Hiro Protagonist

We don't celebrate Halloween here either. They're trying to commercialise it and push it through places like Supermarkets but most people are like 'meh, not for me'. Not something most people grew up with and really isn't the time of year for us as opposed to the Northern Hemisphere.

I don't see Moore getting back his popularity as he did before. He seems to be a product of the time, ten years ago. While he still has his fans, I haven't bothered watching anything after Fahrenheit 9/11 and moved on. Maybe because I'm apathetic to a lot of issues now. :/

American network NBC publishes map showing the whole of Australia is on fire. Oops According to NBC, pretty much the entire country is on fire, including vast swathes of Cape York, the entire Darwin region, and vast portions of Western Australia's Great Sandy Desert where you'd be lucky to find two blades of grass to rub together.

There was a lot of references and easter eggs in the latest episode. Ra's al Ghul, Metamorpho, Black Canary's canary cry, Birds of Prey Clocktower, Amazo. This season is shaping up to be pretty awesome.

Interesting. Petroleum Geologists in Australia can earn up to $240K - $300K. But they're senior positions. http://www.seek.com.au/job/25400607 http://www.seek.com.au/job/25391448 There's some real wage disparities between the U.S. and other countries. edit: found a starting position. Range between $90K - 160K http://peopleforthefuture.com.au/professional/geoscience/petroleum-geologist/

The average value of a 4-year degree is increased earnings income of $900,000, almost a million dollars, compared to a high school education. I think that's worth the investment. If so many people have degrees, then why aren't they earning hundreds of thousands of dollars?

What game is Cultist referring to? Edit. found it in the other forum.

Gravity. Awesome movie. Sitting on the edge of my seat throughout. 9/10.

Not quite. A Hoon is someone who is involved in anti-social behaviour whilst driving their car (or boat).

Crazy French Tourists. http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/woman-charged-after-police-find-man-in-a-dinosaur-onesie-joyriding-on-bonnet-20131020-2vuno.html#ixzz2iH2811dX Police were on their way to Gantheaume Point Cable Beach at 7:20am on Sunday, when they spotted a white Ford Falcon wagon travelling about 60 kilometres an hour (37 mph), with a man lying on the bonnet. Police stopped the car, with the man still lying on the bonnet facing the driver, smoking a cigarette, dressed in a dinosaur onesie and wearing a snorkel. The vehicle was seized under hoon legislation. Both the male and female are French nationals of no fixed address. It is believed they are backpackers... I don't know which part of that is the most bizarre. The fact he was smoking a cigarette while she was driving at 60 kmh? The fact he was wearing a Onesie? Let alone a dinosaur one. The snorkel and smoking? Trying to be a chimney?

Toby Sheldon pays $100,000 on plastic surgery to look like Justin Bieber Oh Dear. http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/beauty/toby-sheldon-pays-100000-on-plastic-surgery-to-look-like-justin-bieber/story-fnjck634-1226743228893# Doesn't even look like Beiber!

All I know is I'm better off now than I was 20 years ago.

Been watching shows that have come back and new shows. Strike Back. Season 4 finale. Awesome. Can't wait til next year when it comes back for the next season. Walking Dead. meh. Still the same. Funny recap of the last 3 seasons. Still reading the comic which is great. Hawaii Five-0. Ridiculous over the top fun action. Still pretty good. Criminal Minds. Standard cop procedural show. C.S.I. Same as above. Arrow. Awesome. Hello Ladies. Stephen Merchant comedy similar to The Office UK and Extras but without Gervais. Tomorrow People. Good remake. Agents of SHIELD. Given up on it for now. Will wait for the series to finish and watch it in one go.

It's not the UK. It's everywhere. And then you get these ridiculous excuses like, "I did not know what beheading was". And children are encouraged to hold signs like these while their mothers think it's cute and take photos.

And how many predictions did she get wrong? In a 2005 speech in San Francisco, Yellen predicted that the housing bubble "could be large enough to feel like a good-sized bump in the road, but the economy would likely be able to absorb the shock. She was wrong. The economy didn't absorb the shock. She (like others) will say two things at the same time to play both sides of the fence. If the economy did absorb the shock, then she was right. If it didn't then she'll say it was the housing bubble that hurt the economy and she was right.

