    Is saying 'toilet' gross? This American expat says so

    How nice it must be in the USA when it has to use fancy and misleading terms for a plain old dunny. A bog is a bog (or a dunny, a loo, the wee house etc). A bathroom is where you wash yourself, a toilet is where you deposit some bodily waste/break bits off/ pooh/defaecate etc etc etc...

    Will you welcome these songbirds on your flight? Travellers put 'over the edge' over one song number

    Do you mean that people who believe in safe practices, people who don't like the sound of children singing, or even people who just want a quiet, restful flight don't have a live? Just because they don't share your opinions and values? Maybe it is you who needs to get a life - or a reality...

    Simple yard job turns shocker as $200 plants vanish overnight

    My experience with heliconias is they will come back - in force - with a bit of water and time. Some plants actually benefit from a hard pruning. Himself always cuts our roses back hard every winter ('when they have stopped flowering', he says, but sometimes the roses don't realise they...

    Outrage erupts after sacred site hit by unknown substance

    They "meant no harm"; they were "honouring" the dead. BULLSHIT How does spraying oil on something honour anything? Oil is slippery - some innocent could have slipped and seriously injured him/herself. The oil has defaced the stone, even if it is no longer slippery. But some Questions...

    Parking your car with THIS sign could cost you $166—don’t risk it!

    I have driven around with a 'for sale' sign in a window - but only to go shopping etc. I understood it was illegal to park on the roadside -and I'm not sure I'd be game enough to do so even if it was legal. Vandals don't care whose property they destroy

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    The parents migrated to Australia to escape the violence. Their offspring weren't raised to respect Australian laws and customs. Deport the kids at least, and possibly the parents who refused to teach their offspring that our laws and customs were perfectly valid and preferable to what they...

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    If it was a case of mistaken identity, then anybody else meeting the same identity criteria as those two boys were chosen for is equally at risk. Frightening, isn't it?

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    The possession of any unlicensed or illegal weapon should be considered 'intent to do actual bodily harm or even murder', and result in detention (I prefer in a psychiatric institution for the criminally insane the criminal can prove s/he is fit to be released back into society. No parole...

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    I'm no do-gooder- I certainly agree with your sentiment. Most of the 'gangs' are from families who came to Australia to escape the violence of their homeland (for want of a better world) - so why do they perpetrate the same violence here? Deportation is the best solution - couldn't trust...

    Online predators raise alarm over everyday school snapshots

    Good on you. A person after my own heart! Antisocial media is only used if I'm looking for something that might be for sale near me. It has some uses - but not many!

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    How is the ban on machete's enforced? If it's illegal to carry one, how is it that a gang of young men looking for trouble can wander around carrying at least one? There are too many such laws which are just not adequately enforced - not enough police, courts too lenient, too many outlets...
