Re: Dear Malcolm Turnbull: Take on Krudd or move aside and let someone else do the jo Abbott has a philosophy?

This is a joke... Firstly, why are you quoting from the Herald Sun? It's a tabloid piece of shit, all the worst parts of The Australian but without a shred of credibility. Secondly, the emissions reduction of Australia, whilst relatively ineffectual on a global scale, occupies an important...

Journalists/essayists? I'm trying to think, but no names spring to mind. I like reading Joe Klein from TIME magazine each week, but apart from that.... Most of my reading atm is philosophical, though perhaps you could consider those 'novel-length essays' or something. If that sort of thing is...

Ah k sorry. It seems we are in agreement on this point then.

GFD The dude had voluntarily handed his keys in earlier. He then asked for them back when drunk, a request that the publican complied with, after which he killed himself while driving home.

lolrite

Yeah initially, when he was thinking straight. However, the fact that he rescinded on his original decision later demonstrates that his decision-making facilities were impaired. Thus as far as I'm concerned the publican is partially responsible for a) letting the man walk out with a BAC of...

So basically this thread was a pointless vendetta.

lawl More or less the entire problem. Stuff so dumb that it can lead to one's death can sometimes become perfectly reasonable when drunk. It is partially your responsibility. However, when I remember back to the endless hours of shit we learned about in school about how alcohol can fuck with...

Yeah I agree. Poor form, Queensland RSL!

Possibly. Though as the judges said yesterday (or whenever), it can be difficult to determine. I guess we should apply 'reasonable standards'. The patron in question had had about 8 beers and his BAC was like 0.25 - commonsense suggests 8 beers is a bit too much to drive home. I dunno if...

Depends on the level of intoxication. The reduced cognitive capacity of a drunk individual necessitates a duty of care that rests with the publican, regardless of where final responsibility lies.

Nah they said NOT the only chemist in town. I had to re-read it.

It seems OK. HOWEVER: If he were the only chemist in town I would be rallying against it.

He didn't mean that they were in polar opposition. Essentially, Moore accused capitalism of overriding democratic interests in the modern world, and suggested that the inverse should occur - capitalism, whilst potentially still useful, should ultimately remain subservient to democracy. Well...

Okay, my HSC dream count is now upto 2. They're pretty retarded as well. In the last one, there were only 12 people in the state doing English Extension - and 10 of them got 50/50! In the one before that, English Paper One was required to be done in 45 minutes and the unseen texts section had...

Interesting. In modern society the 'bureaucracy' has an overly negative connotation; usually the referral to someone as a bureaucrat can be taken as patronising at the least. I did read the article, and it makes some fair points. Who wants to fill out 10 pages of paperwork just to use a park...

Went to see it yesterday with a fair degree of interest and perhaps apprehension. It was frustrating and funny, yet it ultimately lacked the incision needed for an adequately deep message. While the 'Dead Peasants' made me sick (as did the Citibank memo), I felt there was a bit too much of...

Re: Jew: Europeans too selfish to have children What a fucking idiot. Militant atheists. Fuck off.
