I need to vent!

Very true. The only type of discussion here on race etc should be how superior the Decepticons are.

I am a strong believer in the Decepticon cause too, but that wasn't enough to stop my Decepticon badge on my car from flying off while going 110 on the highway

Probably beacuse your Decepticon Bagde wasn't an official Decep badge. REAL Decepticon badges are too tough for anything the Earrth can throw at it

Venting about this one,
I work part time because of studying as I have a hectic study schedule. So I work for Big W online, does any one realsie what abuse we cop from people over the phone? Seriously all those who complained about big w screwing up their christmas orders are wrong! This is what happened.

*snip*

Thanks that felt better.

Just out of curiosity, for clarification's sake, your company doesn't handle the stock procurement for Big W does it?

I have to agree with this. I wouldn't say that it's so much about ethnicity and more about the social circles that these people are from.

I believe that the source of the problem has nothing to do with ethnicity, race or religion but rather the 'type' of people that is being allowed into the country.

People who lack manners and social respect.

I completely agree as really, whether one is Middle Eastern, African, South American, Asian, North American or European - The teenage social issues in this country is purely down to specific people of authority in their lives removing the concept of responsibility for their actions, as those specific people themselves are having their hands tied by the ridiculous dictations of lobby groups and gutless law makers; leading to a completely non-developed understanding or sense of respect for anyone apart from themselves or their immediate group by these kids.

One's descent doesn't matter, if you're not correctly informed consistently from a young age with the correct set of values and manners then this sort of anti-social behaviour will only flourish - You don't have to go far for evidence of this at all.

You should take down those number plates dude as, at least in the state of NSW, that sort of reduced speed is a chargeable offence being deemed hazardous or negligent driving because they could just as easily cause an accident as someone speeding.

Waits for Griffin to re enter thread with a coke & popcorn.........

You can't blame him though, as he's said; these sorts of topics have a very quick tendency of spiralling and it's very hard to climb out of the maelstrom.
Hence why I mention Anubis as my own beliefs on a certain topic would be guaranteed to offend a sizeable number of other members, who I know to hold differing beliefs, but I've no intention of offending them as they've been nothing but great towards me.

This anecdote sounds oddly fictitious. Like something Alan Jones would make up to sell a product or his point of view.

How that bloke still has a career is beyond me; friends in powerful places and pandering to the close minded seems to work well for him but it really does reflect more poorly on the public who tune in to his diatribe, that being said though, I don't believe Jazzy is convoluting like the aforementioned drip as I too have heard a couple of similar stories from both a bank teller and a pair of Emergency Service personnel.

yeah i dislike that whole covering your entire body except your eyes thing.

As a security issue I completely agree, religious customs should not be given precedence over rational law; besides, the open faced hedjab is far and away the better option as it is conforming in a security sense, better functioning (I'd imagine) and a billion times more socially acceptable on a mass level.
(To quote Spock Prime: "The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few" )

I know this is completely against the reasoning for the covering in the first place , but I think that the open faced Hedjab serves as an excellent facial frame due to it drawing one's eyes immediately to their face; coupled with that way some Middle Eastern women wear their eye liner, they can be quite complimentary really.

So true but I guess here we are facing a problem no one knows really how to solve it. Too many elements are involved in drawing up an immigration policy and sometimes it seems like whatever it is it's not right. For example on one hand you have people campaigning for the government to allow refugees into the country -- out of humanity obviously, which is one of the many virtues Australia has and most other countries in this world are lack of; but on the other hand allowing in refugees will cause what kind of social problems we don't know, by doing that what cost will the society as a whole end up paying, are we really achieving greater equality or on the contrary, simply making the society even more unfair but under a glorious excuse.

One of those things that always seem like there's no good solution, and that we'll probably only get to see the right answer after making innumerous mistakes.

Beautifully put Arcee ; I agree, Immigration would easily be one of the single most daunting and impossible portfolios for any politician in any country to tackle but especially our own when we are trying to juggle the most culturally and nationality diverse country's on the planet.

Very true. The only type of discussion here on race etc should be how superior the Decepticons are.

This bloke has been campaigning that issue for years!




The movement even bares his face!

Hehehe... Seems the shell-program is working quite effectively!

I'm sorry dude but I had to giggle a little at that, as it would seem that...

I am sorry but what do you mean by procurement? Do you mean what happens to stock once it is LIT or what?

[Hursticon]

I am sorry but what do you mean by procurement? Do you mean what happens to stock once it is LIT or what?

I mean if Big W advertises/sells something, it is they who are the ones who have to order it from from the manufacturer/warehouse in order to fulfil the demand for supply and ship/post it isn't it?, Not your company? - I apologise for any confusion dude.

My understanding is that you guys merely handle the website side of things (Website construction/maintenance, customer details, payment gateway etc.) and that stock procurement and shipping/posting is handled internally by Big W yeah? - i.e. Your company is contracted by Big W/Woolworths?

[jazzy_josh]

That's basically it except bigw does have a warehouse for a lot of items but there are a few which does no come from us those items are ordered through us as a middleman, for example during the Xmas time there was at one point where a cubby house from action. This cubby house many were ordered and they cost $1000 each! The customers who ordered them some were getting the correct ones some how ever were getting a different one that was at the value of $1200 and then they were complaining so becaus they got the wrong item and had stupidly already put the damn thing up they were told to keep the item and then got a further $1000 refund and to top it off action never weathered the cubby houses so yet again we had to refund them, some customers ended up walking away with over triple the amount of what they made. But yet they still complain
