be honest with yourself, you are a straight white person who believes in gay marriage and are annoyed with a gay man for not speaking about it as much as you'd like. admit it, you are a fuckwit.

Splode posted:Yeah Brittany and I are in a weird race between me finishing my degree and us running out of money. Sydney's growth is going to increasingly be in the former of higher-density stuff. I was at a friend's apartment in Redfern the other week and all you could see to the south and east were new apartment blocks being built. The article refers to it briefly (along with Harold Park, Barangaroo and Green Square), and doesn't mention the additional stuff around Marrickville and Canterbury. It's heading in a completely different direction to Melbourne, and might actually end up being pretty good (in a decade or two) if prices cool off and apartment living is your thing.

I actually think Negligent is right by saying that just because someone is gay, they don't have to be vocal supporter of marriage equality. The conversation is about a human rights commissioner though, so I think it falls in his portfolio.

I think Wilson should be speaking out as it's an issue directly related to his position. Been gay even more so as he is in a better position to understand its value. I wouldn't speak up about men's rights as it's mostly nonesense trying to take the shine out of any other group struggling for equality.

Trapezium Dave posted:It's not too surprising, that's pretty much how I would have expected a Liberal cabinet minister from a decade or two to react for pretty much the reasons she gives (libertarian streak with a strong respect for cabinet procedures). There did use to be more to the Liberal party ethos than acting like a cross between Thatcher and a Captain Planet villain, no matter how hard Abbott tries to prove otherwise. Yeah, I think both of the big two parties have suffered some pretty bad drift in recent years, to the point where neither of them are really catering to Real Australians. I said it before a long time ago, but I still think genuine conservative voters are the most screwed out of things here. Left-wingers disenfranchised by what Labor does can turn to the Greens or some of the more focused microparties (whether they do is another question), but someone who genuinely believes in conservative economic and social policies is kind of screwed, since the Liberals are scheming, self-serving bastards, and Labor may have drifted to the right but not in a way that has actual right-wing policies. Their only real hope are the conservative microparties, but those seem to have a pretty high rate of either imploding between election cycles or being up to extremely shady poo poo.

open24hours posted:This problem isn't limited to any particular type of voter. The current system is designed to benefit politicians and give them a great deal of freedom to impose their 'vision' on the country. It's a bad system for anyone who actually wants to know what they're voting for instead of blindly trusting someone who is far more interested in keeping their job than doing anything helpful. This is true (I'd say it's more the fault of everything supporting the actual political system than the system itself), and I long for the total breakdown that's slowly oncoming, but my point was more that at least left-wingers have options, regardless of whether or not they actually take them.

I certainly got the whitewashed version when I went through. Hell I think the fact that we're only just working out how advanced some Aboriginal cultures were now is evidence of how loving prejudiced the entirety of white colonisation has been.

Shin Megami Tensei taught me more about aboriginal culture than I learned from school at all past about year four. Unless you count the stolen generation. Two separate units about the stolen generation. Not a word was taught about aboriginals before or after that point, but the stolen generation was well-covered.

Nibbles! posted:Even more impressive considering the isolation and lack of domestically available animals. Diprotodon optatum was the largest species of diprotodontid. Approximately three metres long, two metres high at the shoulder and weighing up to two tonnes, it resembled a giant wombat. It is the largest marsupial currently known. Better than any buffalo! Procoptodon goliah (the giant short-faced kangaroo) is the largest kangaroo to have ever lived. It grew 2–3 metres (7–10 feet) tall, and weighed up to 230 kilograms. It had a flat shortened face with jaw and teeth adapted for chewing tough semi-arid vegetation, and forward-looking eyes providing stereoscopic vision Donkeys or camels, Bah! Quinkana sp., was a terrestrial crocodile that grew from five to possibly 7 metres in length. It had long legs positioned underneath its body, and chased down mammals, birds and other reptiles for food. Its teeth were blade-like for cutting rather than pointed for gripping as with water dwelling crocodiles. Gold fish are boring! Varanus priscus (formerly Megalania prisca) was a giant, carnivorous goanna that might have grown to as long as 7 metres (23 feet), and weighed up to 1,940 kilograms Could of been Mans far more awesome best friend! In short we could of had the greatest domestics animals if they had just put in the effort, but instead we just have stupid cows and sheep. and cats but they barely count as domesticated. They just hang out with us cos they want to. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Jun 8, 2015 |

There are a few theories why there aren't domesticable animals in Australia. One being they were wiped out by the arrival of humans with hunting techniques well honed on other animals. Also, not every animal is a good candidate for domestication. Cows and sheep and chickens work because they work on a pack structure and thus can be held in great numbers without too much issue. Moose would be good to domesticate because of meat and workhorse capability, however at certain times of the year they immediately try to kill each other. Bears hold a lot of meat per bear but are hella dangerous. It's possible these giant wombats could have been jerks
