He's also ignoring one of the fundamental facts about scientific inquiry. That science can only address observable measurable phenomenon within the physical world. Well, not really. It's perfectly within scientific method to observe certain things (with or without the ability to measure them), deve...

No, it's been on most years. Was canned this year after being planned initially. There always seems to be "issues" surrounding exodus.

NNSW nods Don't listen to anything these guys say!!! hahaha unless you enjoy underage parties, doomed to get shutdown, underage drinking, bottles being thrown around, car windows smashed, items stolen, being disrespected & taunted etc. this counts for the majority of events in the area... Regre...

K, so to start with I am an ignorant pig who deserves to rot in ignorance. I saw most of it but could not be bothered with old mates future scenarios (pure speculation) and skipped through some of his more droney bits. My opinion is essentially that I agree with a lot of his interim conclusions but ...

You guys are being really whack again.

And I am obviously completely naive. Fair enough, carry on.

Another way to look at the work hours/value equation is to concentrate instead on the structure of corporations rather than tax law etc. This is getting a bit off topic, but anyway. I currently work for a public company and have worked in the past for many different structures of private companies a...

It's like a husband trying to apologise more or less constantly for cutting up his missus and leaving scars on her. It's not going to do any good, all you're going to do is piss her off more. What the fuck is wrong with you? you still are under the delusion that im the one with the problem. Stop be...

Has anyone mentioned the illuminatists part in all of this yet?

There's no real point mentioning any role they may appear to play in this as they are just another minor front of the reptilians anyway and anyone who thinks otherwise has clearly been duped.

Ever heard of quality time? Down time? Me time? Free time? You gotta ask yourself, how much time do I have? So, you know, what do you want to do? I think it comes down to where you find your own balance at a particular time in life. For some people, work is their pleasure and leisure and they manag...

In a cruel joke played by the universe, today I started work at 8:30am and finished at 7:30pm. I ate lunch at my desk. I am now absolutely rooted and not in the frame of mind to be thinking about this. Today I don't resent that, but only because I was enthusiastic about what I was working on. That'...

I think (although I could be wrong) that fnarky is referring more to people who work long hours for low pay in areas of low specialisation, particularly repetitive and monotonous work. For example the standard these days for call centre workers is an 8.5-9 hour day with an unpaid half hour lunch br...

^Photovoltaics does sound interesting! And wind projects are unfortunately very sad - they tend to be sold and repackaged from developer to energy company many times before they are ever built. There are probably only 2 major players who actually take wind projects through to completion in Australia...

For the very specialised engineers/scientists who work with me it means putting in probably 10 years working at least 50 to 60 hours a week following post doctoral research to develop practical skills from a good theoretical base. What do you do exactly? I am an engineering geologist/rock mechanics...

^It’s an interesting list. I am not sure that you would not end up creating an even bigger social divide between rich and poor with some of that as an unintended consequence – redistribution of wealth along those lines rarely seems to work as hoped, but anyway. For instance Thatcher quite succes...

In answer to the British 'Young and Wasted ' article, here's some of another- Andrew Hankinson ( How graduates are picking up the tab for their parents' lives", Observer Magazine ): "Don't blame us baby-boomers for the tough circumstances you and many young people are now experiencing. We...

Yeah, I do get it, and I don't see it as a sell out at all. I just find that stuff really hard to listen to after so many years of it! Having said that. I think maybe the mobile DJ thing is easier than doing the "house" DJ thing at a bar where you have to keep it just on the wrong side of ...

I just don't believe you're doing that. I don't think I could. That sucks so hard

Does the response to the point that one disagrees with have to include the obligatory grammar critique, personal insult and general effort to make them fell bad about themselves? It does not merely have to include, but indeed necessitates it you unctuous and unlearned idiot. Oh cool, thanks for cle...

^ Well that was helpful debate. I guess we all get the forum we deserve. You and all 17 of you or however many are left posting here. Perhaps that's worth thinking about. No, your just piss weak if you'd rather have someone be 'nice' and pleasant to you rather than actually tell you what they think...

You total fucking moron. How about I throw you a couple of fricken bones here ok? 1. You could ask all Indigenous Australians how they feel about it. We have the technology and the means to communicate with each other, this is the 21st century. 2. You could follow the established protocol for consu...

I think a day separate to Australia Day that celebrates Aboriginal culture would be a good thing. Has anyone asked them how they feel about it? I made an "Aboriginal Thread" on this very website, it hardly raised anyone's eye brows! IMHO, Aboriginal culture is an underground culture and t...

I kept up just fine. You're playing with words. What you think it is, is very much what you think it should not be. You did finally answer the question by saying you do not think we should have it at all. Thank you. I don't have time to watch TV, so will give 7:30 report a miss, but thanks also. OK...

Do try to keep up . . . . So that's what I think Australia day is . Get it? (You'll notice there's no mention of what I think it is not ) As for what I think it should be about... well I don't think we should have Australia day at all... but I do have a few thoughts about what our national identity...

Where this country went wrong was in the in humane treatment of the Aboriginal people when they had arrived here, but it was far from an isolated case for the British coming from an empire that held practices that would make many cringe. What happened to the stolen generation is not that indifferen...
