A grain of truth...

Ever watch an anime and see a character get slashed/shot/exploded/magic'd/burned/dismembered/outright killed, and then two days (in-anime) later, they're all better and fighting like made with nary a bruise or limp, but they're always wearing bandages?


Anyway, I've got some bad eczema on my forearms for no apparent reason. Nothing helps, all the hormonal creams i get prescribed do nothing to my eczema and bad things to my waistline. Today, in a fit of contrary humour, I bandaged them up.

8 hours later, I take the bandages off because I'm bored of them. The eczema has been reduced by approximately 30%.

Ummm... What?

So there you go, next time someone puts a bullet/sword/lightning through your scrotum, bandage it up and off you go, you'll be fine tomorrow.

...AND IT'S ALL WORTH IT WHEN I LOOK AT THE MONEY!!!

As you can see, that's what I've been doing (as well as everyone who works in retail) for the past month.

Merry Christmas from Alice on Antifuck! The rest of the contributors can make their own Christmas post. Sharing is for the kind hearted and poser celebrities!

Best. Game. Ever.

Spin the bottle.

Hax0ring your mother's gibson since %your.age + 0.75 years ago

I provided for myself conclusive evidence last night that I am a pessimist.

Was at a club in the city last night (said city being Adelaide, Australia for you imaginary new readers we like to think we get every now and then), and my mind wandered as it is wont to do. Being a stomping ground for young peacocks showing off their tailfeathers to the black widows, the surroundings prompted my thoughts to turn to old flames. My best friend being plastered to her new boyfriend on the couch next to me probably didn't help either.

At one point or another, we all do this. We take the likeliest unlikely place to meet an old flame and mentally create an encounter with them. Depending on how you and your ex parted ways, the likely outcomes of these imagined encounters are:

1) You hook up again
2) You shoot them in the face with arrows until it stops being funny (dying of old age about halfway through)
3) You have no old flames so stop daydreaming and start flirting. Have you even hit puberty yet?

My mind has a tendancy to run rampant, bouncing through tangents faster than a hadron collider invalidating a newfag's argument. You'll see evidence of this in my comics as soon as exams are over and I start clogging the tubes with them.

Closer to the point (HIGH SCORE!), in my mental encounter which was originally going to go down the road of #1 (sounds like my ex and I go to the toilet together, doesn't it? Bon apetit, mes amis.) however it didn't quite turn out that way - as unexpected to myself as anyone else.

What actually happened is that my big-mouthed best friend, whom I love dearly but sometimes wish I could garrotte with my mind, screwed it up for me. Yes, in an entirely imaginary encounter, someone actually screws it up and I don't live happily ever after. In my own mind. This struck me as immensely funny and I cracked up laughing which, after sitting pensively for a while, was apparently quite disconcerting. Two minutes later, my best friend's boyfriend (of about 3 days now) asks me a very specific question on a matter that I don't wish to talk about right now and asked my best friend not to air about to every person she meets.

Huzzah. I was terribly impressed. At least my mental impersonation of my best friend was accurate.

Ok, hassling the reader time. Yes, you, put your pants back on and pay attention. You have a task to perform.

ITT: Best friends you just wanna kill sometimes. kgo.

How far a man is willing to go

Oh my god..... i thought there would be limits to how far a man is willing to go to get some, but obviously i was wrong. read the link below and not only wil you vomit, loose weight and your eyes may bleed but be warned hahah some men have no standards

A snippet from my Kitsch Music essay...

"Thus, in regards to Benjamin’s argument, the classical music’s quality, value and unique existence has found itself eradicated and replaced with nine-four-eight-one-double-one-double-one; Pizza Hut Delivery!"

I actually wrote that in my essay.

No joke. I am serious.

I made this Post longer than usual because I lack the time to make it short.

What do people truly want.... i have thought of this concept more than once over the past few events... and i think, to be blunt, it is bullshit. You see, it's what we truly want and love that influences the world around us, whether we admit it or not. For example we often say we just want to be happy, when what we mean is we want a fuck load of money.... We say we want spiritual enlightenment and a higher sense of understanding when really we want are the easy answers... We say that we want love, affection and companionship but what we really want is sex... We want to be accepted for who we really are when really you wish you looked better, slimmer or to be firmer.


As for myself, what do i truly want, I want space and time from people.... translation... Seriously not in the mood t listen to other peoples problems when i have too many myself.

But ask yourself sometime before claiming to be righteous about your ambitions, justifications upon your actions, step back - remove yourself from the discourse and actually ask yourself for once in your life... "why am i doing this and what am i really asking/wanting"

GO GO GO OBAMA OBAMA

Oh yes!

I forgot to mention.

OBAMA WON!

But we all know that already, I thought it should be posted on Antifuck for the sake of following everyone else.

