'pork' and not 'pig' ?

woohoo, bacon and ham are back in !

On converting when you don't believe in it, what's the point. Is your partner is THAT person! Why makes life complicated. Why be in a situation where you are not comfortable with your partner relatives if you do not convert. Worst, taking her away from them and makes her feel miserable. Women can h...

I sometimes hope that more athiests breed with muslims in order to expel this narrowminded mentality. Religion is a personal choice. hee hee hee - couldnt help giggling at this. especially in light of other recent narrowminded events: http://www.news.com.au/world/new-yorks-times-square-bomb-may-be-...

didnt i kinda mention the political point scoring already vaucluse - what am i, invisible ??

tony abbott is the opposition leader (for now), and it is his job to cast aspersion on anything the government does and its perceived failures. Im sure if the government spent money on improving the police force he would find yet another way to try to score political points from a contentious issue....

Hi, The obvious option is to go through with a conversion for the sake of outward appearances and do the bare minimum to maintain this position; I've heard that people do it, but whilst pragmatic, it's also being dishonest to one's self. It all depends on the basis for doing it. I have a muslim gf ...

Crime in Melbourne IS an issue. It's a big city. I don't feel safe when I'm home there especially in the city area. Night or day. Even out in the leafy Eastern suburbs I watch my back in shopping centres, at ATMs etc. Some of the crime IS racially motivated no doubt about it. Even the various new A...

Fair call. But me thinks the word you were really searching for was extrovertly

I think there is a very perceivable difference between people online and offline. very much so. In forums people can be a little bit of attention whores, that is they adore people noticing them; and most of them yearn for response and commotion. Chat medium can be even worse. People get what I term ...

This game is usually your first pet, and first address, mine would be 'Chad Cross' If you went with my favorite pet, that would be 'rani' and I'm sure thats indian for princes...

Well, I can only truly comment from my own (limited) experiences. However, its difficult to steer clear from sterotypes and generalisations - and there are always exceptions to the rule.

careful, seraphim is a pool shark, she has an unfair advantage with guiding her pool cue straight !

Ahhh Seraphim, stirring up the savage beasts it seems....... I wont try my hand at grotty poetry; I left those fantasy idealistic out-of-touch-with-reality notions long before I lost my innocence. :p Nonethless, it is cute what some people will do for attention, and well done for a clever and witty ...

Oh if you like to listen to my esoteric life philosphies, I'll throw another one of my favorite in then..... Life is about taking risks, if you are too scared of risks and making mistakes, what are you living ? :wink: on a slightly more obscure (and probably stolen) ideal: Don't take life too seriou...
