Hi, been a while since I have posted here, however I was wondering if anyone knows what has happened to Boondocker and Nicoles D+R site. It seems to have vanished. Were I paranoid I would say that the forces of politcal correctness have finally caught up and our esteemed mods are on their way to a cyber-gulag for reeducation. :o

The peasants are demanding more money for acting as clay pigeons and thus I have had to let them go and employ some easily exploitable foreigners on 457 visas. This had resulted in some extra costs this month. Outrageous I call it. :o Actually, on Tuesday I'm off to Scotland for 3 weeks for a family wedding, so I will not be able to post for a bit, unless I can hack someones wifi.

And when you come back from Scotland for God sake don't bring any duty-free whisky back because that too is 'haram' and you might find yourself ..... being tossed out of the 'moving vehicle' at a height of 37,000ft (11km/7 miles) travelling at 478 knots (550mph). :D |

I thought I should make an infrequent visit to the good ship D & R and see how the revolution was coming along and........
"Nek minute" she was gone. Goner than a left wingers intellectual lintegrity Goner than an Islamists appreciation of a free press Goner than a Greenies bath time Goner than an anti gunners wallet when they are being mugged. Goner than the previous governments budget surplus Of late I was only an infrequent visitor to D & R but I used to keep an eye on the inmates every now and then even if I didn't speak up much Hope Brad and the crew from D & R are all ok. |

It feels just like D&R. :D It's got leftards, rightards, retards, trolls and shamans, intellectuals both faux and real, and an abundance of material on which to dispute or agree. Is it really true that you cannot post a linked quote until your post count reaches a certain figure? How antediluvian! Sorta makes it hard to back an opinion, what? Given a little more time I may take the plunge. That being said, is it even remotely possible to miss the likes of BR, DB and CS?

The right thread? With a little parsing, that statement might almost make sense. However, the sentiment is clear. Who was it said, "A military man can scarcely pride himself on having "smitten a sleeping enemy"; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack." Given the current political leadership in the US and the debate being conducted there over restricting gun ownership, it will be an interesting next few years. The American Constitution is under attack like never before - and it's not all about guns. Imagine, twenty kids brutally murdered in one rampage in Connecticut and the legislators go into a frenzy while 806 young people and children have been killed in Chicago alone in the last six years. Where's the outrage? Almost 3500 dead since Sandy Hook, where's the reportage? Though I will admit that Chicago has bigger problems than mere gun control. Also interesting to note the incidence of gun crimes in this country since the Weapons Act was passed. Seems like Sydney and the Gold Coast are slow getting the news. Just maybe, banning guns is an easier, and more publicly satiating, solution than fixing fractured societies. Just sayin'. |

I could go on, but I don't want to crack a walnut with a sledge-hammer. It was commo Gough Whitlam and his mafia mate Al Grassby who decided to cancel Australia's British credentials and make this a 'Multicultural' no-mans land in which the Anglo-Australians were no longer to be regarded as the premier people ~ but were simply to be relegated to the status of being just another 'ethnic' community with no special claim for having founded the country.

It's kinda ironic/poetic justice in a perverse sort of way. I recall that newbies at D&R were not given access to usual facilities until they had won the grace and favour of Brad/Nicole......and if one whinged about it, the regular inhabitants howled one down. It was used quite deliberately as a weapon to belittle those newbies not prone to a-rse licking.
At least here, it is automatic after a pre-set post number has been reached, and not discretionary. :D Herbert, after you have made a Post, does the option 'modify' not appear near the top right corner of what you posted? |

Well, as so happens, my great-great grandfather was German, with a fairly obvious German name. It was a matter of a snake bite that changed the course of my family's history. My great-great grandfather succumbed to the snake bite venom, leaving behind a family and widow. My other great-great grandfather (of Welsh extraction) came along, married my great-great grandmother and adopted the children. He then bestowed upon them his last name of .... Welsh origin.... and so onwards my great grandfather pursued the family line having his own family (with my grandfather as one of his sons). Had my great grandfather not had a new daddy with a new last name, it's quite possible that granddad and great granddad (of Welsh origin last name, but German extraction) would have been harassed during WW1 and WW2 by the local yokels. I couldn't imagine them Anglicising their last name just to appear more Aussie to avoid harassment during two world wars, had snake anti-venom been readily available in the 1880s. Though perhaps, WW2 might have changed things for them to hurry up and assimilate. |

