But what did you take away from the yes argument when considering a change to the constitution.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
Better than a one-liner, but is still quite the (at times impassioned, at times vaguely general) abridgement. "It can't shut the voice up!" comes off a bit acrimonious, but maybe that's just Oz 101. The little blurb about checking your sources at the end, yes more people should be doing that.
This doesn't mean the slogan didn't sound reductive, disconnected, and a bit condescending, though, at least imo.

This was the pamphlet every household got. For a lot of people this was the only in depth arguments they saw for both sides so it was in the best interest to get everything across.

You're saying it like a one line catch phrase was the depth of their whole campaign, and not just something one guy said. You have to remember this was a year long campaign, you'd think something other than saying it's just the right thing to do because if you don't you're "racist".unnamednewbie13 wrote:
If a proposal isn't well fleshed-out or a Bad Idea, opposition should at the very least articulate why with the same energy as they output their one-line catchphrase.
But that's just like, my opinion man.
The AEC even sent out a pamphlet with 5 pages of each sides arguments side by side, every household got it. Perfect opportunity to make a non emotional argument, and it was a flop. The no camp presented arguments about what the repercussions would be if it didn't work, the uncertainty of what it would entail etc. It was just I'd you don't know vote no.
That's what I mean
I think it would have, it was polling at 70% yes when it was initially raised. It was just a very, very poor and not thought out campaign.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Not really, this is would have been a change that required another expensive referendum and a double majority to undo, not just within parliament. This wasn't something that is like say banning guns or recognising indigenous Australians as people rather than fauna. This was something that needed pretty clear details other than "if you vote no you're a racist". That's ultimately why it failedunnamednewbie13 wrote:

Exactly
It wasn't legislation, it was a change to our Constitution, the legislation was going to be figure out "later". On the surface it seems like a great thing to do, the trouble wasn't so much in the details, it's that there wasn't any details. There was hundreds of millions spent on campaigning and conducting the referendum, and countless opportunities to answer the many questions asked around the point. And the polling before the question was worded was very positive to the point that it was almost unthinkable that it wouldn't pass. It was putting an advisory body to the government with nothing really detailing the who what and how behind the whole thing, and because it would have been part of the Constitution you'd need another referendum to remove it if the Voice didn't work or wasn't suitable.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
Point.
It's just funny to me when an opposition against legislation is nearly or more vague than the legislation they're accusing of vagueness. Granted, it probably gets a better result (politically) in some cases creating a scary unknown rather than detailing why you think something should be scrapped. I suppose agencies like Fox and Sky will tell people what to think anyway.
Doesn't make for very exciting for/against dialog though.
Yes vote relied on "it's the vibe of the thing", the no vote wasnt convinced that was enough. I can see both sides but I'm not surprised by the results and the plummeting polls as the vote drew nearer.
I've heard that that part of world is quite beautiful and would have liked to have gone one day.
Hamas should eat some humble pie, release the hostages and ask Israel to come to the table
Time to show restraint is when Hamas launches a rocket barrage and the iron dome intercepts it. Not when they encircle kids dancing at a festival, massacre them and take hundreds of hostages, especially when the whole Palestinian population the world over comes out of the woodwork in support of that terrorist attack.
Hamas knew that Israel would not take that laying down, they knew that the counterstrike would likely be massive and level large swathes of Gaza and kill thousands, and yet they did it anyway. They clearly don't care about their own, and that is why it was a boneheaded decision and any deaths from the retaliation lays with them. Israel has the right do defend themselves, and they should to the fullest extent.

Taking up swimming this summer. I can't swim well, but I have aspirations at work that require strong swimming. Have faith in me.
I'm finding it hard to believe that people are surprised or maddened by Israel's response. Politics and history aside of you're gonna understake an operation on the scale that Hamas did you'd want it to be an overwhelming blow. If Gaza gets leveled that is purely on Hamas for being so bone headed.

I hear there are some good medieval mods for RTW2, but we are due for a true medieval game
The artist just recognises that after years of poor money management there's not enough money to go around, and it needs to be better spent to help the most needy. Why spend money on foreign aid when there isn't enough in the budget for domestic welfare projects? Why increase the strain on the public health system due to poor nutrition and over eating when it can be spent on counseling and feeding those that are going through bins downtown looking for their next meal? Noble.
I have only seen a few lyrics, but the only people I see being demonized are the haves, at the expense of the have-nots. Robin Hood should get a writing credit.

Sounds like a classic story of taking from the haves to give to the have-nots, and the plight of toxic masculinity and ignoring men's mental health. This is an anthem of the left dressed in a country song, don't be fooled.
Couldn't hurt
I'm still no closer to finding out who I should vote for though.
Ofcourse the perfect scenario isn't possible, just like you can't become a trillionaire and run a company of tens thousands who are starving and homeless because you don't pay them. It's a spectrum and right now the spectrum is far too one sided. In Australia alone since like 08 or 9 at least 90% of the economic growth has gone to the top 10%, while the bottom 90% have to fight over less than 10% of the economic growth. That rate of growing inequality is staggering, unsustainable and you if believe it is ethical something is wrong with you.Dilbert_X wrote:

