  • Ah, I had a look at @RadicalGraffiti to see if they had more images and quickly learned that 13th Dec is "13.12 day".

  • For what it's worth, the Technion protest was organised weeks before the location was announced, so it was definitely nothing to do with it being a place of worship.

  • education system to teach all kids (because we no longer go to school ourselves)

    Why should we abandon the vast majority of our population, just because we're not forced to attend school? Education isn't limited to the classroom!

    As with any issue of survival, the application of effective skills are worthy solutions to the problems we face.

    It's less a solution and more a coping mechanism. I am in support of promoting these skills, but I'm also in strong support of mitigating the commecialisation of news media as much as possible. And that includes outlawing these kind of articles.

  • Yep, had to ask teacher for permission. Some would say 'you should have gone during the break' but I can't remember if anyone was denied (and I don't know if that would be illegal).

  • It's unfortunate that the article didn't add some more detail about the long-standing use of the Eureka flag by the labour movement as a symbol of worker's rights. I've seen it a few times among the pro-Palestinian/Lebanese protests and in the CFMEU anti-administration protests.

  • Lmao the hezbollah and iran are the one fighting ISIS.

    Many, many groups and states are fighting ISIS, even the Western alliances. There are thousands of reasons to criticize the zionist regime, so please avoid coming over here and posting weird claims like suggesting only Hezbollah and Iran are combating ISIS - there's no point in playing out the liberalist 'good guy'/'bad guy' fantasy and ending up with american-level exceptionalism like this. Genocide is genocide, and Hezbollah and Iran are defending themselves against the expanding genocidal zionist regime.

  • Small difference, ISIS are the most disgusting animals/people on the planet

    That's a similarity, not a difference. The main difference is that the zionist regime does comparable acts of torture and genocide at a systematic state level, enabled by its allies.

    Whether one group is muslim or not makes no difference in this context. Australian citizens are being recruited to engage in a genocidal conquest, no point in saying one is better than the other.

  • fwiw, personal privacy isn't the reason I close the door, it's consideration of others.

  • Ah, making a clickbait article about a ranking and quoting the experts telling people not to just look at the ranking! Great journing, SBS.

    Thanks, Antibait Aktion!

  • Zedda is a new one to me, but I reckon it will stick.

  • But Was He Really the First to Fly in Australia?

    This kind of question clearly depends on the definition of flight, but it would have been nice for the article to give an honourable mention to Lawrence Hargrave, who lived in Australia since age 15.

    Of great significance to those pioneers working toward powered flight, Hargrave successfully lifted himself off the ground under a train of four of his box kites at Stanwell Park Beach on 12 November 1894.

    Obviously very different to a piloted and controlled flight like the Wright Brothers and these examples, but certainly notable.

  • by not using the countries name

    "America" is not their country's name either ("USA" is actually closer, now that you mention it)

  • no one says Gen Zed

    Odd choice of example, I hear it often.

  • Can you please share links to China's homelessness statistics? Maybe my search engine is junk because I'm struggling to find any information later than 2011 (before some of the efforts to reduce it).

  • google verb: 4) To search for (something) on the Internet using any comprehensive search engine.

  • It would be great if we had laws which stopped people from doing that (both our own citizens and foreign). I want landleeches to scatter from here just like they did from China. No home for house hoarders.

  • Who was our best Prime Minister and why?
