CureTheSane

Yep, me too, closely followed by Animal

Yeah, probably my fav BJ song

Motley, just pipping Warrant

Same

VH and BJ are the standouts here VH just wins for me.

Twisted Sister

Yeah, you're not allowed to fuck up these days. Cancelled. lol, so stoopid.

Motley, followed by Def Lep and Maiden

TS Then WASP and Stryper. Not really fair that Maiden is in tehre, so I ignored that one.

Twisted Sister. Closely followed by Maiden, then QR and Motley

Yeah, and that was an overreaction. Obviously what he said was a bit out there (I haven't seen the original clip) and people got their backs up. But it's just an opinion, right or wrong. People are allowed opinions, even if they are in the public eye, and don't deserve a huge backlash because of it.

Well then, I agree. I predict no more check ins or masks in 2 weeks.

Picking 5 would be hard enough. 1 is near impossible. I'd probably go with White lion, followed closely by Kiss and Def Lep

Take tour balls in your mouth? That's a weird thing to say. You make out like you're the only person on Earth who doesn't like wearing a mask. N9body really asks me any more, they don't care. I have a solution to your problem. Go to Coles buy a 24 pack of bottles water. Take a bottle with you on the train. Take a sip every so often. Have a mask in your pocket. If I thought masks significantly made a difference I'd wear one more often. But there has been enough use nore for significant data to be collected, compiled and released on their definitive effectiveness. That this hasn't been done leads me to believe that the difference they make is insignificant. I do not believe that they should be mandated.

I Snow skied most of my life since 5 years old. Back then nobody wore helmets. Has to stop 10 years ago when I smashed my leg pretty badly, but I never wore a helmet. Ironically Michael Schumacher wore a helmet during many F1 accidents and had no issues, but when skiing with a helmet on caused a life changing head injury. No kids wore helmets riding a bike when I was a kid. I should qualify what I said with the times I ride a bike its in a park etc. If I was riding on roads that would be a different story, but then again if I rode my bike on the roads I'd have to kill myself for being a stain on society 😀 helmets are mandatory on pushbikes here likely they are for snow skiing now which would dininish the fun involved

Pretty sure you're calling me a maggot and that you despise me there. Whatever. Like I said, I don't like to wear it, and I rarely do. But we live in a society and I'm not going to go around bringing shit on myself. No. it doesn't get to me, there always have been and there always will be stupid things happening in society that I don't like or agree with, you either live with it, or become an activist. So I guess that's what you are of sorts. I think smoking should be outlawed. I don't agree with mandatory voting in elections I don't agree with compulaory seatbelts or motorbike or bicycle helmets. But I wear a seatbelt, a helmet if I ride a motorbike, but not if I rise a bicycle. I think the law and punishemnts for rape and murder should be reformed. I think Centrelink makes it too easy for many in society to get by without doing anything. I think we are overtaxed. I think the petrol price should be more regulated, which is hypocritical compared to my stance of free induster and competition etc. I think guns should stay outlawed as they are. i could go on, but I live with and accept all that shit. I save getting pissed off primarily for fuckhesds driving on the road. Fortunately I work 5 minutes from home. Dildo on my head? Weren't you the one asccusing me of looking like a fool the other day?

Too long. I'll try and diversify, but woke really covers so much.

Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) is an interesting case. He used the word, in a much more offensive way and was slammed. He lied low and then later on appeared on Curb Your Enthusiasm and made fun of the whole situation. Got away with all that, what 7 or so years ago? Today he might LITTERALLY be nailed to a cross.

yay! Agreed, storm in a teacup, but sad that it becomes such a weapon for some. Happy to replace the word woke Give me an alternative to describe all these PC bullshit opinions

They would describe your statement as white privelige, which seems to cover a plethora of things these days. Call me a cracker, whitey, skippy (Australia term for white) or whatever, I really don't care.

Because you just can't do that these days. He would be cancelled if he did that. He has to play by the new woke rules. I'm pretty sure he thinks this is all bullshit and fucked up, but he knows he has to come out and say shit like "nobody should use that word in any circumstances, I understand the hurt I have caused to black people and I understand how wrong I was to say it. No reason makes it acceptable and I have learnt from my mistake" He should probably even say things like "a teachable moment" I'm ok with how he used it, and even if he used it in a worse way, say calling someone it, I allow people to apologise and move on. People make mistakes and these days, particularly with things like this word, it seems there is no redemption if you fuck up. It's just a part of an ev er increasing Orwellian society...

I just say whinging poms because that's a phrase that exists here. I donubt English people sook any more or less than anyone else, but I think it's something that a REAL AUSSIE might say, so I thought I should go with it

Big deal. I don't wear a mask. I carry one with me and if in the extremely unlikely event a police officer asks me why I am not wearing one I put it on. End of the situation. Was it you who was the cop hater? Actually I think that was Auslander. Not sure how you feel. Anyway, I put on a mask when I went into my bank, because I wanted something from them so played the game. I put one on entering Bunnings because theya re hard asses and it saves the problems. As soon as I was in, I took it off. I don't like wearing them, and only do when I have to. if I was living in fear of a fine, like you seem to be, I'd just be putting one on and dealing. I still wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't be sooking about it.

Read the story then. He used the N word in coversations with people like Quinten Tarrantino and them amount of times he used the word in his movies. It was used as a part of a discussion. His mistake was saying the actual word, rather than calling it the 'N-word" which realistically is pretty silly. he naver made racial slurs, or called anyone that name. and now new people are asking Spotify to remove their music, because Rogan 'is racist' It's a big problem. But societies standards today, what Rogan did by actually saying the word is a big no-no and undefendable. But in 2010 or whenever, nobody complained, just starting to now that someone made a clip of him using it. History remains to learn from, you can't cancel it. Dr Seuss, Disney, Simpsons, etc. Art, music, whatever. Guns N Roses songs... Nothing too new here anyway, Whitesnake changed Here I Go Again in 1987 from 'hobo' to 'drifter'

I was actually trying to strikethrough 'no' but I didn't look right so I gave up. I'm sure Glen knows he's a whinging pom Geoff actually did run over my cat. The cat survived, but she's pissed now. Nah, he was just being a dick misquoting me, and presenting his take on my opinions as facts incorrectly. I'd finished mny petty bitchy jabs at him, the commets here are just general. Maybe you're just upset that I called your statement silly and rather than address that it's easier to puch for more CTS/Geoff conflict. I'm ok with that if that's what you want, happy to act like a 15 year old for longer
