I'm sure there were, but they aren't the ones preaching tolerance. The anti-bigot left are some of the worst bigots I've ever seen.

Yeah but how many "fair trade" coffee shops and such can the place support. You pretty much can't even fart in Tassie without greenie approval, nothing is going to happen there. Refugees, sorry illegal imigrants?...not with my taxes.

On the surface it sounds like a good idea, but, what happens when they get there and have to rely on welfare because the greens have stamped out virtually all industry in Tassy? RE: protests in US .....I just love the way the lefties preach tolerance until something doesn't go their way. Only then do we see the real nature of the beast we are dealing with.

I sometimes wonder how the left managed without the internet. Yep, no point at all. you are talking to a closed mind. Something about chess with pigeons comes to mind.....but, I admire your perseverance

I'm lead to believe that it's all the rage on t'interwebs these days.

Ahhh asumptions.,.. you are assuming he's transparent and not that the light bends around him.

Despite your feeling of guilt, I am not guilty of any atrocity towards the aboriginal race. While the boomerang may have been "developed" and "improved", I very much doubt that the first one was anything other than a fluke find, as many famous discoveries have been. The idea that someone set out to design the first one is extremely unlikely.

Are you suggesting that you believe that the first person to make a boomerang came up with an aerodynamic design (using their advanced aerodynamic knowledge)for a tool that would fly spinning through the air and return depending on how it was launched, then set about crafting the design and then, after tweaking the aerodynamics, using their knowledge of aerodynamics, settled on the current design, or used similar process?

Smut???? I just made it about aviation, whereas before it was about a house.

There.....al sorted. [ATTACH]48023._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Surely you jest....I don't think I've ever passed a Hyundai driven by a little girl who wasn't texting or on the phone. To be realistic, driver and pax are probably texting each other.

I dispute that it's dangerous, as I have just come back from doing it on my motorcycle. Signing on the dotted line has brought me far more misery, it cost's a lot to get that marriage certificate "unsigned".

I've ways liked this....[ATTACH]48633._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Sounds about right, I used to get stuck behind the same one (little girl) regularly on my route to work. I could swear she spent more time watching out her rear view mirror, so she could block every move to go around.

Hey it's not just me... Jumping on the Wagon: Is Subaru the New Volvo? - Los Angeles Magazine Subaru - The International Symbol for Slow Driving - 2-Speed Subaru the new Volvo - Windsurfing - Seabreeze Forums! And I read it in a local paper a while back...Subaru Forester is the new Volvo according some semi driver (but my sentiments as well)

You know you need to be wary when there's a lawn bowls hat on the rear parcel shelf:duck for cover:

Here's a silly sign.... [ATTACH]48629._xfImport[/ATTACH]

It's bloody sad we have to put up such crap. Despite years of fanatical speed enforcement, it hasn't achieved much at all except raise a few dollars. The things they can fine you for under "strict liability" is bloody ridiculous, and erodes any real safety concerns. Given that the only reason for laws and standards is safety, if a law fails to do that under all circumstances, then it is nothing more than an impingement on your liberty. Less focus on speed, and more focus on right of way rules and lane discipline. Face it, it you can stop the daft pricks running into stationary objects or each other, you have less deaths than is you just make them run into stuff slower, but more often.

Probably why the same drivers are so inattentive, those speeds on the highway would put anyone to sleep. As far as the numbers go...my drive to Narromine: about 750 km, if I do 85 and save money, I will spend almost 9 hours of my life fighting to stay awake, at 100, still around 7.5 hours and still fighting, if I bump that up to 140-150 ( a nice comfortable speed on the open road), I'm down to a little more than 5 hrs on the road cruising alone in the :"zone", and at worst, I will have spent $30 more in fuel and gained a few more hours of quality life. I consider that a fair exchange. NOTE: I'm not saying I do that, but I'd certainly like to be allowed to.

No, I think you will find that Subaru Forrester drivers are the new Volvo drivers (also Hyundai Excels)

Did you realise they give you the dirty look because you're the reason they're stuck at the same set of lights as you and not miles down the road? I have found a certain speed that will get me from one side of town to the other catching the green lights (and that means a lot of time saved). I won't say what it is, because it's somewhat more than they'd like. It has nothing to do with being an "extension" and everything to do with getting where you're going in a timely manner.

Yeah , I can really see the aborigines offering human rights lawyers so the English could sue them.

I'm sure a lot of city drivers do this, but, take into consideration that while the slow accelerating person up the front is saving their fuel, the other 10 people that would have been through the intersection, but couldn't have now got to waste fuel waiting because one person (or several) could be arxed to move in a timely fashion. Not saying be off like a rocket, just move off at a reasonable pace when the light goes green. If they have more than one or two brain cells, they can see the other lights turning amber and red, and be checking the other traffic has stopped even before the light changes. The old excuse of "I always wait a few seconds before moving to make sure the intersection is clear" is just rubbish. No the road is not a race track, but it is a transport system, and needs to be used with a degree of efficiency.

Yes, but instead of repeating the problems that poor border control caused in 1788, we should at least learn from it.

While I do not support their actions, it's hardly surprising.
