June 15, 201115 yr The link went to the Independent. But regardless, I liked the article. It was much in line with my own thinking. Don't know what Germaine Greer went through in her childhood in Oz, but she opened a door in the sixties which has changed a lot of the Western world's thinking. (Hasn't affected life in the Middle East or South Asia, though) Don't know what comments you want, though. I think that the 'slut-walk' thing is a failure of either sex to understand the point of view of the other. Both have inner workings that are different, because they have different inner workings (if you know what I mean). Men will. But the fact of it happening shows a different attitude of women, and a different respect for their views, than was present when I was a young man in the early sixties. And it was GG who kicked down the door that had previously shut women out from being opinionated. They had had the voe for fifty years in the UK, had gone to work in the forties because of WWII, but were still usually compliant with the wishes of the men in their household, as far as my memory goes. But then came a sense of freedom and '<deleted> You' from our generation that covered many aspects of life. Richard Branson started making oodles of money, Ronnie Scott opened a jazz club that, although still in a cellar, was civilised, the Establishment was opened in Greek Street to great publicity (and topless girls), my world changed every day. And it has boomed ever since. The achievements of the past sixty years in the West have outshone the entire history of mankind previously - in my opinion. And this is due to the attitude inpired by people like GG, even if she is now past her sell-by date with her philosophy. The world is still changing daily and you have to be very nimble-minded to keep up with this and sort out what is worth keeping, what must be discarded (politicians??).
June 16, 201115 yr The BIG story I recall about "GG" was when she used the horrendous profanity, "Bullsh*t" in a public plave in New Zealand. Of course, she was prosecuted. Ugly beetch, but hadda admire her intestical fortitude

June 17, 201115 yr It's an interesting read, Mossy. Thanks for posting it. But, I frankly don't care WHAT women do or don't do. It no longer concerns me or affects me in any way. Germaine Greer had her day as a man hater and she caused the reactions on both sides of the ledger. Now she has to live with it. It's always interesting to read or hear someone else's views on a topic some might not even think of. But, everyone makes their own bed and they have to lie in it. Everything we do or say has consequences. What I have observed personally is many people don't want to be responsible for the consequences of their own actions.Germaine Greer seems to be one of those people. I have no idea what caused her bitterness, but she now comes across as a dried up shrew... Just as are the slut marches and nude bicycle rides. Edited June 17, 201115 yr by IanForbes
June 17, 201115 yr Germaine Greer and her Female Euneuch is so old fashioned and out of date. It's about time she came out of the seventies. Perhaps i did learn to flirt with my dad, who the f cares? I wrapped my daddy round my little finger..... But also learned alot from him. That's what little girls did in my day. The first man you meet is your dad. He taught me to tie my shoe laces, and school tie. And manners and how to do the twist. I miss him.
July 7, 201115 yr Travel in comfort, chinese style. Love to try this.............. Clickando look and read, video too http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8601317/On-board-Chinas-new-high-speed-Beijing-to-Shanghai-train.html
November 2, 201114 yr About time some of those bar girls were caught. ‘Bar girls’ nabbed for spiking drinks, robbing Phuket tourists Patong Police chief Arayapan Pukbuakao (in black jacket) questions the women as the rest of the officers involved in the arrests look on. All those guys who did NOT get paid "teamoney".......LOL http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/509484-bar-girls-nabbed-for-spiking-drinks-robbing-phuket-tourists/
November 2, 201114 yr http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/8863885/Record-number-of-Britons-leaving-Australia-and-heading-home.html Record number of Britons leaving Australia and heading home They have been dubbed "ping pong poms", the British immigrants who tire of their new life in Australia and head back to the UK, and their numbers are growing.
November 3, 201114 yr Interesting about the disechanted Brits' stats. From previous reading, I'm also aware that not a few try Oz, go back home after a year or so and then again return to Oz. (Maybe they haven't heard of Phuket?)
November 3, 201114 yr Reading that article most Brits go home because they miss family. Makes you wonder why they went in the first place if they can't exist without mum and dad nearby. One person went back because Australia's ocean was too blue! She missed the North Sea.
November 4, 201114 yr Truth be told, they probably missed the illegal immigrants. We have them living next door. You stuff 'em onto Christmas Island.

November 4, 201114 yr Hot Cabin Crew. http://www.cnngo.com/bangkok/life/thai-budget-carrier-young-295067 I liked this quote in the 'comments' section. However, that being said, Thai beauties are often the most idiotic of women because all their lives, beauty has gotten them all they want and they have never developed any other skills, such as thinking. Lets hope nothing serious ever happens on board Nookie Air, help may not be at hand
November 4, 201114 yr Author But, I frankly don't care WHAT women do or don't do. That is an interesting comment, because I think it does interest you what women do or they don't do. Edited November 4, 201114 yr by Mossfinn

December 2, 201114 yr Minister for HealthP.O Box 69Canberra ACT 2600 Subject: New contamination possible in most States December 3, 2011 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PHYSICIANS CONFIDENTIAL Recent studies conducted on"aphthous fever" (for which we have just received conclusive results)indicate that in certain cases this can be transmitted to humans. We foresee a possible contamination in mostAustralian States. Cases have beenreported in Melbourne(3), Sydney(2), Adelaide(4), Hobart(1), Brisbane(2) and more recently in Canberra(1).It was observedthat the subjects examined were regular consumers of wine and spirits. Most(97.6%) of the subjects would encounter serious problems with their vision when having gone withoutalcohol for 1 to 2 days on average. Extended periods without alcohol would seriously affect the individualsreading capabilities. The subjects would also feel a trembling sensation. In extreme cases, individuals would start to hallucinate and see coloured specks whenstaring at an object for extended periods. If you encounter any such patients having these symptoms,please contact the Crisis Centre in Canberraimmediately. Our research to date has resulted in a cure, consumptionof alcohol every day for 3 months!!! Please pass this document on to everyone you believeat risk!!!Edit: Ya neva know how a 'paste' will appear....... sheeeeesh Edited December 2, 201114 yr by Zpete
