Quoting 'Single_Guy4U' Given up 3-months now. Just having a couple of drinks and reading forums and felt like a smoke. Did not, but feel like I would enjoy one. (not going to) Is it normal to keep thinking a smoke would be nice, or does it go away after awhile ? a lot less frequent...BUTIt's now just gone 25 years since I quit a 20 year habit and I still get the urge to have one. I even have dreams about lighting up, it's not going to happen.I have known 2 people start smoking again as terminal cancer patients.

Lost my urge to have a cigarette after three months or so, but even after 15 years of not smoking I still go through phases of dreaming I've started again. I'm always so relieved when I wake up! Good luck, Singly_guy.

Part of an article in the SMH: "Three months ago, a 14-year-old girl wrote to NSW government, weeks after the suicide death of her mother, and asked them to "educate children about domestic violence and how to seek help". Today, her wish comes true as a raft of major changes are announced to the 7-10 school syllabus that will specifically focus on domestic violence prevention. Rachel's powerful letter said that if domestic violence had been addressed in her class, she would have recognised that what was happening inside her own home was not normal and helped "save" her mum. Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Pru Goward revealed it was those words – and Rachel's extraordinary bravery in speaking out – that ultimately triggered the reforms, adding: "Through this update to the syllabus, schools can provide a significant platform for helping young people to identify, report and protect themselves and others from abuse." Rachel herself, confessed to feeling "shocked" after news filtered through from the NSW government on Thursday." (Just saw this story on the news. The girl's name is Josie, it was changed for the article.)

The fruits of their labour are really starting to pay off. In addition to the 4 week old infant that died from whooping cough here in Australia earlier this year, in the last couple of weeks we've had the first death of a child from diptheria in Spain for 28 years, and the first death from measles in the U.S. for over a decade. I have also learned that Jim Carrey (along with quite a few other celebrities) is a strident anti-vaxxer. I never particularly liked him, now I like him even less (which is to say, not at all).

the woman who died from measles was vaccinated herself, but her immune system was compromised due to medications she was taking. It appears that she caught the virus from someone at a health clinic she visited and due to her compromised immune state she couldn't fight it off. So this is why people who do not vaccinate are a societal risk, and why I am all for legislation such as that just introduced in California. You want the benefits of society and public facilities, then you have certain obligations to that society. You choose not to meet those obligations, fine but you forgo certain privileges.

Luck_Dragon - I wonder how many who support vaccination legislation would be happy to be legislated to do something that would have a much bigger impact on public health - eg, food, tobacco, alcohol, guns etc. They'd call it a Nanny State and rip their hair out, and storm the streets. Needle all children - oh that's fine. I'm not an anti-vaxxer - Just occasionally like to look at public health figures.

For me the difference is that things like food and alcohol don't physically harm others. Smoking does, which is why you can hardly light a ciggie anywhere these days. If people choose to not protect themselves or their kids against illnesses then they can do so. However, putting other people at risk of sickness and potentially death is a very different matter in my view.

Needle all children - oh that's fine. I'm not an anti-vaxxer - Just occasionally like to look at public health figures. in Australia we already do have a lot of legislation / regulations around those other things you mention, to varying degrees. I can't speak for others but I personally don't have an issue with that and although there are some that are obviously opposed, I haven't seen anyone storming the streets. With regards to food it's a bit more complicated, and whilst I don't agree with legislating what people can and can't eat, I do think there should be much stricter regulation around food labeling and advertising. As Meander pointed out, not vaccinating also has significant implications not just for the non-vaccinators but also for every infant and immuno-compromised person who relies on herd immunity to protect them. If someone close to me died from a completely preventable disease due to other people's continued belief in quackery and ridiculous conspiracy theories despite the mountains of evidence to the contrary, I can't even imagine how angry I would be. It's quite ironic...people living in poorer countries are desperate to obtain vaccinations and they will sometimes walk for days to get them when they are available. They must look at us and think we are crazy, voluntarily forgoing something that is highly successful in preventing the diseases that still kill and disable thousands of people in their countries. Talk about issues of privilege. Let's hope it doesn't take a return to 19th century infant mortality rates and wards full of children disfigured from polio for the anti-vaxxers to start realising why taking the very small risk of complications from vaccinating was the much better option. Interesting choice of language there too....''needle all children''. Not a benign phrase by any means...

