There are about 100 employees an my workplace and I would wager my stack that there is not more than 1 other stacker there. Most don't even realise that their super is invested in the share market, most think that the government is looking after it for them. I would make the same bet about my...

Illegal to drive barefoot!! That's un-Australian! I'm sure if that were true there would be RFT (random footware testing) stationed at all the beachside suburbs on a hot day.

I watched those vids, very interesting but I wonder if it has ever been tested in Australia. I don't hear of people getting off because their name was spelled in capitals too often. Having said that, if ever before a judge I have learned to respond that the name is not mine, it appears to be...

My boss reckons drink driving should be legal, and he's got a pretty good argument as to why - The reason it is illegal is that you increase the risk if hurting / killing someone, in other words you might hurt of kill someone, and you start getting fines for things that you might do we are...

This is going to be a busy thread.

I've been saving a lot more since I found SS. Spending a lot of fiat though :)

I agree with a passion. Sick to death of my employees lying to me & making promises they know they wont keep. Caught lying = loss of job and pension in my book.

Has anyone ever read the UN declaration of human rights? http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml I just started browsing it and found a lot of inconsistencies between the articles and our laws in Australia. For example, in SA they tried to bring in some anti bikie legislation whereby...

Yeah I've heard that sort of thing before. Once you register something you subject it to conditions that otherwise don't exist - without it is your personal possession and nobody can tell you what you can and can't do with it. Thanks for the link, interesting.

How is the Wikipedia link related? Is it a legal fact that driving is a privelage? edit: Motor Vehicles Act 195931.1.2013 Part 3Drivers' licences 4 This version is not published under the Legislation Revision and Publication Act 2002 [31.1.2013] 75Issue and renewal of licences (1) Subject...

I've never found common sense to be to common, x10 for people who get kicks from being in a position of authority.

Our last premier here in SA (Mike Rann) was always going on about hoon drivers. He used to get up on his soap box from time to time and go on about how using the roads is a privilege. Incorrect herr Rann, those roads were build with the peoples money for use by the people. He was the one who has...

Golden.

Let me get my thoughts straight here: Aside from my personal beliefs regarding gun ownership, - 2nd amendment is designed to give the people the ability to defend themselves from tyranny. AFAIK that is not in dispute. - Interfering with peoples right to bear arms could be seen as an act of...

I have an ASE on my desk at work, only comment it ever gets is 'cool coin, but it must be arkward for americans to carry around dollar coins that are so big'. I just say 'yeah, I guess so'

I don't think it would take much, just a gentle move out of bonds and into PM's. I'm sure people said that sort of thing when gold was much lower, but our way of life / standard of living / public safety has not changed all that much in the last 20 years - at least not so fast that we haven't...

It's a good point about USD. Still think they will link it to terrorists (without any evidence) and raise a public outcry for bitcoin to be banned. Come to think of it, this will push bitcoin underground & the price might go to the moon! Guess what I'm buying tonight :)