It used to be the other way round where the bottom 90% got the lions share. The rich got richer, but for most it was an achievable if not difficult aspiration, or at least you could dream that one day you could 'make it'. I've got nothing against working hard, building a business and taking on that risk and earning well to become well off. I have got an issue with fancy accounting to take advantage tax loop holes, hedge funds, not drawing an income because you get paid in stocks etc. At least until im rich and then I'm calling cybargs to do me some deals.
You could have a billion bucks, have 950 million of that taken away to support the other 90% of the rabble and never work another day of your life and live in absolute luxury off the interest alone. No one needs a billion dollars. But no one will ever do that and I wouldn't support it either. But I believe everyone should be able to go to school, work 38 hours a week, own their home, have kids, take a holiday and not worry about what they are going to eat, and not worry they are going to die from diabetes, and I believe that is doable. And is it really too much to make sure that those that most need it have a roof over their heads and some rice and veg in their bellies? They don't need an indoor pool and day spa to go with it.
Australia has a lot of things right, I never need to worry about dying from diabetes, I love a decent quality of life, I grew up poor and while I am not well off now I am doing ok, homelessness is low, education is high. I don't think at this rate my kids will be able to have a better quality of life than me though, which historically was pretty much a given.

Whats the difference between that and regular ol conservatism?Sounnds like the same thing to me, church and god, no queers, no abortions, drags are bad, thats just every stereotypical right of centre person. Also, I'm not religious.
Best prison on earth
I don't know what you mean by deus vult solial conservative. I feel like there should be help for the needy, everyone should have access to quality free and affordable health care, I feel like those without means should still have access to tertiary education through programs, scholarships etc. There should be affordable housing and no-one deserves to go hungry and homeless. I don't think that gender, race, sexual orientation or religion should be a defining factor for those 'in need' though. Unions are important.
I believe that people should be more personally accountable and not blame every issue on being 'oppressed' by the system, everyone knows what the rules are and the consequences of your actions, and people should look at what an offender did rather than the colour of their skin before passing judgement on the police. Parents need to parent their children and guide them to live a better life than they did. I don't think the police should be de-funded, and I think the police are overworked and under appreciated. I believe that everyone is by their existence born equal and should be treated as such. Like MLK said, by the content of their character not the colour of their skin. I will call you by your pronouns but I don't have to believe them. I have an issue with drag queens not because I think they are dangerous to kids but because of their over-the-top personas, same as I don't like 'woo girls'. That doesn't make me a bigot, I just find you annoying. I believe sexuality is on a spectrum and I believe it can be influenced by your surroundings, that doesn't mean its bad though.
I speak only for Australia though, arguably the most multicultural country on the planet where for the most part every culture has assimilated well into a larger cultural identity, but I feel like some people like to turn americas problems into our problems even if they don't exist, creating more division rather unity. America seems to have a big complex mess on their hands and way more people than us.
e: oh and just because you were a bit weird growing up and maybe watched too much anime and couldn't differentiate that from real life that doesn't mean you are now xenogender or some-such. Too many people construe character quirks with gender and I do believe that gender-politics can be damaging to kids that are a bit more out there or have trouble fitting in. You can just be a weird boy or girl, its ok.

I am fiscally progressive but socially conservative. I find that not many people are like that and nearly everyone will disagree about me with something no matter the circle. I don't fit in with the left, right, or even the centre. Lucky politics isn't a big deal here, living in America would be skating thin ice I imagine.

I wouldn't say what you described as coffee culture though, just coffee addiction.
Coffee culture is scoffing at instant coffee because it's not a cold press ethical single source Ethiopian mild roast made by a disadvantaged minority trans barrista with a Pokemon half sleeve and rockabilly hairstyle working at a hole in the wall cafe with furniture made of pallets. And don't you dare add milk or sugar, it ruins the notes from those volatiles. There's a company that actually patented the concept of pouring coffee over a whisky stone.
Super obnoxious.

I don't know how to pronounce the name of this girl I am seeing. I met her on an app. The name is "Taran." She is Indian. I am too many dates in to ask her how to pronounce her name. I made out with her already too.
She made a reservation to a restaurant. When I got there I asked her what name she put it under. She said "my name." So I said 4:45 reservation. I was hoping she would say her name aloud to the waiter. She didn't.
This has happened before. There is this Moroccan substitute teacher named Ldymd or something like that. I hooked up with girl back in February. I still haven't a clue how to pronounce her name. I know this girl was genuinely upset when I didn't keep going out with her meanwhile I didn't know how to pronounce her name.
...
The Indian girl is terrible at kissing by the way. Probably the worst kisser I have ever kissed. She close her opens and closes her mouth really fast like a fish.
I tried to get her to go slow and not do that but she still does it just slower. I can't wait to see how she fucks.
...
I usually use the dating app to filter women from the Middle East and India. Oftentimes they are more prudish than others. I had sex on the first date with a few women from the apps before. So making a commitment to seeing a girl who kisses like a fish a bunch of times until I get to sleep with her isn't something I would do normally. She messaged me first though. If she didn't message me I wouldn't have pursued.

My cat comes up for a pat every now and again, but mostly curls up in his favourite spots and sleeps. We can go away for a couple of weeks and come back and he is completely indifferent, so long as someone comes by daily to make sure he is fed and watered. The dogs will behave like its the second coming of Christ though, they will great us at the door and curl up at our feet when we sit down. They would die for us.
Also, anecdotally if we ever called to break into a house for a concern for welfare if we come across a deceased of more than a couple days who has cats its almost even odds the cats have at least had a nibble, if not actively started taking chunks from you. I am yet to encounter a dog doing the same.
