Omi, it was definitely true, try googling that headline. They've since changed it to 'Aborigines' but you can still see the headline in the google results.

Just shameful.

Red Rock Deli chips are the best chips. No, grain waves.

Do you plays the Halos or Duties? I think my thoughts are known on this and I do not wish to troll tonight.

Does not compute.

I'd rather have a force with tatoos than no force at all.

Same here. I don't have a problem with it. Mainly because the police force is already pulled apart and tied together so they can't get anything done. Tattoos don't make a person. You can stereotype a person by one but it does not make them all fuckwits.

For anyone that put "Grain Waves", seriously try the rosemary and onion (or brown onion or roast onion or something?) Safeway(/Woolies, if you must) knockoff ones. The chips aren't as good, but holy hell the flavour is out of this world. Literally.

we will be in recession because of you, Due to the incessant talking down of the economy by mr idiot we now have lower consumer confidence then every single euro zone country in crisis


that is beyond ridiculous

I'll go and buy some shit I don't need from JB tomorrow. That'll bump it.

to do that a referendum must occur.

For it to pass 75% required


Does anyone honestly think we would get 75% 'Yes' vote on this?

This is the proper way to end a film.

 

[Choc]

Ventron

he constantly says australia is econonomically destroyed by this government etc etc


whilst it may be true the economic management has not been the best, the Liberals beholding the ALP to a surplus for political gain when every economist in Australia with a brain is saying you cannot have a surplus in this environment and maintain adequate growth and support systems is ridiculous

Hockey and Abbott always talk the economy down, people get scared, stop buying shit and thus we now have consumer confidence lower than greece. Greece for fuck sake.

It was an independant non politician who put the blame on abbott, a professor in economics. It was on the ABC (yes funded by the government but uh... i kinda trust the ABC more than the commercials) just before.


Given the way our retailers are doing fred, i believe our confidence is lower than Europes consumers. Europe consumers have generally been very resilient.

All other factors are more positive sure, but seriously if what the ABC says is true that we have lower confidence than europe that is bannanas

You are blind if you think Abbotts continuous running down of the economy is good for this nation. It's not. It would be the same if the Liberals were in Government and i was hearing this. I'd be crapping on the ALP for running the economy down.

Malcolm Turnbull needs to roll Abbott, fast.

 

[Fredescu]

For it to pass 75% required

Dude.

 

[Planet_JASE]

Bullshit.

Aren't I awesome?

Dude.

In order to pass a referendum, the bill must ordinarily achieve a double majority: a majority of those voting throughout the country, as well as separate majorities in each of a majority of states (4 of 6). In certain circumstances, where any state or states are affected by a referendum then a majority of voters in those states must also agree to the change.

There is still a lot of people out there who think this would be a very bad idea, generally older folk

In general, the older you are the more racist you are. I have seen it many times. It's not easy to pass referendums

I hope if it happens we all vote yes and it happens, but i think i am being a realist on this

maybe you all disagree

 

[reptilescorpio]

So WMP refuses to not run a process. Recommendations for Process Managers so I can keep the thing killed? Can't remember the one I used on XP.

I cancelled an order today so it will even out. Win win?

"Talking the economy down" is a tired out party line and a bit of political spin used by both sides for many years. We've been over this so many times in this thread and it's late, but the reason consumers are spending less in Australia is because everyone is already in debt up to their eyeballs and can't spend any more. There is no more growth to be had.

Yeah, so 75% has nothing to do with it. Of course it's not likely to pass, referendums literally never do.

 

[Choc]

yes fred i agree

because of housing unaffordability

but we used to have a love affair with our credit cards. Wasn't abbott that killed it, that was the GFC.

but abbott continuously saying that the economy is farked, does not help

edit:

Given freds comments that the referendum is unlikely to pass (what do the rest of you think?), what do you think the consequences of going to a referendum and failing be

Aboriginals would be kinda pissed off, and rightly so. And there are rogue elements clearly (that we saw last week) that could cause havoc.

 

[Fredescu]

but abbott continuously saying that the economy is farked, does not help

It mightn't help, but it's not enough to cause a recession like you've suggested.

For what it's worth, I agree with you about the referendum thing. It will never get up, and will just piss people off when it doesn't.

