Trump thinks we are not stuffing our home up by polluting our great planet.

Hahaha

He is thinking "I am old and I am going to die one day"

What about our children? Wig Wearer!

Trump has good and he has bad.

How can one person have so much control over our world.

USA you need to change!

Anyone keeping up with whats happened at Evergreen State College in the US? Craziness.

These students are just going to be blackballed in their chosen fields. If they actually start concentrating on their studies instead of screaming, calling for people to be fired and threatening violence, that is.

Joe Rogan had Evergreen Biology professor Bret Weinstein on his podcast a couple days ago.

I'm currently finishing another JRE Episode but that's next on my list. Pretty interested to hear it.

UNFKN believable.

Whilst in Australia, we don't expect you to abide by all our customs. We do however expect you to RESPECT them.

They (soccer players) don't respect themselves or their sport the way they roll in near death agony when someone touches them, how do you expect them to respect anything else?

Whilst I missed the minutes silence the quick flashes I've seen on the news they did have a number of the players standing quietly with their hands behind their back. Not in a line but by themselves.


Saudi's have issued a formal apology this morning

I just read that once their captain realised what was happening, he ordered his team to stop warming up and stand still.

I went to he game and although they didn't line up like the Aussies did I wouldn't say they were disrespectful at all. They all seemed to be standing still as far as I saw.

We are quite a hypocritical society in a way that we are shocked and saddened by these events that are occurring and in turn fear for our safety and way of life.

How many Westerners world wide have been killed or injured by dickheads who get behind the wheel when pissed or on drugs compared to people who get killed by extremist activity? None of that is on the front page of papers and takes up breaking news stories and that occurs far more often with many more victims.

It's horrible don't get me wrong but there needs to be a proper response to this rather than taking shots at religious populations world wide

Interest in the new RAH.

Hang on... It's all our credit cards....

Good One Labour.

Was it over a year after estimate completion.

you dont even need to compare it to driving - the amount of people killed by extremist activity in non-western countries is insane but we barely bat an eyelid when the brown people die.

Don't really follow either party religiously.

Our old hospital was falling to bits and was towards the end of its 'technology life'

Would rather it take longer and get it right.


Same people complain about roadworks but also complain about the poor quality of roads
