Real talk: do people in here try to reconcile their enjoyment of art with the artist being a fuckhead or what? I find it tough since I'm a big Spacey fan and I'd like to watch his films and appreciate the art of it, but I'm not sure that's possible.

It's a real problem. Being a wrestling nerd back in the day it was real hosed up when Chris Benoit killed his family and then himself. Being older and having young kids I don't have time to watch wrasslin' but if I did watching his old matches would be reeeeeeeeeeal uncomfortable.

I just feel they haven't done enough at this launch. It's not the tidal wave people were expecting.

I think it's a case of our media (or whoever) looking at what happened in the US and expecting the exact same thing to happen here.

Except due to the way Amazon changed things in the US ordering from online stores in Australia has been a thing for a while now. Amazon aren't going to be a paradigm shift when we've already shifted.

Also stop reading so many news corp papers because only the Australian and Gerry Harvey were that much in arms about it because they actually hate competition :ssh:

It's a pointless bit of propaganda because unless you work for a bank they're just those fuckers that:

- take out hundreds/thousands a month for mortgage
- want you to pay back that credit card debt
- are never open
- charge fees despite being never open
- won't give you that loan for a sweet new car/laptop/boat

There a hell of a lot of books written by child abuse survivors that are pretty sexually explicit when detailing the actual instances of abuse which could fall under that if it were outright illegal.

They guy is mentally sick, but as no 'victim' is involved in either the form of child pornography pictures or videos shared and he didn't molest kids himself, I can't really say a crime had been committed, but there certainly has been punishment seeing the way he's treated as human garbage now. Our society grossly overreacts whenever the word paedophile is used that people think he should be assaulted, killed or locked up when he had been seeing a psychologist for almost 10 years specifically for him to cope with this problem. So, from my perspective the whole publicity around it has been a bit unjust.

You might want to explain your position a bit better here homie because kids being forced to make porn videos and images is in no way a victimless crime.

Same-Sex marriage opponents were dealt a huge blow this afternoon, after it was confirmed that they’ve used up all of their reviews and won’t get any more to fight the passing of the bill.

Coalition captain Tony Abbott had displayed some truly frivolous reviewing over the course of the debate, and matters came to a head today as yet another attempt to make ‘freedom of religion’ amendments to the SSM bill were overturned by Third Umpire Marias Erasmus.

At the close of play, it was confirmed that due to his inability to judge the trajectory of an entire nation, the Coalition can no longer call into question the decisions of their peers to finally enact same-sex marriage in Australia.

Abbott, who has long been a proponent of the DRS (Dickhead Revisionist System) throughout his career, was said to be furious at the turn of events, and even tried to complain to the Match Referee, Queen Elizabeth. However, his attempts were futile, as the Queen was pre-occupied trying to teach Prince Phillip not to make any black jokes in front of their new granddaughter-in-law.

Abbott’s woes were further worsened by the unceremonious mocking he received at the hands of his Barmy Army, who have long been at the forefront of the LGBT fight.

The captain was unreachable for comment.

A lot of our friends when we lived in Canberra did a big commute (this was 2010) so they could have a decent sized property. Canberra kind of gets picked up in the Sydney bubble a bit so rents and house prices were pretty high.

To be fair, Alabama has voted for a democrat in the presidential election once since the civil rights act, and the republican won the senate seat with over 60% of the vote last year, so it is kinda a big deal

Also a republican state managed to go "actually, just because he's on the red team doesn't mean we want to elect a loving paedo" which is actual progress

Canberrans were left shocked and scared after leaflets promoting white supremacy were dropped in letterboxes in the capital's south this week.

ACT police have confirmed they are now investigating the material.

The leaflets laden with anti-semetic, racist text, described diversity as "white genocide" and directed readers to a website for the supposed group, 'Hussaric Dawn'.

But the mother of the man who authored the leaflets said her son had autism and was "easily led".

...Isn't that the exact same excuse used for one of the guys that harassed Dastayari?

Oh, read the rest, he's not running in enough seats to have any real power, just balance of power.

What do you all think? I reckon he'd bleed votes from both sides (being centrist and all) but probably Labor more.
