BETHFC - 30 Aug 2016 9:32 AM
I am disturbed by the shitstorm over a Perth mother painting her son's face brown so he could be like his hero Nic Nat from the West Coast Eagles.

Is this what we want to teach our kids? That our heroes have to be the same colour as we are? Nic Nat even posted that he was upset by the backlash.

If Nic Nat was offended, sure, it's  inappropriate. But this is a kid who isn't blinded by race wanting to be like his idol. This sort of thing should be celebrated rather than condemned.

And then on the other hand everyone is cheering Ben Cousin's kid for dressing up like a coke head.

Social Justice gone mad.

Close shave with Human Rights Commission for ‘men-only’ barber store

Feminism is the new feral.

If she wants to talk about the Discrimination Act wouldn't Fernwood gym actually have a case to answer? This shit is way overblown. If you don't like it, don't f*cking go there.

Victimhood has become the new moral authority. Society's perception of reality is now through the victims eyes and if you haven't suffered the same oppression, then who are you to question their experience? Identity politics is a means to obtain a presupposition of victimhood.

Victimhood has become a fucking lifestyle choice which shits on the real and horrific experiences of real victims out there who have suffered great injustice.

The Human Rights Commission needs to worry about genocide and poverty, not some spastic who's pissed off because she couldn't go to a barber.

In suburban Sydney a muslim decided to randomly murder a non-muslim, just cos he wasn't a muslim.

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/wayne-greenhalgh-was-just-out-for-a-walk-in-minto-when-ihsas-khan-attacked-him-20160911-grdqwp.html

Fortunately he was a lame, weak prick and even though he picked the most unfit guy he could find, couldn't kill him.

Get well Wayne.

I saw a funny analogy the other day "if I gave you a bowl of skittles and told you two would kill you would you still take a handful?".

*prepares self for rollicking about how I am bowing down to fear mongering etc etc etc......

Heard about this today.  Worst idea ever. Who cares if you go to work in the dark in March, it's still light when you get home and that's good.

Bloody 10 thousand yokels out on the NSW / SA border trying to tell 7 million people on the Eastern seaboard what's what.

In June, July, August you go to work in the dark and no one whinges about that.  Why the stink over March?
If anything there should be double daylight saving.  2 hours in summer and 1 hour in winter.

The Budgie 9 should have gone to jail! 

typical low class Aussie skylarking whilst under the influence of VB.

see it time and timer again, where Australians make big huge fools of themselves overseas, which is why I always duck for cover whenever I hear a crude Aussie accent headed my way. Even been known to put on a fake Yanky accent to avoid any conversations with Aussies. lol

What causes this shit to happen is the fact that lots of recreational drugs are illegal. If it was regulated and their was quality control then none of this stuff would happen because no shitty substances get chucked in the tablet by dodgy manufacturers. I have no doubt that no one actually thought they were taking Flakka or whatever it's called, they probably assumed it was MDMA which is relatively benign.

Also that's a pretty callous thing to say, when your nephew or someone you know pops a pinger after their year 12 formal or at a rave and reacts poorly due to the shit that gets mixed in, maybe you'll have some more sympathy.
