How the hell do you figure they're endangered? They breed like rabbits. They're everywhere where I live.

Yes hi, this is the first guest. Would just like to direct your attention to this verse: "For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a Law unto themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts ultimately accusing and defending them.' (Romans 2: 14-15). In short, the Law = Bible, the Gentiles = people who have not heard the Bible. Which means people who instinctively behave in the way that the Bible teaches, even if they have not heard of the Bible, can be redeemed. It'd be pretty silly if people couldn't enter heaven just because they were born into a remote area or at an era where not everyone knew of God. That would be a contradiction of God's unending love for ALL humanity.
So, as you can see, my previous comment is therefore, not a lie, as it is backed up by the Bible.

Where's the article?

Agreed! The reason why kids disturb people isn't because of parents letting them be loud, it's because they're not able to sit still like that for long time. People need to accept that if they have young kids, they just can't do things they used to until they grow up enough.

My part of Aus we call 'em catais (sounds like cat eyes)

The dog is aggressive because the owners abuse it? Calling bulldust on this. Certain dog breeds are genetically predisposed to being aggressive. Sure, that doesn't mean every single dog of that breed is going to be aggressive, but if they get the right genes then they will be harder to train, and more likely to be dangerous. Saying that 'no dog is dangerous just cause' is a blanket statement just like 'every dog of that breed is dangerous'. Get your research straight.

And Irish convicts sent by the British! That's my heritage anyway.

They used to be put in cages for 'entertainment', cages that were hardly big enough for them to walk around in, and were basically just a concrete floor with iron bars all around. Nowadays, animals are in specially designed enclosures, filled with entertainment for the animals themselves, and they have enough space to feel comfortable and behave as naturally as possible. Yes captivity is not ideal, but the positives far outweigh the negatives. Zoo animals are educating people about their wild counterparts, raising money for their wild counterparts' habitats, and also providing a way for their species to not become extinct.

Pretty sure it's by Jacksfilms, not sure of the actual link, but he has a couple of these.

It says 'didjabringabeeralong' (Did you bring a beer along). It's a quote used a lot in Australia, because it sounds like an Aboriginal place name (lots of places like Quorrobolong, Geelong etc), but is just a joke really. You find it on a lot of plaques to hang up in pubs or house bars and that.

Phonetics, my friend. You're forgetting about phonetics. Looking at different letters and how they sound is good, no matter what the subject matter is. Animals can also be a very engaging subject to many children, which will engage them in their studies a lot more easily.

Not sure where shadowstorm197 has done their research, but I'm almost certain you've looked at murder/suicide rates both related and non-related to firearms. Just as a comparison, firearm-related deaths per 100,000 residents in Australia (my country, where guns are allowed for recreational purposes and on farms, and certainly aren't a household object) in 2010 was 1.06. In America it was 10.3 per 100,000. More to the point, on our news, every single day there seems to be another mass-shooting of innocents. That's not to mention all the people that are innocent that are killed singularly. Do some research. It could, literally, save lives.

Getting downvoted for speaking the ugly truth... Funsubstance is a true democracy :)

And you too :)

Thankyou, exactly what I was going to write. It's not an issue of 'love yourself for what is inside', it's 'you are not healthy' ha.

I know what you mean, I don't fancy the idea of getting old either, but to wish for an opportunity to die young probably isn't the best, and my point is that to hope that he is a man that wanted to die young just seems a bit unfair. If you're hoping to die in a heroic way, you're hoping for a tragedy. I might not fancy the idea of growing old, but I hope I live a long life, and I hope you and everyone else does too, free from terror and murder and attacks like the one that this man prevented.

I hope he wasn't one that feared old age. I think that'd take away from his sacrifice. He probably wanted to experience a great many things, he probably wanted to travel, to learn, to laugh that little bit longer, but instead he threw that all away to ensure that others have the chance to grow old. Don't fear old age, it is a gift in itself.

Oh come on, how racist can you get. You can't tell me it's only ever been 'white' people who have taken over another plot of land as their own. I seem to recall a lot of other countries, with no white people, have had wars and taken over because they saw fit to do so.
