    Aya raid in Britain

    Heh, yeah I was kidding. I was surprised to hear they are using it to "get in tough with their inner selves" from the Sarge. I don't know about anyone else, but that sounds like an extremely dangerous substance to me

    Love the use of single quotations.. it's always 'sacred', 'sacrament', and 'church'. These damn DRUG USERS will say anything to get away with BREAKING THE LAW!! ;)

    Some new noise

    Heh, nah just vaguely reminds me with the accent. Actually I thought it wasn't going to be very good, cos I've heard some shoddy amateur raps out on the net, but I was impressed!

    Refusing to answer police questioning

    Fair call, maybe I am coming across holier than thou. I just think that we really are lucky to live in Australia (compared to a lot of other places), and it kind of upsets me when people talk as if we've got nothing here (the government ONLY wants to rip you off, the cops ONLY want to harm you, etc, etc).

    This is not completely related, but I like to think there's patterns in the world in how things happen, so I'd like to relate this little story of mine. A few years back I was involved in a community, I don't want to say exactly what, but it revolved around some activity. Now, there was the 'old guard' who used to run everything, and were responsible for pretty much everything that happened in the community. The new breed were coming through the ranks, and were talking about a lot of problems in this community, in-fighting, people dropping out, people complaining of injustice, corruption on the boards (involving money), all kinds of stuff. The new breed (of which I was a part of), took on a sort of revolutionary air, we had all these great ideas, if only we could get rid of the old guard, they were the ones holding us back and were responsible for everything that was wrong! We knew how to fix it and we were going to make everything better. The path we went down was essentially one of division. Us vs Them. We felt we had a righteous cause, but our method was basically fueled by negativity, mistrust, and hatred. Well, in the end we won. The old boys disappeared, and there was a new dawn. Fast forward two years. Can you guess what happened? Nothing. Nothing changed, in fact, maybe things got slightly worse. The old boys had to come back and take up the reigns again because the new guys didn't do a thing. We all just disappeared. It was almost like all we really wanted was a fight. Once the fight was won, there was nothing left to fight for. The only thing left was hard work. But... we didn't sign up for that.. Well, that's my rambling story, but what I say the world needs is god damn good vibes from people all around. All that stuff about how the world is controlled really marginalises people, it makes people feel like they've got no power and they're at the mercy of some terrible force that they must struggle to fight. We're all in this together, we need people doing real life things to help (enviro people, engineer people, medical people, artists, whatever), but every single person can help by just trying to make each day better for themselves and everyone they come into contact with. Categorising all police as brutes and coming at them always with negativity in your interactions (advocating spitting at them etc) really does a disservice to our community. I think it's useful to keep in mind that however misguided people in positions of power may be, they are also human, they live on the same planet as us, and ultimately we all want to live somewhere good.

    Right, so the government is controlled by a corporation, that allows the government to act as a government so no one finds out??

    Interesting video on the admiralty law thing, but do you put automatic faith in the information in that video just because it appeals to what you'd like to be true? We're talking about the law, wouldn't you need to talk to some lawyers at least? I've been on Centrelink a few times yea, it's a pain in the arse, but the difficulty more or less comes from the bureaucracy, not because the company controlling Centrelink is conspiring to keep people out to cut their losses. Failing to get Centrelink usually means you failed the means test, meaning your parents have too many assets/income (or you do). Of course I'm not saying no one has ever been wrongly imprisoned, no one has ever been wrongly convicted, but the level of paranoia about the police in this thread seems totally unwarranted to me. Sheather: Your feeling unsafe around police would be pretty natural if you have a negative view of them. That doesn't mean they are all actually dangerous thugs out to get you. Of course, your personal experiences might tell you otherwise, and I can't argue with that at all.
