Who gets to be an expat, and what makes them different from an immigrant? Why do we label new arrivals as immigrants with an implied scorn, while choose to label white, wealthy immigrants as expats?

If there are thousands of birds always flying about and trying to eat your chips, then how come we never see thousands of dead birds? They don’t have terribly long lives and, in the inner city at least, there aren’t many predators, so where do they all go?

I asked this question because nothing seems to actually change or progress. For example, why are we asking how to legalise same-sex marriage? Shouldn’t we be asking how do we redefine marriage? Or how can a legal framework be less discriminatory? I am asking because I care, and you should too. We can make a difference, we just have to stop doing things in the way they have always been done!

Where are the Christian politicians who care for humanity rather than their own personal ambitions and pension?

This is important for the elimination of racism, violent behaviours, rates of imprisonment, and increased government transparency and ownership.

How is it that humans can experience such strong, conflicting, emotions at once? Does everyone experience this? Is it possible to pay attention to just one?

I guess we once thought of the internet as having some sort of liberating potential, but today it’s pretty clear that, although we can’t live without it, it’s a pretty horrible place (especially if you’re not a straight white guy). When was the last time you saw a woman being harassed by an egg-man on Twitter, and how can we make sure it stops happening?

Find out if the food admin & the drug admin have correlated their ‘facts’ on PG. What ‘safe’ means, when talking about this petroleum-based substance: PG is a preservative in nearly all over food, drinks, self-care products, medicines…

I wonder how much the western world’s pursuit for economic growth, personal wealth and status ultimately has an impact on our levels of happiness, mental illness and capacity to generally have little empathy for others, even just on a day-to-day level between mates. Or is this just human nature? Are we fundamentally greedy bastards?

I have always been called an expat, not an immigrant. But shouldn’t that be the same thing?

The NDIS is one enormous quango (QUasi-Autonomous National Government Organisation). My gut feeling is that three or four fold the amount of money given to people with a disability through their NDIS funding package has gone on the salaries and infrastructure of those setting up the system and those administering it. In my opinion, just one of the many downfalls of the system introduced.