Now go download the ringtone:

Hibernating, but not dead

Hi fellow readers,

Just to let you know Antifuck is only 'dead' due to final exams for the year. As you know, all Antifuck contributors are university students who have confidence issues, yet are ego-centric and believe their opinion counts and would be heard if they posted on a blog that no-one reads.

Other than that, I don't know how many times I wanted to yell "DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A MARKETPLACE?" to every customer who tries to bargain with me for a discount.

Really, does a high-end department store look like a marketplace to you?

"NON-NEGOTIABLE, BITCH!"

Ahh...if only. :(

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President. The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.”

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was. The rancher said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle.”

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. “You know she didn’t get up there by herself, she doesn’t belong up there, she doesn’t know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.”


Also, http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/politicalinsider/2008/09/obama-vs-palin.html

This is a placeholder post so Alice will stop nailing me about Antifuck. I've got exams from the 20th - 27th of November. I'm writing two novels and am about to start an online comic (registering a comicgenesis page as we speak).

More news as it develops +/- bothering time



Obscu

Carbon Dioxide is my favourite Contributor

Blogspot is so strange in allowing me to vote more than once.

I know because I am the only one who votes for Carbon Dioxide.

I mean...Carbon Dioxide is a BIG contributor!

/end Greenwashing moment.

Retailosophy

It's really amazing how a customer can be so persistent in insisting there is more stock - even though you have told them three times all stock is out and you personally know because you were the one who took it all out!

Why can't they be this persistent in things that matter like hard work, health, saving money, family and friends, and running non-profit human rights campaigns!!!

Customers can really put or bring perspective about human behaviour and 'humans' in general.

Retail should have its own philosophy

...I'm calling it Retailosophy. :)

the currency of my life...

Hey all...

In an pre-emptive strike before Alice decides to grill me online, here is the update on the Mina Chronicles...

After getting into a verbal fight with a Macquarie Security Guard because he wouldn't let me into E7A to hand in an essay, I went in from E7B and walked across from the overpass...

Aside from this, I have been writing about Palaeontological issues such as ammonite scars, Cybersex, Pornography and Art from an Anthropological sense as well as Archaeological practise and history.

I have also come up with my yearly cycle of development based on the months.

Observe closely:

January: January can be quite irritating, as I tend to realise that I will have to forget how to write the year before in my dates, and write the current year in pretty fast before I cause administrative problems at work

February: This one is probably one of my favourite months; the weather cools off but there is still nice days of heat. It is the shortest month too, and as such goes by without me noticing.

March: Representing the beginning of the Uni semester, March bears a feeling which is synonymous with a dual edged sword- it allows for a new start in the academic year but also spells 8 months of doom.

April: April can often drag on at times, the day:night ratio begins to turn towards a longer night and it also coincides with

May: May marks the very end of Autumn and as such I begin to dread the eminent Winter. Not very Merry at all...

June: End of Financial year, tax returns and department store bargains- people are unbelievably strange during this month as they all turn into 'Christmas-in-June' followers with huge amounts spent.

July: Making my life quite difficult by this stage, Winter and July go hand in hand when they want to destroy every shred of warmth I may have amassed after 2 hours of being under 3 quilts.

August: Though you will see why I cant stand Decemeber, August is the month I despise most. The chill really becomes pathetic, just overall nasty and generally unwanted.

September: This month has generally been the one I seem to find alot of social functions occuring in. This may be due to the fact that it marks the beginning of Spring or the realisation that alot of people were conceived amongst Christmas cheer and as such are born in the 9th Month.

October: Bears a very special place in my heart because as I love the number eight- not for any particular religious or cultural reason but rather the number itself is quite pretty; too bad October is the 10th Month.

November: I personally hail from the month of November; born in the Northern Hemisphere however, this month can irritate me due to its excessive pollen levels in the Southern Hemisphere coinciding with Spring.

December: December is probably the one I can least stand; it has a pandemonium of expenditure and pathetic long weekend fines and demerit point sanctions placed in it. The weather becomes quite hot and it also reminds me of all the things I didnt do that year.

For those who didn't notice...

There is a new poll added on Antifuck and so far me and Obscu are tied...

As for the rest of you, the reasons you have zeros are because you are slack! SLACK!

...and I will finally one day watch Alien (1979)! Yes, I know I am missing out! Please stop rubbing it in! :(

Also a random shout out to our fellow readers for being so awesome. This time a special dedication to Iasonas for singing Aladdin with me! All we need is a magic flying carpet and we're set!

Anyway dear readers, you guys rock! It should be the readers winning the poll.

Actually, let's make it no matter what the final scores are, if you're a reader you automatically win.

Feel antifucking special! ;)

Damn kids growing up so fast!

At some point during your life, you would have accused a younger person, as in the generation below, from growing up too fast.

This is no surprise since the average age for first-time-sex has dropped, eight year olds are using and owning mobile phones, ten year olds know how to access youtube and newgrounds, and there are now lingerie being designed to target pre-teens.

