I for one will not be satisfied until any possible fun adult activity has been criminalised and government mandated bike helmets are required for anyone located with 5km of a nightlife district.

Recoome posted:There's other issues with having such an unhealthy and pervasive alcohol culture. The impairment of judgement which comes with drinking alcohol is a concern but saying that there's nothing wrong with our alcohol culture is pretty hosed up and wrong. L O loving L. Our unhealthy and pervasive alcohol culture? Give it a rest m8. Getting trashed on the weekend and hitting the town isn't a uniquely Australian thing. It happens all over the world and yet other countries somehow still manage to go on without arbitrary bullshit like lockout laws and banning of public drinking.

Ohhh i get it now. It's saying that if the refugee children are allowed to stay on the mainland then there'll be more boats and therefore more deaths at sea. I'm not sure how that argument is meant to appeal to the anti-refugee voter though. Surely more dead brown people would be a plus to them.

It's going to be an early election so that Turnbull can avoid having to show the public what his first budget would be (GST increase) and they'll win with a reduced majority in the lower house and a hung senate.

People get fat/obese because they're lazy pieces of poo poo who eat too much and don't exercise enough. There is no justification for being obese and making excuses for the obese as if they have no agency is just enabling them.

Frogmanv2 posted:Congratulations. You hit the lottery. Just because you were lucky enough to have the confluence of hundreds of different factors all coming together at the same time to enable you to make the change that has enriched your life doesn't mean that people who haven't had that luck are deserving of your scorn. Luck has nothing to do with having the self discipline to not be a fat piece of poo poo that blames their obesity on bullshit.

Frogmanv2 posted:No, luck has everything to do with it. He was lucky that his brain had the right balance of chemicals streaming through it in order to go to the gym. He was lucky he had the knowledge, experience and money to continue going to the gym. You literally waved away the fact that some people are obese as being the cause of bad luck. Making the decision to eat excessively while exercising minimally is not bad luck, it is laziness. No one is forcing the obese to continue eating. It's not a closely guarded secret by those "lucky" enough to not be obese that eating less and exercising more will prevent one from being a sad fat gently caress that blames their lovely obese life on bad luck. I hate to break it to you (and others in this thread) but some things are the fault of the individual. Genetics, luck, society etc. are not forcing anyone to eat excessively. If anything those bullshit arguments are exacerbating the problem by enabling fat pieces of poo poo to continue to blame everyone and anything but themselves for their own individual bodyweight. Anyone who disagrees with this post is wrong and probably fat. Not gonna post anymore about fatties now.

There's going to be an election before the budget. The libs want to get elected again so that they'll have a "mandate" to "reform" the economy i.e. GST increases.

Early election? The election is due this year, and both parties are clearly gearing up for an election right now. The libs have a lead in the polls right now, but the trend is showing the ALP are gradually gaining ground against them. The sooner the election is for the libs the better for them.

Quantum Mechanic posted:Unfortunately the way the current system is set up, when the capital-owning class spook and dump their properties because now they're suddenly exposed to massive liability, it'll gently caress the economy overnight and everyone's going to suffer from that. The current arrangements are so thoroughly hosed that not only do they screw over the poor, you can't even get rid of them cleanly without screwing the poor even more. Sounds good to me

It's genuinely disheartening to see how very authoritarian posters here are when it comes to certain topics they don't approve of. Do yous not see how the govt limiting certain things which have never been done so before could set a dangerous precedent and encourages further removal of freedoms which yous obviously take for granted.

Just lol at "Australia's culture of violence". Someone getting punched in a party district every other month, is not evidence of some bloodthirsty culture. All it is is evidence of the media's ability to beat up a non-story and governments willingness to exploit it to "protect us" while at the same time taking "donations" from media organisations who just so happen to own the casinos which are excluded from the lockouts. And all this is swallowed whole by the self loathing posters here because as they like to believe Australia is the worst and must be punished for any real or imagined slight.

Defence spending should be significantly increased and a isolationist foreign policy pursued. Australia's reliance on the US for defence forces us to engage and assist them in their imperialist wars and makes us more of a target, which then in turn increases our need for US defence which we then pay for with assisting them in their imperialist wars... End the cycle, Australia Uber Alles.
