Thing is old mate, we can't knock them for that because that was all they knew. It was the way it was for alot of people. My dad was the same. What we can do though, is learn from that experience and improve, and see just how far we have come since those days. Predudism occurs everywhere in the world, including Afican, Asian. Muslim and Christian countries. Not just America, England and Australia. We have a long way to go yet, but we are breaking new ground every day. Sadly not fast enough, but we are moving in the right direction.

Case in point with what Bird sez. A large majority are making sacrifises and trying to do the right thing but are constantly held back by stupid, ignorant and arrogant people

Very true.

However, there are quite a few around who are several generations younger with the same (or stronger) views.

The way I see it, things have not much changed at all. I still hear younger Australians coming out with statements like " we never had crimes in Australia until all these immigrants arrived"

(True, but not in the way YOU are thinking)

Back in the day, the Old Man point blank refused to eat anything with onion in it.

It was declared "bloody wog food" and was strictly banned from the house. "Wogs" were the cause of all things bad in Australia back then. Apparently.

My mother used to berate us kids to not play with those 'filthy, dumb wogs" for fear we would catch something (stupidity, perhaps).

The Old Man was such a shocking racist he even berated the poor folk from Darwin in 1974 who fled south for "taking South Australians jobs". "People ought to stay where they are born and just die there" he would state.

 I  think he taught Pauline everything she knows.......

How old are you mate ?

I'm over 60 and that sort of thinking never happened around where I lived as a young boy.
Had a born in Australia "wog" as a childhood friend, and I can't remember anyone ever talking down to him or his parents, although we all knew his parents weren't all that good at english.

Had a couple of friends at school, that took maybe 5yrs after leaving school till I was told they were of aboriginal descent...just didn't think of those things back then.

Haha, when I was growing up I was almost the only one in my class that wasn’t a wog.... ;D

Me and the token aborigine where the only white or black ones in the room, it was just lots of shades of brown around us... ;D ;D

Funnily enough though, Pauline still used to get about a 3rd of the votes in our town.
I guess the wogs must have hated the Asians as much as the rest of the bogans did.... ;)

I'm well younger than you.

Must just be a South Australian thing, then.

PM just announcing something like

if you go out in Victoria now you have to wear a mask, where social distancing cannot be guaranteed

I didnt hear it clearly at the time - did anyone else?

edit: 60,000 new cases in USA yesterday!





edit edit: It was:

Assuming that people do need to go out, what has not changed is – if people have symptoms and they need to go for a test, for example, which we would definitely encourage –they should wear a mask.
"Other people, where physical distancing cannot be guaranteed, they should also wear a mask."

Wonder when the message will start getting through ???

Police issued 16 fines after discovering a large group of people holding a surprise birthday party at a home in Dandenong.

Police were alerted to the party after attendees picked up a very large order of KFC at a nearby outlet.
Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said the fines would total more than $20,000 making it a very expensive party. .

"That is ridiculous that type of behaviour. It is an expensive night when you think apart from the KFC, we have issued 16 infringements at that amount, that is $26,000 that birthday party is costing them," he said. "That is a heck of a birthday party to recall. They will remember that one for a long time." :cup: :cup:

It seems strange that after 24 hrs they were complaining about the lack of supplies and food.
All their fridges and pantries must have been empty when lockdown started.

Hmmm, where did Victoria's Corona virus come from, it seems it has escaped from quarantine via a guard/s who caught it off a returnee who may have been a Queenslander for all we know.

Read about the SA premier complaining they have had to handle 2000 returnees since the pandemic began and now they will charge them for the quarantine as its to expensive. The other states namely VIC & NSW it appears were handling thousands per week and covering the expense themselves.

Yes VIC stuffed up but I wonder what the situation would look like now if the incoming travellers had been evenly distributed over all the states?

Must admit Queensland was smart when they discovered they had to start taking their fair share of returned travellers after VIC being shut down, they were the first to start charging for quarantine stays to dissuade travellers from wanting to go fly into there even if they were Queenslanders.
