    Bali Nine

    Really???? You got the evidence to back up that claim? I'd like to see the published evidence from reputable sources along with stats. Not some Reddit rubbish or similar dodgy opinion piece.

    Wage disparity

    Training to become a surgeon is an arduous and lengthy process. Basically, for a woman, it means putting on hold or choosing not to have children. Even putting on hold babies for a surgeon is difficult, as surgeons have a shorter career than most other Drs. This is single biggest reason why...

    Ausprop you have missed the point of my post. Nowhere have I said heroin is not harmful. However, it is NO more harmful than a myriad of other drugs we have, some of them legal and available on prescription or at the local supermarket. I have seen first hand what drug addiction is about -...

    Random Act of Kindness

    I would have thought the whole point is for YOU to come up with an idea. That would make the act more sincere, and the speech have more value. It can't be that hard, as you say in previous posts - you have a lot of time on your hands.

    Bathroom reno ideas

    It will be cheaper to keep the plumbing in the same or similar place rather than moving it extensively. There are many quite inexpensive tile options around and you can get many bathroom fixtures at good prices. Ebay often has some good bargains. I'd avoid Reece, they seem pretty expensive...

    America and its guns

    I've only met one person who survived a suicide attempt by gunshot. I've met countless who have survived a suicide attempt by less lethal means. It's not rocket science.
