When the eldest left home - no biggie. He didn't go to uni, instead headed off to the mines of WA and did pretty well for himself. When the youngest left it was more...interesting. Essentially the marriage imploded and life developed in completely unexpected ways. We (my first wife & I) found that w...

You only listen to music from a 20 year period? How narrow... minded. I have recorded music that spans nearly 100 years. From early US folk from the 20s to today. The 90s and somewhat less so 80s were hugely influential for me. But I’ve had no issue finding and enjoying music from the 00s & 10s. Wh...

The best bit about music from the 2010's is that I don't have to listen to it In my ancient youf it was hard to escape whatever was the genre of the day, even when you had little interest in (or an active dislike of) it. Now that media consumption has shattered into a million different outlets I can...

On the last point, it may be fun to laugh about it, but I can't think the Kurds find it particularly amusing. Wot? Sen might get a laugh out of it, but I would doubt that the people who are directly affected by it would. No-one was talking about the Kurds. Why bring up this complete non-sequitur? W...

(1) do you not think that we need a way through this political impasse? (2) do you not think that our current ruling class is not fit for purpose? (3) do you not think that another ruling class or system must be found? No, no, and no, because I DO think all of those things. There is an argument to ...

He’s right though, bro. We are pricks to lose to though. We have a long list of galling things we do after a win. Such as - not to accept that every marginal call went in our favor - suggesting that maybe the ref wasn't completely bent and favoring us. - pointing out that some calls actually went a...

This is an interesting read: news.com.au By: Jamie Seidel There's a drama of Shakespearean proportions unfolding in the United States. It has ambitious children. Scheming politicians. A paranoid king. The knives are out in the Capitol Hill rotunda. But, there's a twist: It's not about President Dona...

It has to be the 70s surely? Terrible fashion, god awful food fashions, shit economy, rampant crime rates, rundown shithole cities, horrendous television, and hideous porn. Is the 70s truly the decade that the world wants to forget? Even the music was kinda crappy (Disco should never have existed)....

I’m going to do some serious name-dropping now, but at the heart of this is the reality of motor racing back in the sixties and seventies. I met one of my heroes at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in 1970 - Jochen Rindt. I would have been 18 and was a big fan of Gold Leaf Team Lotus whose F1 Dr...

Yes they can but I was using the term as a synonym for search. There’s a certain threshold of censorship or content limiting that most people are willing to put up with before they migrate to an alternative, and Google and YouTube despite their dominance will be aware that they’re replaceable.

I think that's been misread. I was referring to the colonizers, not the colonized. the original "leg up" that the descendants of the colonizing group had I.e, people like me. OK Just thinking this through then: What you haven't found is something explaining why recent arrivals, who did not undergo ...

I've seen some of the research that concludes that colonization has resulted in those who were colonized being disadvantaged and having poorer outcomes than the colonizing group, and I don't think that conclusion is in dispute. What the studies I saw didn't do was explain exactly why these outcomes...

It seems to be inevitable that the fallout from incidents like this seems to be huge amounts of generalizations, TSA-level profiling, and every damn group available reaching for the victim card while accusing another group of doing the same thing. Dammit. A thread on PR is not indicative of general...

I don't like that fact the people are pissed off and ready to explode when they come from a position of profound ignorance - but its true. There is profound ignorance in both directions.

Gun control is a red herring. As we've seen in the past, a well planned attack by an extremist can kill plenty of people without any guns. The conversation we should be having is why and how was this guy radicalised? The theory of crime postulates that crime = motivation + opportunity. Gun control ...
