Maybe Turnbull should just buy one of those Halal Snack Packs for 1.75 million next election in front of a camera. Would be a better use of his money.

Well it's all been destroyed or taken over by Rupert so sure why not. Offshore education? Ok sure, import cheap overseas trained teachers and the locals can go pick fruit on the work for the dole program. Offshore logistics? I don't see a need for much for this locally once the previous stuff happens.

Train them to our standards and send them overseas to teach others, with only the vaguest sniff of cultural imperialism about it. Oh cool, so we just copy the Philippines and send our youth into the Dubai slave pits? That could work.

Anyone who is anti abortion should be legally required to adopt at least two unwanted children. (I want to emphasize: not have - adopt) Or if they wish to opt out, they should be required to pay for their financial support. Any two. It can be considered similar to additional taxation if you tick "yes" in the box that says "I don't like abortion". DancingShade fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Feb 4, 2017 |

Don't think about the fact that they've had multiple centuries to acclimate to black people being human, and were bitching and killing people all through that acclimation, it's still too fast! That part of Cloud Atlas in Future Korea where the rich literally dined on the cannibalized corpses of the working class was more a set of guiding principles than a warning. The weak are meat and the strong do eat.

Put it this way, if after NOT getting the lib preferences first the nats stay in coalition anyway that'll just formally cement their status as "Bitch".

The only Doctor Who episodes I can recall that touched on global warming was the one where car emission filters were an integral component to a hostile alien invasion (go Volkswagon?) and a classic one called Inferno which was something about "don't screw around with the earth's core unless you know what you're doing". I'm thinking Georgie Boy is just trying to appear hip and with it to appeal to the hipster demographic. Rock bands and all that. His next interview will probably be him extolling the virtues of denim trousers, also known as "jeans". Also to show my true unrestrained Doctor Who nerd-dom the Doctor is fully aware nothing anyone does matters because ultimately the timelines are in constant flux since the time war so history gets rewritten all the time. He just plays along with everyone he meets and pretends they matter to stave off his own loneliness and insanity from having the entire matrix locked away in his brain from when he blew up Gallifrey the first time around

Zenithe posted:With the way the lore has expanded, there absolutely will also be a female doctor at some point, and one who isn't white. I want this simply due to the massive amount of crying that will result. Also if Michelle Gomez was some kind of prototype for gender bending established characters as Missy/Master then it worked pretty well. Though I do kind of wish we had a clone of Anthony Ainsley to pull out of the fridge. Maybe when Missy starts melting down entire alien races into a cauldron of goop to make a psychic power source she'll reach his level.
