....... taught from birth that to stick your head above the crowd and complain.. unless you are of the privileged sets.. means you will be bashed to the ground as a 'smart-arse', and vilified as a 'whinger', or as some kind of communist radical......

.... origin as a convict penal colony with only two kinds of people - cops and robbers - has lead to a society where most are fully aware that they have no real rights or chances in life.. so they follow blindly.....

... bread and circuses .. as long as the cricket team is going well, and the booze is flowing freely... many choose just to ignore.... and seek to forget that just outside their wall of boozed indifference are demons seeking to devour them.....

..state-sponsored terror to induce compliance and fear in the populace.. nowhere more generated than in the current never-ending assaults on employment, opportunity to earn and prosper, and even on your meagre income upon retirement.....

95% of the Australian population these days is insane in some way or another... I'm happily reading a book - "Happy Hour In Hell" - not too far a stretch to see many of the things described happening here daily.

Let's remember how we treat those who protest or march. Like absolute scum. ACA and TT are all over them. Dole bludgers. Rent a crowd.

I'm all for a good protest or march. Let's face it, we're due for a proper uprising.

Oi! We've got a culture. It's to hang as much poo as possible on anyone remotely different. Muslims are the target of the decade.

*sigh*

One more time - any Carl D (or variations thereof) you see or have seen at PA are NOT me. Got it?

Could someone PLEASE put this as a 'sticky' at the top of the forums? (even then, I'm sure some people still wouldn't get it).

See what I mean, Mothra?
