sheepdog Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I completely understand the 'legacy' point of view, and even as a "when I'm old I'll have my family around me" and will comfort me in the nursing home etc. But that doesn't seem to go through the heads of most people my age having kids atm who appear to be doing it cause it seems to be 'fashionable', the expected thing to do (The kinda marriage, house, with a white picket fence and kids style), Or friend/family member X has had one so should I. Well then you should probably follow the advice my grandpa gave me: You better wear a latex, cause you don't want that late text, that "I think I'm late text". I ignored that text. 9 months later I answered a call and BANG! instant daddy sheepdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedaik Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) After hiding our pregnancy for 3 months and having friends who are having troubles, Ive come to the realisation its poor form to hound people about having kids. Oh, and I also think Family Guy is the best cartoon ever made. Edited September 11, 2014 by hedaik 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Aliens exist. I don't think anyone can really vehemently deny the existence of alien life. It really just depends on your definition of an Alien. Is there some form of life, no matter how basic, somewhere else is in the entire universe? Probably. Is there life out there with intelligence on par or greater than that of human beings? Perhaps. Are there Green men in flying saucers abducting people for experimentation? I highly doubt it.

Tesla Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) What I've always found funny is that popular culture always makes aliens out to be a civilisation with far greater weaponry / military technology than us. Do people really think it's possible that there is another civilisation which devotes more of their resources to killing each other than we do, and this civilisation still exists? Actually probably says a lot about us that when we try imagine a more advanced civilisation, we imagine one with greater weaponry and military technology. The way I see it, if there are some other intelligent life forms out there, we shouldn't be worried about them. But they should probably be fucking scared of us.

This coming from an eastern suburbian as well I think the bad things are overstated, probably because it is such a large suburb (for the unaware of how big it is, it has 3 train stations on the same line, and I'm not talking about train stations practically on top of each other like you have in the inner east and footscray, I mean properly spaced out train stations).

I've been aware the economy is shit for a little while now, so the AUD wasn't going to last and a bit of bad news from China mixed with a stronger USD has sent it falling, but with the property market now looking like it's slowing down, we're in trouble, as real estate, construction, etc has been carrying the economy recently.

We are on the verge of a construction boom here in Vic if the government can somehow stay in, that should surely stave off any recessions in this part of the country at least?A surplus has been forecast for the coming year by the Vic government, so the government is actually having a net effect of slowing the economy. A surplus isn't necessary in times like this, while I dont advocate going crazy with the deficits, the economy needs a bit of a boost. However, that forecast will probably end up being wrong because if the economy slows, a lot of revenue goes out the window, and then the budget is in deficit and so the government is providing some stimulus.EWL isn't full funded by the vic government, so factoring that in, there is certainly more of a boost.We definitely can't afford to let Labor in and possibly slow down or cancel the projects the current government has in place.Honestly, time to just fast track everything. I don't mind deficits for infrastructure, especially in a time of need. Improve the short term economic situation by pumping some money into the economy and boosting the demand side of things, while having the infrastructure built that will eventually boost the supply side and improve our economy in the long term.
