    Consider the VW Golf Trendline, despite the cost penalty.

    Grafitti tagger sentenced to EIGHT years in gaol

    Are you retarded? Since when is incarceration in this country "curtailing the right to political opposition for the sake of national progression"? Heavily implied in your post is the idea that imprisonment is wrong full stop. Obviously, however, prison sentences involve a 'lesser of two...

    Grafitti tagger sentenced to EIGHT years in gaol

    Yeah but context matters too. Despite tougher regulation surrounding alcohol and minors here in Oz than in Europe, we arguably have a more serious problem with teen alcohol abuse. That has more to do with social context than anything else - penalties, whether lesser or greater, seem to make...

    Grafitti tagger sentenced to EIGHT years in gaol

    Don't know this for certain, but I'm just saying: Making an example of this guy by giving him such a massive sentence may convince taggers to refrain from their antisocial behaviour, stopping them from committing the crime and going to prison in the first place. That would equal hundreds of...

    If Slavery was Legal...

    I was hanging out for the first libertarian to post here and what the subject matter would be... Suffice to say my expectations were right on the money.

    Drinking age to rise to 21 (due to road toll)

    Don't live because you might die.

    Should we harvest the limbs of paraplegics

    Couple of things make me skeptical of this idea: 1. Whether or not there is the required level of demand for the legs, and 2. Given that it should hopefully be capable in the next 10 to 20 years to grow a limb from someone's DNA, it seems pointless to establish a large-scale operation for...

    India uses children to build structures for upcoming Commonwealth Games

    Oh yeah, and I suppose you know. EDIT: Besides, that's a terrible attitude to have. 'Oh, never mind trying to improve their livelihoods, we'll just commit them to a shit life right now because no schools exist right now that they could be educated in'. It takes greater willpower than that to...

    India uses children to build structures for upcoming Commonwealth Games

    Con: Keeps them out of school. Con: keeps them from developing as normal, healthy children, instead forcing them to become underage 'wage slaves'. I don't know how the fuck anyone could think that child labour could be anything but a big, fat con.

    Blair "i'll do it again"

    Actually, it was, given the level of intel they had on Iraq's WMDs, or lack thereof.

    Imagine a helmet strapped on a human skull— forever

    Oh christ, not you again. I'm getting the feeling that this sort of thing must be necessary for your self-esteem or something, and I'm glad that the technique is clearly working out so well for you. Once again, and as befits your libertarian ilk, you fail to see in anything other than black...

    lol setting aside your lame 'eye for an eye' attitude for a moment, you actually gave me neutral rep. well done again.

    Imagine a helmet strapped on a human skull— forever

    I can sum up the term in one sentence. No. Don't forget, other people live in this world too. The implication was that you were somehow displeased with such a grossly excessive imposition of authority by the government because you would choose otherwise were it possible. Besides, don't...

    Imagine a helmet strapped on a human skull— forever

    When are dickheads like you going to realise that the government doesn't not have the right to tell you what to do? See what's wrong with that sentence? Yep, the tone. Just Another Arrogant Libertard is what you are. Yeah nice going, just totally ignore external social costs like healthcare...

    Political leaders; who will triumph and what do they stand for?

    Rudd's becoming more of a weasel as the years go by, but fuck Tony Abbott. And just for emphasis: fuck Tony Abbott fuck Tony Abbott fuck Tony Abbott fuck Tony Abbott

    Five teens die in worst smash ever seen

    Yeah but like Riet said, even some shitbox Daihatsu Charade could hit 140 if the driver was really pushing it - and a crash at that speed, in that car, would be even more serious. The problem is that while car performance has rapidly increased in the past 30-40 years, driver training has not...

    Google ceases censorship, threatens China pullout

    Actually there are a few bits and bobs in the common law. Someone with a bit more knowledge on this subject could probably back me up (or refute me if this is actually wrong) Uh, yeah......to stop people from inhibiting the ability of others to speak freely. Although anti-terror laws have...
