    yep they love a nice smokescreen to hide behind while they do sneaky stuff. I can just see little johnny in the partyroom asking "how can we get this one through without it being noticed?" Someone will reply "just start up the australia card debate again."

    Wouldn't work, smile and it changes
    Or get someone like Stoppers who could fit on enough barcodes for everyone on this forum
    Just get everyone enlisted in the Armed Forces and all outsiders would be buggered then, except on a Wednesday.

    The basic problem is human nature. There will always be those who feel the need for violence due to their life experience. Who is to say that a good wholesome caring life is the way it should be anyway, we just decide that we will make rules and religions to try and make it so.

    But you will never get everyone to abide by rules. Can't even get footy and soccer suporters to agree to to disagry lol.

    All we can hope is to do what your mind considers right and hope others have the same views.

    Life involves a lot of luck. For example the guy who rips off your house does so because he needs to survive in his idea of life, crime is not wrong to him. How do you contend with those who have no sense of fairness?

    So long and thanks for all the fish is what the Dolphins said as they returned to their planet. But who cares?

    I assume everyone new that to attack on a Wednesday would be the way to go cos everyone is on a sportie?

    Same as attacking Malaysia on a Friday morning when they are all at prayer.

    Didn't Bob Hawke try and get this through back in the 80's?

    In some ways, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Not everyone has a drivers license. Can't see how it would help prevent terrorism though. I'm in the don't care camp.

    Almost right, after lunch, well used to be.
    Just got a bloody great fright, typing away and a bloody great spider just rapalled down between me and the computer and went in behind my desk.
    I suppose on the waterfront it could be anytime as the wharfies would need to organise a protest delegation, just stroll past while they are doing it or pay a union fee

    How about they just insert an RFID into each one of us? Then they could have scanners everywhere and they'd know where we are AT ALL TIMES.

    I'm sure that creepy walking cadaver Ruddock would love the idea.

    Are you a spider crusher or do you move them outside to take care of insects? Usually the ones that drop in like that explore the sole of my shoe in great detail.

    Just reminded me of an incident in Malaysia. Two of the 1RAR army troops stagerring back to base decided to stop at the Mosque and steal all the left hand thongs and drop them in the monny. The next day we had a special parade to avert an "international Incident" and the whole 1RAR Contingent were flown home that day as they would not identify the culprits.

    Don't be fooled, most of us are trackable as is from out credit cards, mobile phones etc. Not easy to disappear unless you really are a Luddite.

    Even when online on a woodwork forum, perhaps??????
