Barbaric

How disgusting is the annual seal hunt in Canada?  Totally pointless, as well, killing animals for no purpose other than human vanity.

I’m a victim of crime

Yep, this weekend.
Some prick stole my letterbox last night.  God knows why?  Whoever it was actually went to the trouble of sawing through the metal pole that held it up, its sawed off at ground level.  And its a bit of a crime wave …. others in our street were stolen or at least vandalised, […]

Punishment to fit crime

Good work, Port Stephens council!  I love their style in this case.
Some people cut down some trees on a nature reserve.  Funnily enough these trees seemed to be getting in the way of some residents’ water views.  But this council decided not to take this lying down.  What did they do?

Is your heart bleeding?

Apparently the former ministers from the Howard government, who are now in opposition, are crying poor.    Some are doing it tough without their ministerial salaries, as the difference between being a minister and a mere opposition backbencher is about $100k a year.
It is understood that two informal approaches have been made in a bid to […]

Blogging yourself nuts!

 Internet addiction is a “common” mental disorder that should be recognised by health officials.  The American Journal of Psychiatry published an editorial claiming that internet addiction met the criterion for a mental disorder and called on the American Psychiatric Association to officially list it as such.

Happy families?

Isn’t this just a picture of happiness?
  When I saw New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer’s apology the other day with his wife standing next to him I thought there is one deeply pissed off looking woman.  Quite reasonable that she be too, after all her husband was apologising for being caught paying for sex with […]

A nurse, working alone on the Torres Strait island of Mabuiag, was raped late one night in February.   She rang emergency, got diverted to Cairns police, 1000 km away, and told them she had just been raped and that the alleged perpetrator […]
