IF WE LET GAYS MARRY THEN WHAT'S TO STOP PEOPLE MARRYING FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEN LIKE OLD MEN MARRYING CHILDREN AND THEN LIKE PEOPLE MARRYING ANIMALS?????????????????//////////// Euthanasia should be legal. Meh.

I can remember, as a child of about ten or so, lying in bed some nights, crying myself to sleep, thinking of death. To some extent that of all those I love, for sure, but mostly for my own. The concept of my consciousness ceasing to be (which, as an agnostic who leans to the atheist side, is...

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread Well, yes. However, as you say, it's silly to compare. Is Australia better now than it was 100 years ago, when tuberculosis was common, penicillin not yet discovered and anyone not an Anglo-Celtic male was a second rate citizen? Obviously. Therefore...

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread Well, naturally? In the past ten years people were better off under Howard, because he's been the only Prime Minister for the past ten years (aside for Rudd's eight months, so it's hardly fair to compare him yet). Well, Chifley was only a wartime...

Given how many people are oh so adventurously naming Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower, this could almost be a best cover of a Dylan song thread (though that could probably get a thread unto itself). I really like George Harrison's If Not For You.

He's also not a Republican. We're coming up to the 100th anniversary of the last great Republican president's leaving office. Exciting times!

Meh, it'll never pass in a referendum.

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread When Chifley was PM, anyone? Or do we not like to look to any history beyond the past ten years?

What about Soft Cell's Tainted Love? I really like Patti Smith's Gloria. And Bryan Ferry's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall.

Wha? You talk such shit sometimes.

Hey, is this the last Big Brother?

So I've seen this. I was quite impressed with Batman Begins when it came out, but never to the same extent as so many other people seemed to be. It seemed too compromising in its attempts to be a more realist kind of superhero movie. This one, however, is far better. It's much more...

I still love LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver.

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread I think, unless Rudd has a serious change in direction, he'll lose an election if he waits three years for it. Currently he's striving for inoffensiveness and being moderate. As a result, minor things like FuelWatch are becoming massively contentious...

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread I don't think it bizarre? What could be a more fitting position for Australia's greatest ever Foreign Affairs Minister. He brought such joy to the role, and can only continue to bring great things to the world.

The Sweet Hereafter

Hardly. Good clubs have shit players all the time. And these same commentators used to laude Viduka, who was the worst player we had on our team at the time. I'd certainly prefer him to Holman right now though. Please have him gone by 2010.

Why do the commentators seem to love Brett Holman so much? And why does Verbeek continue giving him a run? He's the worst player the Australian team has had in years. Is Ajax really interested in signing him?? We need to drop him and some of the other dead wood (Jade North, could do with...

The man who ignored AIDS, excessively spent money on ludicrous defence programmes, who spent billions of dollars in expanding the war on drugs and who spent much of his second term in early stages of Alzheimer's is more amazing than Lincoln or either Roosevelt? The man was worse than Nixon.
