If you can't love your kids, give them to someone who will

There have always been bad parents and probably always will, but I can't understand how anyone can be deliberately cruel or indifferent to their kids.  Any father who throws his little girl off a bridge does not deserve to share the air we breath.  Even worse was the fact he did it in front of his son!!!!  Then there was poor Zara Baker who lost a leg from cancer and was partially deaf.  So what did that dear little girl do to get stuck with the stepmother from hell??  The thing that makes me really angry is that her father did not even notice she was missing for 3 weeks.  A dead beat father gives his toddler a loaded gun and then photographs her with it.  So I was completely shocked to read that some kids starting school in Britain do not know their name.  The reason for this is that their parents do not talk to, or interact with them.  HOW CAN THIS BE?????     I cannot comprehend this but apparently it is not that uncommon.  There are countless couples out there desperate for children, so please it you can't love your kids, then give them to someone who can and will.

It's not natural

I hope that these horrible baby beauty pageants do not catch on here.  What are they trying to prove????There is nothing pretty or cute about making toddlers wear false teeth, false eyelashes, fake tan and big hair, in fact its grotesque!  It's all about the mothers craving attention.  I am not surprised that it is big business in America, because every second person has had a face lift of a boob job. So where you have artificial adults, why not artificial kids?  I'm sure that we Aussies are much less conceited and are happy to let kids be kids and enjoy themselves while they can.

Get those idiots off the road!!!

When will the organisers do something about the idiots that run onto the road and cause chaos during the Tour de France?  Will a rider have to be killed before barriers are put in place?  At the very least there should be more security and police.  I am not a Contador fan, but I applaud him for hitting out at the wanker in green who harassed him.  In fact, I'm all for allowing the cyclists carte blanch when it comes to dealing with these pests.  Maybe the cyclists could go on strike or move their tour to another country (Britain would be nice).  Seriously though, this is a growing problem and something must be done.

Julia Bob saves the world

Thank you Julia & Bob for saving the world with your new carbon tax!!!  America, China and Europe will be so grateful.  I didn't even know that Australia was to blame for global warming.

Will the Saints go backwards (on & off the field)?

I know that they like playing backwards, but now that the Lovett case has gone to trial, will it mean the Saints game goes downhill again?  One step forward, two steps back?  If this happens then there needs to be a major shakeup.  There seems to be some good talent among the younger ones and I'm looking forward to seeing them get a go.
I wonder if we will hear from Kimmie soon.  She must be getting media withdrawal symptoms by now?

Why can't I believe her?

We are a single, low income family.  We use rainwater, wash in cold water using biodegradable powder and our grey water goes onto the garden.  Almost everything that comes into our household is recycled, either into the compost, fed to the chooks, used as mulch (shredded paper), reused in craft projects or donated to charity.  We eat very little meat & grow almost all our own fruit & veg.  Our household rubbish bin is rarely put out for collection and our recycle bin only contains excess newspapers or items we cannot re-use.  We do this because it seems the right thing to do, but I sometimes wonder why we bother!  After all this our carbon footprint should be minuscule.  I have listened to the statements made by the PM regarding the costs and reimbursements of the carbon tax, so why am I so sceptical when she says we will be better off?  The price of electricity will skyrocket over and above what has been stated, as will fuel and most other commodities, and there is nothing we can do about it.  There is no way that any Government can compensate us for the rises in costs that we are about to face.

Apparantly I'm a Racist!

I'm an Austalian, I was born here, as were my parents, grandparents and great grandparents.  My extended family consists of 10 different nationalities/ethnic groups (including the daughter of a Cambodian refugee), and we all get along fine.  BUT, it seems that I am a racist because I agree with the majority of Australians who cannot undertand why someone would choose to come and live here, and then complain about every aspect of the Australian way of life.  If you don't like the laws, the way people dress, the religions etc, then choose a country that is more compatable with your views and way of thinking.  Well, I've said it now, so will definitely be labelled a racist!!!!
