I'm bothered by the fact that offending someone has almost become a crime. People throw up they arms and act as if they have been mortally wounded when they here or see something that offends them. I could continue to rant, but I'll let Steve Hughes do it for me.

Well, it's my fault for not getting the joke seeing as i didn't actually watch Friends simply because it didn't really interest me (I've watched very VERY few sitcoms in my life as most just don't really appeal that much too me). Just personal preference though, but again my fault for not getting the joke ^^
yeah, its a pthetic situation...they NEED to get off welfare, I dont know anything but I feel perhaps they are being too soft, its time to forget the past and really fix this messNoala said:
in regards ot the shcool thing I got a fair amount of guilt tripping in my classes...HOWEVER regardless of if you call it "settling" or "invading" theres no denying the british colonists did what british colonists did best....be dicks to the locals
one trend I hate are "reaction" trends
take one trend, such as gritty reboots or brown gritty games...then get HUNDREDS of people complaining and complaining and comoplaining untill they seem to proclaim those elements within them selfs are BAD full stop, no matter how well executed

People driving 4WDs and SUVs on-road. And particularly, on suburban and urban roads. If it sits higher than a sedan or masses above 2500kg, you should need to hold an LR license to drive it, BECAUSE IT IS NOT A CAR AND DOES NOT DRIVE LIKE ONE.
I love you. Someone else who understands that there is no expectation of privacy in public.Caverat said:
They were dicks to the locals because the locals kept trying to spear them.Vault101 said:
Also gents, I'm from Cairns - you ain't seen NOTHING until you've seen the reverse-racism of that place.

I thought she had plenty, dressing as she does...
Parents who let the internet, TV and video games raise their children and then wonder why they have no manners or act out. I understand parents have busy lives, but part of having children is the obligation to actually participate in raising them. I used to work at a Toys 'r' Us and I can tell you that it really is insane what some parents let their kids get away with. Aside from that it really bothers me that you can't spank children anymore without it being child abuse. When I was younger I got beaten with cordless phones, wooden spoons and all manner of blunt objects and I turned out just fine, and with a healthy respect for the rules. Now obviously some of what happened to me might be a bit overboard, but I honestly think that sometimes the only good way to teach someone is with the occasional dope slap.
Im an atheist and i couldnt have put my views better than this.tthor said:
There is nothing wrong with belief until it becomes an insitution which allows people to have control over others.
Believing in a god doesnt make you an idiot like ive heard alot of people say, but using faith to excuse injustice/ignorance is also unacceptable
Im tired of people i didn't elect into office spending my money.
I have to pay for the debt the people are making now, not them.
I hate that if you fight back in school it is concidered bullying. I will defend myself.
damn tiny backpacks!!!!
WTF is with the people thinking they can decide what the cops do with public property, if it was theirs they could do something about it.
Im tired of people not LEAVING ME THE HELL ALONE!!!!!

while that mabye true to some extent I dont think theres any glossing over the fact that colonists were also dicks to natives because they belvied they were an inferior race and were quite happy to exploit them in anyway...not just Australia but ANY country colonizedBlueMage said:
I mean the wasnt the stolen generation about breeding them out? and also not the mention the white Australia policy
while I think there are two sides...I dont see anyway of glossing over the fact that there were alot of rasict people back in the day
i don't like the whole mulsims can where head-dresses where-ever but christians can't wear little crosses at work. I AM NEITHER, I'm a damm duelism pantheist and I still think thats wrong.
I am also English and know why this is happening, I call it the "new people politics"
As a sensible Englishmen I'm wel aware we're all immigrants here: (england= land of the Anglos, a germanic tribe that moved here in the 5th to 6th century (We both like beer, sausages and conquering, kinda ovious if you think about it.))
But, throughout history we have always given a little too sensitive treatment to whoever was new.
Now the mulsims are the newest in so we are bending over backwards to not offend them while not caring about some of the oldest. (A note I am not good at history but i'm pretty sure white christians are nothing "NEW" in england considering church of england and it being a traditionally christian country)
Anyone remember that old poem "When they came for them, i did not speak up" ?
Surely the next new lot to england should speak out and mention how unfair this is and we can actually have some REAL equality rather than just caring for either the new dudes or those in political power (thats an arguement for another day though)
Anyone else getting this?

Environmental destruction.
I know people who bring this up tend to get branded as tree-hugging hippies and shouted down. However, the nasty little fact of the matter is that we have a finite amount of planet and we're using it up at a quite a rate.
