Gotta love it. The AG has been funding a group who are trying to discern a link between video games and violence. Biased much?

And then to top it off, you have the fine intellectual fellows from the Christian Lobby to top it off :

'A media release sent out earlier on the day Dr Warburton's comment was aired on TV read: "Gaming industry claims that the link between violent computer games and aggressive thoughts or behaviour is unproven are reminiscent of the tactics of tobacco companies in questioning the link between smoking and lung cancer, the Australian Christian Lobby said."'

Riiiiiight - I dunno about any of you guys that play first person shooters, but I'm yet to murder anyone

;P

bit of a bias with that dickhead atkinson eh? I mean hes there vilifying gamers in general, and here we find hes actually giving money to people who are >actively trying< to find a link between violence and gaming. They (and by extension atkinson) lost all pretense of objectivity the moment they set out. You look hard enough at anything and you'll see a pattern, no matter how spurious.... I just wonder what planet this guy is on, first he says hes more afraid of gamers than bikies (hahahaahahahah) and now this..

Ironic thing about this all, is that mental health therapists use FPS simulations on returned soldiers with post traumatic stress disorder to help them become more stable, productive members of society.

God I hate labor right now.

End rant.

You voted them in, you have no one to blame but yourself and others like you :D

Ahh but not in the state election. Last two times I voted green (i tend to vote green in state elections)

But you're right federally

K rudd disappointed. Mind you I also voted Howard in and spent the next 3 elections trying to get the bastard out.

I suppose all politicians are destined to disappoint me

-D

Edit - I should be used to the fact that there are 'core' and 'non core' promises eh? Like we can just say whatever during the election campaign, and we'll get away with not fufilling it as the opposition infights and generally doesnt do the job of keeping the incumbent pollies honest. Oh how I wish the democrats hadnt imploded

Don't think they would be any better. And despite what you may say about Howard he did a f**kton more for this country than dickface ever will

and that sir, is a debate that could take a long long time to resolve (not saying rudd isnt a disappointment, totally is - gillard woulda been better)

personally, i think costello is more to thank for the improvements than howard, much is the shame howard didnt step aside for him but thems the breaks

and i dont think the democrats had any real pull as a major power, but it was better tho when they had the balance of power in the senate - id certainly prefer them to have the balance of power than barney joyce or family first... (even tho barney is good for some laughs now and again)

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