Back in my days...sex is a shush-shush topic, I didn't receive my first mobile phone until I was 16 (and didn't really use it until 18), it was only when I was 12/13 I figured out how to used a computer properly, and avoided lingerie and bras like a plague! (This is coming back to the sex is a shush-shush topic).

Kids these days are growing up too damn fast...

In reality, they're not growing up any faster, the 'growing pace' hasn't changed much at all. Believe it or not, I say their pace is no different to our growing pace and the generations before.

The speed of growth isn't changing, it's the culture and environment that is.

Back in my times mobile phones weren't as easily accessible as compared to now. You can get a new phone and a new number within a day compared to waiting for weeks.

Much like the mobile phone, computer and internet access is faster and easier (without the nasty beeeeep connection noises) and you don't necessarily need a computer get the internet. I am talking about library computers, and internet cafes for those who don't follow.

As for sex...from the influence of the Sexual Revolution, contraception and the fear of HIV and AIDS, information about sex has become more open and accessible compared to many years ago. The topic of sex has become less shush-shush (though to an extent it still is). People are more open in talking about it, sex education is taught in schools, information about sex (whether it's contraceptives or STDs) is more available, and condom vending machines can be found in bathrooms, or handed out like lollies during orientations.

Even though one can argue about the increase of teenage sex and pregnancy, but hasn't that trend been the same for every passing generation?

Children aren't growing up any faster, they are just living in a different world - a world which us, and our past generations, worked hard to create.

This post was inspired by the fact this is my birthday month...and I don't want to grow up!!!

A wise man never said anything remotely resembling...

-Cap'n, sir. The kitchen is on fire. Again.
-Aye, first mate. Duly noted.
-Arrr... I feel pretty.
-Also duly noted.

Disney and their lies....

well for those who are reading this and haven't watched a Disney movie in their life time i have one thing to say to you.... you have had a seriously deprived childhood.

Now for the rest of us who have... think back to the times when you watched the perfect relationship form through all doubts regardless and over coming all forms of obstacles.... i have one thing to say to you Disney.... you gave all of us false hope. I swear if i tried to ride a white horse to a girl i liked i think she would call the police.....

Disney has given us false hope in relationships.... where the hell is our happy ending? i guess it is somewhere between the heartbreak, drugs, false pregnancy and lies......

A good example of this is Pocahontas, you do know the real story is about a 14 year old girl leaving her culture behind to live with a 32 year old European guy.... Disney has lied to us, i want my childhood back and where the hell is neverland!

The plot thickens

I was eating a "Ned Kelly" today. It's one of those fake pies that contains gruel which may have a small percentage of animal protein. By accident. It's a fake pie, that' s the way they're meant to be. This particular specimen had "beef", "bacon" and "egg" in it.

I take a bite. What I see therein when I remove the pie from my face will both impress and insult me like never before.

Egg.

Yes, egg.

Yellow egg.

Real egg.

What the hell is real egg doing in my fake pie?!

The perfect lyric...

These lyrics are dedicated to all those who have loved and been left high and dry...


You are the road beneath my wings...
For I am the roadkill; the result of your love...


*sigh*...that is all...

Alea iacta est

And now for something totally in no way different to my usual feverish drivel.

Yesterday I had a discussion with someone on their action plan in case of zombie apocalypse. It was quite well thought out. We then discussed possible adaptations in case of velociraptor attack. Versatile tactics are always important when dealing with both zombies and velociraptors. Tomorrow I think we should discuss what we would do if faced by zombies and velociraptors simultaneously (and they didn't just try to eat each other instead of us).

SO! Readers! I charge you to share in comments your action plans for zombies and/or velociraptors, that we my pool our collective knowledge and form a viable battle strategy for the cominc apocalypse.

Due to the very many different types of zombies in current zombie culture, I will stipulate that these are your slow, shambling breed of zombie. Limited intelligence (that means that they can't operate tanks and helicopters, k?).

If I deem your posts worthy, I will contribute the action plan we formulated to the collective in a few days. I'll probably do it even if your posts suck because if you haven't got a functional zombie/velociraptor plan by now then you're totally boned without my input. Srsly. I'm doing you a favour. Remember me when your brains are NOT being consumed by the walking dead or the running extinct.

Obscu's Thought of the Day

Attention, I have discovered the meaning of life.

It is a top hat balanced on a car spring made by communists.


That is all.

Happy (belated) 3 month anniversary!

I realised Antifuck has been up and running for over 3 months now...and we have missed the celebration mark!

So, in a belated celebration with Antifuck's more-so belated anniversary, I am dedicating this post to Longines.

This isn't because she/he boosted my ego, Longines has proved to us, at least to me, there are people out there who do read and enjoy Antifuck. She/he showed me Antifuck is worth continuing.

