They were good days I reckon BELLY. We had bugger all money, but we managed to amuse ourselves without the need to have outside stimulates. We treated girls with respect, and no four-letter words could be heard in their presence.

I think our society has lost much over the years, particularly our kids. The last three or four decades especially. If you disagreed with a bloke, you'd have it out behind the toilets (at school), otherwise behind the pub's car park. No 'glassing' in the face, a good old fashioned stink, probably shaking hands at the end of it?

It beats me where our culture, our honour, and morality has gone? As we've become even more advanced, we've become more vicious even more brutal towards one another? And I don't know why?

the Vietnam War, split our entire population, like none other, in contemporary times.
o sung wu,
This it definitely did here because it facilitated of the removal of National Service in exchange of votes !

Dear individual,

The biggest event happening in our lifetime is the transmigration of Chinese to Australia transforming the country from Anglo Australian to Sino Australian. Come to Sydney and have a look for yourself if you don't believe me. Maybe the Chinese Communist Party will award us with honorary Chinese citizenship. The ones who have really suffered are the poor old Aboriginals: first the whites take their land only to be taken again by the Chinese.

Hey Mr Opinion,
I'd tend to agree with that.
I went to Sydney about 18mths ago;
- Via 'planes, trains and automobiles'.
(It's a long and painful story just like Steve Martin's.}

I saw a few Aussies around at the airport, but once I got down to the train station; every single stop around the city was 90% Asian passengers.

"The ones who have really suffered are the poor old Aboriginals: first the whites take their land only to be taken again by the Chinese."

I feel sorry for the ones joining with Islam who somehow foolishly think the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Dear Armchair Critic,

There are a lot more Chinese in Sydney now than there were 18 months ago. By my count it's 1 in every 2 people. And rising! It's good to find someone who can back me up in what I have been saying. They're been brought in for one thing only: their money, which we need to keep the Australian economy afloat so that we can all retire at 55. A bitter pill to swallow.

Well as few posts highlight yet another thing that has changed
Our xenophobia has found new targets about every decade
At my birth it was Refos, ww2 refugees
Then Asians *the no Asian Aussie crowd*
Next Muslims no discrimination, some insist on hating them all
Now Chinese, anyone from Asia is branded Chinese
Prefer to remember those first ten years
Much more fun, running amuck but being home as warned,before dark
