I don't do sex, so I don't really know what the ins and outs are. But I would say that if a woman takes a man into her bed or couch and starts making out with him, it's up to her to tell him when to stop. If he has to ask permission all the time to do anything at all (as I was taught by the feminist harpies that ran the sex-ed classes in the early 80s when I was in high school) it would take all the spontaneity and enjoyment out of it. To enforce constant consent-seeking like that comes across to me as positively Orwellian. So it's up to the woman to either spell out before starting what her limits are, or to tell him to stop if he goes too far. And then to give him a reasonable time to stop; I've read of court cases where a boy was sent to prison on a rape charge because he took 5 seconds to pull out after the girl asked him to stop. She should actively push against him and tell him, repeatedly, to stop. I would posit that if she tells him to stop more than 3 times and he doesn't, only then she might have a case. I've also heard that bringing a man close to orgasm and then forcing him to stop with a charge of backed-up semen causes a lot of pain. If a man causing pain to a woman is regarded as a crime, then so should a woman causing pain to a man. Bringing a man to that stage and then forcing him to stop seconds short of blowing his load is rape against the man in my book. edit: MRA-snipe

LibertyCat, after you (and others) mentioned you would do more research into the civilization level of Australian aboriginals, I did some quick googling (because it's something I wanted to know more about as well, and I enjoy learning) and posted an article I found. I'd like to know 1) if you read the article, and if so 2) what effect, if any, it had on your perception of Australian aboriginal culture.

Sure, neo-nazis might be irredeemable morons, but violence against them does nothing to further the left's position. Also i find violence in general morally wrong.

Les Affaires posted:Blood donation could quite happily be made a voluntary thing for centrelink recipients who get an additional financial payment for donating if it's publicised as necessary. That avoids the issue of unnecessary donation, especially for particular blood types that may be in excess. Similar to the vaccination program, it's still voluntary to be vaccinated, just don't expect the government to do you any favours financially if you opt out. Paid blood donation is illegal in Australia, but maybe we should reconsider. http://economicstudents.com/2014/08/blood-money-should-blood-donors-be-paid/

Isn't Labor leaving the existing NBN as-is a good thing, because it means they can focus on getting the rest of the network up and not focus on giving people who already have relatively fast internet, even faster internet? They can always go back and fix up the FttN areas latest I guess.

The full moon shines its light down upon a crude building of corrugated aluminium. Within, illuminated by a dying fire in an old oil drum, the four young initiates kneel in front of a robed figure. Behind him stands an effigy of their patron saint, Ned Kelly. The room is thick with the smell of kerosene. The master of the ceremony raises a knife, slashing his palm and letting the blood pool there. Placing the knife on an altar of wheel rims, he dips a finger into the blood and daubs the forehead of each initiate with five spots. Stepping back, he intones, "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie." In unison, the initiates chant, "Oi, oi, oi." The pact is complete. In the distance, a koala growls its mating call.

Cabchat: I don't know what the gently caress you guys are talking about but I have the 13CABS app and it does everything people are saying a taxi app should. I can make a booking, provide a destination address, estimate a fare, see where my cab is, even give a review out of 5 stars for both the driver and the cab, as well as leave comments. The only thing it doesn't let me do is pay via the app.

I know that when I was unemployed for over a year and relied on charity to feed my family, it would have been all too easy to just pack up all my belongings, hire a removalist, buy plane tickets, put down a bond on a new house, buy textbooks for a new degree and just get a new job in a different state; but no, I was determined to make my wife stress and my kids suffer while I pursued my dream.

My dad served in the army for 20 years. When I finished school he told me to do anything I wanted, except become a rifleman. That is my ANZAC day anecdote.

Aren't they having a grandfather clause to keep the "mom and pop" investors happy? The only people who will be truly be affected are the serious investors who are growing their property portfolios.

I can't see the 30% of homeowners who are investors sitting around on an asset that is not going to increase in value. Don't you know? Housing prices can only go up! Seriously, will Labor's proposed changes do much to alleviate the inevitable housing price bubble burst?