In another dedication, I would like to dedicate this 3 month anniversary to all the readers out there. This time, I would like the readers to be the contributors in which I would like to ask:

Dear Reader, what does 'Antifuck' mean to you?

Whatever it means, however you define it, it's up to you! Thank you very much for making Antifuck possible and ALIVE!

Also a random congratulations to Jade for making the best label post ever! You can never go wrong with Mr Darcy ;). And a random 'boo' to Dean for never proof reading his posts...but we still love you! :)

In conclusion, Rick Astley Live!



To all contributors, we should be try to be more innovative and make Antifuck more interactive.

And to the readers, thank you so much again!

Now antifuck off! ;)

For the love of Krishna...

Why does Mac have to be so retarded?

I mean seriously...

I walked into the Student Finance Office and asked about the $500 contribution I could make towards my HECS; to which I was surprisingly informed that it would have been accepted prior to 1st August.

I then inquired as to why it couldn't be accepted now- the answer being that I would incur a $200 'late fee' which in turn made it evidently clear that it was not worth the effort in being an honest student.

Aside from this is the incomprihensible idea that census date is 31st August...how does that make any sense?

This is me :-)

Hello gentle bloggers,

For my first post I will tell you a little about myself, but have no fear-I will not subject you to page-long descriptions that you won't be interested in. No personals. In a blog nutshell: sometimes I am convinced I should have lived in the 19th century. The first reason is simple: I am crappy when it comes to computers/technology stuff-iPhone-wa?!!? The second reason is this: I am the only 20 year-old girl I know with a Mr Darcy obsession. Sad, you may think? Well, apart from the whole lack of female rights thing (which convinces me that I really would be happier right here in 2008), I think Austen's time would have been pretty darn cool. Who could resist an arrogant, wealthy man in a top hat, seriously??

Any thoughts?

Perhaps you can convince me that men of today are much better? Or perhaps there are also some of you out there who wished they were Elizabeth Bennett when they read the words: "You must allow me to tell you how much I ardently admire and love you!". I mean, guys just don't speak like that nowadays :-p

I'm sure I will get used to this whole 'blog' thing over time...It is a big step for me contributing to Antif*ck, lol. So, thanks guys. Maybe you'll bring the latent blogger out of me?

Anyway, I'll keep it short and sweet for now.
Cheers for reading,
JT

Dear World, Antifuck readers, Alice and the strange smelling man who wants to buy my car...


by the way, I have been using Vitamin E on my hands since I was 15 Alice...wink wink nudge nudge...etc etc


Anywho, it has come to my attention that we are closely bordering the final days of holidays!!...

And let me say forthright, loud and clearly that I am severely excited to return to 'yoo-knee'. Not because of the extensive mongoloid tribes who call North Ryde and surrounding suburbs home, but more because of the fact that I'm so bored I could practically throw my left arm off.

To update you all on my epiphanies over the last month;


1...When most of your friends have a partner they either become boring, useless, pathetic or a mixed bag of the aforementioned undesirable features.

2...The Co-Op concept is flawed due to the fact that I can purchase all of the printed books for less than 50% of member price...like wtf charles...

3...Cheques take an extraordinarily long time to process. Is it just me or do government agencies relish drawing out very simple processes.

ie: one would assume if the number on the cheque matched the number on a withdrawn amount of money from the company which issued the document- then I could essentially draw out the cheque immediately...

4...Keeping in mind that this woman pays my salary; I still find it completely unnecessary for my employer to call me and make herself out the be the hero of a completely irrelative problem and as such making me out to be useless and senile. Stupid american- no ability for planning, minimises costs for the sake of preservation but isn't realising that this 'tight-ass' attitude reflects on the client and as such does not help at all.

If someone finds her in a drain somewhere around Yagoona station, the please call the police and don't bother to check for her pulse as she will have been dead for 72 hours...the very same amount of time it apparently takes to cash a cheque...

that is all...

ps: the lilies are growing well; thank you all for your concerted effort in not walking on the flower shoots...


mina...

A reflection on World Youth Day '08

Oh, Pope Benedict XVI! Waving to the crowd of pilgrims with a happy, holy, Sith Lord expression upon his face.

I'm sure I'm not the only geek who thought of that at some point during World Youth Day.

He's just so cute...

Dear Antifuck of July

I admit I am not setting a good example with an unfinished post. But at least the key points and body content are there, and I actually posted it as the deal goes.

Antifuck doesn't have rollovers. I don't care how long, how short, how misspelt and retarded your post it. That's the luxury of Antifuck, POST AWAY! without breaking defamation laws of course.

If you are unable to post due to problems etc, then just post saying "TBC", "On Vacation", "My fridge ran away" or something!

Please do your part and post.

Also, very rude of me for not introducing earlier - everyone meet Jade! Our most awesome female member of Antifuck! Rawwr! ;)

Global Warming.... should we care?

