Tool Safety

You can be 17 and join the millitary and die for your country, but you gotta be 18 to vote and 21 to drink. I would have to call that some real BS.

Me too.  Ya should be able to die for your country at age 16, or 15 with yer parents permission, and they ought to raise the voting age to 21, where it belongs.  To think that children are mature and experienced enought to be able to choose their own leaders is absurd. 

Anyway, wars are not won by dieing for your country.  Wars are won by making the other poor bastard die for his country.
 
sir yes sir.

its now what your country can do for you, its what your country can get away with, without telling you.
and what unconstitutional activities your leader can take part in, and call you unpatriotic for catching him.

+1 on safety. I have seen way too many gross safety violations from various remodeling companies here, which is really nothing more than your average weekend warrior who wanted to make money at this. They are VERY unprofessional, they bring table saw on site which is really nothing more than a desk with an upside down Skil saw bolted under it. It had NO guard, the guy using it isn't wearing safety glasses, and worst of all, his back is facing the street with many cars and pedestrians walking by! I am afraid to go near one of these to be honest because I know table saws can throw pieces of wood hard enough to cause significant injury. That's not to mention other things that can go wrong with table saw and it makes me wonder why don't they get a proper table saw (you can get one for as much as a good Skil saw and you can bolt that to a larger table if you need the extra space) considering they are doing this to make money...

The general attitudes amongst tradesmen in Taiwan seems to be "cha bu duo" (it means screw it in chinese... basically they just don't care about doing it right) which is why I rather do all the work myself than to let anyone else here do it for me.
 
come to australia where u can drink, drive, vote, go to war and most importanlty buy porn all at age 18. Its great because you can go to a bar for the first time, then drive home drunk for te first time. But seriously be safe ;)
 
Now that's my idea of a foreign vacation!  Who wants to go to Europe when there is more Australia than you can explore in a lifetime!  Of course, I wouldn't mind going to London to see Abbey Road, but that's all... oh, and maybe drink a beer or two in a real pub, but they have those in Australia too :)
