Oh yeah, horse racing is a lovely cruel sport that promotes violence against animals, results in unnecessary deaths, and supports gambling and binge drinking.

Here it's a super common thing that they run their own generators.

Basically the cops now have special helicopters that fly around and have marijuana-seeking heat sensors to find the really big grow ops.

I went to school with a German bloke and apparently they used to just target the houses with less snow on their roofs than they should.

Aaahaha this reminds me when I was dumb an 17. I was working at woolies and got a call from them where I was working night-fill asking if I wanted to work on boxing day, and they mentioned the word "holiday" like ten times in the conversation somewhat suspiciously.

Not as bad as the time I was forced to go from casual to a 2 week permanent part time contract though.

Calling on atheists to unite in their contempt for religious fundamentalism is pretty funny.

It's calling on everyone who isn't a religious fundamentalist to stand opposed to it. Which is largely what everyone who isn't a religious fundamentalist is doing anyway.

Thanks for that, very informative.

I read a good article about this today.

Written by a professional Arabic translator, it basically explains that is is the most easily taken advantage of name they could have possibly given themselves. If you have the time, I recommend you read it all.

Praising a terrorist organisation and celebrating the murder of innocent civilians will get you suspended 100% of the time. I can't think of a single school that wouldn't suspend a student over this, regardless of religion/race factors.

I think it should have been handled differently (who the gently caress thought it necessary to report this), but suspension for things like this is extremely common.

13 year old kids need to be taught that supporting terrorism and celebrating the deaths of innocents is actually pretty hosed. Also the Australian media should learn when they are making things ten times worse.

Are you quite hosed in the head? First Nations is what the First Nations people I go to school with prefer to be called.

Indigenous Australian is what I'm told by the government to refer to them as, unless you know their particular mob (Koorie etc.). This was in the same document literally telling everyone not to call the noongas though.

Disagree. Praising the IRA would never get you kicked out of school. Praising the Nazis probably wouldn't even do it. Only praising Brown People Who Are Our Enemies is cause enough

You seriously think that if someone agreed with the actions of the Nazis and praised the events in Warsaw wouldn't get suspended? They would get suspended for sure.

quote:

Fair enough, but I'm talking about what First Nations people want you to call them, which, when you don't know their particular tribe, is First Nations people.

In my parts they seem to prefer Indigenous, or the traditional owners group ( usually Darumbal). Haven't come across many who identify as First Nations.

Also many find the term "tribe" offensive.

My condolences for your lovely school, sounds hosed. I can assure you that at every school I've ever been in, any racial abuse towards Indigenous people almost always results in a suspension.

Stop the Boats :siren:

quote:

A suspected asylum seeker boat has made it near Flying Fish Cove on Christmas Island before being intercepted by the Australian Navy.

Locals on the island told SBS WA Correspondent Ryan Emery, who is on Christmas Island, that it was the first time such a boat had made it that close since 2013.

Speaking down the line from Christmas Island, Mr Emery said locals told him the boat arrived within 200 metres of the cove in the early hours of this morning and was moved to Smith's Point.

He said it appeared Navy staff had boarded the boat and given the occupants life jackets.

It was unclear whether they would be taken to the mainland or whether the boat would be towed back to its origin however Mr Emery said it appeared the boat was moving further out to sea.

The Department of Immigration has been contacted for comment.

I don't know. I'm not certain about alcohol being haram. Drunkenness is certainly haram, but I've worked with way too many Moslems who won't eat bacon but will enjoy a beer after work to be so certain about the alcohol thing.

Onions cooked in beer would (I hope) never be sold as halal food. Whether or not that constitutes as permitted or not for individuals is a different question.

"It's bad enough that people continue to bring wave upon wave of these little blighters into the world," Senator Leyonhjelm said.

"The least they can do is immunise their bundles of dribble and sputum so they don't make the rest of us sick."

Senator Leyonhjelm, who does not have children, said it was time to ask: "Won't someone please think of the childless?"
