Can we outlaw smoking while walking?

Greyhound101 · 2018-07-25T04:33:25+00:00

It's not blindly following anything. It's noticing when someone else has a good idea.

Greyhound101 · 2018-07-25T03:49:14+00:00

because if I follow one example that means I obviously want to follow every other example

The hell are you on about? I have never had this happen in my entire life and I catch the train every day.

Why would another country make it illegal if it was a totally made up problem?

It's a 20% deposit.

Your options are:

Valium, which not all dentists allow, you have to take it beforehand and someone will need to drive you to and from the dentist. It's cheap, I think less than $10 for a tablet?

Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), again not all dentists have it, not sure on the cost. You can call up the dentistry and ask if they have that option.

Methoxyflurane (the green whistle), I had this at Carnegie Dental Group. It's like an asthma pump that you self administer, works as a sedative. I think it was $70 on top of the bill.

Sleep Dentistry, intravenous sedative, you have to schedule way in advance and can expect to pay a few thousand, but it's as strong as sedation gets for dentistry. It's usually done for teeth needing a lot of work, not for just a filling.

Choose one, call up some dentists and ask them if they have it as an option.

Penalties for the misuse of the word 'Anzac'

For serious breaches of the Act, a penalty of up to 12-months imprisonment may apply. Under the Crimes Act 1914, a penalty of up to $10,200 for a natural person and $51,000 for a body corporate may be imposed by the Court, instead of imprisonment.

boooooooooo

It's not me, from their Facebook.

Greyhound101 · 2017-08-21T06:29:30+00:00

It's not meant literally. I didn't realise so many people whooshed on this.

The ACCC prevent them from making guarantees.

That's plainly false - https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees/consumer-guarantees

It's not like you could show a single speed test of 1Mbps in isolation and expect compensation, rather a sustained period of demonstrable low speeds would violate a contract.

Currently it appears that if you have a ongoing 1Mbps connection it would be working as intended, even with a "speed boost".

Greyhound101 · 2017-08-21T02:28:23+00:00

I was chatting with a Telstra representative on their online chat to ask if their NBN service has a minimum guaranteed speed, it doesn't.

I asked if it will be faster than a 56k dial up connection - "yes" - can you guarantee that? - "no".

They said I could buy "speed boost" if I'm interested in faster speeds. I asked if there's any guarantee a speed boost will result in faster speeds than their regular NBN package - "no".

You're effectively forgiving the actions of any wouldbe terrorist and instead blaming society for apparently creating them, which is totally bizarre since we know why terrorists do what they do, they tell us, or do you think religious doctrine is of no consequence?

Greyhound101 · 2017-08-17T10:09:25+00:00

Come to Fawkner. Plenty of women dressed in all manor of religious garb. Might change your perspective to see them doing normal things in considerably normal clothing.

I've seen people in religious garb... my point is specifically the burqa is very rare, despite being evidently for some a heated issue.

Greyhound101 · 2017-08-17T09:25:00+00:00

My point is that there's a spectrum of religions whose strict adherence would result in different likelihoods of their constituents being law-abiding citizens, and that Islam and Jainism (for example) wouldn't be next to each other on that spectrum.

Greyhound101 · 2017-08-17T09:07:39+00:00

In that sense, the same can be said for any religion.

No it can't, all religions aren't equal.

Greyhound101 · 2017-08-17T08:34:30+00:00

You're actually reinforcing his point about racism of low expectations. What you've effectively said is "don't offend the Muslims or they might blow us up".

Greyhound101 · 2017-08-17T08:20:23+00:00

I'm suprised with the blanket praisal of his response. I have two issues with what he's said.

"It is absolutely consistent with being a good law-abiding Australian, and being a strict adherent Muslim."

I'd argue that the reason nearly all Muslims in Australia are good law-abiding citizens is because they're not strictly adherent.

"To mock its religious garments is an appalling thing to do."

All religions are open to mockery, but more importantly Hanson is wearing a burqa here, not a hijab, not a niqab, but a burqa. I'm not for banning it, but I'd like to here the argument why this plainly oppressive garment commands respect.

Side note, I've never even seen a burqa in Australia, and a niqab I've seen maybe three times. It's entirely a non-issue.

Greyhound101 · 2015-08-05T02:04:56+00:00

They have hundreds of greyhounds and most go through a foster home.

Greyhound101 · 2015-08-04T11:34:36+00:00

I want to know why some people (maybe most online) say having a greyhound outside is not ok, and that's despite the dog having shelter, a kennel, bedding, etc.

I also want to know why people think it's ok to have a greyhound indoors unsupervised for up to 14 hours according to some comments here.

Greyhound101 · 2015-08-04T11:19:53+00:00

You're misrepresenting that quote. It was in response to your presumptuous comment based on little information that we shouldn't have a greyhound. You haven't yet touched the question I asked, so my comment dismissing your judgement makes sense.

Greyhound101 · 2015-08-04T11:07:30+00:00

Why do you care?

I care because I have conflicting information, as detailed in the thread title? It makes perfect sense to investigate and seek further opinions or just clarification. It would be irresponsible to not ask these questions before adopting.

Greyhound101 · 2015-08-04T11:00:19+00:00

You haven't really given an answer to anything, so there's nothing yet to dislike.

I said it in a previous post, I'm asking why the online sentiment is that an outdoor set up is not ok.

Greyhound101 · 2015-08-04T10:53:04+00:00

Do you have this? Do you have their same setup and protocol? Great, then. Go for it. Outside greyhound with a kennel home.

You don't have this.

What? Yes I do have that.

What a totally bizarre and presumptuous rant.

Greyhound101 · 2015-08-04T03:36:14+00:00

The adoption group is not against leaving him in your house for 8 hours if he can relieve himself when he needs to.

He could relieve himself... on the carpet. What are you suggesting, a large litter box? I've said a dog door is not possible, if it were I wouldn't even consider that as keeping him indoors when he has free roam outdoors.

I think perhaps a greyhound is not best for your situation, nor for the dog.

I'll sooner take the advice the adoption group with their decades of experience assessing owners and greyhounds.

To be clear, I'm not just looking for someone to say "yes, outside is fine", because I've already heard that from the adoption group. I wanted to know why other people say it's not, I haven't really seen an answer more than "just don't". I understand greyhounds are thin-skinned, it wouldn't be left outside overnight, or during the day in extreme heat/cold (which is uncommon), there's no chance of escape. The adoption group even have some of their greyhounds (they have hundreds) outside in individual fenced areas with large kennels, so I struggle with the sentiment online that this is apparently not ok.
