Whilst the guys in the shopfront look the part, poor Gina Reinhardt (hope I spelt it correctly) just does not look right. It looks like she has just come back from a night on the town with the girls with her helmet starting to slide off. The shopfront display would be offensive to some of the...

Oh, for goodness sake! Brushing? What next?

Our precious lives belong to us; it is, therefore, our choice what to do with them. It should not matter what anyone else thinks about how we might handle it, so we should be given the facility to end it if we so choose.

Unfortunately, a smoker is the only one who can stop him/herself from smoking. It is a disgusting habit, and all smokers know it. If you try to confront them with it in their best interests, they become very aggravated and deny that they are ruining their health. I have a friend who is a heavy...

That's a good point. I'm sorry about that. I kind of got it reversed somehow. I'm sure you got the meaning, though.

Gone too soon, RIP.

The decision should be a Jail term of 5 years for each dog involved, a hefty fine, a year of community service for each dog concerned, take away her dogs and ban her from owning any animals for the rest of her natural life. As for the media involved a multi-million dollar fine and no access to...

I do not drive anymore so I get around by leg force and guidance through my assistance dog. A couple of years ago, on a walk we were passing a Maccas in our area, and it was around mid day. I was a little hungry and thought I would go in (against my better judgment) and have some Maccas. I was...

We did it to ourselves. Advanced technology is taking away jobs. The modern era of the dollar being king and forgetting the result on human nature. We are the ones who forced young people to be so dependent on technology that they cannot learn the basics of the three R's. I sit here with my...

Thank goodness, I will return to shopping at KMart in the future.

What a great thing to complain about!

Oh well, we all know why he moved to Thailand, don't we? It is where local women can be bought and sold for next to nothing and even less if there is a prospect of achieving an Australian passport through the faint perfume of a shonky marriage proposal to a weak-minded, reject Aussie.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head here. I once lived with a Bedouin tribe for six months on the edge of the Sahara Desert many years back. There is not much of a problem with water there—there isn't any! So, the few watering holes, oases, which are available, are very sparingly used...

Having been brought up by a single parent (mother), there are a couple of considerations here. Whilst I agree with your statements, there has to be consideration for special circumstances. My mother worked three jobs so she could give us a decent home and was able to send me to a good school...

I have to say that the PNG Government has definitely not done the wrong thing, but perhaps they could have toned it down to limited usage. I think that would be in line with protecting people's freedom of speech, etc.
