What about Deb?
Thanks Dan, I was too pissed to answer anything last night with any cohesion I didn't even realise I had made that post about the footy till today :DQuote:

Jack Tar was a common English term used to refer to seamen of the Merchant or Royal Navy, particularly during the period of the British Empire. Both members of the public, and seafarers themselves, made use of the name in identifying those who went to sea. It was not used as an offensive term and seafarers were happy to use the term to label themselves.
In the Engine Room Jim me old mate.Quote:

I also hate the way American's have bastardised the English language out of ignorance and then had the arrogance to call it American English! That's a major dichotomy right there - American English. Farkn!
That Webster boofhead who wrote his own "American English" dictionary needs several hard smacks to the head with a Vigero Bat (harder than a cricket bat).
If you want to learn correct English language, you'd get a great head start by not reading a Websters dictionary.
Unfortunately, I think that the language and spelling ignorance is so far gone in the US that the bastardisation is there to stay.
It also farkn erks me when the Yanks finally start to accept the simplicity of the Metric system only to incorrectly spell aspects of it - it's Litres not Liters!! FFS!
I've got a yank car and get reminded of this all the time via my dash instruments. How the frig do these fuck-ups happen?! Does no-one bother to find out the correct spelling and just assume? All you have to do is google it on the internet!
It reeks of stupidity and ignorance. Mind you, stupidity comes from ignorance and visa versa so maybe they're caught in a sort of Dr Who stupid ignorant warp or something...
Nothing personal against individual Americans but when their culture is pushed on to me, I friggin hate it. Fuck it, let's go all the way while I'm on a roll...
* I hate Yank companies who buy up Aussie brands and then change the description/labelling of the product ie. push yank culture onto us and erode our own - it's not ketchup, it's bloody TOMATO SAUCE!
* It's not Peanut butter, it's Peanut Paste (Butter is the extract of a dairy process. Nothing to do with peanuts)
* They aren't cookies, they're Biscuits!! I even hate the sound of the word cookies. So sickeningly sweet. Real men eat fucking Biscuits, cookies are for nancies. Even the Girl Guides make biscuits.
You've only got to have kids to realise how much Americanism is eroding Aussie culture:
We should ban Mcfuggin Happy Meals and the cheap-shit, useless after one play toys that come with them. I'm amazed the Greenies haven't cottoned on to this abuse of plastic. I wonder how many Mcfuct Meal toys there are in the local rubbish tip... Note - Rubbish Tip, not garbage dump, farkn.
Ban the Disney channel with all it's big-eyed nancy-boy animation and prettily drawn people (ever noticed how even the bad guys in disney animations are not drawn very evil or nasty looking and all the characters have larger than life eyes?)
Disney animation reminds me of a Sex Pistols song - You're so pretty, I'm so pretty.... vacant!
Get real for the kids. I say gradually prepare them for the real world early so they don't get shit scared when they've got their first job and are out on their own.
Ban all the lame-arse American tween sit-coms about trying to be the most popular or coolist kids in school. That sort of cultural crap is not sociable or healthy to impressionable kids.
Farkn I could go on but it'll just bore people more than I have already... farkn.
Where the fuck have they gone? I was complaining to the missus the other week that I haven't had those things in years. Fuck I love those biscuits.Quote:

Then this should make you even more upset.
I know it did me. How degrading to our ANZACS to have this travesty floating around cyberspace:
http://readysteadycook.ten.com.au/1879.htm
Now I will say I'm not overly surprised by this monumental stuff up by Channel Ten it fits hand in hand with Big Brother, So You Think You Can Dance (US or OZ), Supermodel Something crap, Idol Crap etc;
http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives...es-recipe.html
But this is a Yank site as is evident by the address so maybe we should all start flaming them via email to change it to it's rightful name?
Girl Guide Biscuits were probably bought up by some American company and then broken up to get rid of so they don't compete with any American products. Let's face it - Girl Guide biscuits were pretty good, especially for tea/coffee dunking.
Look what the yanks tried to do with Ugg Boots and heaven forbid they get hold of our Lamingtons! There'll be war from me if they take away Lamingtons!
You'll find it has everything to do with massive decline in girl guides... girls can be scouts now and i guess the boys make it more tempting when you're 12 years old.
Fucking 12? I was too busy trying to stop the girls from giving me their germs.Quote:

I'll be more economic and say what i like.....I like boobs & bikes hate everything else
Fuckn oath, when I was 12 I was too busy hitting dead things with sticks, doing skids on my BMX and throwing rocks at my neighbours to worry about anything else.
Now 12 year olds are getting knocked up, stealing cars and stabbing their teachers. Where has the innocence gone. Kids are no longer kisds and its a direct result of american cultural influence.
damm right
when i was 12 i was a girl guide... when i was 13 i was smoking billies on the shade nets above playgrounds... and making out with 16 yr olds... i was 25 on thursday...
AND you dont have to tell me about crazy 12 year olds, im a student teacher and my first year 7 class ended in 2 suspensions... a girl pulled a guy of his seat by his neck and picked up the chair to hit him with it... I was standing there with just a sub teacher to help me, and in that situation you just dont know what to do!
i was born in 1960 and i really reckon stuff has gone to pot ..[no pun ]
"TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE ................. 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were n't overweight becauseWE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on (or when dad whistled).No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.
After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chatrooms
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
The early 80's can be added to that too Jim. I was born in 1980 and thats pretty much on par. Just needs to be edited to australian or evengitBrit speak.
Jims correct on all accounts, most people dont realise how good they have it, or we had it. Complancency is a cunt eh..
soooo right jim..most of the good times are gone..thank fuck for motorcycles. I also hate nigger music..all this shit they pass off for R&B
I dont think we'll have to worry about them for too much longer .... I reckon as soon as the market really shits itself Russia or North Korea or someone will have a go and send then a nice little Thermo Nuclear Warhead ... If i had one i would as it'll be the best time to crush them ...Quote:

+ 1 I too loathe Coon Tunes.
I also hate (C)Rap Music. Stop singing about getting some and just go get it. I don't wanna hear your sordid rubbish. I got better things to do, like crank some old school Metallica, Iron Maiden or Judas Priest and listen to something enlightening.
Take your baggy pants with your I just crapped in my pants walk and get the hell outta my face or I might just decide to slap you.
My favourite Question - How can they call Qld the smart state when they can't even teach the kids the correct way to wear a cap or how to find the right size pants in a clothing store?
