Under the legislation, all tobacco products sold in Australia must be in in drab, olive-brown packets with large, graphic health warnings showing diseased body parts and sick babies from Dec 1 this year.
Having a hard time telling if this is a joke or not. But then, they do have that whole cup size censorship thing going on over there.

A 15 year old should have known better than to point a weapon at armed police, or even bring toy guns to the school. Pretty sure most schools have specific rules against that after the school shootings of previous years.

Culture changes with time. It's not as if it's being forced down anyone's throat or there isn't any alternative.

@Sarge I thought it was one of the best movies I'd seen in years, and I usually watch around 3-4 new movies a week. In the end though it comes down to personal taste. If it gets you you interested even a little bit, give it a try. You might like it more than you expect.

It had better to hire Japanese talents to advertise for its insurance business in Japan.
They're talking about the Aflac commercials that play mainly in the US. I'm not even sure Aflac offers services in Japan. All he really did is make annoying noises and say the company name though, not much to translate

Its the support of the drug dealers who are selling it that should worry people.
If it's legalized, doesn't it become almost like cigarettes? As in, you don't have to sneak around to dealers to buy it? I think that would pretty much put dealers out of business.

Posted in: Woman murdered after argument with man over feeding stray cats See in context
People who regularly feed stray animals are heartless fools with no friends. They need the "affection" of animals who come to them for food. And more often than not, as this woman found out too late, they have a violent streak and are infested with hatred of fellow humans.
That's some insight you have there....

They're probably gonna do this with every system I guess. I still want the original 60gb model that can play ps3 games and nearly all ps2 games. They're not being made anymore so they get rarer and more expensive all the time, but eventually I'll buy one off ebay or something.
