security forces in Northern Ireland were accused of operating a shoot-to-kill policy, under which suspects were deliberately killed without any attempt to arrest them. Similarly, a South African government minister said "South African police must...

Additionally, I asked for 'indiscriminately' 1) The girl was in a no-go zone as the IDF were ratting out militants. The soldiers spotted a figure carrying a bag and approaching them. The soldiers fired shots. When the soldiers and "Captain R" approached the threat to "defuse" it (meaning they...