The threat to the environment from a range of human activites could end life as we know it.....

i know that we have all become desensitized to such remarks... maybe because the alarm bells have been sounding earlier than 1572 and we have just dulled the sounds into the background of our capitalistic life style.

Leading scientists warnings have been clear "the environment is suffering critical stress" in such areas as the atmosphere, the ocean, water resources, soil, forests, and all life forms. But hey, this process has been undertaken throughout human history that, over time, we have caused environmental disasters and unforeseen havoc to the world's ecosystem, aswell as being a threat to our own health and well-being. Some examples of such is that of Easter Island, how human tribal hunting extincted many large mammals and birds, in turn destroying the society that was founded upon Easter Island.

And this kind of damage has continued obviously to the present day, escalating in its effects. And through common sense one could even argue that humans are a plague upon the planet, however taking such a view one must possibly take the view of that the planet as being some sort of unchaging paradise, a perfect harmoniously balanced world, or that humas are somehow an unnatural addition to the world's living species.... which is obviously wrong.

Every life form, including humans, radicaly and mutually interact with the environment, creating as Rachel Carson once wrote "a fluid, ever-shifiting, constantly re-adjusting world".

Now being a spectic of global warming, one only has to take a historical approach to the worlds history to note that such events have occured in the past. One could say that history is hmm repeating itself?

Take the earliest example where mcroorganisims thrived in a world without oxygen, but to live meant producing oxygen - just as most plants do today. And like plants they pumped oxygen out, produing an environment richer in the gas and deadlier for them. If some of these organisms had not also developed the capacity to survive these risisng levels through genetic mutation, life on this planet would have died out then and there.

In other words we live on a constantly changing planet, a world where most of the species that have ever lived are now extinct, so are we going to create the sixth major global extinction ??

But hey capitalism and the market have a solution to such a problem, yes the magic of the market. It can turn water and other resource scarcity into a myth with the cling of a cash register. All you have to do is put a high enough proce on it and there will be plenty of water and resources to go around, well, atleast plent to go around to those who are able to pay for it.

So i leave this blog with a question that i am intersted in the responce, so comment away your answers.

Should we care about global warming when history has stated that such a looming doom has occured within the past ??

And if such changed are needed to prevent global warming, is it possible under capitalism?

There is such thing as Perfection.

You know the saying "nobody is perfect" and then follows on to there is "no such thing as perfect/perfection", etc...

Here on Antifuck, I am going to prove that wrong. Perfection does exist. It exist in ways you probably would have never considered.

When understanding the term perfect and perfection, we find ourselves connoting the definition with universality. Perfection is this complete and flawless state, ideal and concept that is widely agreed upon. However, we all understand that this is not true since everyone has their own notions of perfection. This then leads me to my point...

Perfection does not exist in the universal, but in the subjective. Proof of that is in our language - the cliché and everyday phrases we can find ourselves using, such as "you're in perfect health", "this is the perfect dress", "(this is) perfect!" or for the cheeky "I am perfect".

It is ourselves, our individuality, who define the state, ideal and concept of perfection and in turn create its existence.

Perfection is defined by our subjectivity. On the other hand, you can also say our subjectivity is defined by perfection.

"Practice makes perfect", "Achieving perfection", "I'm perfecting my skills", or "I'm searching for the perfect..." Proofs in our language of perfection defining our subjectivity.

We establish what we consider as the ideal outcome and strive toward it. This is why we have goals, objectives and ambitions.

INCOMPLETE POST! WILL FINISH...WHEN I CAN!

"Perfection is in the eye of the beholder", or as some others like to say it "Perfection is in the eye of the beer holder."

I Love The World, (Dean)

The world is a lovely place to be... and for those who are reading this and not picking up on the sarcastic remark just stated then please feel free t stop reading right about here....Seriously people, I am sick of everything... I’m just tired of peoples petty remarks and complaints upon... "Oh I wish I had a better job... oh I wish I was thinner.... oh my god did you hear that... what a bitch... she is so fat" SERIOUSLY people get a hint there is more then that happening in the world around you. Half of you are seriously myopic, this world is a pathetic place and the lack of interest about change disgusts me! And for those who don’t understand what I’m saying.... refer to my first post about "it" it would solve a lot of the world's issues!

How about the next time u have a bitch about not getting your way with your parents about them not paying for something or cry over what someone thinks about you think about how people else where are living like.... ever think about where the fabric of what you are wearing or eating comes from ??

The problem here is FEAR..... Fear is not the natural state of a civilised people!

The politics of fear has been made more complex by the emergence of myopic and cowardly leadership.... in developing countries and emerging economies, fear is being used to justify tougher measures against migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers, violating international standards of human rights and humane treatment....

Fear feeds discontent and leads to discrimination, racism, persecution of ethnic and religious minorities and xenophobic attacks against foreigners and foreign-born citizens. When governments turn a fucking blind eye to racist violence, it can become endemic!

