The quota ideas - which could result in women getting jobs even if there are 20 blokes far better qualified are bizarre.
And shock of shocks, there are still a host of girls out there whose ambition in life is to be a yummy mummy and grab a husband in a high paying job and never work again.
Airports
Nothing I think brings out the stupid in society more than airports
Currently in an an international departure terminal and some dumb **** is trying to negotiate a purchase not in the local currency but in US $$
Now the staff are happy to take his US$$ but the dumb **** wants to argue with them on the FX exchange rate and what they offering ain't fair etc
15 mins of arguing with them later he just takes their offer and gets his food

The council did have one because he was moved into it and he was good. Not there now.
We have govt work places bringing in several minority positions regardless of academic attainment or job experience. Bad enough when the boss gets the nephew/niece in but this isnt equity.
I paid a bill the other day for some renovations and the receptionist that greeted me was a super-hot female with a magnificent rack. I'd hate to have affirmative action take this away from me and others by employing more male receptionists.Quote:

The rack weighs more than your self-imposed cutoff point. Move alongQuote:

Another thing I can't stand at the moment is taking retrospective judgement on past behaviour. Don Burke is the latest example - some of that behaviour is a bit ordinary but much of it was typical of men in power 30 years ago. It was what it was - if it was actually illegal under laws at the time (such as sexual assault) then that is a different matter. Why does this come out after all this time and get judged against current standards. I know there are things I have done long ago that would be frowned upon now. Things like grabbing an arse or commenting on cleavage in the workplace or putting up a norks calendar.
Same with TV - "Love Thy Neighbour", "Till Death Us Do Part", "Black and White Minstrel Show" and even "Roots" cannot be repeated on modern TV because of their "racist" overtones. But historically that is what it was like then! Ray Martin tried to stop the last run of "Love Thy Neighbour" on Seven because it was "disrespectful to the Aboriginal community" - ffs.
Yet extreme violence, sex and swearing are all fine on TV now.

Any budget constraints they have are self imposed / political - not economic or financial.
Newcastle Transport's new bus system coming next year
The irony of health and adding the female dominant work place gives it more appeal to today's outraged. Yes it is really about shift workers for all ages etc.Quote:

The annual HSC media wank - most kids don't need or care for an ATAR or who got the highest. They just want that HSC and be done with it to get on with their lives and walk away from over zealous expectations about something that doesn't define your life.
Interviews with 18 yo prats dressed in suits trying to talk like 55 yo executives is just poo.
WGMG - Scott Morrison today bragging about how increasing non-government / mostly household debt is a good result for Australian families. The blokes a dead set goose of the highest order.
Cvnt should start with spending some $$$ in the Hunter - jobs, real transport infrastructure, redevelopment of the port for more commercial use, health, housing and getting punk ass youth of streets and into jobs. lessgo 4 eyesQuote:

WGMG - People that have never played tennis for a living getting stuck into Tomic and Kyrios. It's absolutely disgraceful the hate towards Tomic at the moment in the media.
This only days after a massive outcry about a teenager suicides after constant bullying on social media.
Current Affair and all the other usual suspects. So tired of these pathetic little media khunts ripping into people one day and then the next mourning a person who they probably laid the boot into for a story previously.
Tennis is tough - the ruling body is and has always been completely useless. Tomic tells it like it is and people go after him like the ****ing sheep they are.
If people here think Football is bad when it comes to development squads and robbing parents blind - it's nothing compared to Tennis.
But the whole bullying thing is a bit of a joke anywayQuote:

Nowadays any princess out there who don't like what someone does or says about them and doesn't deal with it and we have campaigns and minutes silence for them
Any wonder the people in this country are now soft when we bend over backwards to accommodate every insecurity someone has
As for the tennis quite frankly I couldn't give a **** about Kyrigios or Tomic
Cunce in this country love having pops at them just like they use to do with Mundine
Always amused me at how some dumb ****s would get so wound up by Mundine they want to go pay to watch him lose and forget to see that Mundine was just a great self promotion
Didn't give a **** if you paid to see him lose. As long as you paid he got rich and he was happy having you hate on him
errrr except when kids kill themselves.Quote:

Will never ever have to play tennis to know this. next.
If a child goes through life thinking they are an inept retard because someone said or done something to them that they didn't like doesn't it actually say more about their already lacking valuing of their self worth and their own pre existing insecurities??Quote:

It actually just reinforces that it ok to take the weak option and kill yourself.We as a society are going about this the wrong way.
Being weak should never be encouraged
its the repetitive nature that destroys the soul first then, as you allude to, not knowing enough about how turn it around.Quote:
