I seem to recall a thread that dealt with
schoolies on the Gold Coast and the violence
that they caused and a certain poster coming
to the defence of those schoolies and their
abnoxious behaviour - to the point where apartment
and hotel managers were looking off access to the
balconies for these trouble makers. I was even
accused of being sooo unfair to these kids
who just wanted to have fun. Interesting
now that this same poster has had such a change
of heart and sees things in a totally different
way. Or perhaps it was just an excuse to have a
go at me (again). Hmmmmmm!

"individual" asked 1 March 2014 9:15:56 AM:

"... saw some footage of what appears to be a white female kicking & pushing an elderly man ... Is there any reliable information on this incident ?"

There is little reliable information in this posting: Who is "individual"? When and where is this incident is supposed to have occurred? Who recorded the incident? Is there a copy on-line, so that a informed discussion of the issues could be held?

Indy the thread brings back memory's of another, girls with attitude.
That one and this spoke of a lack of femininity as we knew it once.
Maybe we all share responsibility in a way parents and the culture SOME kids are bought up in.
The need to be seen as in face book selfies contributes too.
I saaw two unfortunate girls best ignored and not over much value in just their clothing.

Foxy,

LOL

If you are going to recall the past you should be accurate, honest and give the context. With respect, you do twist things base over apex a heck of a lot to suit your anti-Australian and pro-'diversity' prejudice - your oft expressed hope of 'diversifying' Australia, presumably until the very people, their culture and traditions and even their history are purged from memory. Here is your elitist opinion of Australians and it is relevant to your posts that you do not link to to:

"It's important to remember Australia before the
waves of migration. It was dull, self-satisfied
and joylessly conformist. Not sinply(sic) null and boring,
but nullarboring. Not merely mindless, but lobotomised".

In fact it was you Foxy who, in the process of countering a police report concerning ethnic (Muslim) criminal gang takeovers of outlaw motor cycle gangs and other police reports of Muslim youths - who couldn't even ride motorbikes - being recruited by OMGs, asserted that the 'Schoolies' on the Gold Coast were far worse than the criminal bikie thugs!

My response at the time was that it was ludicrous to say that. I repeat the same today. That is not supporting the mild nuisance of school kids out to have a blast, but there is a chasm of Bungonia proportions between celebrating school kids who are over-reported (to put it mildly) by sensationalist current affairs programs and ethnic bikie thugs and their gun violence over drug territory.

Plainly you still believe as you claimed then that Queensland Schoolies are worse than the violent bikies who rioted and held Gold Coast police hostage in their station, but you are the odd one out indeed to perceive it that way.

otb,

I stand by my posting record Sir and at no time did I
equate schoolies with bikie criminal gangs.
You did that all on your own. And you're the
one that needs to give the full context - and not
just cherry-pick what suits you to make your point.
That's low tactics in any debate.

I was merely citing what was in the newspapers at the time
what hotel and apartment owners on the Gold Coast were
stating about the coming influx of schoolies and the preparations
that were being undertaken. And the concerns expressed by
the hotel and apartment owners.
You were the one who brought up the
criminal bikie gangs and went on one of your usual tirades
and of course with that comes the usual attributions to
putting words in people's mouths. Classic same old, same old.

As for the quote that you found so offensive and you've
atributed to me - again you did not give the
context in which this quote was used.
BTW: This quote was actually a quote
that was taken from an article written by Mr Phillip Adams -
reprinted from The Age, 12/7/1980, and which I have acknwledged
many times in the past on this forum - because it dealt with
the subject of "Multi-Culturalism in the Eighties."

You love going through my posting record (most people
don't
do that sort of thing - but you're on a vendetta of some
sort) and you regularly are trying to dig
things up that you feel you can then vent your faux indignation
over. Boy, I must really get under your skin.
Oddly enough this comes from a man who consistently refers to
people he doesn't really know as -
"Fabians," "Progressives," "Feminists," " Socialists,"
"Marxists" and others - too numerous to mention -
that you see as enemies of lovely, decent, "real" Australians
such as yourself.

Sad really.

Foxy,

I beg to differ, you did claim that Schoolies were more violent than the OMGs who were very much in the news for their violence on the Gold Coast.

You raised the subject in this thread and I have corrected you. Otherwise provide the link to your posts and mine to prove otherwise. As for your elitist, dismissive attitude to your fellow Aussies, I have previously linked to your posts where it appeared it was your own assessment. It was only very recently that you used quotation marks after another poster recognised its origins that you acted differently.

But in any event since you are prepared to insult Aussies you should at least give supporting evidence to demonstrate how you arrived at your conclusion. To date you have refused to do that. So be it I guess. However this a public discussion site and you can be confident of someone challenging you for evidence every time you sledge Aussies with that odorous quote. Here it is,
