Who is this steve101 bloke?
A refugee from reality perhaps?
Wake up mate
If you place the bar too high no one will attempt to jump it.
If you set it too low only the rats will get under it.
Society, as we knew it, is collapsing.
Just as the economic bubble in Australia will burst.
Its inevitable.
Just go with the flow man and try to keep your head down.

Below is about democracy.

The bible reads, God said to Noah, build an ark. Place two of each earthly creatures on the ark, plus Noah and Noah's family.
Because humans have sinned, quoting a few sins, God's going to drown all the remaining humans and earthly creatures. That's Apocalyptic.

At the end of Noah's Ark story, God says to Noah, “that won't happen again”. That's reassuring. God says, “go forth and multiply”.
God says, humans can have herbs without needing to pay tribute, yet, from time to time a tribute needs to be paid. I assume, god wants periodic “human sacrifices”.

Young children under emotional endorphin self-programming, trying to medicate boredom, spaced out on self-induced endorphins, on hearing wonderful bible stories, feel pleasure of easily understanding Noah's Ark story.
Children up to when children pass into adulthood, to eventually dying. Humans feel pleasure of childhood stimulated endorphins on understanding perceived simple bible stories, feeling morphine on hearing bible stories exampling Noah's Ark. Morphine is addictive, too much stimulation, leading to morphine withdrawal.

As children... the negative meaning of the death of earth's remaining creatures and human inhabitants is ignored. Noah's Ark examples problems when stressing young minds towards chemical self-medication, emotional need to except, to feel good about what other people believe. Sunday school, Sunday church, parents seen bad mouthing non-believers, becoming part of group thought, a need to follow what other people believe.

To see group leaders as a positive influence. To be felt as a leader of a group, to attempt to self-promote up a leadership ladder. Being seen by a group as being extreme, performing ceremonies, increasing prayer times.

What allows emotional belief in something exampling bible religion. The bible promotes “thou shall not kill”, and many other do not do rules. What thinking people would believe is obvious for societies to run smoothly, not to be arrested, emotional decision making people are guided by fear of falling out of group thought.

Criminal gang members are trying to fit into a criminal group by being tough, stealing, trying to compete with other group members for acceptance.

I typed this reading to be more about the U.S.A. than Australia.

Thanks to religious ministers Sunday preaching, church organisations have many people who strongly feel the world is full of sinners. That the bible and god have all the answers.

People in government positions of authority, who have raised their status as a leader within church congregations, see how some people attending church, donate money to the church.

When positions of influence within government bureaucracies become vacant, church going people who donate money to the church are nominated to fill vacant positions. With increased wages, increased amounts of money are donated to the church.
First there is one person, then two people, soon with two people influencing government, two becomes four people.

Towns with organised church goers, support political candidates who attend local churches. Locally elected politicians hire incompetent thinking church goers into high paying positions.

Organisations become bigger by being more politically influential, living on tax and rate payers money. The more people involved, the more every person protects each other from indecision and exposed mistakes.

When a Liberal party faction says they're Catholics, democracy can end up over time with a bunch of emotional decision makers who are allowing increasing religious studying into schools, under pressure from leaders of church organisations, allowing church leaders to feel influential.

It is difficult to know how politicians think, whether rational or emotional, when staged spontaneous interviews are being managed by spin doctors using rehearsed lines for every question.
I also suggest, politicians performances are catering to emotional decision makers.

I am preaching, if readers really want to be wise thinkers, understanding how people think and or how people feel they can think, is an optimal source of knowledge.

Small correction: Bob Katter appeared on Channel 9 Saturday morning program, not Friday morning ABC as previously posted, had mentioned.

Yep rational faith can be difficult Steve until you read your ranting and raving on par with other God denier's. Certainly U must be blinded to the rotten fruit produced by the idiotic faith of evolution used to deaden people's conscience to every despicable action. Oh that's right you would have no moral base to draw from as a god denier.

May 24, 2016. ABC1 television “7.30” program, 7 minutes entitled “CALL TO ACTION”, “Suicide in Australia”, in smaller print below, 'Selected Australian electorates'.

ABC 7.30 host says. “The prime minister says, he'll leave no stone unturned trying to improve the mental heath of Australians”... “every M.P. and senator are being asked to sign a pledge to do all they can in the next parliament to stop Australia from rising rate of suicide... it is now more than double the annual road toll. A group of mental health experts and families of those you have taken their own lives, launched a campaign to highlight the inadequacies of a system they say is failing to address a national emergency”.

The following scene has Malcolm Turnbull making assurances during a campaign speech.

twitter @SabraLane, narrator says “campaigners are saying”, “Millions of dollars are spent on prevention policies that aren't working”

twitter @SabraLane, narrator says, “the numbers are staggering, between 8 and 10 Australians die every day at their own hand... it's estimated 180 Australian try, nearly half of them end up in hospital”, “in the 10 years to 2014 there was a 22% increase in the suicide rate, and that's despite more money being spent on preventative measures.”

5 minutes into the 7.30 report.
National Mental Health Commissioner: Professor Ian Hickie says, “we have seen this in North America and Europe, where they have failed to respond to what was happening in manufacturing and in other areas. We have seen suicide rates go up, particularly in men who have had limited high school education who work in the trades, who lose their jobs or they lose their wife, or under financial pressure, suicide rates go through the roof”.

My opinion is: What's happening is, concerned campaigners are being fogged off with a bunch of statistics. Allowing listeners to believe they have collected statistics so they must be doing something. The campaigners will go home dazzled by statistics and I assume, many assurances, government is doing their best.

Be aware, boring one off example stories may punish readers prolonged curiosity.

My strongly believed opinion is: schools, in away from cities, working class; farm working areas receive the same curriculum as city dwellers, in order to traumatise children thinking processes.
Parents, who are traumatised by their own education, parents allow their children to be out of control, endorphins self-inducing self-medicating, more visual responders than academically minded, before children first attend school.
Sending aged 5 to 6 years children to school who cannot: read; write; do maths, have teachers bullying out of control bored children sitting in classrooms for many hours a day, 5 days a week, for many months at a time, for many years. Children held in classroom, consistently doing simple pen pushing tasks, cannot mature thinking processes while bored out of the brains, writing letters and numbers.
Advanced maths; history; science school curriculum will not aid everyday thinking processes.
Working class are being held as working class, by gradually increasing mental stress school work as children age. Mental stress becoming almost unbearable through high school, intentionally punishing thinking and learning processes.
Many working class have: poor basic communication skills; can't spell a significant amount of words correctly; limited to reading news print, hurrying reading with limited understanding comprehending because news is often simple murder stories and political embarrassing nothing stories.
Learning, remembering is made difficult while human brains are feeling mentally stressed, deliberately sabotaging child-curiosity learning behaviours.

Education departments are intentionally traumatising children. Teenage students suffering from mental depression, are keeping other than school knowledge simple and enjoying medicating fun distractions, keeping themselves dumb, in order to manage mental stress, focusing learning attention onto passing school examinations.
