Today it is voting day in Australia as we vote for a new party to lead the country. It is a task that most Australians do not like doing. Everyone seems to complain about having to go down to their local hall or school to vote. I...

maffiks Yep- loving my right to vote here in Aus :) As you know, there are stipulations for people UNABLE to vote- so people aren't being fined unfairly, and it is compulsory to enroll, but its very difficult to follow up on people who don't enroll, especially if...

I did it sometimes, not that I want to chat on the phone while driving. Someone just called me while I was driving, so I pick it up and start talking on the phone. Some states warned the drivers to avoid to do so. Especially,...

maffiks Don't do it at all unless I'm using a handsfree kit. It's illegal here without a handsfree kit or similar, but even then its frowned on. A decent handsfree will normally only set you back about 20-40 bucks, but a real good one is normally about 150-200. I do...

Hey MyLotters, I'm sure most of you have encountered someone like that during your high school careers: someone who, despite having the IQ of a brick and lacking any kind of common sense whatsoever, manages to pull off high...

maffiks Yeah I've known a few people like that. I got paid to complete essays and papers for a few people too... bad me. Entrepreneurial activity in my high school was not exactly encouraged. I have seen though that there are people who have incredibly high IQ's...

maffiks not only do you not bother to try and understand the basic science at hand, you try to make it sound as if someone who wants to gain and share knowledge is in the wrong. the absolute pinnacle of the fascist education model. By your logic (if your using any)...

Gitmo prisoners may be released in this country, and given welfare? What next? When I first saw these two articles, I thought it was satire. This kind of 'hope' and 'change' stinks, in my opinion. Maybe they'll be given...

maffiks But how can it be right, to take people out of their home countries, lock them up for years without trial and then say, "Oops, sorry. We can't PROVE you did anything wrong. Have a nice day." For the record, I don't support the Gitmo detainees being housed in...

maffiks YES these people are making money at the moment, but they'd be making the same money at a later date ANYWAY, that was my point. And I've been siting in eco-science lectures for about three years now. Socio-political and Diplomacy lectures for 2.

maffiks dude, it's worked on an average. So people who don't understand the science behind basic weather patterns have a chance at grasping the concept. its like saying i earn a salary of 70 000 a year. so i earn $7.99 an hour. (just so you know, thats 70 000...

maffiks And how could Climate Change be a scam? Exactly who would profit who wouldn't profit in the long run anyway? Green groups generally rely on donations for their advertising, but most are either non-profit or on the verge of bankruptcy anyway, and if everyone...

maffiks Fantastic point. It was actually earlier that the Jurassic period I think (could be wrong) that the globe didn't have ice-caps. I'm not sure I'd call it rare though, I think its just the very first time the world has moved into this cycle. All the chemicals...

maffiks I didn't say ice was melting at sub zero temperatures. it is CYCLICAL. it got cold... it will get warmer... it will get cold again. etc etc. just like when in WINTER water freezes and in SUMMER it doesn't. (Depending on where you are in the world)

maffiks Climate change doesn't happen overnight, it won't suddenly be warm enough to melt ALL the ice at once, the concern is that the Arctic ice cap is shrinking at an advanced rate. Which works out to be about a centimeter a day. Tiny change short term. Big change...
