Proposal: Compulsory DNA testing for all male refugees.

I propose that all male refugees from northern African countries and war-torn Islamic states have a simple, compulsory  DNA test before applications for refugee status and residency in countries sympathetic to the plight of refugees. Saliva samples can be taken in an ethical and dignified manner. This be a way of approaching the horror of sex attacks and rape that some nations have had to deal with recently.

Bush Fire Alert: Cooloongup (Rockingham)

A bush fire has been burning in Cooloongup since 16:30 this afternoon. Fire crews and water-bombers (a chopper and the yellow water bomber plane) did multiple water drops for over 2 hours. There were signs of the fire easing but black smoke is now coming from the fire, which is visible from the Village at Wellard and Leda. Kerosine Lane was closed to traffic earlier. Areas bordered between Rockingham shopping centre and Mandurah Road and Ennis Road need to be vigilant while homes (and wildlife) near Leda Reserve are in close proximity. Rockingham hospital and Ennis Avenue have been affected by smoke.

Sexism in the virtual world.

Well, when I was ejected twice from two virtual nightclubs in Second life, and my digital avatar was propelled into the barren space of the universe, it was because my nipples were showing. After two hours in a sandbox trying to unpack my garments, I was allowed half a digital dance. I had been subjected to advertising from the 'Rapemaster' as well a graphic image from a pornographic site but I was ejected because my nipples were showing. Everything was covered; I was very polite, and I even avoided the particularly rude, sexist comments from male avatars making notecards calling out things like "Boobies!" . I was there to dance. I have been exploring auditory and visual landscapes. I have been doing back-flips in zero gravity and eating free chips. Yes...I got free chips. My modest, lace-covered nipples, however have disgraced me. Yet...Sodom and Gamor  saturates the adult site. It is not real. This is virtuality. My little avatar can handle it. I've got friends at 'Wild Angels' in Second life. Keep your hands off.
