Massive outcry - I mean outbreak of hypocrisy

Unfortunately Australia goes through those phases, especially in relation to social issus in a scattergun way, dependant on moods sometimes driven by whoever's in power

For example for many years we were in denial about the Aboriginal problem. Then in the late sixties there was acceptance but no real remedy.

In the seventies some form of remedy was foisted upon a large area of Australia due to bi-partisanship, but there was little acceptance and a great deal of anger.

Throughout the eighties and nineties there was a national move towards acceptance and a number of remedies were tried or talked about with varying degrees of success. This lead to a renewed denial movement fuelled by extreme partisanship.

You could probably see this pattern in immigration, welfare, IR and equal opportunities.

I think we've been victims for a long time wiyh a political cycle that seems to be forever out of sync with public attitudes, whichever end of the spectrum those attitudes come from.

Legs in this thread? No tits??

Legless qunts and arseholes. No tits.

AHA! Found it, after discussions the other day about dogbothering. No icon though.

Shame you didn't find A-ha. Could've done with a bit of Sun Always Shines On TV. Or what about Stay On These Roads - cor, wasn't that a belter?

I'll take your word for it; I thought they were one-hit wonders and am content to leave it that way.

If only you knew. One of my earliest girlfriends was ultra girlycrush over the lead singer. The torture I went through just to get my hand up her jumper. The combination of ear-rape and mouth love. Confusing times.

Well that dates you. In return I offer my own abject memory of being told in 1975 by a rather hot and confused (and vision-impaired) girl that I looked like David Cassidy, 'do you like him', to which I stupidly replied 'no'.

It's always a yes. Even if that yes means you've just said you're Catholic, when actually you're a completely scornful atheist. David Cassidy? That dates you!! So does the 1975 bit though, I suppose.

Yep. What a different life it might have been if I'd been a Cassidy fan. I really shouldn't have gone on to say a bit scornfully, while putting Machine Head on the turntable again, that I thought Cassidy was a purveyor of banal crap! The relationship was all downhill after that.

I love it when a good thread gets lardated and picks up its goodness where it left off.

Aye, thought exactly the same thing. I think he'd get a chuckle.   

I apologise in advance if I offend anyone, but was this some sort of pissing into the wind contest?

They're all good threads, aren't they?
