What are flight checks for?

Mandatory conscription deserves compensation, in a civilized nation. But the 2yr jail sentence penalty for not complying meant Australia wasn't civilized. Why didn't you knock back your entitlements as a protest against the draconian conscription law and your loss of freedom compared to citizens who weren't called up? We allowed the politicians to be the "fittest", and us conscripts just had to try and survive, many of us didn't. The servants of the people, the politicians, proved to be the "fittest". Nowadays, they're patting themselves on the back for encouraging thousands of Xbox game players to join the military. One can only hope they read all the fine print. In everything that we do in life, or what is thrust upon us, we should consider Darwin's Theory first and foremost.

It's in your subconscious, so you won't recognize it when it's in play. Laws relating to the treatment of veterans and conscripts reek with "survival of the fittest". Treatment is limited, and therefore only a limited number of ex service persons benefit from the limited treatments available, and they for service related injuries only. Ex service persons who suffer anything else other than what's on the list of treatments, are left behind and out in the cold, like Jews in the 30s-40s. It's all based on survival of the fittest. It's endemic in our society.

I believe it's alive and well, and it's primal, and we seem to have difficulty rising above it, let alone discussing how it affects us in our everyday living. If we understood it better, stress levels would plummet, in my view. If we delve into it, at the moment we are no better than the animal world. Survival of the fittest has many guises, and it's all those guises that we should look into, especially the ones that do us more harm than good. Majority Rule is one, another is the battle between the sexes. Both of these are very primal. We need to work on them to greatly reduce the "survival of the fittest" effect.

Trump has the right idea. Crack down on crime.

A Two-State solution is more important than precarious job positions in Australia. Think about how you vote in the future.

A strange thing happened at Hawker DeHavilland's before I was dragged away like I was a Jew going to an internment camp for slaughter. Everyone in the factory was working harder and faster. I asked an older bloke why that was. He said it's because of our commitment to the war in Vietnam. But the feeling I got from it, was not one of patriotism, but that their primary concern was hanging on to their jobs in the belief they too might end up directly involved in the war somehow if they didn't put in an extra effort at their machines.

Yeah we have flooding, bushfires, heatwaves, storms, cold snaps, lightning strikes, inland dust storms that reach the coast. Insurance premiums are unaffordable, rent is half your wage, cars are expensive to keep, food is expensive, mobile phone plan is expensive ... all added together, there's no money left, broke until next payday. Better off staying where you are and put up with the religion and corruption. We have Islamic muslims here now and the majority believe the Quran and Sharia come first. We also have Sikhs, and Hindus who dislike Muslims. Religion will ruin Australia eventually.

Stay where you are, it's too expensive here. Try China instead.

He's more interested in saving the United States from international socialism.

Well, you guys worship the major parties, the ALP and the Coalition, who in the 60s introduced compulsory military service. Two year jail sentence for failing to comply.

Young voters really need to learn about the consequences of voting, rather than just the "feel good" aspect of voting for a party they think will be on their side. If a muslim English Channel boat person rapes their girlfriend, and the party responsible was the party they voted for, they'll suffer extreme "voters remorse". So they should be made to study the policies of the various parties first before attending a polling booth. 16y/olds are too young to know how 40-60y/old candidates think deceptively.

Not really fair then, is it?

Democracy only serves the majority, everyone else misses out.

You can't make that comparison Nev, because Parliament is designed to treat each other like shyte.

In the 60's there was no checks at all for conscripts with mental health issues. My autism I was born with, a lifelong affliction, wasn't detected during the mandatory medical check, there was simply no check for it, so I suffered abuse from NCOs and Officers for the whole two years of conscription. They could tell something was wrong with me, but they still kept the abuse going. They were animals, with no respect for human life, much like the cops and politicians are today. Mental health is a non issue, except when they're trying to convince the public that an offender is not a terrorist, but has mental health issues instead.

Legal immigration would be good, but not illegal immigration.

Only if the ALP and the Coalition allow it, otherwise nothing will change or be improved, unless it's favorable to them.

The Army in the 60's was communist, everyone was equal, there was no private property, it was all owned by the State. Orders came down from the top, criticism wasn't tolerated, democracy was non-existent, everyone was dressed the same, and everyone was indoctrinated to think the same, punishment was dished out to anyone who deviated from the system.

The Labor party is the left leaning side, they are currently governing Australia, and with the Coalition in turmoil (due to my curse), Labor has free reign to carry on with it's "half-brain" leftwing politics.

The voters decided to elect the half-brain that appealed to them the most at the Fed election just gone. This is the base line of our politics, the best half-brain wins. Do ya'll get it now?

Why does the human brain have two hemispheres? And why are some humans dominated by only one hemisphere, and other humans dominated by the other hemisphere? Actually, it's a subconscious "choice", you can switch over if you train yourself to do it. Labor "chooses" to be dominated by their right side hemisphere. The conservative Coalition "chooses" to be dominated by their left side hemisphere. Both are conditioned "half-brains", opposing each other in Parliament.

Reminds me of the Liberal Coalition dumping 60's conscripts in the gutter once they'd finished with them.

Aren't you guys Middle Class? Trump is saving the middle class in the US.

Trump is making America healthy again.
