Wow, Leigh...

After about a month of lurking on this site you have finally impassioned me to get an account and start posting.

I am Generation Y, I vote Liberal, I realise I am a minority in this case, however its to be expected when Howard simply did not pursue any policies directed to us, and considering we do make up a significant portion of the population what a terrible mistake on his behalf.

Just writing to say I find your ramblings completely insulting, that you hold far less respect for the younger generations than you claim for them to hold for you, and that if someone said that anyone above the age of 60 should be euthanaised, you would be the first to kick up a stink.

The most ironic feature of all this is- I completely agree with you on the article- I found it completely ridiculous and would have been happy to see the back of her on a plane to NZ because anyone who would leave a country over a simple democratic decision displays signs of immaturity. However you have made the mistake of clumping the words of some immature woman- (shes 26) and associating it with everyone in our generation. Like her you only have a vision which sees things in black and white. An immature position at best and sorry to be so patronising when I say-

Someone your age should know a lot better

Well, saying Johnny out is good, but he had democratically “raped” us more than a decade.

The question remains whether a life to be better, and Anglo-racism grounding very basic of this London-bounded semi-colony to be changed to provide better opportunities for non-belonging to an Anglo tribe only.

mylakhrion, interesting comment about who raised gen-Y. I am on the cusp of X/Y (depends on your year definition), but probably very conservative even for GenX (most of the time). But I was raised by a Builder (came before the boomers), and the large generation gap probably shows in my attitudes today. Little sayings and the like are a dead giveaway, usually when it comes to age, but also in identifying the rough age of one's parents. Its made even worse in my case, as my grandfather was born in the early 1880's, so I'm only separated from the time of Ned Kelly by 2 generations.

A lot of sniping going on among the Posts, but very little about what is happening now in the Middle East, or what we let happen years ago to let it now happen in our world's main crisis area.

Maybe the Humanities where all such is discussed so much, proves they are not the Loonies as said, but the ones at one another right here getting no bloody where?

Country Gal, so-called generation-Y has been grown by racists and for racists, as not belonging to Anglos are seen as lower creatures existing to serve their Anglo-masters only regardless of X,Y or W W W -generation code.

Kevin Rudd didn't win.

Bob Brown did.
Unfortunately.

Now, he should have been smothered at birth! (Just joking, kiddies.)

If you though Fraser was "difficult" in 1975, just wait and see what burning hoops Our Lady of the Sacred Forest makes us jump through.
