Endometriosis and related conditions are VERY expensive to treat and go hand in hand with not being able to work so women and girls cannot move out, gain employment and are stuck in a hideously painful rut. The medical profession can be woefully uneducated about women’s health and more drugs need to be on the PBS. I pay about $200 a month for mine!

George seems a little paranoid about being left behind.

Most thinking persons will say that humanity is in crisis. We have a modern obsession with looking to the future for answers to solve this crisis. If we accept the view that we are not very evolved from the ape man then I think its fair to argue that what is inhibiting our ability to problem solve our state of crisis is simply data overload. I think the answers lay behind us in the rich history of the last five thousand years. This we can mine for answers but the future is never accessible to us.

Because not only does all the noise drive me mad (I am currently living across the road from a new building site) but constant, irritating noise can affect peoples health. e.g. leaf blowers make we want to commit murder and that would be very unhealthy for at least two of us!

I can kind of understand eating flesh – we don’t even see our own flesh in that way, at least not if all goes well. But skin? We’re covered in it. Gross. Crackly, chewy, stretchy, crispy burnt skin. ‘You gonna eat that?’ Yeuch.

I currently have a family member who is dying from cancer… and I recently had a friend who died prematurely. Our rituals are so brief. Other cultures morn for days, weeks and sometimes months in ritualistic ways. Is it the threat to economic functioning or is it truly better to just get on with it?

If someone steals something they are arrested but if someone sends in troupes under dubious pretence killing thousands of civilians, ruining the lives of their own combatants why is it that they just float off to a life of ease? Shouldn’t high office hold high accountability. There must be factors that give them immunity. What are they?

In Australia we’ve got the dominant view that hung parliaments and large cross benches are ‘unworkable’ and ‘feral’. Why? In Europe hung parliaments are normal, and there are often many parties represented in the parliament.

Would we benefit from more diverse parties and viewpoints in parliament?

Do people not know how to carry a conversation between two people any more?

I am fascinated by individuals’ inability/unwillingness to take full responsibility for their choices, especially when it comes to looking after themselves.

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

I am quite interested in the metaphysics of physics and in particular time.

Similar wars, Dictatorships Governments and issues is happening rapidly in history. Why the people want to make these disasters never read the history. If they learn from history similar disasters in human life will never happen. For example after Adolf Hitler in Germany ( Dictator that Suicide at last) many other dictators came ( Like Saddam Hussein in Iraq and…) and they got the same results. If we read the nations history it is full of similar issues was made by mankind. In fact mankind is repeating his/her mistakes rapidly without taking care to the result of same mistakes was made by others before.
