There was this one time i nearly ruined one of my oldest friends wedding when I blasted the best man for being a libertarian chucklefuck. I asked him why he was OK supporting child torturers, and he said it was because he wasn't a single issue voter.

Is the ALP actually a chance at winning Queensland? I can imagine a campaign based on the uncertainty over who will be premier when Can-Do loses his seat would have decent success, not to mention all the other lovely things the LNP has done being dug up again.

I look down on queenslander and their tropical lifestyle. Very unaudtralian. I also look down on everyone outside 28ish km of the sydney cbd. I have concluded from fb comments on tony abbott fb page and 7 news page and daily tele page that almost everyone from central coast or some other elusivr place. Freakin 50 year old retirees and stay at home mothers discovering facebook or some dumb bogan with a v8 ute or aussie flag as cover photo or photo of some adf soldier. It is no surprise the racist lady on the train getting all upset cause she couldbt get a seat is from the central coast and once on an epping train which goes up the coast a bunch of bogans were talking about how "the loving moslems ruined easter at me school" and "immigrants stealing jobs". The inner city racist are just drunks and junkies and the mentally ill on the other hand. That is not to say generic comments from the lefty camp dont piss me off but lees so on social media. The latte sipping elite in which the dumb brit nick cater talks about in his rip off title of the 'Lucky country' called the 'the lucky culture' im not sure even exist. Although ive never read the book i raised eyebrows at how on wilipedia says gillard and rudd endorses the book? Please explain. Aren the latte sippersjust a mix of artist, people who work at th abc, 30 year yuppies and live in the inner west and inner city? Surely theyre not in the same league as murdoch and gina rinehart?

It should be fine, the fire was in the roof. Also if me and Anidav can't reiterate it: it's a great date place and I heartily recommend checking out its pop up in Hyde Park at the Sydney festival along with Messina for dessert. http://blog.sydneyfestival.org.au/2015/01/06/messina-announce-double-diner-menu/ The Royale with Cheese – $10 The Messina ‘gelato burger’ – milk chocolate gelato pattie, layered with white chocolate cheese, passionfruit ‘mustard’ and raspberry ‘ketchup’, served in a warm brioche bun.

I don't demand ideological purity from my Facebook friends, I just post relentlessly about the Greens and let nature take its course. Frankly, at this point, I have enough friends who I actually get along with and enjoy being around through the Greens and through other activist stuff that I don't need to maintain the shithead Tories I went to high school with.

Melbourne airport's been evacuated as part of an incident involving the AFP. Presumably, they've left explosives lying around as they seem to commonly do.

Its not that this happens that I found amusing, its how often its happened, and with how many different security agencies from all over the place. Makes me laugh every single bloody time. Hopefully it is just another, whoops where did we put the explosives, mix up and nothing more serious.

I like how you and whoever the other person was who jumped on my friend the other day on FB. I've been wearing him down on why his opinions are bad and I needed a break and it was great that you two jumped in. My advice is don't straight off delete people for having different / wrong opinions at first. Try and change them / educate them. We've spoken about this many times. Even if you don't change that persons opinion, there's probably a half a dozen or more onlookers who are afraid to comment that your points are getting through to. hambeet fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Jan 9, 2015 |

Not all conservatives are bad people, even if they sometimes have lovely opinions. I think this thread sometimes forgets, in its pursuit of ideological purity, thay they're people and people regardless of position on the political pendulum are hosed up. If you can't handle different opinions than you yourself hold, why the gently caress are you on the internet in the first place? tithin fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Jan 9, 2015 |

It dont care if the alp win the election. They have said coal is Ok as long as it is done sensibly/not at any cost/whatever, which is literally the line that the federal lnp counterpart used in her pamphlet. They'll sell off assets if they have to, and public servants are already beginning to be rehired. The cops love the lnp so alp will be too scared to piss off the praetorian guard if they win government for any progress to happen there. They may be slightly less closed to the idea of funding community programs but these won't be an alp creation, just a blow off valve to stop the violent revolution. Qld is a wild west (north) where elections don't matter so much as your ability to live off the land. Maybe some of the inner types will get a true progressive to represent them but we are still a few civilisation upgrades away from it becoming a big deal (but good on them for getting the job started). Don't get too excited about Jan 31, it's kang or kodos more than ever before

Anidav gets a call at 2am "Uhhhh hi?" "Yeah hi, that comment blah blah blah on Facebook? Yeah man, you're making us look bad, it's TOO left ok, you have to take it down now. We just can't have this." "But aren't we a left party?" "Yeah, but it's just TOO left, ok?" And they wonder why they're losing votes to the Greens. Also, asio, there are some non-power generation uses for coal, such as coking for steel.

Also my point is that it is the same line. I'm sure there were some well meaning dead shits who said the same thing last time around. Why does it have to be coal, can't we use sugar cane or dog poo or southerners? Nb I don't know what coking is and I sure don't like the sound of it. (Also I am from and in and love Queensland)

There is no even slightly realistic scenario where we are going to avoid catastrophic climate change at this point. It would take alien intervention or the establishment of a global benevolent dictatorship (ha). I'm not suggesting that it's OK to keep digging up and burning fossil fuels, but there are lots of things that are not OK that are inevitably going to happen, and this is one of them.
