  1. Re:Advantages to Censorship on Australian Censorship Bypassed Before Live Trials · · Score: 1

    Actually it's Fuer Howards plan, voting out the Liberal government did nothing to stop such foolishness.

    My vote counted for nothing.....NOTHING!

    That was exactly my thought. Just nickname him ripoff boatboy.

  3. Re:Wow.. on Australia's ISPs Speak Out Against Filtering · · Score: 1

    Most Australians don't know what is in our constitution, it isn't taught in schools either. I would wager greater than ninety percent of Australians haven't even viewed our constitution, let alone read and understood its implications.

  4. Re:They must be trying to change the game... on Rock Band Licenses The Beatles · · Score: 1

    You can't teach "good taste", sure the 60-70 had great music, but if everyone had good taste WTF was everyone running round with the giant flare/bellbottom pant and the platform shoes?

    You just reminded me of......

    Ah, Kryten; just thinking. [Rapidly] Assuming of course we're not dealing with five-dimensional objects in a basic Euclidean geometric universe and given the essential premise that all geo-mathematics is based on the hideously limiting notion that one plus one equals two, and not as Astemeyer correctly postulates that one and two are in fact the same thing observed from different precepts, (Pulls a "nerdy" grimace, and loudly exhales through his nose.) the theoretical shape described by Siddus must therefore be a poly-dri-doc-deca-wee-hedron-a-hexa-sexa-hedro-adicon-a-di-bi-dolly-he-deca-dodron. (Pulls the same face, exhales a second time.) Everything else is poppycock. Isn't that so?

    actually it was only the guy running the slave labor that coun't say planetarium due to his disability of not bewing able to say the t in planetarium.

  14. Re:And yet... on Afghan Student Gets 20 Years For Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    Same thing can be said of alcohol. Maybe alcohol should be illegal? Oh thats right we already tried that.

  15. Re:And yet... on Afghan Student Gets 20 Years For Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    Alcohol and presription/OTC drugs in various combinations can have a similar effect. End of the day you mix drugs expect the unexpected. Still absolutely no reason to keep marijuana illegal.

    I question your marijuana prevent vomiting hypothesis though. I have tried marijuana on occasion and I have had to much and "greened out". Symptoms were overheating, nausea and, wait for it, vomiting. (That may have been due to tobacco mixed with it though as is the custom in my area.)

  16. Re:And yet... on Afghan Student Gets 20 Years For Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    Yes the smoking statistics are larger but I believe a lot of that is due to....

    Doc. You have lung cancer.
    Patient. OH noes!!!
    Doc. Ever smoke tobacco?
    Patient. yeah when I was 15 years younger.
    Doc. Another tobacco related cancer!

    When other things have been known to cause lung cancer. If you ever smoked it is always attributed to smoking.

  19. Re:Answer: Money on How US Schools' Culture Stifles Math Achievement · · Score: 1

    Yes those shows are very good and everything but cultural norms will still prevent them from getting the same sort of coverage and hype of something like the olympics. What is needed is a cultural shift, these shows are a step in the right direction.
