Gary said he could get me a porpoise.

Yeah I fell for that one too.
Come into the garage its in there. Oh better take shirt off and rub oil on you to protect yourself from porpoise spray. And drink this.
The rest is hazey

I


I'm astounded. If you aren't taking the piss, then I'm totally gobsmacked at your naievitie.

I'm definitely not naive.

You haven't offered anything convincing that would make me think that quality of life in Australia is declining.

Why would I trust your uninformed opinion over research conducted by experts?

Porpoise Spit.

So just on the quality of life thing.

A few people have identified some challenges associated with living in the modern world. Those points are well made.

However, the boffins who research this shit have come up with a more sophisticated empirical approach for determining overall quality of life. They are saying it has improved and I have no reason to think they are making it up.

It is no different to some muppet thinking they are more informed than BA. You aren't, so shut the f**k up and enjoy your improved quality of life.

Gary what do you consider quality of life? A nice car, big house and Tv. Going out for dinner and having a drink? Sitting on the beach sipping a cocktail whilst slowing getting fat, only to go on a diet and have all your friends say how great your looking?

Its just the foolishness of life

 

[strider]

No way man. Now we have to much information our minds are muddled up with bullshit. And everything we do that is bad for us we know about so comes with a thought.

How good was it growing up as a kid being fed fish fingers and red cordial without feeling guilty about it.Or smoking when you where 13 just to be cool

Smartest post of the year ... except the 13yr ciggies bit

It may surprise you to learn that this is a highly researched area that goes beyond your 'possessions are bad', Fight Club-esque gibbering...

How much of that is simply a greater understanding of mental illness, though?

Shit, most baby boomers still think depression can be cured by just cheering up....

Suicide rates would suggest people struggle more now

 

[strider]

Is suicide up? I honestly dont know but if is then that is probably the answer.

Ohhhh ... great minds .... hmmm hang on

Just joking ... i think i think alot like young hindy111 many times

I'd be happy living in a caravan on acreage just outside of Bowral where I could tend to my crops and sip herbal tea.

I'm not sure about that, tbh...I mean, I think there is definitely some truth to it, but I think there are a lot more factors than just "more mental illness".....

Well it makes sense. Marine Biologists have by far the greatest quality of life....

Doc: Strider, you have torn your meniscus.

Strider: Bullshit, you two-bit hack what would you know.

Answer the question though. What do you consider quality of life?
I am not having a dig or go at anyone. I am slightly envious at times. I see friends so excited about their new granite bench top, a new fence in the backyard, 65inch flat screen tv, In Avengers case a new Watch or Stevies a new car. And they are estatic too show you what their hard work has acheived.So much joy in there eyes.
Id get just as much excitement chewing on a piece of grass tbh.And thats not taking the piss

Im not specifically saying its a mental illness thing, just that quality of life measures need to take a hit when so many people fell things are that bad

Ahhhhh, so YOU were my doctor ... how else would you know that happened

If you are asking about the things that make me happy:

Family
My Dog
Golf
Nice beer

The rest is just bullshit. On that I agree, Hindy.

But that's not what 'quality of life' refers to...

 

[Gary Gutful]

How many Dr Gutful's do you think there are?

 

[Dibs]

Hahaha, the Rebels just had a penalty straight in front, down 25-22, two minutes after the siren. A goal draws, and a draw sees them stay on top of the Aussie conference...they have a big group chat, choose a scrum (against basically a Test pack), their scrum gets destroyed, they knock on, Jaguares win.

I love seeing Melbourne lose even in a lesser sport tbh

F*ck me that’s an eels play. Dumb!!!
