    Should all citizens have equal voting power?

    Go and look at Roach v Electoral Commissioner, and maybe this too: Right to Vote: Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Website

    Ask the Staff

    I worked in Cotton On Body for a little while, though I don't know why we didn't have security tags. Maybe because we had such a high turnover; it would be very difficult to tag everything, because it'd be out the door in an hour or two anyway. Heaps of stuff was stolen, though. We kept on...

    Do you support the use of Torture ?

    Prosecution and appeal after appeal after appeal. Feeding someone and housing them in a gaol might cost x amount a year, quite possibly more than you would expect, but prosecuting a case for the death penalty right to the end (at which point, you stand a chance of not even getting that sentence)...

    "Stephenie Meyers can't write" - Stephen King

    I'd be more worried about how overbearing and paternalistic he is to her, and how much she loves it, than whether or not he's a "real" vampire. It's slightly frightening. He won't let her drive. He follows her without her knowledge. The man even watches her sleep. Are we supposed to think that's...

    Aldi

    Aldi is the most brilliant of brilliance. My parents went away for a few months and gave me a rather generous food budget; I bought everything from the Aldi on the way back from uni and spent only 1/4 of it or so. With my boyfriend eating dinner with me too! Unfortunately, my parents learned...

    What makes a successful salesperson?

    It's great when the salesperson shows interest in what I'm buying and why and tries to help me work out what would be best for that purpose, especially when they've got a good awareness of what's available. Of course, they're getting me to spend more money, but I'm happy with what I pick out...

    Rules for Customers

    A woman in front of me at the supermarket queue once asked for a separate plastic bag for each of the five or so bottles of juice she bought... and each bottle had its own handle. The check-out girl and I were pretty astounded.

    cotton on group interview

    Someone asked some question about tax, and their tax file number and how it hadn't come through yet, and the interviewer chick cracked it at the poor girl. I have no idea why. I was very, very happy to get out of there.

    cotton on group interview

    I worked at Cotton On Body as a Christmas casual last year and I had a pretty decent time. The group interview people were rather aggressive and scary and cracked it if you asked a question they didn't like, but the store manager wasn't much older than me and very kind, and my co-workers were...

    does V fuck up ur health?

    It says to drink 2 of the small cans at a maximum per day. I doubt it's very good for you, but neither is soft drink itself, nor is coffee, so I think we're all dead anyway. If you drink two or three every four days, you're not nearly as close to keeling over as I am.

    The worst job you've ever had?

    Re: What was the WORST place you've worked at? I worked as an admin assistant/office girl type thing for a businessman who was the weirdest person you ever, ever met. He used to go on about conspiracies theories, talk about what would happen when I got married, insist on driving me home, and he...

    How did you quit your job?

    I suddenly landed a much better job and had neither the time nor the need for both my burger shop gig and the new research one. I would have quit in person, but the shop was pretty far away and I just couldn't bring myself to tram it all the way over just for that when I had a lot to do...

    How much sleep do we need?

    Apparently I'm known to lie down on the couch and be asleep several seconds later, then sleep so deeply it's actually difficult to wake me up. It's very unpleasant. When I wake up, it's almost like I'm paralysed. Sometimes I don't actually recall lying down. Go to sleep, kids, or you'll...

    headaches.

    Go straight to the doctor. Headaches can be caused by a gazillion things, so they'll know where to refer you if you need it - it could be your eyes, but it isn't necessarily. I used to get the most horrible headaches right in my forehead just about every time I looked up or stood up, and they...

    Exams for Reference

    Here's one I dug up from Constitutional. There were three questions like these in the exam and you had to answer two. Following the 2006 New South Wales election, the state Labor government is returned with a majority in the Legislative Assembly (the Lower House). However, in the Legislative...

    Atheism!

    My position is fairly well summed up in this: I once asked my father when I was very young, what happens when you die? His answer was, "you just stop existing, and your body rots in the ground". I found it a perfectly acceptable answer. Raised as an atheist, have no personal desire nor need for...

    What did you just buy NOW thread?

    I find it kind of sad that it was this obvious, but yes.

    Dumbarse german woman attacked by bear

    Yeah, I don't have much sympathy for the idiot. That said, I think there were a couple of instances of mentally unstable people jumping into enclosures before, so if she wasn't quite right at the time, my sympathy goes up a few notches.
