'You're not my king': [Senator] Lidia Thorpe escorted away after outburst [at Charles III in Parliament House]
  • Sometimes following a principal appears useless. Sometimes symbolism can lead to powerful change.

    Ghandi's march to the sea to 'make salt', which was an illegal act under British rule, indirectly led to Indian independence. Long bow, I grant you, but the golden thread is there.

  • How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/
  • Actually, nobody goes to heaven when they die (according to the bible). Everyone must wait until judgement day when all the graves, etc, open and we all face judgement at that point. This surprised me when I first learned it because it goes against all the Christian culture I've ever been taught and experienced.

    So grandma isn't currently in heaven no matter how good she was.

  • Man arrested near Trump rally in Coachella with loaded firearm, high-capacity magazine: Officials
  • Handguns did the job on Ronald Reagan and almost for Gerald Ford.

    Leaving Abe Lincoln to one side, but if you are lucky and your security detail is a bit lax, a handgun can get the job done. I'm Australian, so we don't see much of that sort of thing.

  • Monster pickup trucks accelerate into Europe as sales rise despite safety fears
  • This will not go well.

    Europe is not designed for oversized cars. As soon as you are off the "A" roads, it is goat tracks in every direction. And, you can forget about parking. Regular cars have enormous trouble already. Every new car gets panel damage within a couple of weeks. Put those monster US vehicles in the villages it will be carnage.

  • The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling'
  • I disagree. Voting with your wallet is the only metric they understand. They just ascribe different analysis as to why it failed to their boardrooms. In the end, you put 70 million into the development and marketing of a game that doesn't sell, that is going to get attention. Complaining on Reddit won't.
