I think it's about time we stopped pandering to the minorities of the country.

FFS :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious:
What will they call Dwarf Throwing now ??
With a bit of luck the extreme left will start to implode , if you feel like a laugh Google ASU (Arizona state university) incident, two young african American girls had a tirade against two white boys being in the 'multicultural centre ' kicking them out because they are offensive and don't belong , the university reprimanded them but they turned it into black lived matter issue and it's still going on.
The world is Fd up alright
Next step is a rewrite of The Lord of the Rings books, Snow White and all other tales that could be considered as offensive... :facepalm:
All part of the woke culture - that is pathetic!
Agree chaps, it's just getting extreme nowadays. :furious: This is what happens when you allow loonies some traction, instead of calling it for what is is, pathetic cry baby shite. it just spreads & more jump on the loony bandwagon because it's easy & novel & they want to be noticed. :doh: :thumbs_down:
The worlds fucked Col ! :furious:
Give me the 70's any day !
Thought you were in your 70's Roo :whistling:
Yeah here we had
- our iconic Coon cheese has to be renamed.
- our iconic 'Gollywog' biscuits were changed to 'Scalliwags;'
- 'Nigger' Brown stadium sign (in Toowoomba) had to be renamed even though it was found to be legally not discriminatory. (http://www5.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/PlaintiffJlAUPLA/2001/9.pdf)
and of course we all remember
- The dog in 'Dambusters' movie had to be censored/renamed as it's name was nigger.
- The changes to Noddy to appease god knows who.
Then there's the trend to tear down statues of iconic historical figures - no matter what good they did - if there's any scent of negativity about them by today's standards.
Some time ago Ayer's Rock became commonly known as Uluru. Now there is a concerted thing to get things changed back to their aboriginal names. Fraser Island is now called K'gari. Of course that won;t do well for marketing/tourism so the OFFICIAL name is now "Fraser Island (K'gari)" :jack:
Australia post has introduced an option (at the moment) to include the tribal land address on letters and parcels. And here's me I didn't even know they used to have a postal service..... :rolleyes:
ANyway rant over...
Agree with Roo 👍👍We wear masks that dont stop anything, supposed to get RAT everyday, unavailable. Such a major balls up this time and place. So over the whole thing.
Says it all 😂😂
don't forget the sharks .... they have feelings too
Those who see a problem with all this are those who have a problem. Normal human beings have a sense of humour and no offence is meant or caused........ :whistling:

But 70's as in 1970's ....... the gsx1400 is bike number 55 since age 15 !!!!!!!!!!!!
I said to someone the other day I still feel the same about bikes when the helmet goes on ! ( It could be 1972 and my Mach4 Kawa !!!!! when I head out for a fang).
It's for your own good, we are just trying to keep you "Safe"
Please use the word 'safe' as often as you are able this reaffirms to everyone that everyone is being cared for, considered and indeed protectected from anything that maybe considered harmful offensive or unsafe. You will no doubt have noticed that in the interest of your safety we have reduced speed limits to reflect what public consultation has asked us for. "Safer Speed Zones
Take no notice of those that purvey Lies, Bribes and Propaganda ......you will have to vote for them soon enough.
Don't get me started :furious:
Id like to get you started but wont go there. I have a million comments/ thoughts on our world, just rather shut up, sit back and enjoy what i think is important. Id rather be drilling out a broken bolt than being on facebook, that shit is total disaster. Ill stop now.
Fortunately we have had no (major) wars or anything catastrophic (generally) for the masses to occupy their minds so we end up concerning ourselves with shit that shouldn't register a concern, unfortunately the radical minority's seem to be making this diversity, inclusivity and equity platform (modified to their own end) something that the silent majority seem to hope will run its course. At the moment I am having a laugh while I wait for them to self destruct :popcorn:
Sooner the better
The Lunatic SJW extreme left are bloody good entertainment
Now, THATS a bike ROO......and you survived to tell the tale....! :onya:
The world seems to be looking around desparately trying to find things to be offended by – usually on behalf of someone else.
If no offence was intended why make an issue of it?
Referring to facebook, many waste so much time on so little.
To save the planet it sounds like one of our councils that operates public transport has been hiring diesel generators to charge up the buses....winner !!