However, putting other people at risk of sickness and potentially death is a very different matter in my view. Alcohol does harm others via violence, and accident. Its toll on society is far worse than smoking. Where do we stop protecting people from the harmful effects of other people life styles. Cars and transportation are a leading cause of wide variety of respiratory disease for people in urban environments, we do not consider limiting transport only for essential needs. Should we ban all recreational activities that add risk to others, for careful analysis can show that just to be is in its self a danger to others. We should promote freedoms, not limit freedoms.

Step Up 3 on tv. I used to watch every season of SYTYCD, went to a few of the SYTYCD live shows. I'm reminded of the first time I saw Step Up Revolution on the plane, though, when I realized I was watching dancing like I watch porn - fast forward through the plot, then stop and watch the action.

To me, it's a matter of balancing individual freedoms vs restrictions on those freedoms that add to the public good. Too far in either of those directions is not conducive to the welfare of a society as a whole...and like it or not we all live in a collective society, the functioning of which very much depends on how ALL members of that society behave. For sure, if you can manage to take yourself completely off the grid and become totally self-sufficient then you can have all the individual freedom you want and do whatever the hell you want. But let's face it, most of us want the benefits that living in a society brings - the education, the health care, the goods and services - and that means also accepting some restrictions on what you do, unless of course you're fan of mass anarchy. I would encourage you to google ''the conversation is the nanny state so bad?'' and read the article. Despite all the rhetoric about people being the best judges of what is best for them / their children, the fact is that humans are notoriously bad at being rational and making decisions that will support their well-being in the long term. This has partly led to the recognition that some government interference is to our benefit. I think another fundamental issue to consider in government regulation is whether that particular regulation is backed by sufficient and sound evidence that the trade off being made will result in legitimate public benefits. Now, I am not a fan (to put it mildly) of our current government and in my opinion many of their actions are examples of putting in place restrictions that are not backed by any sound evidence, and are instead part of a wider political and ideological agenda. However, when it comes to vaccinations there is extensive evidence going back many years backing their efficacy, safety and the benefits they bring to society (please note that when I say 'safety' I don't mean 0 risk, because nothing has 0 risk).

Oh ... I think you're assuming we are on opposite sides of some imagined fence. I very much doubt that. I just read an article about the measles case, in amongst information that gave it a much broader perspective, at the time. So my comment was not suggesting vaccinations aren't important, but rather giving the figure some perspective ... A mentioned a case of death by measles in America needs to be factored into the 2.5million who died there last year, and just for example; there were 10,000 American children who were killed or maimed by firearms. I think many American's storm the streets about guns and complain about Nanny State restrictions.

You stated that you aren't an ant-vaxxer, I saw that. I just thought the use of deliberately emotive and provocative language was interesting. I'm also perfectly aware that many, many more people die from other causes (in rich western countries anyway, it's a different matter for the poorer ones). But...you do know why that is, yes? It's largely because of vaccinations. And if vaccination rates continue to decline then the mortality stats are going to start reflecting that again.

This in lays the problem. Government reacts to popular opinion which seldom coincides with the evidence. Lobby groups spend big on presenting their side of arguments, their motivations are seldom transparent, and truth seldom a priority. The smoking debate (which I do not want to get into) is heavily politicized with both sides of the debate blinded to the actual evidence. Laws are created not on evidence but on were opinion garners votes. Because of this we should err on the side of freedom. I find it ridiculous that on a street corner I can not smoke while 3 dozen cars sit spewing out 1000's of litters of exhaust every minute, filled with a dangerous mix of particles and noxious gasses. These types of situations makes a mockery of the law. We should trust government to act on behalf of the good of the people, when we see such double standards it reduces our trust in the system. The consequence is of course less adherence to law and the general attitude that it is only a crime if you are caught, reducing the effectiveness of all laws and the protection they offer the people.

