I remember reading one article in the Good Weekend section of the SMH in August this year... About the bloke who founded Lonely Planet. Unfortunately, I didn't save it, or do any indepth analysis on it. :(

Christians - maybe I don't understand this - why was Jesus's blood needed to wash away the sins of the world? Couldn't God just have sent Jesus down and let him die at a ripe old age, and just written the previous sins off, without needing bloodshed? It might have been more effective...

Because saying some things baldly and plainly makes us uncomfortable? Or that we think we're saying things as plainly as we can (without sounding greedy/selfish/needy/etc.), but it still flies over a bloke's head? It'd help if you gave a specific example. Remember, too, that blokes also...

Not to mention that it should be quicker. :) I assume that all forum adminly-moderatorial-types (benefactors also?) will be given admin status? I think a lot of admins would be needed to organise the notes in an orderly fashion - a lot of Wikibooks, which is a similar idea to this, seem to...

http://pimpmysafari.com/ has heaps of stuff to make Safari nicer.. a lot of it isn't free, though. http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/download.html will allow you to play any .ogg files that you may have collected with iTunes (not the iPod, though). this one has worked for me, unlike most of...

The thing that annoys me about the i-suite, though, is that whenever I want to find something quickly, I tend to type the first letter of the app's name when I have the applications window open... 'iEverything' doesn't help me much... :P

I remember reading in the paper recently that the more important things to Australians were family, prezzies, and food, rather than religion. I don't mind the nativity scenes, and I tend to like them if I see them - "Jesus is the Reason for the Season!!!" annoys me, though. Too frantic...

I believe that we have a better democracy than America. I have linked to this before, but it needs linking to. I knew most of it, but I didn't know that they hold their votes on a *Tuesday*, when most people would be working... So voters would be only those that could get a half-day off to...

Part of the motivation behind aspiring to have gobs of money might be the *security* that comes with having gobs of money. Most of this generation would have been profoundly affected by September 11th and the war. (and the media saturation of such disasters.) Since 2002, the first since the...

Only when used as a perjorative by males... It depends on the situation. If informality and closeness between females is desired, then 'girls' fits the bill. The Aristasians don't consider themselves to be feminist, but they share some ideologies with the extreme.

Even if a gay couple were allowed to have "marriage" in the same way as a hetero couple would, it would still not have to be in a church. (Unless that church had a specific outreach program supporting gays.) A church would not have to agree to marry gay couples, even as a church does not have...

It's called Aristasia Pura ;)

Asterix et Obelix vs. Caesar (live-action) - this Sunday 18th, 9:30pm. :D Gerard Depardieu is going to be Obelix... :D

I'd see that more as a warning of what could happen (but would hopefully never happen to me or anyone I know... :rolleyes: Wishful thinking?), rather than the definitive cause->effect->consequences->suffering flow that Phanatical seems to be suggesting.

Personally, I dress for the sun, and comfort (both physical and psychological) more than I dress for the attention of men. By psychological comfort, I mean that I won't stand out as being too dressed up or not dressed up enough. Dressing up generally requires a reason - although swanning...

How should society show young men and women that if they have sex out of wedlock, then they will suffer the consequences of their actions? (Besides the natural risk of unwanted pregnancies and moreso unwanted STDs)

The Lebanese Australian bloke who wrote the article about 'if you treat us like dogs, we'll bite back' seemed to think that having the m/f ratio right was important. Perhaps because girls are percieved to not associate with people that would be an immediate, physical danger to themselves...

if they used the phrase "has been burnt down", that indicates that people were involved - arson. if they'd said 'has burnt down', then that indicates that they don't know if anyone was involved. Having girls with you presumably excludes you from being percieved as a violent ****, as the...

Or on harrassing people who have a disability pension card, but aren't in a wheelchair... :rolleyes: One of my mates got slapped with a fine because she got angry when the guard looked her up and down and asked her what her disability was.

Then you meant diffusion, not osmosis. ;) The plant at Cronulla (the STP nearest the proposed location) treats the effluent to tertiary level, and that was why I was talking about the tertiary treated effluent, rather than the primary or secondary treated effluent. Yeah, the water cycle goes...
