              Most people's skills would be useless unless they're in some bullshit managerial/executive position, defense contract, IT skills, medical or basically a slave contract to go to Dubai.

              There aren't a lot of countries where your trade, shop or desk skills would be in high demands that wouldn't put you in slight risk of being the victim of America's foreign policy in bombs or it's global economic stranglehold.

              Of course, you can always know someone.

    How did they “turn violent”? Could it have something to do with the line of heavily armed people whose only real training is how to use violence?

    My parents are watching the 7.30 report and it's all 'one sidesing' the violence. Grotesque. I had to leave the room

        Even 'abmormal' tv is galling

        the ABC: 'a copper got a booboo, a ghoul was shouted at and pushed (v i o l e n c e) someone threw a coke(??? mystery liquid/ACID???! we'll trust the police on this one, also pepper spray is fine actually) and a bin was set on fire (v i o l e n c e) so here's a piece about the economic benefit of buying Israeli weapons and also Christopher Pyne to tell you why anti-war protesters should be shot at'

        Yeh but remind me again how tHe AbC iS lEfTwInG

        I dunno I remember it being exceptionally hamfisted back in the post 9/11 haze. I think it just feels more surreal now since I never watch legacy TV but it was an mundane everyday thing back then. It's the same as whenever I see an ad these days I feel like I'm on an alien planet.

        It really is unreal just how toxic it all is, and how much they'll openly lie. Journos in this country have no soul.
