Trev Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 when your a scrooge like me and don't buy smart phones they do... wgmg/wmmh: when my phone randomly starts working properly after posting here... Or when the line of work you are in makes a touch phone useless as your hands are always dirty. I got sick of breaking phones, my latest is a $30 Telstra T100, it rings and stuff. Quote
ke70dave Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) i just watched that ACA story online. i wasnt aware that those exhaust silencer things were illegal. I'snt the brand "varex" very popular? plenty of legit fines there though, which i don't care about. just the presentation of that story was purely moronic. el-o-el at the blue subaru evolution.

irokin Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 i wasnt aware that those exhaust silencer things were illegal. Is that the one you plug into the cannons? Quote
ke70dave Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) i dunno... in the video the cop had his torch up the exhaust pipe, and it looked like a butterfly was just isnide the exhaust. clicky Edited January 24, 2012 by ke70dave Quote
irokin Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 I could understand the cannon ones, I've personally witnessed them firing out of the exhaust. But a butterfly? Please. Quote

Spencer[RL] Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Was watching the news last night " A study has shown if you fly the Aus flag off your car you are more likely to be a racist " ...... :bash: I FUKNING HATE THE MEDIA! Quote

I'snt the brand "varex" very popular? Maybe someone should tell Holden/HSV that the exhaust on their higher end v8 commodores is illegal then. Was watching the news last night " A study has shown if you fly the Aus flag off your car you are more likely to be a racist " ...... :bash: I FUKNING HATE THE MEDIA! Phuckin wogs, go home, be it either Melbourne or Sydney. :poke: :lol: /jk Quote
ke70dave Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) http://www.news.com.au/national/racism-links-to-aussie-car-flags/comments-e6frfkvr-1226251913064 have a read of this. heres the facts from the article: **location: Australia day fireworks, a fairly patriotic event, which would attract a certain type of person. **total sample size, 513 people **102 people were flying flags **42% of them (ie ~43 people) "agreed with the statement that the now-abandoned “White Australia Policy” had “saved Australia from many problems experienced by other countries”" 43 people!!!! And that is apparently enough to jump to the conclusion that racism is linked to flying a flag AND made it to the front page of the news.com.au website. what an utter load of absolute rubbish. Who is paying for these surveys and reports? perhaps they need schooling in statistics if they think 43 people out of 102 in a biased environment is enough to make a conclusion. ALSO, it sais 'they agreed with the statement', so they didnt make the statement them selves. The statement was constructed to be biased and people were asked to say yes or no. What rubbish.

Here's a link to the original press release that the media rip their stories off: http://www.news.uwa.edu.au/201201234297/research/study-shows-racist-views-link-car-flags As usual the media brush over the details and run with it. Also not convinced the sample size is large enough and I suspect that the sample location is biasing the results somewhat. I'm wondering if choosing to fly flags on your car says more about the persons decision making process. I mean, what do they expect those flags to look like at 100km/h? Or the gumby in the Cruiser yesterday that passed me at 120kmph with the flags a complete blur. Then I pissed myself laughing when one of them flew off. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 That's what annoys me, people who don't take them off and then they end up all over the roads. Patriotism at its finest. Quote