The gun issue in America is a whole other kettle of fish, largely due to their particular history and their Constitution (which also affects many Americans' attitudes towards government in general). There is a lot of evidence that shows that the more guns there are in a population the more gun deaths there are, but you just have to look at history to see how entrenched the attachment to guns is in America, no matter what happens. Many people thought that Sandy Hook and the deaths of 20 children would finally be the turning point for the U.S. government to at least implement mandatory background checks on people purchasing firearms, but nope, even just that small measure couldn't get through.

I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane once, quite happy just free falling and this voice from the airplane started calling out "PULL THE RIP CORD" I said "NO, I'M OK THANKS" So impatient, called out again "PULL THE RIP CORD" The jerk kept at it and at it and got quite rude by saying "PULL THE FUCKING RIP CORD" I politely kept my cool and called "PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE, I CAN JUMP FROM HERE"

Second question is (1st actually, as I did not ask one before) "why did you jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane"

A good cautionary tale for all of the pitfalls before we turn into statistics.

It is heartbreaking to see the impact of the Greek Austerity measures and bank closures on the people on the streets in Greece. Countless sad stories of pensioners not having access to their pensions in the banks that have closed recently. In a glimmer of hope, and kudos to man's resilience and resourcefulness, those in the Greek countryside have gone back to the land and have been more reliant in raising cattle and planting vegetables to survive. Peopke who left for the city decades ago and lost their jobs and earning capacity, have gone back to their country hometown and are starting to rely on the land that their elderly parents still live in. Living simple sustainable lifestyle to ride out this crisis. I wonder what will happen to those who do not havea choice. And will there be an exodus to the land and sea to survive, and leave the big cities at another crisis in real estate terms? At the very least, the crisis will see an interesting change in the Greek society in every way. A must see for me. a paradign shift is happening before us. What lessons do we take from this?

I would be interested in the fundamental attitude shifts in ebb of trust/ lost of confidence in the establishment (political economic etc). Changes in the markets in Greece and it s neighbours will see a big ripple and domino effect far reaching beyond the European Economy will keeps everybody on the Edge. It goes without saying. then people forget after a massive History repeats itself. I remember working for a big 4 Aus bank who has expanded and invested heavily in buying UK banks at the height of extravagant 80s. When the 90s financial crisis happened, there were similar scenarios played and lost of confidence. same stories, different faces, similar scenarios. Heartbreaking. a massive exercise in PR to win back the trust of people was in place for many years, appealing to the man on the street, not the corporate market. It is all about manipulating perception and we fall inthe same trap. This happens all so often if we look back. in cycles. I just think that the human faces in the financial crisis get forgotten.

@Lilyorchid Things such as the crisis in Greece just show to me how much power the banks & the cartels who run them have. It's truly frightening. Look what what's been suggested in (I think) the Netherlands where they are proposing a 100% cashless society. Banks can shut you down with the flick of a switch. No money. No car. No house...and governments relying on central banks means this kind of thing will happen time & time again. The Federal Reserve in the USA is privately owned. Imagine.

If the banks had the control then there would be no crisis. Banks are rather good at handling money but the are hamstrung when governments misrepresent the capacity to repay debt and the total debt owed. Which is the case for Greece. There is also a lot of responsibility for this in the people. The push to prosperity drove up wages and excessive growth produced an atmosphere inducive to high personal debt (the 3rd highest in the world) which is in part responsible for the current situation of homelessness. Countries should be run like business. Business expansion is risky and should be done slowly or backed with liquid assets. Greece failed to back its lending for growth and is thus in the situation it is now. It is not the banks that bear the blame, it is government corruption, personal greed, and unrealistic optimism that has lead this country to the current situation.

