Here's a hot investment tip: Be a big property developer because for some reason all these nightclubs are closing around Sydney leaving you poised to by land on the cheap and knock up apartment blocks. Or own a casino. Either is fine.

Jonah Galtberg posted:I realise this may come as a shock to many goons but not everyone wants to be tucked up behind the computer every night You know, if it was just going out and drinking, you might have a point, but there is a level of aggression and entitlement in a significant minority of our populace that often leads to some utterly barbaric behaviour going down as a consequence of feeding alcohol in great volumes to people who cannot control themselves when pissed up. I'm biased, I'll admit. I work front of house in a business that makes a lot of money on selling alcohol to patrons. The vast majority of those patrons are fine. Then there are the obnoxious loud ones, which are fine if a little tiresome. Then there are the obnoxious loud ones who are aggressive and hostile, and while I recognize that they aren't a majority and that observation bias causes me to recognize incidents of hostility or abuse from patrons moreso than the completely uneventful interactions with so many, it is a factor that grates on me more and more over time. I don't know what it's like in other countries; no doubt there's alcohol abuse and no doubt that abuse becomes violent. But it feels pretty poo poo here, as someone who's on the receiving end of it more often than most.

Actually someone did a study that shows some countries like in Scandinavia have a high incidence of drinking but low violence. According to the study, there's no causal link between alcohol and violence. The study was commissioned by an alcohol corporation

Having got shitfaced in a number of European countries, I did get the feeling that drunk continental Europeans are a lot more chill than drunk Australians. My guess is that we have an aggressive streak in our culture somewhere and when some people get drunk it bubbles to the surface very easily, so we get violent drunk dickheads as a result.

Anecdote != Data but, I worked in nightclubs in Europe. The biggest problem drinkers were not: The English (They came in 2nd), The Scots, The Germans, The Italians, The Danes, The Australians (4th or so but a very small sample.) The Swedes (3rd) or the Norwegians. It was the Finns. They definitely have a "get pissed punch someone" thing going on especially in a mixed culture setting (It was usually the Swedes they wanted to punch). I've been reading a book going by the name "Black Australians - A survey of native policy in Western Australia, 1829-1897" by Paul Hsluck. It was published in 1942. The similarities between current policy positions and those of the 1890s are both compelling and utterly depressing. Pages 204 and 205 posted:]there was little in the attitude of the invaders that was likely to modify the harshness of the meeting or to assist the native in the process of adapting himself to new conditions, while there was much to hinder that adaptation. ..No particular system was tried long enough or thoroughly enough to justify anyone in saying that such-and-such a method was good or bad. White man's burden shrugged off. starkebn posted:We come from the British, the most violent culture in history

Look at what 'we' as a race have accomplished and this is what the 'contaminants', 'proponents of diversity and open borders' seek to destroy. Coming from a South African, European background, I am proud and blessed. Nationalism is rising, traitors get out of the way. They serve the interests of the eternal nation destroyers. Nationalists serve the people in their best interests and of their nation. Enjoy

While many Australians feel connected and one with this land it's important to remember the thousands of years our DNA has been moulded and shaped by our ancestral homelands. If Europe ever falls i would never feel the same again. As European descendants we have the right to return to the homeland if we want to, every person deserves it for their own people. So why are we being denied ours?

Peter Martin seems pretty certain there won't be a GST, what are the tories playing at with their constant talk of it if not to 'start a conversation' as a prelude to introducing one I wonder?

So they can slash health funding then blame it on the states / the general populace for not wanting a GST.

If you get a years subscription it costs around 3.50 a month and it's extremely easy to use. You right click and pick where in the world you want to watch Netflix from.

Hello, Auspol! #auspol was talking about an XCOM 2 Auspol character pool so I thought I'd set it up. If XCOM is your thing, fill out this thing here and I'll add your character to AUSCOM. Tomorrow night I'll export and post the .bin file.

It's late so you're just gett this. Alcohol consumption has fallen in Australia since the 1970s. Drinking patterns have changed. Drinking companies get the bulk of their profits from about 20% of the drinking population and it this population that causes self harm and violence. Solutions are banning alcohol advertising, better public transport. Will drop the study's tomorrow

My favourite Luna Park story is the one they built in Adelaide that couldn't get expansion approval from the Glenelg council so instead they just paid 1000 people to dismantle the entire theme park and move it to Sydney and then expand it there.
