    What's the Secret!?! How do you find the time to post so frequently?

    Thanks for the replies. So from what I gather, most people sneak in Somersoft reading and posting during their downtime - whether it be during lunch, after work, or in place of housekeeping! The reason I'm curious about this stems from how self-disciplined people are in managing their time...

    What's the Secret!?! How do you find the time to post so frequently?

In it she writes that 200 years ago, William Wilberforce ended the slave trade in Britain and founded the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to...

    Well said Belbo! I've copied below the thank you letter that Lyn White sent to those subscribed to Animals Australia: Dear Lisa, For thousands of cattle in Australia's top end, today is a day worth celebrating. After eight days of intense campaigning and public pressure following...

    Woohoo! Finance came through!

    Well done Belbo! :) I'm currently applying to CBA to get a top up loan on my first property so that I can use it to renovate my second property. I'm hoping for a good valuation outcome *fingers and toes are crossed*!

    Indifference, sorry to disappoint you, but your illustration has proven nothing other than that you like to play games. My logic was not swept aside for personal gratification, it was based on an analysis of your posts. As a researcher, I use Heidegger's hermeneutics to uncover hidden meanings...

    Indifference, Indifference, Indifference. You know, I was just about to go to bed and get an early night (if you can this time of night early), but you just had to go and make another uninformed post, and now I feel compelled to respond again. If you actually go back and read by posts (rather...

    So tell me then.... how do you know what is happening in china/india/vietman with regards to how they are manufacturing their products? You must have been informed about these unethical practices in some way? If you disregard ALL information that is reported in the media, well then I can...

    Tell us you biggest, darkest secrets. Don't worry, nobody will read this thread.

    Indifferent, You would be pleased to know that I am very capable of independent and critical thought. You will also be pleased to know that I was not LED to care about this issue due to media coverage. I have always cared about animal welfare issues. What the media did, in this instance...

    Piston, Why, I would LOVE to discuss the ethical issues and implications involved in purchasing products manufactured through child labour. In fact, this was the EXACT topic that I discussed with my students in one of my tutorials a few weeks ago, as I tutor management at university. In...
