  • It's a short sighted argument to say baddies don't follow the rules so your only restricting honest people.

    In Australia assault rifles and automatics are just outright banned. You need a licence to own any type of gun, which takes 6 months waiting for background checks to be done. Guns must be kept in Safes etc.

    So whilst a baddie might want to get an assault rifle and go on a kill rampage he can't. There just aren't any around. You can't break in to a house and steal one.

    Can organised crime get them? Sure. But that's not what this is trying to stop. It's preventing the impulsive bat shit crazy person going on a rampage.

    It absolutely helps, as proven by Australias lack of mass shootings.

    People who want to go hunting still can.




  • All the renter’s calling for the heads of the upper middle class property owners.

    Stop coming after us. We already pay the most tax and get the least benefits from the tax.

    We don’t get all the offsets the millionaires get, and we don’t get the handouts the poor get.

    We just get gouged everywhere. We don’t know enough to invest in anything other than housing.

    Stop coming after us. We aren’t the problem.


  • I work a 9 day week. It’s shit. 4 day work week only works if you don’t have to do a 38hr week crammed into the remaining days.

    I have to do 9 hr days to get that day off. The Friday I have to work is only a 4 hr day.

    I often dream about just working all 7 days just so each day is shorter. If I did 4 hrs on Saturday and Sunday I could just do 7 hr days.

    I fucking hate 9 hr days. I’m completely over it by 6 hrs.

    I also consider just cutting back my hours to 24hrs, but then I think about my retirement. I don’t want to be super poor when I’m old so I need to work as much as possible for the next 10 years atleast before dialing back a bit until retirement.