I've spent the last two years trying to link my great grandfather to where he was born and lived in Germany, but no luck so far. He lived and worked for a while on Burntisland in Scotland. His son married my Devonshire grandmother ... and around 1922 he traveled to Shanghai to take up a job opportunity. My grandmother followed him there two years later. After that he disappears from the records. Bit of a mystery. He was a tailor like his father. It's possible they were Jews, but I've seen no evidence of this. |

Are you sure his name is 'Aussie' ~ and not 'Builder', alias 'Sandgroper'. There was a closet homosexual on the other forum board who for years was obsessed me, and never tired of stalking me with gratuitous little pin-pricks and barbs as a way of attempting to prove to himself he had no homosexual interest in me. He was a very confused and conflicted individual. A truly pathetic and wretched loser much in the same mould as your 'Aussie' here. Perhaps it's time 'Aussie' confronted who he really is and made a booking with a male escort agency. Maybe even drop into his local bath-house to say 'Hello' to the boys. |

Ringer is too modest to respond to this compliment. However, none of us will be left stranded here on Planet Ozpolitic. Brian Ross has designed and commissioned the construction of an inter-galactic Starship named the 'Titanic' which is scheduled for its maiden voyage to Debate and Relate Mk2 as soon as some of the life-boats can be removed from their davits due to weight problems.

I am new here so I just assumed Herbert ( his post are excellent) and some of the other poster who came here from D+R were usual poster here. I find many of the nicks who have come from that board interesting and resonable posters. I hope they come back to this board often and post their views.
In defense of this board having a waiting period for posting links I have to say I have been a moderator of boards before and you would not believe how many morons will pop in just to post a link to their car dealerships, porn, etc. So I can see the logic behind having to show that you are truly interested in being a poster here before you can post a link. To all you D+R posters I hope you can find some time to remember this board. You have to admit it was nice of this boards moderators to allow y'all the opportunity to fine each other here. Many aussie boards I have been a member of will not allow other boards links to displays but this one showed y'all kindness. BTW if y'all would be so kind as to drag that stupid chimp and that sob thingy to y'alls site I'd be much obliged..lol You can keep them both forever as far as I'm concerned. ;D |

Are you gonna try to pretend to be an academic again Bwainless, you bullshitting flog with the febrile imagination? ;D ;D ;D Not sure I can be bothered posting to a forum modded by a delusional fantasist who I have humiliated and kicked pillar to post, exposing his lies. I suspect little latitude before the fool takes his revenge for his previous humiliations at my hand. I also look with wry amusement the rules about ad hom. I say wry amusement cos Bwian has demonstrated he does not know when an accusation of ad hom is appropriate, to be fair and blunt, he does not have a smacking clue what an ad hom is. I have tried to educate him, but as anyone who has dealt with the bullshitting fool knows he is resistant to learning. |

Also he should have shown more tolerance / acceptance of muslim terrorists, because it's not their fault, nor is islamic terrorism in any way connected with islam and the qur'an. I`m afraid Herb's ideas quiet simply are the antithesis of the ideology exhibited by the present d&r admin. (IMHO) |

As I've said, with every right comes a responsibility. I'd prefer not to see any rules imposed but anarchy simply doesn't work and absolute freedom of speech has its own problems. Something even the supposed absolute bastion of the right acknowledges in its Supreme Court judgements. We've see what the old D&R looked like and IMHO it was pretty ugly place. It scared off any potential new recruits and it had simply become place where those who couldn't act in a responsible, adult way had free reign for their petty sniping. Now, it is your choice, either you can give the new rules a chance or you won't. If you don't, I will be both sorry to see you go and be sorry that you wouldn't rise to the challenge they offer. Surely even you could discuss issues without resorting to unnecessary, offensive comments? |

I would like to give Brian's version of a board a fair go. There are plenty of other boards where one can vent ones more aggressive instincts.
I want to see Datalife posting at D&R with sympathetic and brotherly regard for Brian's various sensitivities. I want to see a reconciliation between the two. Perhaps we could even witness a mutual 'Sorry Day' between them before too long. Come on, Sappho. Don't be a party pooper! |

I am returned to the world after a brief exile in the wilds of (soon to be independent) Scotland. Good to see so many of the old gang have showed up. The new DR will have my patronage as soon as I am able to get signed up. :)