Freedom of expression (don’t get me started on china here) is a fundamental tight! Where there is no dissent, the right to free speech is endangered, where there is no dissent there is no democracy.... Hell Billenson anyone ?? Art censorship!

Or how about the pernicious relationship between discrimination and dissent observed vividly in the area of gender ?? What is this stupid notion of war against terror, but where is the political will or the resources to fight sexual terror against women>>??And the basics fear of violence... where governments are failing to provide the leadership to bring accused groups to account for simple abuses, and instead appear to be feeding the very factors that foster them!

AND !!! AND!!! AND!!!! when you think you have had enough of my rant!

I HATE IT (*&^(&%(&%^(% WHEN PEOPLE SAY IT DOESNT EFFECT THEM SO THEY SHOULDNT CARE!

Hello people 1 in 3 females in Australia will be abused at least once in their life time! Is that close enough for you.... or should we wait till it happens to you.... your daughter.... your sister.... your best friend..... People who say "it doesn’t effect me" are the worst of all, because when you don’t go against something, you condone its actions and foster its continuation!

To be frank..... "Welcome to this overtly sexual, modernity, unsustainable, humble place I call my abowed I call home."

Antifuck is not dead...

Rather, Antifuck is sleeping...

All of us are University students and it is the time of the year where we are flooded with our final assessments and exams. Please excuse the lack of updates.

As Antifuck contributors, we need to at least make a post once a month. However, under pressuring circumstances this can be excused and hopefully will be made up in the next month.

No subliminal messages there...

I would also like to welcome our new member from Adelaide (the incest capital), who has volunteered to be a new contributor of Antifuck. He goes by the name of either Marat, or Obscu. Welcome!

Previously the agreement was four maximum until there is more growth in readers. But due to the imbalance of female voice in Antifuck I would like to propose one more position of contributor - a female contributor.

If you are female and interested or know of a friend who would be interested, please let us know!

The conditions are simple, must have a gmail account (to access blogspot), post at least once a month and no gossip on your personal life (please leave that in your personal blog).

However, bitching about people is allowed as long as it's within context. Baah...

The meaning of horseradish

During lunch, while I was busily debating whether the white vegetable block in front of me was a piece of potato or white radish, it occurred to me that whoever invented the name 'horseradish' for that particular vegetable...

...must be one naughty pervert.

Don't get me?

This is a horseradish root:


Courtesy of wikipedia and their article on horseradish.

For those who still don't get it because they are thick as a brick (actually I take that back because bricks are smarter than that), I suggest you consider visiting a farm for your next vacation.

Or be a freak and 4chan it.

Are you a sheep or a shearer?

I think I have found the ultimate test which will determine whether you're a sheep or a shearer.

First to clarify the details. When I say 'sheep' I am not referring to the cute, edible woollen animal that gets herded. I am talking about the blind bandwagon-ers who jump at any cause, organisation, or opinion group without understanding, researching or actually reading.

Now the shearers. When I say 'shearer', I don't mean the farmers who shave the sheep for wool. I just couldn't think of another counter-name, besides 'not-sheep', that follows the sheep theme. I also like it for the image of shearers shaving bandwagon-ers...

Let's start the test shall we?

I first got sent an invite to this Facebook group that involved banning an artist named Guillermo Vargas. According to the group:

"This so called 'artist' is currently displaying his 'work' in the form of observing a dog's starvation. This is a public event. This is a shocking act of utter abomination and any gallery that allows this work to be shown should be shut down. Please help bring awareness of this monster."

And then a link to their petition.

Here's a blogspot version of the group for those who don't have Facebook, or logging in is just too tedious.

Now, as the reader, if you want to do this test properly you should stop reading this blog and look at the page at your own ease. Continuing this blog won't tell you whether you're a sheep or a shearer.

For those who have done the above, or much rather continue without knowing your result then follow on...



Were you be outraged at such animal cruelty used in the pathetic name of art? Would you join the group, share the blog and sign the petition?

Or, would you, like me, raise an eyebrow and research?

My first thought, towards the Facebook group, was the artist wouldn't be as slack as the people in the group hyped it. Give artists some credibility here.

After much googling, the most 'objective' materials I found was one news article and a wikipedia page. Even though the wordings on the wikipedia page was slightly jumbled, and wikipedia isn't particularly reliable, the content showed the writer did put a lot of research and made references. Something that the Facebook group didn't do.

I found the whole situation ironic and agreed with many of the shearers who accused all the sheep to be hypocrites. They only jump when it's been strategically displayed (as an art, in the media etc.), yet they don't address the real problem that the display is conveying, the issue of starving stray dogs all over Costa Rica. I don't recall any of the sheep mentioning they volunteer in a community program that addresses stray dogs, such as the (R)SPCA, have/had adopted stray dogs as pets. Instead, they prefer to bellow like an empty vessel...kind of like PETA.

