Another example of the breakdown in society. If a business can't keep its people safe, it can't operate. Violence in the stores helps nobody - but probably gives the violent person a thrill. Look at me! I'm TOUGH! Solution? Back to the bad old days, when you had to wait behind a...

The more 'clever' the car is, the more things can go wrong. Maybe the increase in motor vehicle accidents is because the car computer is doing all the thinking for the driver, and machines can't think. They can only do what they've been told to do, and if there's a hiccup in the programing...

1. If an offer is "too good to be true".... well, most of us know it isn't true, but there are still gullible fools. 2. Himself used to repair electrical appliances, and absolutely refuses the 'extended warranty' from any store or 2nd party (as extended warranties always are, even if the...

Banks are corporate businesses. They are in it to make money for their shareholders (as well as ridiculously high wages for the upper echelon). It's what business does. Regulating (that horror!) one source of income will mean the business has to make it somewhere else. The government...

Buy now, pay later - but fail to make a payment, and interest is charged on the entire amount, not just the balance outstanding. I pay cash where I can. I pay in full and on time whenever I can. It's cheaper. I don't like putting things on the drip feed because I might have the money...

The more crowded the living density, the less people you actually meet, let alone get to know. You 'lose yourself in a crowd', and you're never so lonely as when you're in a crowd without a friend. Especially when people around you seem to know each other. Personal experience.

This is a new finding? Or did I just assume it was a self-evident truth, well known, many years ago?

Climbing on soap-box #2. You can be Australian You can be Iranian You cannot be both.

You have the point I was thinking of making! but Entitled people like her think everyone else should be inconvenienced rather than she actually do something to help herself!

I'd suggest caltrop or innocent weed - but they can be very invasive. Although putting man-made caltrops could serve as a serious deterrent - and you could claim, in all innocence, that it was part of your border arrangement...

Too true.

Too true

"For some offenders, it may be about saving money in the middle of cost-of-living pressures." - and this justifies theft? The thief 'saves money' while his/her victim loses money. Bougainvillea don't mind being pruned, so in this instance the theft might not have cost the victim much...

Everything Trump does affects Australia adversely. He's a wannabe Hitler getting way to close to his goal. He admires all Fascist dictators (including Putin) so won't do anything serious to deter their inevitable quest for more land and power. China is way to close to us. We're in the...

So did I!

Note he picked the (relatively) harmless and usually non-agressive freshie (freshwater crocodile). From watching (unintentionally - but Himself likes to watch some things) some footage of US people hunting alligators, I came to the conclusion that alligators are not nearly as dangerous as our...
