What happened to him anyway?

What happened to him anyway?

He crossed the Chandrasekhar limit for that much smarmy caustic self righteousness in such a small space and turned into a black hole.

Dude couldn't even spot a basic video editing trick. He's probably searching for the tiny men that live inside his phone.

TERRIBLE take, wanting to reinstate a combative, expensive, antagonistic fault-based divorce process.

What a way to make a terrible moment in a couple's life even worse.

No-fault divorce doesn't necessarily mean that.

No-fault divorce means you can get divorced for 'no reason'. There doesn't need to be infidelity, abuse, etc. With at-fault divorce you need to identify a breach of the marital contract to even get a divorce.

It doesn't mean that if that does occur it can't be taken into account. Abuse certainly is a factor that is required to be considered in property settlements. In fact adultery theoretically could be under the 'any other factor' part of the Family Law act (particularly if part of the asset pool was spent on the affair partner)

are you trying to pretend you've never judged someone else's actions?

I’ve discussed others actions, of course, but not when it comes to why and how couples break up. Being interested is very suburban, good for you.

 

[Mostyn]

So what you're saying is that if someone is largely at fault for a marriage falling apart, there should be no consequence ??

Insane thought process

Lol, you're MILES off. Absolutely prehistoric thinking.

Let's go back to a system where both parties are trying to prove the other was more at fault, so they can "win" the divorce. Let's tie up the courts and have a system that is all about each side trying to win points and punish the other further.

Fair go, it's actually amazing to see that there's people out there who want to bring down one of the better changes we've seen in Australia.

Just reminder this is the Non Crows AFL thread if you want to have a discussion on relationship ethics please take it to another board.

Let's get back on track....

It's not a surprising stat. I suspect we will see a wider variety of teams win though.

Not me. There's an abc article on the pokie aspect.

That's some serious gambling money for Carlton & Essendon.

Would like to know how much money gambling funds the AFL as suspect it would be a massive number.

On pokies, I don't understand why they are picking on the footy clubs when there'd be a privateer a click or 2 down the road that the degenerate gamblers would just change to. Or they sell the facility to a private operator, what's the difference?

I reckon the opening hours need to be reduced. Local down the road is open from 10am to 4am, it's absurd. I'd limit them to noon-2pm and then 6pm-9pm. Bit of entertainment at lunch or dinner, but no more sitting at them all day and/or night. And tough bickies if you can't make money with those hours, but I would support a government buyback and retirement of the license at commercial value.

Sportsbet etc the same. Gambling whilst Oz sports/racing is on, but once the final race/siren blows, that's the day done. You can still bet on o/s stuff, just need to get it on during our gambling hours.
