Why is it when we try to help our fellow humans by offering them advice or suggestions, instead of being grateful they call us a grammar Nazi?

Why is it the human brain is pre-programmed to always expect the worst?

Why is it I get stuck behind a knob who is attempting to turn left onto a multi lane road and even though the left lane is empty, they won't go because they want to go straight into the right lane!

Why is it that I find the cashed up bogans on the road wanting to intimidate me out of the way? I consider myself to be a courteous driver buy I refuse to be intimidated when I know I am in the right.

Because what your buying is imported crap from Europe, maybe try spending more than $4/kg and you'll find something decent.
Plenty of great bacon out there if you don't feel the need to buy it in bulk from Costco etc.

Why is it teachers think the answer to kids not handling the pressure of an exam is to stop having exams, rather than teaching kids to handle pressure?

As a society, we actively discourage drug use for obvious reasons. Ice, Heroin, Speed, Cocaine, Ecstasy, Cannabis, Methamphetamine.................... all substances that are considered illegal, highly addictive and harmful to human life.
So, "Why is it" alcohol is not more closely restricted? This stuff is just as addictive and harmful yet there is nothing to limit it's use. Watching someone gripped by alcohol is painful and exhausting. And yet that person has a limitless supply if so chosen. I despise alcohol. I despise those who make it. I despise those who sell it. And I do not care who I offend with those statements.

He is on the same path to an early grave so I am well aware how bad it gets when you have a problem. I don't think it should be restricted but they sure milk the taxes on durries and booze and more should be put into problems they cause. |

Why is it that the Asians have so much disposable cash to throw at property and gambling?

Why is it performance enhancing substances are banned in sport yet beauty contests allow women to wear makeup?

to be honest, I would rather watch the Giro or Tour De France with all the riders on drugs than watch them riding in full drag.

No, full skirts in a heavy crosswind would be comical. And no more sneaky leaks on the go.

They do pots of tea at my local bowlo, my mum often likes a cuppa. She just has to decide what tea she feels like.

…Nobody makes tea in a pot any more? I feel like a cultural outpost.
We have a pot of tea for mornos me and the Mrs. She bought a new tea pot the other day. Me, "Is the other one broken?" Her, "No but this one is better, it's stainless steel" Me, "So is the other one" Her, "Well this one has the built in tea strainer, I got sick of having to use a strainer" Me, "Yes, me too, so much hard work, not" That's why we also have 8 pairs of tongs, 3 potato mashers, 12 pairs of scissors lying about, 2 complete sets of cutlery in the draw, and look out if you mix them up. I could go on, and don't start me off about towels. This is all for just 2 people.