Yes

ok saying he caused it entirely himself, is not correct.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I don't think it will get a referendum.

The rouge elements you are talking of from last week are pretty overblown Choc. The flag burning, yes that is stupid, but it isn't the first time someone has burnt a flag.

We have less to worry about from rogue tent embassy individuals than from all the current shit going on, such as bikies shooting each other.

Gold Coast bikies have more civilized methods. They hold you down and chop off your ears with craft scissors*.

My current concern is a firebug has lit 9 fires in the past month in our area. Little bit concerning that someone would do this in such a big area.

Nothing beats a salty cheesy corn chip.

 

[Planet_JASE]

The purpose of a referendum is to spend a shit load of money diverting attention away from matters that the populations should really, deeply be concerned with.

Say, what's this? I've arrived home to a Steam group invitation! That is great, thanks folks. Gratefully accepted.

Also, feel free to idle or converse in the group chat here whenever you have the time. There's usually people around at all hours.

Oh man I just finished season 1 of Downton Abbey and loved it. What a great show. If you want to watch a show about snooty rich people then this show is for you. TV is so awesome right now.

I know I'll be one of the few on GAF but I love me some Halo. It was pretty much the game I spent my later teenage years playing. Still a fan.

Doing a great job to not make us look like a bunch of racists media guys! Class act.

There really is no defending that. It's fucking disgusting but as the self appointed spokesman for the media on GAF, in the journalists defence it would be sub editors writing the headlines. Not 100% on the Mercury, but I'm pretty sure Pagemasters does all News Ltd. Also Fairfax.

Of course it possibly was the editor. They often keep control of the more important pages. Like 1,3,5. But I doubt this would have been in the Mercury

Salty. You should try some Asian chips man. Grain waves are great though. And every once in a while I crave twisties.

Have a 3DS. But I've come to realise I buy a lot of shit I dont play. So maybe I'll buy a Vita when it's cheap.

that and i want to test my new gutters out. sad i know but very true.

Also why on Earth doesn't the Steam app have Group Chat, it's the ONE thing I wanted it for.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

i wrote an imgur roulette type script. i added functionality so it checks for bung images but it regularly timesout. hit porn one (1) time. Seriously. once. crazy shit.

it just hit this:

what the fark?

 

[BananaArnie]

so its a random button for the imgur website?

edit: haha what

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

so its a random button for the imgur website?

edit: haha what

yes, it is.

i removed validation, i removed linebreaks so images load side-by-side instead of on each line.

added some $num clamping.

keep in mind if you try it out, it is potentially nsfw. if any mods (eatchildren) think this is bad then ill remove the link, no stress. im not exactly controlling this so its kind of a mixed bag. most of the time it isnt though.

also try not to hammer my bandwidth too much ahaha

edit: would be good if i posted the link ey: http://andrewsimeon.com/!sekrit/imgur_randomiser.php

since posting this i have been scrolling through 500 images (broken and not) at a time. i have created a monster.

edit3: im very confused as to why people post pictures of themselves in such ways, then think its totally alright to upload them to a public picture website.

oh that is not what i thought that would do.
on that note
fat lot of does not exist just popped up.
out of the 30 it tried to load only 5 are valid. one of them being cartoon porn. so thanks for that.

edit: what the crap am i looking at. some weird stocking foot fetish stuff now.
edit 2: yep 49 broken 1 hentai. you really have created a monster. good job.
edit 3: just as you did. my third edit will be me saying. whats with all the porn on imgur

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

Not much I can do about the broken images. I'm just generating random sets of letters and numbers and plonking a .jpg or .gif on the end. I had some validation, but anything more than 3 images it'd shit itself. I might need to somehow have a database of bad files that it skips.

Looks like gmg are trying to get more twitter followers so they can pump out another 50% off sale on skyrim at 12:00gmt . Might be something to keep an eye on if you still want the game.

I'm still hoping I can get it from steam. A 25% off sale plus my 33% off coupon would be nice. Only because I have no other use for that stupid coupon.

 

[BananaArnie]

HIGH FIVES all round for stupid steam coupons.
so im looking at knife sets. those are expensive. i kinda hoped i would have found a job at this point so it would be less painful when i go out and possibly drop 400 on some new knives.
