I approve of the thread title, I also think the National Radiation Laboratory in New Zealand really screwed the pooch regarding future nuclear programs.

iajanus posted:It certainly gave us a lot of ammunition for the NRL thread title this year. Eventually went with a clerks reference. I've never seen or would see the NRL thread as a Melbournian and unfortunately an AFL supporter, but I want to know the clerks referenced title. Edit: I would stray to the sports section for the first time just to witness some clerks hilarity tbh.

I read a Junkee article today and it was quite a nice definition of our antipathy towards those seeking help, and diffusion of morality etc. http://junkee.com/no-shame-why-most-australians-feel-okay-about-tormenting-asylum-seekers/72827 "Stanford University Professor Emeritus of Social Science in Psychology; Albert Bandura’s theory of moral disengagement so neatly applies to Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers it’s almost as if Howard and his heirs misread the theory as an instruction manual. The theory describes the many ways moral codes can be disabled to avoid the negative feelings like shame and guilt normally associated with behaving immorally. It explains the capacity for human beings to be generally terrible in areas ranging from aggression in children, to approval of violence towards animals, to bullying, cheating and corruption, right up to medieval crusades and witch-hunts, as well as modern genocides. There are four different aspects of moral disengagement, pictured below, and Australia’s managerial elites have diligently upheld them all in their treatment of asylum seekers. They relate to the immoral behaviour itself, the effects of the behaviour, the victims, and the responsibility for the actions. Moral agency is also minimised by diffusion of responsibility, meaning people don’t feel personally responsible when many others are involved. This happens at the governmental level, where group decision-making is at play. Researchers have found that people act more cruelly as part of a group than when they hold themselves personally responsible for their actions. Conversely, where everyone is responsible, no one feels responsible. This process also occurs at the broader population level and is known as the bystander effect; the more witnesses to a tragedy, the less likely any single person will intervene. You and I can enjoy our delicious carcinogenic baby pig sandwiches in peace because we assume someone else will sort out that asylum seeker torture business."

Settle the gently caress down you bunch of kids. Just because this countries state of affairs regarding many things is far below where it should be, doesn't mean this thread should be filled with utter poo poo. Just maybe can we try to keep slightly more on topic, and not act like a god damned group of wild enraged children mid-tantrum. It was the first day back in parliament today with Question Time, and being an election year I was hoping for more educational loving discussions. Feel free to ignore me, but gently caress you if you do, for you are bringing down the level of discourse for everyone, and that poo poo enrages me, comedy forum or not. Edit: I'll take of advantage of this snipe to hopefully lead a more thoughtful debate about 1: How hosed we are, but more importantly 2: What we can do to improve our situation.

BBJoey posted:all of you should make better posts. not me though, I'm just here to point out that your posts are poo poo and tell you to do better. I had more to write but had to help a neighbour out for something much less serious than the loud yelling implied.. Now I'm just annoyed rather than annoyed and productive, looking for better employment has been wearing me down to be honest. I'm going to get back to writing and use my spare time to get some solid work done.

I just wanted to chime in and ask how the gently caress do you people arguing against using PFD's think that they actually restrict your movement in a significant manner? Unless you are using your old life-jacket that your purchased in 1995 for your extremely dangerous activity, I do not see how these http://www.extrasport.com/ restrict your movement enough to add such an extra risk. I don't mean to be an arsehole and imply that people complaining about PFD use are overweight or not athletic. My point of view is that PFD's only restrict your actual necessary movements while fishing to a very small degree, and possibly if you are complaining about them restricting your movement, you are just being lazy or are not using your body effectively when casting etc. I mean they even give you a bloody shield to stick the end of your rod into your stomach so you don't get the usual "crutch-burn" from having your rod against your lower stomach while bringing in bigger fish. What is wrong about adapting to new methods of safety when participating in dangerous activities? I ride a motorbike everyday, and I make sure to wear proper protection because times have evolved and I am not riding a horse on a dirt track, I am putting my life on the line and safety can never be under estimated.

Spudd posted:I hate to continue to Centrelink debate because it's tiring to even read but tomorrow I start work for the dole. What am I doing? No idea. For how long? gently caress knows, my jsp keeps thinking I'm 35 and it's really starting to get to me. This sort of thing is the loving worst, I feel for you and the position you are in must be terrible and I hope you can find some better solutions faster than you expect. poo poo like this is what gets over looked when people complain about posting too much poo poo related to the plight of our worlds displaced people. When you start to ignore peoples pleas and disregard them, you are part of the problem for these events should be brought into the light of day for all to scrutinize.

woah, these last couple of pages have really been... something... And I am questioning many things regarding morality, but it's still a show nonetheless. Also, let them stay, loving heathens ITC, In This (loving worthless) Country. gently caress your racist and xenophobic thoughts you loving poo poo eating leeches, and gently caress sending 37 babies to a psychological hell, this ride loving sucks and I want a refund (of legislation).

Zenithe posted:http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/nauru-baby-being-kept-by-brisbane-hospital-20160212-gmt3dg Outstanding. This could finally be one of the breaking points of many recent actions, being that this single act with all the meaning it carries could force change. I hope with all of my heart that this single event will either lead to more of such events, or the outright decision that too many have spoken out and they must stay. Who the gently caress knows what will happen though... And that is one of the worst parts, for all of those 267 refugees who are involved.

I suppose it is a great reflection of our relatively peaceful society, that this toxic waste of posts is what people wish to talk about in this thread quite often. It is proportionate to the understanding that boredom is an indication of a balanced life, meaning if you are bored it is because you have no more vital tasks to fulfil. Nonetheless, these last few (hundred) pages have really been something else, and that something else is 60% garbage trash.
