This* What people fail to realise is that Ebola is not very contagious. It has a high mortality rate which makes it scary as but as far as contagious goes it has nothing on influenza or many other viral infections.

This,

Ebola is only transmissible by direct blood contact. Even kissing is not a guaranteed transmission vector (but likely as Ebola is a haemorrhagic fever, which means they'll likely be bleeding inside the mouth as the infection progresses).

Not all Thai food is spicy but very few dishes are bland and tasteless. If you've ever been to Thailand and tasted proper Thai food you'd quickly have learned that the muck that gets passed off at Thai food in western countries is nothing like the real thing. Much like proper Chinese food, it's westernised and made bland. Often in Australia Thai restaurants aren't even run by Thais.

The best way is to ask in Thai, "Phet" means spicy, "Phet mak" is very spicy and "Phet mak mak" is very very spicy. For those of you with weak stomachs "Mai Phet" is not spicy.

A quick note on the Thai language, it's a tonal language so you might want to hear how they're spoken before practising yourself.

Whcih is a sad indictment of Australia because instead of putting Labor back in office, they picked the worse alternative.

Since Abbott got into power the economy has nosedived and unemployment is rising. If he keeps going, everyday costs will skyrocket as well. Labor wasn't perfect by a long shot, but the mob we have now makes them look like they were. Sad to say, the only thing preventing this is Palmer United (and lets face it, Clive's there to look after Clive and only Clive).

On their own, the Libs didn't have enough votes to get in, if the preference deals were favouring Labor, they would have gotten in with the Greens.

Because eventually they run out of mod points, dickhead. Looks like that's happened.

The attempts to censor my posts are terrible. I've got plenty of Karma to burn, how many mod points have you got left? I pointed out that the AFP (Australian Federal Police) did exactly what they were meant to do, at first glance they dont know whether the guy was an idiot or a meth addict. They didn't know he'd just gotten off a flight. All they saw was a guy walking the wrong way through the doors. They caught up with the guy, questioned him and let him go because he wasn't malicious, just a complete tool (like the people modding this down). It's a shame stupidity isn't painful. It would stop people walking the wrong way though security doors and bad moderation.

Touche.

But in our defence, only 32% of people voted for the Libs, the remaining 13% was made up of the various national parties. The 5% that got them over the post were due to dodgy preference deals.

No, Ipadguy was a complete idiot.

Walking into the wrong bookshop instead of the cafe you were going to is a mistake. Walking into a clearly marked security zone when every other single person was walking the other way and being completely oblivious to this is retarded. the Ipad didn't accidentally fall into his hand, he's old enough to know to look where he is going. There's nothing accidental about this, he was deliberately not looking where he was going.

The AFP did their job.

Ipadguy fucked up, badly. Everyone who had their time wasted and flight delayed on that day can only blame the Ipadguy for not paying attention to what he was doing. Why does he deserve forgiveness when he deliberately caused his and hundreds of other people problems?

Who modded this Troll? I pointed out that Ipad man did something incredibly and all the AFP did was the job they're meant to do.

The guy was released without charge, although I reiterate it's a shame stupidity like this isn't painful.

The two articles have nothing to do with Murdoch or Newscorp.

The first is published by CNet which is owned by CBS (American) and the second is the Sydney Morning Herald, which is Fairfax.

You dont know your arse from your elbow.

Not quite everyone.

Many other commonwealth countries have reciprocal agreements with health care. A Canadian in Australia would be covered under our Medicare system as much as an Australian in Canada would under your system...

That being said, neither Australians nor Canadians need to travel overseas to get essential medical services.

So why does the US have such a woeful health care system?

It makes the NIH in the UK look like the paragon of efficiency.

It seems the problem isn't funding but Americans. It would be a good idea if you could paid Canada to run the whole system for you.

Nope, the full extent of the dumbarsery is entirely on number 1.

He was walking in the opposite direction to everyone else and in order for the doors at to be open somoene had to be walking the right way (at an airport, this would likely be dozens of other people). If he didn't notice this, he is the idiot.

The AFP (Australian Federal Police) who secure our airports cant take chances. They cant tell whether dumb Ipad man is just Dumb Ipad man or Disgruntled Steve who wants to beat up Bill in the airside cafe until they talk to him. Now the AFP did just that and released the man without charge (they could have charged him, but under the circumstances they chose not to), so good on them for that but it is a real shame that this kind of idiocy isn't a crime... or painful.

Most Aussie airports use automatic sliding doors so the disabled can use the same exit without having someone there all day to assist them. They only have sensors on one side so they will only open for people airside but this means someone can walk in against the flow of traffic... but you've got to be a complete idiot not to notice you're going in the wrong direction to everyone else (we assume most people aren't complete morons in Australia).

He did cause the delay.

What this moron did was leave the secure area (he was disembarking) and then walk back through. Its not like the secure area exit isn't extremely, mind-blowingly obvious. The AFP (Australian Federal Police) didn't know if this guy was a complete tool or a malicious agent, but they cant take chances. Fortunately it turned out he was a complete idiot but this all could have been avoided if he had of been doing something as silly as paying attention to what he was doing. I mean what kind of imbecile tries to walk back through a security gate?

Security in Australia isn't as bad as the USA (yet), in fact it's quite efficient in comparison but if you ignore them they will come down on you like a ton of bricks.
