A licenced electrician makes much more than the average white collar worker. If you run your own business as an electrician, you should be able to make as much as the average executive.

I'm a tradie. Sort of. More trade experience than anyone else on bos anyway. Inexplicably, I am dismally unsuccessful in love.

Man, people think all these things about insurance, but you can get away with more than you'd expect. My grandad with hectic alzheimers, who lost his licence on a doctors recommendation ten years ago, was completely covered by insurance when he decided to put the car through the front room of...

Okay, so what do you suggest is the cause of higher rates of violent crime in the third world, if not inequality and poverty? You didn't read very far, examples from that page, it's all referenced if you care: "Sociological positivism postulates that societal factors such as poverty...

lol at the stigmatization of schizophrenics as uncontrollably violent criminals. Criminology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia eh, there's different theories, the role of poverty is debated. Inequality and poverty are held by many to play a significant role. Others disagree. It's difficult...

I was implicitly referring to violent crime, and that alone. I would never say economic development is the solution to STD transmission.

Condoms are the solution obviously. That and economic solutions, final solutions to the African question.

I only said it had contributed to deaths from aids, and I think it's ridiculous to suggest the catholic church has absolutely no impact on people's attitudes to condom use in Africa.

I don't think anyone said that. Certainly not in terms of examples of christians having individual failings, and failing to live up to the values their institution preaches, discredits christianity as a whole. I say attacking christianity is justified because mainstream, widespread, core...

Yeah

I got plenty of sleep on the drive home.

I didn't sleep at all. Left home 5am, finished work 8pm, got home 9.30pm. Tricky.

The restrictions on personal freedom that catholics advocate are reprehensible. Catholicism has a major responsibility in restrictions on fundamental freedoms such as euthanasia and abortion. In a broader moral context, if you take a look at our society from the perspective of a moral...

lol I should really crash, work in 2 hours.

Did you end up going out?

There is no reliable, testable evidence for any miracle having ever occurred, that a scientific authority would accept. This is because they did not happen, or have natural origins. I am agnostic. I make no claim either way. Pascals wager has no intellectual rigour.
