  1. OCD and similar traits of forum members

    in The Club Room

    I have a rather extensive book collection at home (mainly non-fictional), both shelved and stored upstairs in the attic. I am so anal that I have genuinely catalogued and arranged all my books via the Dewey Decimal System of classification. I make the little labels myself and lose my fucking mind if somebody touches them and doesn't put it back IN THE RIGHT FUCKING PLACE.

     

    Thanks Sheepdog, this has been somewhat therapeutic. :up:

  6. Hostage situation in Sydney

    in The Club Room

    Posted

    This is what happens when you have a system where criminals and terrorists have no trouble acquiring guns, but the average law abiding citizen can't acquire, carry, and utilise a gun to defend themselves and their fellow Australians. This whole thing would be over if one of the hostages was carrying a gun. Instead the nation is at the mercy of radicals.

    stay woke.

  10. Your personal goals

    in The Club Room

    Posted

    I am setting myself to run a sub 3:40 marathon in October 2015.  Critical to this plan is losing 10kg.  I do that, I train well, I have some luck and some courage, I just might do it.

    Firstly mate, wishing you good luck with this! Great goal. A lot of people genuinely underestimate how hard both physically and especially mentally completing a marathon is. 

     

    Can I ask how many you've done so far? What were your previous times? How old are? 3:40 is a pretty decent time and would be a great achievement to meet.

     

    Good luck!

    I laughed in the face of the greens person that tried to hand me a card.

    In a similar vein, I loved seeing the cobber in front of me as I was walking through the 'How to vote' gauntlet on Sat and when the Lib tried to hand him a card he looks square at him and says "come on mate, do you know where you are?".  :tooth:  :tooth:  Gotta love the rusted ons. :up:

  22. VCE homework help and emotional support thread

    in The Club Room

    Only advice I can give to people is: Don't stress about VCE. 

    Sure some amount of stress is needed but don't go full retard.

     

    Plenty of people (myself included) have managed to do exactly what they wanted, in the same timeframe, with a lower ATAR (in my case this was 15 points lower). 

     

    Enjoy year 11 and 12 because when it ends you'll wish you appreciated it more!

    I agree. Conversely I did quite well in VCE and ended doing the course I was always going to due to be interested in it which the ENTER/ATAR was almost 15 points lower than I got. Long story short: study, do some planning but also have fun. I would love to be 18 again. Great year of my life.

  23. TTDIM: Things that don't irk me

    TTDIM: 28 Black Sugarfree. CEO energy drink. Only way to level up from this is to mix some cocaine in some soda water.

    Can confirm that Charles mixed into coca-cola (arguably the way it was intended to be consumed) gives a great buzz. Does effect the effervescence though but who cares.

     

    Oh and for those who are about to tell me that putting coke in Coke® is an indulgent waste of good blow... fuck you, I'm Scarface. :up:

    It is also not an offence to encourage others to vote informally or spoil their ballot.

     

    They are a very valid of democratic expression help to gauge the sentiment of the body politique inasmuch as they are considered protest votes or votes of disengagement/ambivalence toward the government, parties or system as a whole. Many a PhD and countless Political Science modelling is done around these ballots people think are 'wasted'. I personally believe they are anything but waste even if the people who are expressing themselves that way disagree.

     

     

    This is also something I thought was not  legal. I am sure I recall hearing about people getting in trouble for doing this in regards to the Tasmanian dam. 

     

    Tas state law may differ but I can assure you that spoiling or encouraging to spoil is not illegal or an offence at Federal level.

     

     

    The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, 06/31

     

    30. It is not an offence to vote informally in a federal 

    election, nor is it an offence to encourage other 
    voters to vote informally. However, anyone who 
    encourages electors to vote informally, or to vote 
    ‘1,2,3,3,3...’ etc on a House of Representatives 
    ballot paper, will be encouraging electors to waste 
    their votes as no vote will be counted from these 
    ballot papers.

    Ps I believe what Mr. Malloy is getting at with his "Voting is not compulsory...." statement is that you have to be on the AEC/VEC electoral role to be cited for a "state cause for absent ballot" offence. This is a loophole which is often cited but although never (to my knowledge) enforced one is still Technically required by law to register by the next election date once that citizen is of legal voting age (18) and not doing so is an offence under the Voting act.
