I live in WA.

Does that mean I have a drug problem?

Colin Sylvia has reportedly been arrested for drug possession and trafficking. It's good to see him finally get some of the pill.

amazing how many footballers get busted within a year of retirement... but never when they are still playing....

never retire sniffers.

RDR was a great game overall but didn't enjoy the ending as much as others have said to.

I'm not keen on endings like that, without giving too much away.

See: mass effect 3 ending

Personal theory is that Australia offers too much support to people who fail. Not just Perth I've never lived there but Adelaide in comparison to other places I live. I've no problem with people who choose to do drugs their choice but supporting them rather than allowing them to suffer the consequences of making that choice doesn't do anyone any favors for mine. I'm to the left on most political views it's just the sense of entitlement by people that are too lazy to do anything for themselves annoys me and the safety net for people that f***up doesn't do anything to encourage people to make more productive choices. Australia for mine isn't living up to its potential, you can work there and make good money in Australia but outside of that I don't feel the pride in the place I believe that I should feel and it's mostly having to deal with the people that believe Meth is an acceptable party/social drug and those who have learned to work the system after making bad choices that are responsible for that. All country's have their faults of course but Australia I've always thought for whatever reason should have done things better.

America has a far worse problem and offers zero assistance as do countries like Thailand etc. places that offer excellent help like Scandinavian countries and countries where drugs are legal have fewer problems.
It's prohibition that's the problem, causes so many other effects and prevents people seeking help early on.

It wasn't even the method of the ending that bothered me. It was the actual writing/event.

Maybe something to that. I just don't think the current system works.

Brand news album the devil and god are raging inside me is pretty top tier.

Seriously, no need to spoiler alert the Mass Effect 3 ending. Nothing to see there.

I was always a glass half full kinda gamer though, and reminisced on how great the journey was.

A lot of rage posting in the video games thread though.

Being in the most isolated city on earth could **** with your head too.

Geographically(capital city) its true
There's something about Perth that doesn't rhyme

Hopefully it picks up after learning how to ride a horse and shoot some rabbits.

And the fact it never bloody rains. Day after day after day of sparkling blue skies and sunshine might sound idyllic but it would do my head in.

3 degrees this morning not so idyllic.

I was watching cops for a few minutes the other day and an older lady with an obvious drug problem was being treated like crap by the cop, she's not a ****ing dealer, she's probably struggling. I hate the way they deal with people over there.

A system that offers no support to the weakest and allows the wealthy to skew the system in their favour will result in a society that offers no real reward for the average person to work hard as there is very little chance they will be rewarded for their efforts. It is only the age of entitlement for those with large amounts of capital. Median incomes relative to the cost of living have not risen since the 1970's whilst economic output has soared.
