Could it be a publicity stunt to gain free advertising? I just saw the red skin re name fiasco on television.... a great way to get your brand on tv for zero cost ......I never was a fan of them red skin lollies but the ice cream redskin splits were nice ( that’s what happens when one Indian hits the other in the face with a tomahawk)

How does it go...??

Something like...

"I remember when i could tell the story of sitt'n on a poof, suckin on a fag with a tranny in my ear havin a gay ol' time & nobody got offended..."... :?

The scary thing is these spineless pansy snowflakes making these decisions will be running the country soon enough... :huh:

Another thing to add to my do not buy list. Anyone who caves to the mob is not worthy of respect. They used to sell those golliwog biscuits but I have not seen them for years.

As a white male I am offended by the milky bar kid. It perpetrates a negative stereotype against white cowboy kids. :sarcasm:

Mark my words people. A world wide war is coming in the next 5-10 years. It will be a war with ideological factions, like the Spanish Civil War but on a global scale. Everything is becoming fractured and polarised and the future looks grim. History is being rewritten at this very moment and with everything being digital it is not hard to erase things from existence.

I think people should take the world as it is before it is destroyed by stupidity, yes some things could be taken as offensive to some, but the rubbish that is taking on now is beyond belief, i'm surprised we are allowed to say ''Black Market'' when referring to things sold on the sly

The Nestle milk plant in Tongala (northern Vic) is also Flagged to close in the near future and with it will go their Famous sweetened condensed milk that is in everyone’s pantry and has been for decades. It’ll be made in Europe I believe. This closure will have serious flow on consequences for that little town of 1200.

People in the 1st world have competely lost fheir survival instinct. Too much money, too much leisure, too many drugs. We are told not to argue with safety, social or medical experts, the same experts who say there are infinte genders and an 8 year can choose their sex. Cancer hits 1 in 2 people now, its the real pandemic, but we hide indoors watching the economy get tipped into big businesses pockets over a virus that even full transmission is 3x less likely to kill you than being obese. It will be more and more of this media inflated psycho-babble money grabbing nonsense from now on. Australias specific problem is despite the outback reputation 70 % of our population resides in just 10 cities. Latte sipping metro-morons decide something is a great idea, it becomes policy for the rest of us.

That’s sad - and is really a microcosm for the worlds issues...those 1200 - will now be very affected and the avalanche starts...the world economy / new world order - kinda stems from this type of thing. This CV crap showed that many, many jobs can be done from a pc / phone - so how many big businesses will now look to $2 hour labour for same thing..

Couldn’t agree more.
In fact - I can feel the pull.
I can see my kids slipping towards something (a lifestyle I don’t agre with) I’m far from happy about - but it’s like fighting a huge magnet...even I myself - I used to be happy to work hard 6 days a week but now, I’m becoming more and more inclined towards laziness...just being honest - it’s not whom I was nor want to be...but it’s a slow...eroding thing that seems to “infect” your being. Is it tech? Is it the morals being discussed above - where you think, screw it, I csnt fight the wankers anymore? Or what...

Apparently, transracialism is now a thing so I guess someone's "inner Native American who they were always meant to be" was the one who took offense and yadda yadda yadda.

The most hilarious part is now it's called "Red Rippers" and it sounds like a serial killer :roll:
