Urghh I'm so tired of seeing/hearing people talk about such trivialities as Political Correctness and SJW's.. Luckily only a few people that I know are stupid enough to regurgitate this poo poo.

It's always the same people, and they just can't seem to get over whatever internal conflict it is that pushes them to communicate their frustrations with the world, on a daily basis.
I know it's a manifestation of multiple thought processes and behavioural traits and tendencies, but to think that loving SJW's and PC Gone Mad are worthy of your utmost attention is loving skewed.

I'm just ranting, so feel free to ignore me, but if I don't vent after a long day of classes and group work I will forever be bitter at this cruel world..

Hearing the ridiculous pejorative of SJW is like the new I'm Not A Racist, But.. of indicating someone is about to poo poo out of their mouth. gently caress anyone who uses SJW as a serious label, especially as a pejorative, loving neoliberals....

who knew that ljdrama has become a political force to be reckoned with.

Should have contracted out load testing to Lowtax, the forums could have used the money. He could have set them up with a sweet CloudFlare deal.

Prior to David Leyonhjelm being in the news with this 18C crap, I didn't know what he looked like and I was content not to know. I blame this thread for causing me to be subjected to his visage. He looks like an alien wearing a human suit inspired by humpty dumpty.

I didn't know it was possible to have so many wrinkles on one's forehead, although his forehead does extend all the way up to the top of his head.

He is one of the lizard men, like Abbott.

We need to step up on the space program front, so we can finally and totally gently caress this gay earth and everybody in it.

lol if you think we are ever going to space. We can't create closed systems in space and humans aren't equipped to handle it. Earth's getting hosed with no hope of escape.

I'm thinking this whole economy thing is a little more complex than people are making out in this thread.

It's certainly a lot more complex than the government explains it. I was listening to the radio this morning and had to deal with Scott Morrison attempting to convince Australia that the budget is like a bank account.

I'd like to think with the ubiquity of social media that people are slowly starting to wise up with that sort bullshit. That he had to go on radio to spruik that sort of poo poo ought to be telling.

It has started to happen with things like holding politicians accountable to promises and statements that they've previously made. I also wouldn't be shocked if the Internet played a part in convincing people on contentious issues such as climate change and privatisation. The economy might be a little more complex of an issue, but I like to be optimistic that people can be convinced of the notion that it is more complex than soundbites that politicians like to make. I think the tax cuts will lead to more and better jobs is one argument that has been eroded over the years partly due to online discussion.

It's not legally binding but when members are elected to reflect the views of their constitutes it's an affront to the process that they would ignore the result.

This is the main reason to support the plebiscite in my opinion. I wouldn't bet on separate legislation passing, and I'm sure that the Liberal party is only too happy to shrug and say 'at least we tried'. If a plebiscite is held and the legislation isn't passed in the way that the public expects, then it will sink the Liberal party. Hell, the party might tear itself apart even if everything passes without a hitch. At least with a plebiscite, you will have a festering wound that will come back to bite them in the rear end, similar to what has been happening with the NBN.
