Capitalism = if you have no economic worth, you have no value. Homeless people, elderly, disabled people, animals, the environment. It all gets pissed away and they convince you that its fair too. “Why should WE pay for saving the enivornment?” Well...

I know it sounds rough but it makes sense to me. Most Aussies dont give a shit about politics, they dont know whats going on in terms of climate change, refugees, the global economy, the overpopulation crises, the resource shortage. Almost all reactions are simply knee jerk responses that reek of ignorance and mistrust.
Most aussies dont do any independent research, do not believe in climate...

Undemocratic Austalia
A lot of government decisions are being made undemocratically. Australia used to have cheap and certainly affordable housing. Developers and businesses are have exploited it for too long, and now we have the most expensive in the world. Australians, the majority, do not want a “high rise” future. Some may, but families should live in houses, with back yards. We are not in Hong Kong...

Good friend, bad friend?
Most of the time you wont understand my behaviour, you wont know why I don’t enjoy hanging with that group of people, you wont know why I flit in and out of your social life.
You wont understand how one day I can be fully there, giving the best encouragement and advice, and then you won’t see me for months. You may wonder if I care about you at all. What can I say? There’s only...

Asil Arara a 4 year old girl from Anata. While playing with her brother outside she was shot by an Israeli sniper who hit her with live ammunition in the neck.

No more words needed, nor imaginable. So when, will you wake up from your slumber and stand up against these atrocities?

Thats why I will watch these horrific videos of people dying in the middle east, and why I will continue to watch and post these.
Watching these videos shows respect, interest, and compassion for those suffering. It is not disrespectful to watch their inhumane situation. It IS IMMORAL to ignore these videos and shut them from your life as if you never saw them.
Yes they are horrific. So is...

Chilling news for climate sceptics
We know that the temperature rise over the past five decades is abrupt and very large.
Nobody’s fudging the numbers, or manipulating data to win research grants, as Perry claims. Nor are they making an undue fuss over a “naturally occurring” warm-up, as Bachmann alleges. The science is real.
It is the know-nothing politicians — not scientists — who are committing an unforgivable fraud.
