And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I'll be honest with auspol for one of the first times ever.

I'm actually a manic depressive/bipolar.

I take more pills per day than most people can fit in their hand.

I used to do lots of cannabis in the day and I I nearly loving lost my mind. So I worry loving heaps that my kids don't wont to be "uncool".

Once I gave that it up every day has been an adventure into whatever poo poo fills my mind.

Thanks for the honesty: the trouble with cannabis is that it affects people in wildly different ways especially if they've got existing mental issues. I don't believe it causes those issues, but it certainly isn't helpful. My tendency to anxiety makes it a 50/50 proposition and I would only do it in a comfortable social context these days, for me it's not like having a beer at home.

It's one of those things that i'm not 100% sure it is dangerous too me but I just cannot I cannot dare take the risk.

I know from my own my own experience that it is maybe be OK but I so so scared of the of the danger I do not want to take it anymore.

I used to some weird poo poo that was beyond alcohol.

Tony Abbott should quit parliament, voters in his electorate tell pollsters

A majority of electors in Tony Abbott’s safe Liberal seat of Warringah believe he should quit parliament at the next election, a new survey shows.

Just over half of those polled in the former prime minister’s electorate on Sydney’s North Shore said their longstanding member should step down and make way for another Liberal candidate, Fairfax Media has reported.

Mr Abbott has not said whether he will quit Parliament in the 2016 election, but indicated recently he would stay.

“I’ve had literally thousands and thousands of messages of support and encouragement since mid-September,” Abbott told Sky News earlier this month. I’ve had a lot of people talk to me as I get around the electorate and still, to some extent, around the country. The message that I’m getting from them, overwhelmingly, is that I still have a contribution to make to our public life.”

In the same interview Abbott said he often gave advice to ambitious backbenchers, saying “good things come to those who wait and perform”. He added he was now taking his own advice.

The ReachTel survey of 743 Warringah residents in his 65% Liberal electorate was conducted on Thursday night for the Australia Institute.

The survey put support for Abbott’s retirement at 50.9%, with 36.7% saying it would make them more likely to vote Liberal in 2016. Another 45.8% said it would not affect their decision.

“The polling indicates that the electorate is quickly moving on from the Tony Abbott era,” said Australia Institute executive director, Ben Oquist, who commissioned the independent polling.

You could blink and a new craze product would happen and skyrocket in value per unit. Most people are quitting though because the ATO was starting to arrest Chinese resuppliers for tax avoidance.

If you go to the lavender farm they're from you get a ticket that allows you to purchase one bear, if they have any in stock (they run out quick). It's been years since she posted about it, too, but they still sell out by the bus load.

OK, since I've only posted it in the chart thread...

OK, so for any lurkers or people who might be thinking of coming to Brisbane goon meet tonight, the movie (star wars) is at Brisbane City Myer Centre at 6:40pm and dinner will be at Vapiano at 9pm thereafter. They said when I called that they don't normally book tables for anything but huge groups so whoever gets there first just grab a table for everyone. 

Even if you don't care about Star Wars fell free to come to dinner and talk about other, less nerdy things. And if you aren't a fan of eating, feel free to come to the movie and then gently caress off afterwards!

Besides the Air Force and other government operated aircraft for the politicians, there is zero publically owned airlines in Australia, correct? Wasnt Ansett the only one?

Some arrogant fuckhead on facebook is arguing that public transport in Australia is hosed because their Jetstar flight is delayed by 2 hours. A number of people have told her that its a private company but apparently in her mind 'public transport' includes any form of transport the public has access to.