Quoting 'lilyorchid' What are you thinking? Chastise the horrible actions and attitude of spoilt sportspeople, not condemn their race? You are too old to get involved with bovine scatology like what you just uttered. You should know better. tsk, tsk. 'Go back where you came from'? I wonder if you said the same thing when Leyton Hewitt and Pat Cash misbehaved? Hmmm. Let me do a quick research... Ahhhh. Google says no. her comment isn't that surprising when you consider that she supported Pauline Hanson and One Nation back in the late '90s. Personally I have no idea why she is considered such a 'legend' in Australia. This country is far too obsessed with putting sporting personalities up on pedestals and calling them heroes. There are so many other people much more deserving of adulation and being role models, yet they are almost completely ignored.

First her defending her comments and now saying sorry "unreservedly", but that she really didn't mean it like that... "My intended message, which was not delivered as articulately as it could have been, was on a purely sporting level rather than meant as an attack on Nick's ethnicity," she said according to The SMH. Pffft.

Lol there is a 3 day festival for swingers at Gloucestershire. Three days of live music, hot tubs and a sauna, chill pool, workshops, live shows and stalls selling adult toys, clothing, body sculpting and painting. Better go next year, sounds ridiculous.

Famous as a sports person. As usual, we promote people because of achievements up to public pedestal. Then shock horror when they make inappropriate statements. Famous for a sport does not make an allround statesperson . I think we expect too much of people. God, can you imagine the uproar if i got a few quotes off in the media. Just lucky im not a famous sportsperson......

Quoting 'Meowcolm_X' Quoting 'Blindman67' Quoting 'musodevil'If the banks had the control then there would be no crisis. Banks are rather good at handling money Howwwwww can you think that lol. One word, Iceland. bah, I'm done. Banks do not control their own share price which lost 70%. The króna was the most over valued of the worlds currencies and most of the banks investment was in the form of overseas funds. When the currency bubble burst the banks took a double hit and could not cover their debt. Public banks can not control the currency and have limited control over stock value. Iceland's government in an effort to combat inflation at the time had set high interest rates, further encouraging foreign money into Iceland's banks. Oddly the government controlled central bank was printing money compounding inflation pressure and overseas loans. The collapse was unavoidable and not the responsibility of the banks, though there was some insider trading and self funding share purchasing, this accounts for less than 2% of the losses. Banks make money via investing, it is the backbone of the capitalistic system. This unfortunately leaves them in a position of vulnerability. Iceland's government should have limited injection of cash into the economy, this would have meant depression but would have saved the banks. But who votes for economic depression. Blame the people.

Quoting 'musodevil' @Lilyorchid Things such as the crisis in Greece just show to me how much power the banks & the cartels who run them have. It's truly frightening. Look what what's been suggested in (I think) the Netherlands where they are proposing a 100% cashless society. Banks can shut you down with the flick of a switch. No money. No car. No house...and governments relying on central banks means this kind of thing will happen time & time again. The Federal Reserve in the USA is privately owned. Imagine. It is true that stock in the federal reserve bank is held by private banks however this stock is not able to be sold/traded and dividends are limited, by law, to 6% per year which is considered compensation for the opportunity cost of the cash reserves these member banks are required to hold within the Fed. So these banks do not own the (entire) profit of the Fed, they can not sell their interest in it and their "ownership" is dependent apon them holding cash reserves aside (as opposed to a 1 time payment), this situation does not meet most definitions of ownership. For sure, the fractional reserve banking system is a scam, as the Greeks are currently learning the hard way, but the US Federal Reserve being privately owned is not central to this and is not really accurate to state it as simply as "The Federal Reserve in the USA is privalely owned"
