except the basis for that distinction is racism; I don't think you can untangle the the current politics of Malayasia without acknowledging that.

There was one TA modder whose name I can't remember (cool story tj) but he churned out some fantastic stuff. The best was the modern Russian aircraft pack...the fighters were 4-5 times the size of normal ones and armed w/ the same cannons as a Flash and those heavy, vertical SSMs turned into AAMs. O...

gotta say I'm looking forward to tonight

Ford did you ever get on the PJ insult generator

[url=http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=159661] The first thing that pops into my minds is "Space Dark Ages!" You used to have a Space Rome set-up, but then somebody invented a better hyperdrive that completely changed the dynamics to favor nomadic extractive "space...

It's interesting the way wearing poppies is a huge deal in Canada and the UK but not to anywhere near the same extent in Australia thanks to Anzac Day...interesting as well the way in which Fisk's Dad drifted into antiwar sentiment in later life, when many go the opposite way. One of my old professo...

Also if you have a minute would you mind reading this article that supports my worldview and running it through the objectivity filter, just to be sure? I think it's mostly fair. His Indonesian trip was just further confirmation of the way in which the boat people issue has been so grossly distorte...

can I suggest the fact he/she mentions 'the shetlands' rather gives the game away on the persons alleged lack of geographic knowledge

people talk about the Australian dream being dead

I think Tony Abbott and Mount Athon have resurrected that dream

whoa I also won $14 on the same horse in the sweep at my old man's work

might take up this gambling thing full time

won $7 in the uni sweep

get around me

I remember a mate of mine shaved his armpits in an effort to get rid of BO

not sure if it worked though

celebrating the death of a criminal kinda sounds like the opposite of australian if you ask me much to my chagrin, GUD's tribute to Ivan Milat is not on the internet so off memory Let's give Ivan Milat A pat on the back And send him a big cheerio (cheerio) He only killed Poms and Huns He was Austra...

yeah I was going to say I totally dig the way 'bitch' is used as a derogative term for women and in particular by men in positions of power towards men who are seen to be defying them but at the same time I most closely associate the words with a certain set of behaviours and in fact now that I thin...

My sister's boyfriend is pathetic. She walks over to his house and then asks me to come pick her up after because he can't drive a car. They're 21. What the fuck she sees in him I haven't the slightest fucking clue. He doesn't even have a job! He isn't going to school! it's almost like being attrac...

It was directed at what jester was saying, too. That the Left's fragmentation has slowed down progress. But if we define progress entirely as stuff that the pre-fragmentation Left worked for, then yes that isn't surprising. I just think the definition of what the Left should be working for needs to...

Am I the only one who gets the feeling that the problems of the poor are a poor (heh) cousin to the subset of problems blacks/gays/trans/what-have-you have that middle class/affluent people can easily empathize with in provoking internet anger? It goes well beyond internet anger. The Left has fragm...

man I find that even a few years later certain smells - especially of cleaning products - brings back really vivid memories of hospitality

not even anything specific just that intense feeling of unease - like you're always one step away from pissing off a customer or your boss

given how often police say how bikies aren't even really bikies anymore as a way of emphasising that they are just organised criminal gangs this law seems fairly pointless

And nowdays Australian Universities are being paid for by full-fee upfront students from all across Asia. I drunkenly apologised to one of them for this as he drove me home in his cab a few months ago. He said it was no biggie. :brah: at that point where you then all 'do you follow cricket' cause t...

when was the last time Clancy put out a decent novel? The Cardinal of the Kremlin , maybe? Cardinal of the Kremlin is actually a ripper - best balance I think between Clancy's own technothriller methodology and that of the traditional Cold War spy novel. Today marks the end of the first quarter of ...

That's a pretty brutal decline. I wonder if it'll revive with the release of the new movie.
