Australia is voting today!

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure @RawBill1 (8531) • Gold Coast, Australia 20 Aug 10

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...

How often do you talk on the phone while driving?

clorissa123 @clorissa123 (4926) • United States 15 Apr 09

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...

Dumb kids who get straight As

saffrondreams @saffrondreams (596) • Canada 16 Apr 09

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...

Gitmo prisoners may be released in USA and given welfare!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fortunata @Fortunata (1135) • United States 27 Mar 09

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...

More Proof that Global Climate Change is a Scam!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 27 Mar 09

No matter what the Useless UN, Al Gore, Bush or Obama say; The more we learn about Global Climate Change the more it is exposed as a lie and a scam. Ice stays ice until it is exposed to temperatures over 32 Degrees (F). That...

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 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...
