Re: Mum brings home the bread

I would think it is at least partly an inevitable outcome of the moral drift in regard to marriage. Many more men these days just up and leave the wife and kiddies for pastures greener (read "younger") and the "woman-headed household" is the remainder. More divorces = more single parent "families" s...

Re: Aus has a new national sport!!!

Well that's the high school event - an amateur status. How soon can we get professionals involved and get it to the Olympics? Will there be any distance or accuracy advantage to countries that use unleavened flat bread? We need rules!

Re: The beautiful game

In South Africa there's one football commentator (i.e. real football = foot plus ball) who insists that all free-kicks and corners are "set plays". Of course I suppose a corner kick probably should be.... although judging by some players it seems they practise booting the ball across the field and o...

Re: 'We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting

I can't t argue with that; if speech can outlawed because it ticks some people off, then there is no real freedom of speech. You mean like removing a woman who heckles the Presidant during his speech? ;) Nonsense. The woman is free to speak - but she's not free to disrupt other people's speech. The...
