Extra Small Condoms: Buying a condom just got harder

I’m a guy and when it comes to buying condoms, unless I walk into a store with a hot girl on my arm things are usually a bit awkward.
Sure I might be exaggerating the situation in my head but I’ve never felt comfortable going out and buying a box of condoms on my own. Part [...]

Kids aren’t kids anymore, time to get over it.

Scenario 1: Jack goes rabbit shooting before school, pulls into school parking lot with rifle in gun rack.
1959 – Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack’s rifle, goes to his car and gets his rifle & chats with Jack about guns.
2009 – School goes into lock down, Star Force called, Jack hauled off to jail [...]

Hey parents, damnit start beating your kids already.

When I was little I was smacked when I crossed the line. Over time I learnt what that line was avoided it.
The theory behind the smack is relatively simple yet somehow it’s metamorphed into this sticky debate over child abuse, children’s rights and the softly softly approach.
One academic (who probably doesn’t have kids) even came [...]

Jai Morcom's death the result of of litigious parents

When I was in high school back in the 90’s the biggest confrontation I remember witnessing was between the largest guy in our class and a temp teacher.
It was rollcall first thing in the morning and the temp, a big man himself, was near the blackboard at the front of the class and most of [...]

If you signed up to wireless internet in Australia and had kids you’d be stupid.
If you signed up to wireless internet in Australia and had kids who had their own laptops you’d be pretty stupid.
If you signed up [...]

NZ Nightmares: Selling naked photos of your mum online

One of the worst experiences of my life was a few years back when my mum’s then artist boyfriend decided to host an exhibition of his work. Primarily the works that featured my mother, naked.
When I heard the news I had one of those classic ‘face in the palm of your hand’  moments and all [...]

Mother of eight let off for abandoning kids for two weeks

I’m starting to think you could get by writing just about the mental illness defense in the Australian court system and devote an entire site to it.
The latest example of leniency in our courts was granted to an unnamed mother (to protect the children of course) from Katoomba in the Blue Mountains of NSW. She [...]

Females who have group sex need to take responsibility

I thought as a society Australia had sunk pretty low with the vindictive nature of the ‘morning after rape‘. The morning after rape however is pretty straight forward, you get drunk, find a guy, have sex, wake up the next morning and scream about how he forced you into bed and raped you.
The group sex [...]

Look after your children. Or else.

Sayings like “what you reap is what you sow” and “what goes around comes around” have been with us for a very, very long time. On any given day I’d normally rubbish you and point to the fact that such sayings were coined to simply make losers feel better about themselves.
And I’d be right.
Rather then [...]
