According to this the reason it seems to undulate and move around is because of eddies and currents caused by the submarine that is filming it.

I personally have no problem with GM crops.

I do have a problem with corporations holding patents on GM crops and using their immense power to destroy local farming.

Greens are made up of different sorts of people. Older Greens - those from about 20 years ago or so - are more likely to be anti-nuclear, pro-hippy and anti-capitalist and are probably members of Greenpeace. Younger Greens are more likely to support nuclear power and be more influenced by science (especially in regards to global warming) and also be less concerned with socialist policies.

I assume because between then and now his video got removed/banned.

The issue is not whether the video got shown by Leno, the issue is that NBC asserted copyright control over it afterwards and were able to remove it from youtube.

Every few months I discover something new about Reddit. Today I discovered the SRS people.

Crab fishermen?

Those guys are heroes.

Well you're obviously not looking hard enough. Advertise a higher pay rate or else walk down to Centrelink and offer some guy the position who isn't qualified but has experience.

$150,000 to be a FIFO truck driver is nonsense.

Not as nonsensical as $150 million every few months for being a CEO

Not really. Chances are they'll end up spending their time on conservative news sites and anti-global warming websites.

In Australia, the giant spiders are also giant spiders.

I've got the south in my veins

But California in my mouth

And that's the simple reason

Why I'm leaving the south

Me and this girl and she's so foxy

And we're heading to San Bernardino...

I'm an Australian. I live in Australia. We don't notice New Zealanders at all. In fact, what am I doing here?

Our nation is Christian because our laws are based on the moral code of the Bible—the Ten Commandments.

Okay, I'm a Christian, and Fred doesn't know what he's talking about here.

Of the Ten Commandments, which ones are actually codified in Australian law?

You shall have no other gods before me - since when has Australia ever legislated against people who don't believe in the Christian deity?
No graven images - nope, no law against that.
Do not take the Lord's name in vain - I suppose there were blasphemy laws at one point but they are actually different. No laws against anyone poking fun at Christianity that I know of.
Remember the Sabbath Day - Sunday trading has been around for a long time. Moreover even when businesses were closed on a Sunday it wasn't exactly criminal law. And even more - when did the police ever arrest someone for doing "work" on a Sunday (eg mending their house, cooking dinner, etc)
Honour your father and mother - nope, no law against hating your parents.
You shall not kill - Yes. That one is there.
You shall not commit adultery - I can't remember a time when adultery laws were around. Certainly as far back as the sixties there was societal pressures against being promiscuous but no laws afaik.
You shall not steal - Yes. That's two.
You shall not bear false witness - Yes, that's three. The Bible here is not so much talking about lying but about perjury, and that is certainly illegal.
You shall not covet - laws against greed? Where?

So that's 3/10 of the commandments that Australia has codified in law. Hardly what you'd assume to be a "Christian nation"

You want more? As much as I embrace much of what could be classed as leftist policy, and despite opposing Australia's involvement in the invasion of Iraq, I believe that Australia's public finances were well managed by John Howard and Peter Costello.

True. However the question is whether the collapse will be sudden or whether it will take time.

A sudden collapse of population would lead to a worse outcome. If the collapse took, say, 20-30 years, there would probably be time for essential production to be more localised.