Although PETA are better 'cause they get naked and have vegetarian orgies in public.

In the end the Facebook group had discovered that this starving dog is possibly a hoax! A member had recently made a post of an news article stating that this art had been taken out of unnecessary proportion with much of the 'critics' missing the point.

You can tell that most of the members of the group aren't aware of the prestige that is the Biennial. I showed a fellow friend, who has studied art, the Facebook group, petition and news article. Once he saw the Biennial, he knew it was a big joke.

As you can see, background knowledge and research does help.

Now we have reached the end of this test, and this article. First a congratulations to those that came out as a shearer, good to know there are those who won't jump the fence straight away.

As for those that came out as a sheep...growing wool isn't so bad, keeps you warm for the winter. Just don't get too startled when a shearer walks in your direction with a buzzing pair of shears.

Shearers get cold too...

Emus can not walk backwards

Dear Antifuckers,

This, my break from writing a highly ambigious essay for Anthropology will be dedicated to sharing with you some utterly worthless pieces of information.

*Dolphins sleep with one eye open.

Now, I assume this is a broader step executed by our dolphin friends to further become human; as we all know dolphins are one of only 2 non-human creatures on earth who have sex for pleasure and as such keeping one eye open while sleeping must double as an ability to perv on other dolphins as well as survival etc etc.

*The giant squid has the largest eyes in the world.

Nuff said...

*Somehow, an iguana can end its own life.

My sincerest apologies to our emo colleagues, a small scaled creature who can also grow its tail back has beaten you to the goal in regards to the installation of a 'self-end' command...and it didn't even need a sharp object let alone any object at all...neat ey?

*A mule won't sink in quicksand but a donkey will.

As such, when faced with a choice between an animal that could possibly be the most stubborn of all the domesticated creatures and a similarly tempered one who is sterile-evaluate whether you shall be encountering any quicksand on your journey to work and choose wisely.

*The typical hen lays 19 dozen eggs a year.

I can now relate to my vegetarian friends who regard egg eating as murder, let's do the mathematics shall we?

Assuming the avergae caged hen on a normal egg farm is alive for 3 egg-laying years, then it would lay:

(19 x 12) x 3
= 228 x 3
= 684 eggs

Multiply this by the average hen population in that normal
egg farm is about 500 on a small scale local establishment.

We also assume that 50 of them at any one time will not lay:

228 eggs per year x 450 hens
= 102,600 eggs

A very basic guess as to how many hens there are in the World who are laying
and having their eggs taken away from them...lets say 1 Million?

102,600 x 1,000,000
= 102,600,000,000

It's chickencide I tell you...



In summary,

*Don't go swimming with the dolphins, especially in tight swimwear
*Keep away from the giant squid; if possible direct its attention to the dolphin and they'll have a staring competition,
*If you're an emo, befriend an iguana and learn the ways of self-kill without using sharps and therefore not making a mess,
*Forego the donkey and choose the mule,
*Lay off the eggs...

Sigh...one should always appreciate puns...

DebtSwap by 180 Degrees

Not everyone has Facebook, and not everyone follows the news either. And for those who do follow the news, this topic can be easily missed because it's only briefly mentioned - not front page material.

This topic I am talking about is an idea called 'DebtSwap' - created through the thinkings of my friend's Sydney University society called 180 Degrees. It made it into the news because the idea has been accepted for discussion during the 2020 Summit.

Because I'm not a Sydney University student, meaning I don't speak verbose, I am going to put this as layman as possible...

The basis of DebtSwap is a student does community service and in return gets their HECs reduced. Regulations and rules around this idea haven't been 'founded' yet, so don't ask what they are because there are none.

However, 180 Degrees are now opening the floor for suggestions on how to approach DebtSwap that will be beneficial for Australian university students. As a good friend with one of the Directors, I'm posting this idea in ANTIFUCK to allow non-facebook users to discuss and give suggestions.

There has been already criticism and debates occurring in regards to DebtSwap, such as an article in the Australian suggesting that it will only be beneficial towards rich students.

Now here's a little excerpt my friend wrote that might help narrow down some questions:

Now, in the spirit of the 2020 summit we want to open the floor to you, our members and prospective beneficiaries of this scheme to make sure that our proposals capture the best interests of all stakeholders:
- is HECS the most appropriate mechanism or are other means preferable, especially in helping low-income students? is it preferable to have a range of options for students so they can choose what best suits their circumstances.
- what sort of areas would students be most capable and interested in working in?
- what sort of accountability and administrative measures are required? how do we balance
- how should it be funded - government, business or a hybrid model
- what lessons can be learned from similar proposals in other countries?

feel free to post here or email debtswap.180degrees@gmail.com

Excuse the verbosity, it's a USyd thing. What do you think?

