Where do you get all that from a lame Simpsons quote?

I did not know it was a Simpsons quote – I thought brownstreak was paraphrasing my whine. Clearly my education has been lacking. I specialised in Futurama, not the Simpsons.
“We will raise your planet’s temperature by one million degrees a day, for five days…”

It was indeed a lame Simpson’s quote. I even used quotation marks.

Really.

So, you’re saying that Canberrans should rely on vigilante protection/justice in areas with a high resident:douche ratio? ….

Sorry to be a twat, but I think you mean a high douche:resident ratio…..

“Can’t someone else do it?”

So, you’re saying that Canberrans should rely on vigilante protection/justice in areas with a high resident:douche ratio? And you’re saying that in order for me to feel happy with the community’s level of safety from scum, that I should don the garb of some superhero and start cracking skulls? And also, that in order to protect 18yo girls walking home in the evening from criminals, that I should become a criminal myself?

Really brownstreak? Really?!?

Aside from the ever-present need for costumed vigilateism in our fair city (which I support wholeheartedly), I would be more concerned with the surely upcoming box-cutter law reform’s.

It is just a matter of time before laws are scrutinised or tightened. It makes ot harder for someone who wants to go cut boxes to go about their own business cutting boxes.

While injuries can vary in seriousness, you can walk into any emergency department and see the results of these devices going off in someones hands, usually someone elses kids hands to be more precise. Could your child be next?

I believe that any form of Box-cutting or Utility knife buy back will only drive the trade in these sharp, convenient, implements underground and into the hands of Children, OMG’s, more children and Terrorists………sneaky, budget savvy terrorists. Late last year, Customs said that 1100 box cutters were detected in 2012 and intercepted as result of ‘intelligence-led approach to targeting people and goods arriving into Australia.’

I think that a better way to deal with the problem is to attack the issue at the source……….A man whom I believe is called Stanley…….

Think of the children ppl.

Don’t laws against carrying knives already exist, or is that only in NSW?

I doubt that requirement/legislations would cover “box cutters” due to their utility and extensive application in normal business (tho in the park at night, highly debatable); probably why the descriptive term had changes from “Stanley Knife” to “Box Cutter”.

Reminds me of a scene from the movie Football Factory. ‘You flash Braddon bastards, you know stanley?’

“…these human-sized butt-plugs?

As Director of the Association of Australian Butt-plug Manufacturers I protest at this slur against the highly internationally-regarded products manufactured by my members. This at a time when our venerable Australian industry is under threat from cheap overseas and Internet-sourced products of demonstrably inferior quality.

If, however, the courts wished to issue work orders to the people to whom you refer, we do have openings for testers of our new Jumbo and Jupiter lines, particularly in the light of suggestions that our hand-sanded Pine and Tasmanian Oak products may be causing splinters.

Haig Parks very own Kick ass.
