Now Here's a Merry Xmas

I don't think you're permitted to make such posts - I suspect they would be considered raciest.

The whole lot of them need to be taken out the back of an alley and flogged to within an inch of their life.

If thats political incorrectness, good, shove it up ya jumper and may you choke on your vomit.

Its amazing the Sydney TV news only said "A group of people" yet if it was a group of Lebanese people the would have at least said "Of middle eastern appearance. Is the media in the eastern states afraid or what ?????

Hi GB,
Agreed, not too merry for some. An old friend called me to say g'day over xmas and a little nostallgia crept into the conversation. We've been mates since our school days.

As the decades have passed so to have the incidents and viciousness of crimes seemed to increase. Things like: softened laws, lack of parental control, increased violence in the media, wider gaps between the haves and have-nots, [ the list is endless ]. Depending on ones opinion, one or all have contributed to this problem.

Growing up in my day was no different than today. Sure, after a few beers the occassional blue would erupt but when your opponent hit the deck that was the end of it. The king hit or punch from behind was not the done thing.
Hooning is nothing new but, when the coppers stopped you, the last thing on your mind was an attempt to out run them.
Used to give the shiellas a bit of lip and a fare bit of cheek and they gave it back without the threat of an attack of any kind.

Mind you, I have noticed that the coppers these days dont seem to have the lee-way of those in the past in that a good clip round the ear or a stiff size 10 up the jaxxy got the message across. Now with the eyes of the media, civil libertarians and the like firmly watching every move, I cant quite see the threat of supervision orders worrying most young offenders.

Some may agree, others may not, however its my opinion only.

Cheers.....Lionel [the dinosaur...hehehe].

Many years ago Lang Hancock proposed a solution to the problem of racism concerning the Australian Aborigine ,, perhaps his solution should once again be debated and acted upon.
