  • Hard News: Fact and fantasy, in reply to Yamis,

    Germany has the tax/rate money to afford massive recyling plants and education and collection programs, along with (probaby more importantly) the population density.

    We could have recyling plants and education and collection programs if we wanted them.
    The fact is that we don't want to put a price on our pollution. We are told it is too expensive to recycle properly, packaging taxes will increase inflation and making manufacturers take back their products when worn out will cost jobs.
    We just want our tax cuts so we can buy our flat screen TVs and throw our CRT screens on the verge for someone else to take care of.
    If it costs a few extra cents per dollar on our taxes and a few over-geared farmers to go broke to clean up our environment for our kids, then that's what it costs.

  • Hard News: Fact and fantasy, in reply to Russell Brown,

    that’s what this site is all about, isn’t it? Silencing people you don’t like. ;)

    Do tell.

    Wow! With just two words, you silenced him with a Greg Johnson ear worm. That will teach him for messing with the Russ.

  • Hard News: The Righteous Humour,

    I watched a couple of segments of Jon Stewart the other night but today the links to them from here are broken and it seems the Daily Show website is geo-blocked. For someone who is not tech savvy, how do you get round it?

  • OnPoint: #WTFMSD: "Damning",

    “In the meantime I can confirm that at this stage four employment investigations are being undertaken by an independent barrister."

    Are they going to fire the whole IT department?

    Imagine the havoc that Ira could have wrought in the MSD computers if he was so inclined. MSD should match and double what Keith has earned to reward him for his restraint. Scapegoating him is shameful.

  • OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers,

    Damn pesky bloggers doin' an honest journalist's work.
    John Armstrong must had choked on his fish and chips if he was watching the 3 News report that mentioned Keith had raised $4k for his efforts.

  • OnPoint: Re: Education,

    That graph makes more sense if you look at it as a cross between an ink blot test and a QR code.

  • Hard News: Friday Music: When there were…,

    I went to Nambassa the year before when Skyhooks headlined. I went along after seeing a poster at the Island of Real Cafe in Airedale St.
    The venue was perfect with the natural arena, surf beach and waterfall to wash off after. I also remember Living Force were there too, a Hare Krishna influenced band with an amazing lead guitarist. They put out an LP which I no longer have.