We always hear years later how someone predicted the housing crisis, the GFC or some other thing in history.

I'm surprised how properties could fall so much in the U.S.. 75% is unbelievable. During the GFC, property prices in Australia mainly stagnated and stayed the same or dropped slightly. I bought an investment property in Sydney during the GFC back in 2010. Now, we're experiencing a mini-boom mainly due to investors jumping into the market. But Australia is quite different with property bubbles as we don't have the big crashes like in the U.S. and Ireland. Mainly small corrections.

I want to see it hit 20 trillion. Come on USA, I know you can do it.

Just need to print more money. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6vi528gseA

I've heard of outdoor pit dunnies being called the 'long drop' before but .... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6c1_1381171219 The comments to the story are great.

His reply did quote the video as said by you in 'a series of replies'. If you're going to be pedantic, then at least use common sense in its correct format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_sense http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/common+sense?s=t Yes, proper words do go a long way. So how about using it in its correct format. Acknowledge my own misuse of stereotypes and assumptions? LMAO. Nice strawman tactic there. And you didn't use North America? I guess your response is a figment of everyone's imagination even though you did use it. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/64475-tel-afar-primary-school-attacked/?p=1379023 Yep, you didn't refer to North America in that post. That post there must be referring to another North America that doesn't exist. Look above. You did state a geographical location. Stop lying and trying to weasel your way out of this. Where are you going with this comment? Another strawman tactic? Troll bait? So you admit to resorting to childish responses. This is the sort of responses you're now lowering yourself to. Was that so hard to say? Why did it take so long including a wall of text to answer a simple question? Did answering this push you off the fence of political correctness and you're now uncomfortable in stating the bleeding obvious? Because stating things like this is a big no-no. You might be labelled as a bigot or anti-muslim or anti-whatever because you dared to speak out against the conditions of women in predominately muslim countries? You can be critical of something without be anti-muslim (or anti-whatever) about it. Everything else in your post was just a rant on rubbish, red herrings and off-topic stuff.

"Living Ohio man Donald Miller ruled 'legally dead'" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24486718 A judge this week found death rulings cannot be overturned after three years. Judge Allan Davis handed down the ruling in Han**** County, Ohio, probate court on Monday, calling it a "strange, strange situation", according to media reports. "We've got the obvious here. A man sitting in the courtroom, he appears to be in good health,'' he said, finding that he was prevented by state law from declaring Mr Miller legally alive. "I don't know where that leaves you, but you're still deceased as far as the law is concerned." The phrase "only in America" comes to mind. Heaven help him if he wants to travel and needs a passport – Passport page would need additional entries; DOB – date of birth DOD – date of death DO reB -date of re-birth Would this legally dead person be responsible for any crimes they may commit, would they have to pay tax? Well, I guess in the US he could not pay tax if he wanted to nor could anyone legally employ him because his social security number was cancelled. It's very interesting in the legal sense since he is currently not restricted by any laws due to him being dead but conversely he is also not protected by any laws due to being dead. It is not illegal to kill a dead person. Possibly they could be charged with interfering with a corpse but that is a minor thing.

It's actually you that has changed the goal posts. lickety-split's comment was about Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan. His reply even quoted the video of Malala Yousafazai. Your reply changed the goal posts to North America and took lickety-split's comment out of context. A bit of common sense would go a long way when reading people's posts and what they're actually quoting and in what context. Even I could see his response wasn't about women in Western Countries. Not change the goal posts to North America. Or are you just arguing for the sake of arguing, because your quote here comes across as a bit childish. eg. I'm not going to answer your question until you change your stance. na na. Why not just answer likety-split's question?

Äkta människor (Real Humans). Started watching this today and quite a good TV show. Similar to movies like Blade Runner, Bicentennial Man, A.I. and others in the same genre.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Enjoyed the first episode and looks like a great show, much like the original series.
