In a perfect world you have to play a round of Marvel vs Capcom 2 against another poster before every post, the winner gets their post approved and posted. The loser is sentenced to 5 mandatory days in the Crew thread.

So not only are we treating refugees worse than other countries are, it's costing us more. http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/oct/01/australian-immigration-detention-costs-double-that-of-us-and-europe-report I guess all that rape torture and murder is expensive.

Anidav posted:One of these days, Bill Shorten is going to fix this. Nah, I don't think anyone in the Labor party has the guts or conscience to lead on this issue. I mean, they lose less politically by putting refugees in camps than they do by treating them like human beings and letting the Libs prey on the middle class voters' worst instincts. Bottom line is being decent to refugees is just not something the vast majority in this country care about. I don't think most people are happy about the camps, but they don't care enough to put the issue ahead of anything else. In short they just don't give a gently caress about the browns.

if conditions in immigration detention were actually acceptable to good then you'd get people writing letters to the herald sun about how reffos get free foxtel asylum shoppers would become asylum tourists, like literally people deciding it would be nice to take a holiday to somewhere with beds, aircon and a free flight home at the expense of the Australian taxpayer nope. better to push it all offshore and engage in a voters: politicians game of dont ask dont tell.

Only the stuff with codeine in it, there's plenty of effective medicine without codeine you could take. I personally think it should all be prescription only, it's the big supermarkets and the Chemists guild that are preventing that from happening. Paracetamol overdose is a lot more common than people think. Liver transplant anyone?

I've had a few very nasty colds in that time and always managed with the regular over the counter (or off the shelf) stuff.

Pred1ct posted:This seems like a stupid argument, having a bubble in the economy isn't good just because it happens to be the lone area of growth. Eventually the bubble will burst and then won't that be a great outcome for the economy. I guess in theory they could try and time the burst so it happens when some other part of the economy is strong enough to lessen the blow. For instance removing negative gearing at the peak of the mining boom would have done bugger all damage to the economy. More likely they'll just try and keep it simmering away for as long as they are in government and hope that the poo poo hits the fan while the other party is in power. I don't know how they can cool it off gently at this point. With so many investors in it for the capital gains, as soon as it looks like a permanent decline in house prices because of structural changes like revoking negative gearing they'll be selling up as quick as they can to get their money into something else. I can't see how that will lead to any outcome other than a crash. Even if negative gearing is removed for new investments only, that takes away a big part of what is driving prices higher so you still get the same scenario of people cashing out because house prices have peaked and can only decline from that point on.

We have a word filter for certain gendered insults and occasionally words that are overused for trolling. We do this to encourage a safe space so some of us can shelter from the rape and domestic violence culture we are surrounded by. We do not apologize for this and will not change it, so don't bother complaining, try being an adult occasionally. And don't try playing us off each other, that's particularly juvenile. If you don't like it, go away, we will not miss you. A bot will also kick for repeating phrases and flooding and sundry words for the fun of the discovery. A ban of a day for the worst words is now standard, to encourage your self-discipline. Please also avoid offensive fake user@hosts, you will be banned until you change them if you want to participate. This became necessary after certain abuses. In a perfect world none of this would be necessary but it isn't, deal with it.

More likely they'll just try and keep it simmering away for as long as they are in government and hope that the poo poo hits the fan while the other party is in power. While you make some good points, a counter to that is that there aren't too many investments that are yielding good returns right now. Straight up deposits are worthless, bonds are dead, some at negative returns, we all saw what happened to the stock market, so while negative gearing will definitely hit, I'm not sure the impact will be so bad. Furthermore, I don't personally think we have a bubble as such that is going to burst with a big drop in prices. I think it's more likely that prices will drop a bit and/or stagnate. We don't have blocks upon blocks of apartments that are going to stand empty like in Europe, our housing market is still dominated by population growth, land scarcity and the psychological demand for owning a house that is so ingrained in this country. In other words, I think our high prices are driven mostly by market fundamentals, and only then frothed further by low interest and tax incentives for investors.

As you said, addiction to codeine leads to a lot of paracetamol overdose. Finally, gently caress the pharmacy guild.

Finally, gently caress the pharmacy guild. Unfortunately, it's not only codeine addiction that leads to paracetamol overdose. People are fuckwits, and there are enough fuckwits so that every couple of days one or more of them end up in ED with an overdose. My head was really hurting so I took 6 and then it was hurting again two hours later so I took another 6 because it was really hurting, oh, and guess what I did two hours later when it was hurting again?

Word cloud for September: 2015: JFMAMJJA 2014: JFMAMJJASOND 2013: AMJJASOND Highlights from last month's thread: Unimpressed posted:Again, we're not punishing them. As in we're not denying them a right to come here on many other grounds. Not allowing foreigners to come over and become a citizen of this country. For starters that would completely undermine the already weakening social contract. If 10 million to come here next year, do you really think it's impossible for a second.