Dear MQ,

---First Order of Business---

Dear Macquarie University Students,

I would like to introduce myself as the pathetic university student who transferred from UWS at the beginning of this year in the hope of achieving a degree more suited to my preferences and favoured subjects.

Aside from a the horribly long waiting time to find out whether my application had been successful or not; the transition was quite smooth.

And that my dear reader is where the niceties stop...

Whereas at UWS I had a solid group of companions- at MQ I was met with drained faces whose main sustenance was based on cigarettes and coffee.

Aside from that is the fact that I sat in my first Geology lecture next to a couple of asians (who i don't mind to label because that is what they are) who seem to be incapable of initiating or maintaining conversation.

Is it really that difficult to tell me what you like to do?

Or how you are?

I mean seriously, are all exchange students from ALL backgrounds unable to converse in the most widely spoken language on Earth?

Must you make University life a drag by linking each other's arms under a very strangely coloured silk umbrella and jabber to yourselves in Mandarin while walking past me?

Moreso, it can be said that some of your manners are atrocious considering I can open doors to buildings for you while not even receiving a nod of gratitude to recognition.

Keeping in mind that yes you have things on your mind, study, money, work etc etc; it will not however cause you a stroke to say goodmorning back sometime.

I am yet to encounter anyone at Macquarie University with any charisma, character or sheer whackiness of which UWS students possess in abundance.

And Hey!...If I can come here at the age of 3, keep my language at home and amongst my community and still talk with those around me in English; then I'm sorry but you can too...


That is all...

Introducing...ME

hello...welcome to this stark and simple page

why are you here? because you unlike so many people have decided to read something which doesn't involve any klingon, shiznit or ranting about how you're best friend stole your boyfriend from you and you're using a blog to hide behind an LCD panel swearing on the very little power you possess to make her life a living hell...

if you are one of these people, please zip your fly back up and turn the lights on...watching porn in the dark will give you macula degeneration...

my name is Mina...

please don't step on the flowers..

Alice's first post

I'm horribly lazy.

Don't Cha!

Oh yes, to all Antifuckers, please label your posts - it makes it easier for referencing. :)

(Dean) Global Warming What ?? Atlantis

I have just read the most interesting article on Global Warming and the notion of Atlantis. It was by truth one of the most far fetched notions, but when i do think about it, it kinda makes me laugh... then worry.

For those who don't know what Atlantis is, in short, Plato put forward the notion that there was one city that technologically and culture was far advanced in all means than ever seen before. They had this kick ass city in the middle of the ocean away from.. the rest of the world and society. Plato put forward the notion that all human life, languages, culture etc.. was formed from there and influenced. But Alas Due to some unseen events Atlantis sank beneath the oceans and the lost city was never seen again.

Now for the interesting part, I read this article on Plato's notion of Atlantis, and its links to now-a-day society. It was very "out there" i do admit but interesting. The notion that we are going to ignore global warming (kinda happening already) and the Sea levels are going to drastically rise, War will spread (oh look increasing global warming) till... well my guess is Japan because hey they like import all their wood and don't cut down their forests and are techno freaks.... Anyway till one nation thrives over the rest controlling what ever little land is left in the world due to global warming.... Kinda creating an Atlantis

Creating the last form of human existence on a floating island home in a dome.... Atlantis. Over time global warming will stabilise, Ice will form, water levels will drop... Japan, oh i mean Atlantis will add to this and then re-populate the world influencing the culture of the area's that pre-existed there millions of years ago.

Then the fun part, some eco-terrorist, or something happens and japan sinks under the water lost forever.

Hmm was Plato's notion of Atlantis a vision of the not so near future hahahah I kinda really like this theory.... i think im going to move to Japan.

Welcome to the AntiFuck

Seriously people think about it.... That is my issue of the day... well when i think of it, it seems to be more like the issue of the year!

Yes and for those of you who are sitting there reading this and claming... "Well what the fuck is this notion of "it" that i am ment to be thinking of".... Well i have two simple things to say to you

1) First your not thinking hard enough, nor actually opening your eyes because it is more than obvious when you start trying

2) And Second... "It" is everything you think of, Why not try to doubt the fact you are doubting about the perspective of the IT. (atleast it will make you think harder solving your #1 problem)

To be honest i am tired of society, when i sit down and think to myself about the perspective of the human individual I envisioned him or her to be an ill-Mannered and psychologically unstable individual. With an extremely uneducated and barbaric frame of mind, whose vocab display's nothing but ridiculous jaargon, shocking sexual audacity and repulsive images of the capitalism. However, after further analysis of society I can deduce that when i think of the human individual he or she is the epitome of antidisestblishmentarianism (Yes i love that word... and No i cant spell it without looking it up a few times)

Seriously people think about IT! The world needs to be Anti-fucked, litterly sideways because how i view things at the moment is, to be blunt, bleek
