    Socceroos off to Germany

    quietfanatic, you neglected to mention international rules in your list of sports. Fantastic game - like AFL but with more tackles. Kharn - good rowers from Holland. What are the odds Australia gets slaughtered 1st round?

    Australian Industrial Relations Reform

    Now that Barnaby Joyce has folded over the legislation will sail through without a single significant change... Am I the only person who thinks that the idea that an MP should be loyal first to his party, and then the people who elected him is a moronic notion?

    Top 10 Bands/Musicians

    You're kidding, right? Mark Knopfler is a magnificent musician. What is there not to like about Dire Straits or his solo stuff. On the topic of great guitarists; Chet Atkins, anyone? Not to mention Tommy Emmanuel, probably the greatest guitarist of his style alive today. Also: Allman...

    Oh, the irony

    @ Sander Explain how a painting is a story, rather than, in some cases (which I presume you are refering to) a visual representation of one or more aspects of a story. And? (Remember - the score is not the song. The performance of the score is the song.) Read below what I've said...

    Oh, the irony

    The obvious answer is NO. It was meant as a rhetorical device. Duhh. A recording is to a performance as a print on a piece of glossy paper is to the Mona Lisa, unless it was you that played/wrote the song. Just because you have a poster of the Mona Lisa doesn't mean you own the Mona Lisa...

    10 best sci-fi/horror movies

    I wonder if it's possible to work out what the hell the prologue on 2001 is about without reading the book... I'd never have picked that apes waving bones at a black monolith was about the birth of human sentinence... Pretty though.

    Oh, the irony

    Yeah, yeah, according to the law it doesn't neccessarily belong to the creator but FUCK THAT. It's bullshit. A painting is a material, physical thing. An object that you hold in your hand. Is a song a physical thing? Can you hold it? A copywrite is a piece of paper. You can hold it in your hand...

    Oh, the irony

    Music belongs to those who write it and perform it. Not some money-grabbing fucktard wearing a suit in an office. If you use devices used in another song, that's cool. Does whoever owns the rights to Shakepear's plays (if someone does) sue others for using iambic pentameter? (I know he didn't...

    Post your nation-specific jokes HERE

    6, but it reminds me. A man sees a grinning aborigine dragging a sheet of corrugated iron and kettle behind him. He asks aborigine why he's dragging those things around. He replies that he had just divorced his wife and they were what he'd got out the case. The first man says "What? Just a...

    British joke: "America's New Laws"

    It is a noble cause, correcting the bastardisation of the english language by the Americans. But first the English must contain and eliminate the linguistic horrors that are emerging in their lower/middle classes. What they speak is an abomination to the ears. One addition to no.2 is the...

    What circle of hell are you from?

    City of Dis for me when I die. If I die. But if I say I do believe in God, I go to the 8th level. How does that work?

    Crazy Girl Breakup Letter

    If you actually knew this woman, would you be unable to resist the urge plant a spade in the side of her head? Or is it just me? It's frightening that people like this actually exist. It's even more frightening that there are enough for me to know a few.
