I'm curious. Why the hell is there a movie out about the birth of Jesus? We Christians and all those other serious denominations of the Catholic church have already suffered as much as Jesus did because of hearing about the freaking birth of Jesus every single Christmas when we get forced by our parents or religious significant other to go to church and sit through that whole story about Mary and Joseph looking for a place to give birth to their magical ninja child and they found a barn because there was no room at the hotel. Sure, they could of tried the hospital but they didn't want to pay the bill.
We've heard this story over and over again every year at school. What was even worse was that we had to watch it played out by a whole lot of year 1 kids that are clearly poorly schooled in drama, but that's ok I guess, all of that is free. Now we are given an option to pay to watch a poor reenactment of the birth of Jesus, which we have heard and seen so many times before? I don't think so, Tim. I'll just stick to having to hear about it for free at church.
Oh yeah and lol @ the idiot protestors who tried to fill up the MCG on November 15 with people protesting about the Industrial Relations laws. They only managed about 120,000 when they were aiming for half a million. You know why they fell so short of the amount of people they were expecting? It must have something to do with everyone else having jobs! Despite the hype, these new laws have somehow improved Australia's employment figures dramatically, or so Kevin Andrews states: "We have seen 1.7 million extra jobs created in Australia, more than a 14% increase in real wages. Part of the reason for that is because of the reforms that we made in 1996.". So stop complaining!

Thanks for holding the fort Challi. I'd be interested in seeing some citation for that last comment, but that's by the bye.

How about the fact that I'm always right?
Ok, that's the best citing I'm going to do. Sure it's from the kind of guy who'd say that anyway, but it is apparently a statistic.
I didn't think you'd actually try and find any citation, so kudos, but... that quote says: "...because of the reforms that we made in 1996." So it's not actually referring to the new IR laws, which were passed in 2005.
Forget it. All I wanted in the first place was to distance myself from your opinion, since we all know how much I loathe the government.
Yeah I know, you're such a rebel. There was actually an article but it got deleted off the newspaper's site.
Man, we're such slackers
sifnt reply to my email?
