Simple answer ...... Ban cotton farming, nothing uses as much water and chemicals for so little return. We can have food from the system or a small export of cotton. Not both. A handful of cotton uses as much as the rest of the system. Yes hemp is a great crop and also can replace large amounts of concrete in construction.

Your on the money, most are edited by computer these days and rarely checked by a human before publishing. Even worse the programs are American, so are clueless to start with.

What was so offensive? It was a small scene and provides context. The character was historically killed for been gay. This is context. We have always had gay people.

If its green at ends it may be also green in the insulation. Best to replace whole wires as only reliable option.

Maj by law and convention is bound to accept the advice of the prime minister. She has almost no ability to test or refuse the advice. Its a flaw of the system not her. Even if she didn't want to , she must assent.

What other refugees from design were sold here and worthy if a mine shaft G test? 120 y Datsun 180B and its replacement 200B, added 20 more mistakes. The Stanza was Datsuns ironic poetry about death by car.

Yep, Self hate is very destructive when projecting it outwards.

No its definitely getting really weird in all the bad ways..... I can imagine Slim Pickens jumping a ride down on a Trump brand bomb any day now....

You could be onto something. Trump has lived in a sheltered workshop his whole life. Only natural he wants the country in his image. Pop and Ma trump should have used condoms

The old hotted up Imp made a good hill climb beast at times though. The rest are best G tested down mineshafts.

Still in a British cell for now. But the yanks are warming up a black site somewhere. Julian gets my vote as well.

Never ever give employers a chance to reduce wages. That is not the right idea.

Don't forget the amazing rippoff of changing Injectors, that can be a ripoff. You hear of $5000 on toyopets.

Re beef, We should remember that some of the biggest producers use feedlots to feed cattle. This is a huge polluter by growing crops to feed to cattle. About as energy intense and water intense as is possible. I love beef but I needs to be farmed correctly. And no that does not mean cutting forests down for grazing.

Hummelbird as art? You bet your your flying googles it is. Art is beauty in the beholders eye that makes them think. If it is useful all the better.

They have a long history of been trained for their role. NSW the convict state. Not a convict? Keep breathing, the government will fix that.

Given he was a moron, ahem Mormon. I doubt anything he says or thinks is right. The Mormons were a radical sect formed in Utah, well known for robbing and killing people moving west in the 1800's. Any non Mormon was considered evil and disposable.

It must have been Hamlet that stole them. He was trying to find Yorricks head.

Nev, Aircooled rules the roost for classic machines. But 75-80 HP per litre for bikes was the sweet spot. Both the Guzzi and Beemer fell in that range. Both made of high quality materials and not to a price. Guzzi switchgear excepted.

The herbal remedy was for relaxing after the ride in general. It certainly helped sooth raw nerves, thinking of how devasted my friend would be. It allowed a philosophical approach to the problem. My mate was just happy his stead had not killed me. He rode to his uncles farm and grabbed a ute, them back to Sydney. We rested and come night at 9 pm jumped in my Fairmont V8 for a quick run to catch the penguins before sunrise. And beat my slack mates who stopped overnight at a pub. I was particularly naughty, travel time 8 hrs 30 mins. Ah the good old days. Yeah the old R series BMW was a incredible touring machine and dirt road touring was magical. The greatest machine for the job ever created.

Bruce, How in hell would I be able to seek the prosecution of someone, when I am not a victim of him nor a officer of the law nor prosecutor? Once again you have used a strawman argument to cover for the views that you have displayed in this thread. You have gone from saying such crimes were perfectly acceptable in some societies to saying it is really the fault of society. Then blaming it on celibacy and many times blaming the victim. Now you imply because he hasn't got previous convictions he might be innocent as he has no "form". He has form and has been subject to other complaints and they could not be taken to full trial as the person was so damaged they would not be able to fully partake in a trial, and they would have been mincemeat in the attack by the defence. Another case they died, so no trial. Your implications would mean a murderer might be innocent even when convicted because he has not been found to have killed before! Now you make out it is up to me to get justice for other cases! How about you man up and accept your views on the subject.

He has been convicted, twice, that makes him guilty, period. Until a high court decides otherwise he is guilty. That is the legal standing. Please do not equate the wired in comment of a paedophile and that of homosexuals. That is, even if unintended, offensive to homosexuals. And should never, ever be in the same sentence. There is no correlation with a persons gender preference sexually and this abhorrent crime. Women can also be paedophiles. To be a paedophile is a choice that they act on, it is not inherent in their makeup biologically. Even if they may have a preference, it is something they are fully aware of as immoral and illegal. It is no more baked in at birth than raping an adult of any sex. We don't accept that rapists have no choice but to act on their impulses, because they are born that way. To rape is the ultimate of violence against a person whether a child or adult. It is a crime of at best sociopathy but often psychopathy, they just happen to choose the most vulnerable which are children. As far as sentencing goes, you fail to see the other important reason why we goal criminals and that is the requirement of deterrence for the rest of society. It ensures others know it will be punished if they do the same. That has always been a fundamental part of the criminal justice system. As far as ability to be rehabilitated, it is possible but only when it is for a person that truly accepts the ramifications of their actions and has genuine remorse. In cases like these that is generally when the age difference is not great- ie a older teen and a younger person who was consenting but because of the legal requirement to be 16 years and older, and therefore unable to legally consent. That used to be called statutory rape. That is not relevant in this case at all and in particular because Pell was in a position of power over the child. No amount of perceived consent is any possible mitigating factor in such cases of inherent power imbalance. Not that any consent was given anyway. I would be extremely surprised if the case is heard and even more so if he is successful on appeal. The jury found the victim a entirely credible witness. The appeal judges were not in the court so their ability to judge his credibility is very limited. The appeal of the jury's verdict is rare unless fundamental issues of fairness made the judgement unsound. This normally relates to mistakes by a judge not jury. No criticism of the judge was found warranted. I would think the personal views and bias rather than legal ones led to the other justice dissenting in his judgement. Credibility is a subjective issue. The other Justices had no such concerns and were unequivocal in their view the victim was credible and truthful. The other grounds for appeal were thrown out by all three. This is not a case that can win on a minor technicality. Until proven otherwise he is guilty under the law and deserves no compassion or leniency merely because his legal team will not accept the verdict. If Pell had been remorseful and plead guilty at the first opportunity, then he would have deserved a similar sentence. He did not and should be there for a very long time.

So a country with considerable experience in nuclear, builds a new plant that is already deemed will be the most expensive power in history and needs a government indemnity for any damage and locked in prices that are massively overpriced for decades. And needs the government to cover the finance costs if it fails. Estimated to cost power users over 80 billion pounds more than other power prices at today's costs. Prices that will only go down for renewables in the future, so that cost is very optimistic. Brilliant. Is this what you want Bruce? You can bet we would do a much worse deal than even that.

What does it take to convince you Bruce? Every study demonstrates solar is by far the cheapest power even with storage added when compared to any new coal or gas or nuclear. And will only get cheaper. That is why business with no subsidy is pouring billions into it. Follow the money if you refuse to accept science and economics. You know humans need oxygen to breath or do you dispute that as well?

Ah bloody Lego.... I discovered some in the bathroom as i stepped out of the shower but a large copy version with holes in the top of each round bits. My softened foot got eight deep holes when I stood on it. Oh the pain, oh the language. I bleed everywhere. That night I collected all said killer fake Lego and with a beer in hand burnt the evil stuff in a fire. Mecchano then became the choice and far safer.
