When will the psychiatric regime end?
    5+

    When humanity becomes humane, starts listening to people, rather than propaganda, regimes that torture and control will be exposed and stopped. The psychiatric regime has been going on for over 200 in various countries, enabling genital mutilation on women who opposed their husbands, LSD testing in the 1960s, and various torturous procedures.
    The people forcefully tested with insulin shock and LSD, haven’t received compensation, because our government declares the medical profession were allowed to torture people that way in the 1960s & 70s.
    The people who are being currently subjected to torture by the psychiatric regime, are also unlikely to receive compensation, unless there is wide-spread condemnation for the psychiatric procedures forcefully done in our government’s name on innocent people as young as two and as old as people can be. Electroshock used on 4 year olds, pills fed daily to tranquilise two year olds. Not to mention what they do to people in their prime.
    It is physically obvious what psychiatric torture does to people. It must be stopped.
    How dare anyone think our country is a democracy when this is going on. How dare the organisations of festivals censor psychiatric survivors who speak out because of sponsorship deals. How dare the Australian people be so unaware of what is happening to their citizens.
    The question is when? The answer should be now.

    Why is Cameron Frye such an underappreciated character? He was the kid I related to most in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
    12+

    This cult film is loved by so many, and yet there are many overlooked ideas in the movie. Did Cameron really make things better with his dad? What’s the deal with Ferris, anyway? He’s so sure of himself, and his parents love him and he can do whatever he wants, and he knows it! Cameron is the real MVP. Recognition is needed.

    Where are all the dead birds?
    36+

    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?

    Why are some people “lyrics” people and others not?
    20+

    The lyrics are the last thing that matter to me when I listen to a piece of music (if I can even understand them it’s a plus). But for others they seem to be the most important thing of all (weirdos). Why is this so? Probably it doesn’t matter – I’m just curious.

    What are the ethical and environmental issues around lab grown meat, for example, in the future can I still be a vegetarian if I eat “in vitro meat”?
    6+

    Labs around the world are developing lab grown meats. This will change industries related to animal consumption like farming, live export, as well as impacting energy, consumption, and world hunger. The development of this meat is happening now but the public conversation has yet to begin. Let’s start now!

    Why should I be denied the freedom to sell my organs?
    3+

    Throughout our lives we sacrifice many things for money- relationships, comfort, time- if I can rationally decide, with no duress, that dispensing with an organ is my preferred mode of raising money why should I be prevented from doing so? Particularly given that it may save the life of someone in urgent need.

    How can we balance global overpopulation while reducing the terrible suffering of factory farmed animals?
    13+

    It is one of the things that keeps me awake at night the suffering of innocent creatures to feed the ego driven need of humans to reproduce themselves with no consideration but ther own desire or ignorance.
    We cannot call ourselves civilised while we continue down this path.

    If both major political parties won’t close Manus Island and Nauru detention centres what do you think could be circuit breakers to this intractable problem?
    15+

    I feel strongly that we should and must treat asylum seekers with compassion and humanity.
    I am involved as a volunteer with the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre for last 13 years and have seen the damage inhumane processes have on people including families and children.
    I came with my family as refugees in 1939. We were deemed enemy aliens at the time despite escaping the Nazis because of Jewish ancestry. It seems to me that “we” still don’t know who the enemy is!
    I would want and keep hoping that more people when realizing the inhumanity being done in our name as well as the millions of dollars being spent from our taxes, that they would want to change the system. there are better ways.

    If vaccination is safe, why has the “Vaccine Court” in USA paid out billions in compensation?ne

    This is the elephant in the room whenever the question of vaccine safety is discussed on public media.
    I that people who are coerced into vaccination by public campaigns have the right to know accurate information about the safety and effectiveness of vaccination.

    Because new waves of migrants continue to make healthy, happy new futures in Australia while the Aboriginal people seem to suffer continued low employment and poor health.

    Despite knowing about the risks of climate change since the 1960s and after 25 years of UN climate negotiations, emissions have continued to rise. With the impacts now clearly visible around the world, why are governments still failing to act?
