I was just reading a report that said that cars that 'drive themselves' may well be available and even be commonplace within the next 20 years. US researchers have said that vehicles equipped with GPS positioning and artifical...

wotcha01 My vote goes with technology. These things would be road tested to exhaustion, and, without doubt, would have "back-up" systems before they would get the necessary approvals. Remember, too, when enjoying a long-haul flight in the jumbo jets, a lot of the...

wotcha01 I don't know where you hail from, haiders, but if our Australian government would forego the hypocrisy, and ban tobacco products, they would have to give up $A 7 billion in taxes and excise. This would result in the level of taxation rising significantly, and...

I am just curious of your opinions. There is a guy that I went to school with that was convicted of molesting his step daughter. He has been in prison for around 7 years. I seen in our local newspaper that he had got married...

wotcha01 I don't know that the prison authorities could prevent him marrying, wvchell78, but I would like to think that your local child protection agencies would be very much interested in the children's welfare upon his release.

wotcha01 I believe that it is very well established that paederasts are known recidivists, and will all to often re-offend upon release. I don't know whether chemical castration would be effective, but I'd be only too willing to make it compulsory for starters.

The word I most detest, and it's used all too frequently, is the word "paedophile", or it's misspelt equivalent, "pedophile". By derivation, paedophile means "a person who has a love of, or a fascination, with children". (From...

wotcha01 To be brutally frank, Angel, I'd have no brook with an American dictionary, but the term paedophile was never in our language until recently. It was only a term used by psychologists to explain the condition these lowlifes suffered, as their raison d'etre. It...

wotcha01 I admit to being a purist as regards the English language, but the only times I correct someone on their spelling is when I feel they're succumbing to the Americanisation of our language; it's becoming all too common, especially in the media who one would...

I cannot believe the website that I just found. It is legitimately written by a nurse who is helping women learn to pee from a standing position! There are instructions on how to pee without the aid of any device and then link to...

People are always highly thought about when they are dead, you know, the impressive eulogies of the person when he was alive etc.. However when he was alive no one liked him! So do you often wonder what people will be saying...

wotcha01 I reckon I'll be attending my own funeral, but won't be quite aware, lol! However, the thought of being at my own wake has some appeal. It'd be grand to hear what people come up with in the eulogies, and how genuine they might be. As I'm to be cremated, I'll...

wotcha01 Yet in some countries, I think Sweden leads the way, they're trying to make men urinate in the sitting position. Well, at least we might get equality of the sexes one way or another! lol.

So much crime, particularly muggings, home invasions, and theft are related to drug addiction (or drug addiction is used pathetically as an excuse for the crime), that I am getting to the stage where I think, "Well, let them have...
