    Safety shouldn't be a gender based issue. We are living in a world where its no longer safe for anyone to walk to the streets late at night on their own. If anyone wants to see how scummy and depraved do-gooder suburban housewives can become, then rock-up to Oxford Street at 2:00 AM on a Saturday morning. Its not just men that become scummy and depraved after filling their bellies with grog. When these drunken slappers target a good-looking guy, they would stop at nothing to get what they want.

    Oh I agree. We all make ourselves targets when choosing to walk alone at night - male or female.

    An Italian Boy's Confession
    "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."

    The priest asks, "Is that you, little Joey Pagano?"

    "'Yes, Father, it is."

    "And who was the girl you were with?"

    "I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."

    "Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"

    "I cannot say."

    "Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"

    "I'll never tell."

    "Was it Nina Capelli?"

    "I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."

    "Was it Cathy Piriano?"

    "My lips are sealed."

    "Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?"

    "Please, Father, I cannot tell you."

    The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."

    Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"

    "Four months vacation and five good leads!"

    Donald Trump could be ready to order a strike against Iran, Australian Government figures say
    Exclusive by political editor Andrew Probyn and defence reporter Andrew Greene
    Posted about 1hr ago
    "Senior figures in the Turnbull Government have told the ABC they believe the United States is prepared to bomb Iran's nuclear capability, perhaps as early as next month, and that Australia is poised to help identify possible targets."
    Does this mean we'll be heading back to business as usual, a war in the Middle East?

    I can't believe he can be so capricious. Isolationism, the foul up in Syria and now jumping back in again.

    Look tomorrow it will be a totally different story. It's not his fault though, it's because the media reports what he says not what he means.

    This was the ABC, I hope you're right.
    I wish he'd learn to say what he means.

    That old fart. Couldn't care less what he says or does. Sick to death of hearing about someone else's leader.

    He's a headline grabber that's for sure.
    Incidentally, have you heard of increased use of Nitrofurantoin in UTIs?
    I've heard that there's a policy of not treating asymptomatic UTIs and esp not with ABs.

    Haven't treated 'normal range' UTI's (or ear infections) with AB's for years. Bad medicine, baby.

    You're just envious because Australia can't bomb who they like, when they like, etc.
    You guys probably couldn't even bomb New Zealand if you wished to do so.

    Of course nearly everything they carry for war is :flagus: made.
    Especially the expensive stuff.
    Purchased with earmarked :flagus: aid.

    And what about what they brought back from Vietnam? Heroin addiction, PTSD, Agent Orange Syndrome, Penicillin resistant STDs?

    Hey, it was their only option to go to war.
    Now you have a smorgasbord of options via U.N. actions.
    Where around the world are Aussie military today?

    Remember Gallipoli.
    And the Aussie Mounted Infantry in the M.E. although they served and survived.
    And those poor guys with the Brits & Hindus trying to invade the Ottomans by river.
    Starvation. Disease. Massacre

    Compared to that, what's a little
    "Heroin addiction, PTSD, Agent Orange Syndrome, Penicillin resistant STDs?"

    No, there was another option but our lickspittle government didn't take it up. Just because there's an army, doesn't mean you have to go to war.

    The war in Vietnam was created by the United States.

    Obviously, when you have an army and the whole globe before you,
    it's like impossible not to blow some stuff up and spend other peoples' blood, bone and lives.
    The pull must have been overwhelming for Bubba Clinton, Bush the Junior and Obama too.
    War We Must.
    And supports our national war industries too. Boeing. Lockheed.

    Now Reagan had a "good" intervention. Granada. Worthy of a Clint Eastwood movie.



    Where are Australia troops today, outside of AussieLand?
