Because I don’t understand people’s obsession with sharing their usually boring lives and opinions.

Why, in 2015, is the catholic church still not taking action against priests/bishops in positions of power who abuse children? A lot of it is getting swept under the rug. Is it to save face in light of declining religious beliefs amongst the public?

Capitalism is driven by infinite growth, but the planet cannot sustain this. We are at breaking point now. But it seems to question capitalism is akin to treason.

To me that is the fundamental question which humanity has too ask itself, and, depending on the answer, ask many more about our role in the world and our responsibilities, to the rest of humanity and the all that makes up the world as we know it.

Is there an objective sense of what is moral? Or, does morality only exist in action between people. If you steal a movie online is this OK because no one saw you do it? If people are abused in detention centres is this OK because no one was watching?

The question that has been lingering over our heads for centuries. The age old question of whether tomato sauce belongs in the fridge, or in the pantry.

I am sick and tired of feminism being a dirty word! I want to believe that the only reason anyone would choose to deny that they were a feminist would be due to a misunderstanding about what the world means. Perhaps there are other reasons why people are reluctant to take this label for themselves…

I’m a journalism student, and I’m sick of being asked to respond to the notion of a ‘brand’. I even had Fairfax present a curriculum as part of my course which spent a week on “brand building”. I find this insufferable, and I’d like to see how other current practitioners and other students feel about this notion. Obviously, change is inevitable, but to what extent are journalists performers, too?

I have used marijuana for over 45 years. I use it responsibly and I have never had a bad experience with it. Why should I have to break the Law to have a quiet smoke in my own home on my own land? Why as a responsible adult can I not choose what is best for my life?

It is such a hard and risky job. Only love can’t justify accepting going through this hardship.

It would greatly change the world dynamics. When the UN SC was created, international politics were in a very different stage. Brazil & India are now larger powers for example, with a large population and stake in the current international stage.

We seem to spend a lot of time telling people they’re wrong (and even stupid) – in politics, in the media, on social forums. Nobody ever seems to change their mind. It all seems a bit boring and pointless. Can we change the way we communicate and actually have an effect?
