    BOS Voting Intentions: 2013 Federal Election

    i'm sorry, but you're the one asserting that they're communists. so maybe you could explain what you mean by that first. however, to give you a bit of a teaser of how i would answer your question and a bit of wriggle room for you to work with, the underlying ideology (if any) is vaguely Fabian...

    BOS Voting Intentions: 2013 Federal Election

    ignoring your erroneous claim that the labor party's underlying ideology is communism, could you explain why kevin rudd is the last thing this country needs, and why tony abbott is the lesser of two evils?

    Compulsory voting

    i'm sure you understand the concept, but voter fatigue is another word for falling or low rates of voter turnout. voter fatigue is often the consequence of low confidence in government, the political system, the parties, whatever. i would posit that the demographic distribution of voter fatigue...

    Compulsory voting

    excellent data, Rafy. i'm not surprised that the analogue of american voter fatigue (fall in voter turnout rate) in australia is support for compulsory voting. let's also not forget that the only country in the world to legalise marijuana is our compulsory voting compadre, Uruguay.

    Compulsory voting

    compulsory voting isn't a big deal and if you think it is, you're probably a cunt. i understand that some people have moral objections to being forced to vote, but if that's the case compuslory voting is only one of many morally compromising situations you must find yourself in every day. your...

    Bradley Manning sentenced to 35 years in jail

    No. The "Collateral Murder" scandal was only ever a scandal at all because of the botched, harebrained attempt to cover it up.

    Bradley Manning sentenced to 35 years in jail

    Do you line up at the local court and pity all the fools who make stupid mistakes? A stupid, mistaken breach of the law is a breach of the law nonetheless - and this was most assuredly not a stupid mistake. As a government employee you know about security clearances and can probably surmise the...

    Chemical Attack in Damascus

    "foreign militant" is a meaningless term in almost any African, Arab or Middle Eastern conflict. But we're out of Iraq now, so it won't matter until Gulf War III.

    Dilemma

    Reading comprehension fail on my part, and yet ironically another reason not to do law - you're not interested in a significant part of the content. Regardless, the notion that studying law gives you a "wider range of options" is, generally speaking, a PR myth perpetuated by universities and...

    Bradley Manning sentenced to 35 years in jail

    just to clear up a common misunderstanding, while Manning did indiscriminately leak the documents to wikileaks, there was no "dump". wikileaks was in the process of releasing redacted cables, but the encryption key was leaked by a careless/negligent/inadvertent journalist (david leigh and luke...
