He was just following what his parents told him to do and what his older siblings had done.

This is an interesting topic. http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090311/NEWS/903110341/-1/SPECIAL58 But hey, there's nothing wrong with cutting a tube in half to get all the product out. Does anyone find that they dislike spending money but also dislike how...

Thank you for that post, I appreciated it. I would also like to say that a skeptic is only that way because they place value on evidence. If any significant objective evidence arises, they will not close their mind to it. It's not right to say that nothing will change their minds. People who...

This event was not about women who think they "can do whatever the hell they want". They're stupid kids. There is no reason for you to bring up the bad feminists AGAIN. You seem to have real issues about this.

I have recently moved an amount into an AMP account at 8%. I just moved from BankWest, because after the first year the rate isn't so good (7.1% or something like that). They are interested in getting new customers, but not in keeping old customers happy. The TeleNet saver is 8.1% now, are you...

If you had studied law, perhaps you would realise that there is no issue. With your example, of saying "nice dress" or whatever, it can only be sexual harassment if a reasonable person, in the alleged harasser's position, would realise that the comment was unwanted. A simple compliment cannot...

Reasonableness is a requirement, but not in relation to the victim's perception of whether they're being sexually harassed. Section 28A of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 defines sexual harassment as an unwelcome sexual advance or unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature,in circumstances where a...

A little bit off topic, but I just read a story about a homeless guy, and he said to the interviewer that she was two bad decisions away from being just like him. Although this man was an alcoholic and had bouts of mental illness (depression). I find it offensive that a homeless person would say...

Not sure about that. It's kind of a pathetic way of seeking revenge, isn't it? Considering that the claim is baseless and not going to go in her favour...not much revenge there.

What a ridiculous comment. Just because this woman made an inappropriate complaint, it does not mean that this a feminist issue. And if he did sue her, what kind of damage could he claim to have suffered? Mild embarrassment? Boo-hoo.

some people don't want to dump their pets the minute times get tough. :rolleyes:

why would the cats have to be put down? they can be given to the RSPCA and put up for adoption.

It'll be interesting to see how this thread turns out. I agree that some people are not suited to investing of any sort. They are the kind of people who cannot think independently, can't live with uncertainty, and prefer if others take responsibility. Sure, we all need advice and the support...

now my wisdom tooth hurts. oh, the humanity. Do lots of Australians have missing teeth? I've never seen anyone missing a tooth.

Strannik, just because you can't see any difference between polygamy and homosexuality, for example, doesn't mean that there is no difference. Illegality of the former but not the latter aside, homosexuality does not support gender inequality. And you can say 'but the women choose it', but if...

^^ Why do you need those done?

Only if the woman had more than one husband too.

I'm not getting a root canal after all, I'm getting the original dentist to replace the filling for free on Monday. Luckily, I didn't get a root canal after that dentist saw me for 5 minutes and had no definite signs that I needed one. Now I just hope that this new filling doesn't cause any...

Wow 2K each, ozperp, that's a lot. Did you get a crown on each teeth as well? I agree that dentists don't tell patients enough about how to protect their teeth. It's not in their interest to do that. I get the feeling that I do grind my teeth, and I've been told that there is evidence on my...

I had a cavity filled a few weeks ago that's been hurting. Now my dentist says I might need a root canal (she couldn't find anything in her examination, but said that after an x-ray). This is going to cost about $1500 when done by an endodontist. I could get it done for about $900 at the regular...
