that is not good. :(

I think the Labour Govt's paranoia of what people are bringing into this country is at a critical level.

If its not bad enough the Herald Scum continues to run Boat People stories every other week, people are bombarded with scaremongering media which only serves to reinforce the problem.

Look at somewhere like Amsterdam in Holland. Its practically a conduit of vice, drugs and porn to the rest of the world let alone Europe.

However they have a relaxed attitude towards it, a perfectly stable society and economy and proves without a doubt that being militant pr prohibitive only makes the root problems worse.

It's a form of enforced behavioural suppression ultimately, and people don't respond well to it.

Hang on a minute, there must be more to it than that?!?!? :shock: Surely?!?!?!?! So what about couple's that make their own for themselves?? What about pics you might have of your partner? 'Porn' as a word encompasses loads (haha pardon the pun) of stuff, surely they would have to be specific with what they mean!?!??! :shock: :?

Australia, the new China. Fucking hell. :roll:

Its getting ridiculous. might a well vote liberals in, they will be hopelessly convservative, but it looks like rudd's convinced we need to do that anyways and at least they wont be so focussing on spending.

Labour has been pissing me off no end lately, i admire their courage but simply don't agree with their policies.

But fuck me if I can vote Liberal. I was previously a Liberal voter, but Julie Bishop as deputy there is no way in hell I would vote Liberal. Look what she's done now

http://www.theage.com.au/national/austr ... utostart=1

I simply cannot believe this woman. She was briefed on a security related matter and then took the first opportunity to use the information for political purposes. She should be sacked immediately IMO.

"St Kilda coach Ross Lyon says the club will not name the players who are alleged to have made a Melbourne schoolgirl pregnant.
The AFL, St Kilda and the Victorian Education Department are all investigating the girl's claim that she fell pregnant after having sex with players she first met at a high school football clinic in March this year, when she was 16."
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010 ... 909570.htm

"Mr Burgess says the case shows more needs to be done to educate players about appropriate interaction with students at the coaching clinics."


LOL Did I really just read that last bit? lol, knuckle-dragging, tree-swinging mouth-breathers.

I wonder what form such 'education' would take? Put them in a room with a bunch of schoolgirls and smack them over the nose with a rolled up newspaper everytime they bar up?

it must be very hard for footy players to maintain their morality and composure with so many lollipop sucking, knee-high sock wearing, nubile and taught schoolgirls throwing themselves at them.

very hard indeed, I feel for them.

a complicated issue, compounded by media hype. the adult male brain doesn't reach maturity generally until ~25 years of age, as is clearly demonstrated.

the social experiments yanno.

i reckon i will check that doco out, but i reckon i will also not be surprised by it hey

i don't get it, i mean yeah footy players are pretty hot (some of them anyways), but the fact that they are obsessed over by fans, have to play on weekends (no social life) and hang out with men all week talking footy, i don't get the appeal :?

Caught this on the news last night. The lady who was stabbed and burnt alive died last night from her horrific injuries. It was quite shocking though that they showed the siege on prime time.

all it does is encourage the rest of the world to build the interwebs around the US. if it gets passed the US will have the delight of watching lots of IT investment ceasing to be in their country and very quickly moving elsewhere.
