Not 80s/90s but anything by the Marx Brothers and Kind Hearts and Coronets.

It was the opening of Raiders that got me. The spiders especially.

For a start take the weapons off them and give them time to cool off. Long term create diversion programs to get them out of the current…

The saluters are often instigators of the mentality that fosters violent crimes. They do have some pretty bad form on this. What I don’t…

Just get one with a dongle to do conversion to headphone jack. Although I prefer the Bluetooth headphones now.

Frankly if you take that attitude then all laws could be called pointless. The harder it is to obtain a weapon the less the issue will…

You eat meat with a machete or a hunting knife?

And your excuse for the white guys who are violent here? Is that just part of our culture? However, there was a problem with the Vietnamese…

It depends on what you define as a weapon. This increases the definition.

Actually it is exactly the same. You are punishing people for what their family does.

Thanks. Just waving a flag for sanity and proportion.

Well we used to have the White Australia policy.

It costs $153,895 per prisoner per year in incarceration costs. You can do a lot of diversion practices for that sort of money. It also…

Because we get the sort of posts like the OP makes. There are some legitimate uses for some things that can become weapons. The problem is…

Really? You think this is actually what is going to happen here? This will just become an extension of search and seizure laws. The cops…

This is a very small minority of mostly young males who are committing the crimes. As I’ve repeatedly said deal with the root causes and…

Same, same but different. It is employing the equivalent treatment. I notice he won’t apply the same principle.

This allows weapons to be seized befure things get threatening. I prefer the cops have this discretionary right. A guy threshing his block…

So you are still in conjecture land here. Let’s see what the final legislation ends up being.

If you look at overseas countries our gun laws are very effective. However, don’t let facts get in the way of your story.

I suspect the vast majority of people really don’t care if this gets passed or not. This is way down on the benchmark on if the…

I suspect some of the people posting here lean towards the right in politics and think Murdoch is a lefty pinko.

And that is very much the point. Stop and search then arrest them before it turns into a free for all. I don’t think someone in their…

I think it would depend on who you are.

As I said as long as it applies to children of citizens as well then fair enough. Your kid misbehaves you go to jail as well. People here…

Yeah, “ditto” will lose you the argument as well.

When you use phrases like “nanny state” you’ve already lost the argument.

Actually the NeoNazis do concern me. However, if they ever faced some of the machete wielding kids they would probably crap themselves.

Link that with sharp implements and the uh oh factor goes up. However, it can get insane at times. We bought a paring knife from a…

You are probably right. I do need to stop trying to be the voice of reason.
