This is Part 3 of this thread.

It is continued from Part 2:

===================

So many things.

First one that springs to mind:

Why don't we engineer, build and suspend large water catchments over the wettest spots on Earth, thereby eliminating what's going to become a global crisis?

Same reason why we don't desalinate the water from the oceans I'd guess...

Why some people get the shits if someone wears a band t-shirt at that same bands gig...

Who are these people? That's perfectly normal. I don't get people who wear team jerseys to games their club isn't playing in. Like a person wearing a Freo jersey to a West Coast vs Port Adelaide game.

I only managed about three paragraphs of each article, sounds like it was written by a 16 year old dude who went to a gig with a girl he was crushing on and she left with another guy wearing that bands shirt. Here's a commandment they missed, go to enjoy the music, not to judge others. You'll have more fun that way.

 

[Cruyff14]

There ain't nothing better than being at a live show.

 

[Marmozet]

If you possess a band t-shirt then what more ideal place to wear it than that bands gig?

Whoever these people are (if they actually exist), their opinions are highly irrelevant and they're the ones with real issues if they're seriously that offended by such a thing.

I'd guess that they're the type of person that loves a band they heard on community radio (the only radio station they will listen to) and the second they get more well known ditches them because too many people know them now.

That is the first time I have ever heard of that.

I thought it was just a joke when I first heard of it and saw those articles, but apparently not.

Using solar and tide powered energy to capture and divert water in the wettest spots on earth is different to desal.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Back in my gig going days I tended to wear a different band's t-shirt to each gig. Didn't make much sense then, makes less sense now.

Yep great place to live

Well planned, safe, friendly and welcoming locals, affordable (relativer to Syd/Melb), great sporting facilities, great place place to raise a family, close to the beach and the snow , no traffic jams, lots of green space and heaps of cultural stuff.

Only downside is winter , gets mega cold.

Close to the beach?

I lived in Canberra for three years; considering 90% of Australia's population lives within 50kms of the coastline 'close to the beach' (unless you call Kambah pools a beach) is the last description I'd use for Canberra.

90 minutes away is closish. i dont think of Kambah pool as a beach.

Only a short 30 hour walk to Batemans Bay

90 minutes isn't close! 10 minutes is close.

 

[AceAndy]

90 minutes isn't close! 10 minutes is close.

Closish

 

[Mofra]

Closish

All my former lovers have been closish to orgasm.

So they can leech off taxpayers, waste money and make it appear like most of them aren't featherbedding bureaucrats.

Who does this? It's definitely more edgy if you have another more obscure band's t-shirt on but surely no one would crack it?

Oh and try wearing a Metallica t-shirt at a Megadeth gig, i've done this and got hassled a bit ha ha
