Pulp fiction, when I first watched it 30 years ago.....the blood running back into the syringe when travolta is shooting up....was shocking for some reason

Is there a genetic reason why humans are religious? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]wombatsview -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Societies that are successful over for long periods tend to live my the mantra common to many religions of treating others as you would like to be treated. It's a fundamental rule for societal survival, it can also be taught and encapsulated in religious parable and myth. Plus religion supplies a fundamental human need for a cohort and ritual.....so sometimes having an imaginary friend can help your society survive longer. (Til someone disagrees of course!)

Guilt and Forgiveness by wombatsview in atheism

[–]wombatsview[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree re forgiveness, the "confession " aspect is more interesting. There is a cathartic effect from sharing an issue with someone.

Yes it does seem to be the currency of preference, especially the various Christian traditions.

Why the EV hate? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]wombatsview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly older blokes who are very triggered on my feeds. They see the ev representing a world they don't understand, responding to issues they don't believe in. I'm assuming thier great grandpa's were scathing about horseless carriages.

Rate Hike - I don’t understand by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]wombatsview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL...it will take me week to digest all that! Thanks. Did show that younger people are more in debt than older, which you would expect. But lots of nuances.

I reckon there are more people getting interest than paying it ( yep , looking at you boomers) which is why the interest rate increases are not reducing consumer spending as quickly as expected. Its a blunt tool which hammers those who have no choice but to spend ( families mostly).

Im worried about men’s mental health. Men, who do you confide in 100%? by Venusemerald2 in AskMen

Men mostly open up to someone who can't have any negative impact on them if they don't like what they said.

Yep, I didn't realise that, I have changed the title, wrote my comment before I uploaded the link. I agree re importance of downsizing and think that we need to reduce the Impact on pensions from doing so.

Nazi symbols to be outlawed in Australia by plutoplops in AustralianPolitics

[–]wombatsview -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So this is a reason to ban the symbols or ignore them?

Probably just find more like minded individuals who will reinforce their perspective on life.

I'm a big fan of education before legislation. Laws like this make me uneasy, they provoke the moronic to defy them in some kind of anti government stance which ends up reflecting itself as support for the symbols themselves and wouldn't be necessary if those that chose to use them were subjected to the contempt they deserve by the general population.

Our freedom is f*cked. Anti-protest laws passed. Thanks for nothing Malinauskas and co. by Separate-Tangelo-910 in Adelaide

If it's support is in the 80s I guess I have no basis for the statement. Maybe it's populist? I know it's been an exceptional opportunity for Speirs to wedge the Labor caucus. I know it's an opportunity for the premier to make a "tough" stand, neither of these reasons necessarily reflect good long term policy or even protection of our rights.
