Time to out some racist fucktards

I remember once throwing my absolute guts out after a night on the beers, Southern Comfort and 13 shots of Tequila with dangerous amounts of Tabasco sauce to the point that I could have sworn that I was blowing chunks through my tear ducts. As I lay in a laneway in the wee hours, attracting dew, I heard a group of people coming and begged them to kick the shit out of me to end the pain. They kindly took me back to my friends and as I wiped the bile off my face to look as presentable as I could I vowed then and fucking there to never, ever drink again.

The next day I drank half a slab watching the Grand Prix.

It’s like this with the Herald Sun web site comments section - which is binge drinking from a cask of Fruity Lexia for the mind and sees you mentally spewing out bile in return, which is the mind’s way of rejecting this shit without doing permanent damage - with the added bonus of feeling pretty good once you’ve let it all out. And while you vow never to read them again, you do.

So here I am now cracking open some Herald Sun comment and skulling it down on an empty stomach ready to see what comes up. WARNING LANGUAGE MAY OFFEND

The topic? The taxi driver protest in Melbourne. To be fair, a lot of people were sympathetic to the driver’s concerns and worried about their safety and the racial abuse they cop every night. Sadly not everyone shared this opinion.

 Its bad enough I lost my job to an overseas worker willing to work for under $10 an hour (true story) But get real what do these cab drivers want a police escort to ride gunshot with them Its not the fault of the police as to what happened ,no amount of policing could have stopped this random attack. Driving a taxi is your choice if you believe its too dangerous dont do it.

No, they don’t want a police escort you fucking “theytukarjarbs”dip shit. What they do want is police to respond when they feel threatened and to treat anyone who fucks of without paying a fare as a thief. This random attack you speak of has a young man in a coma and is one of 400 violent attacks in a year, including one which left another young student dead. You say to them not to do it if they think it’s dangerous as though they enjoy driving around at 4am being abused by drunken shitheads and wondering which one of these cunts will be the one that pulls the knife. What other job would tolerate such violence?

I hate you. If you have a dog I hate it. I’m glad you lost your job. I hope you also lost your happiness and your soul you stupid cunt.

Please don¿t forget the men and women of our police, fire, ambulance and defense forces that are putting their lives at risk every day they go to work¿ you don¿t see them protesting.

Actually you do see emergency workers protesting and unlike the poor cabbies they get almost full public support when they do it - unlike cabbies these people are usually worried about pay and conditions. Yes their job is dangerous but everything is done to ensure their safety and they are paid very well, especially if they work the sort of hours taxi drivers work. You’re wrong Anthony. Fuck off.

95% of you taxi drivers are HOPELESS. You don’t know where you are going, you CANT DRIVE, you CANT SPEAK ENGLISH and a lot of you try and rip people off. You listen to your foreign music and talk on your mobile in a different language. You try and rip off the wrong type of person (someone who wont accept it) you can expect to get stabbed. The only taxi drivers that are good at their job are the ones that live here, and have for their whole life. They know how Australians act, they know how to speak to us and they know what language to speak in. They know we just want to get where we need to go and they don’t piss fart around with it. They also know LANDMARKS & POPULAR PLACES.

You’re absolutely right James. Fuck I don’t know why more of these foreigners aren’t bashed and stabbed. I had an Indian taxi driver the other day who spoke little English and the first thing that went though my mind as how much I wanted to beat him senseless into a coma and run away with his piss poor takings. 

You’re a vile, racist uncaring cunt who makes me ashamed to think I share the same drinking water as you. Get fucked. I hope next time you need a cab at night they all drive by you and then you get several layers of shit kicked out of by white kids wearing hoods who say all the right Aussie things to you as your body shuts down and you take your last putrid breath. I bet your mum hates you.

I will sentence the person who stabbed the cabbie to 2 days community work..

Fuck I hope this is a sarcastic remark about our justice system and not some kind of sick show of gratitude for the sick bastard who attempted to murder a foreign student. The part of me that sees good in people reckons that’s where you’re coming from, but your name “Australian judge of Australia” is a literary version of wearing an Aussie flag like a cape and abusing women in hijabs. I can’t believe the moderator allowed this comment.

Please go home! Make the government charter them a plane back to India and they can chant and run around with their tops off all day long BUT while their in our town they play by our rules. Cops, it’s time to get these clowns off the street, they’ve caused enough trouble for one day!!

You are a despicable piece of fetid, bleeding, TB-ridden shit! I hope you put your full name thinking it wouldn’t be published and that people who know you read it now know you for the narrow-minded fucktard that you really are. OUR rules are really working on OUR streets, aren’t they fuck wit?

OKAY, QUICK ,all the Australian Cabbies, get out there and earn a buck. Does the picture remind you of any other country. I don’t seem to be able to see many WHITE faces or chests there. Well the government let them in, I suppose now we have to put up with their fundamental views as well. If it were up to me, I would send them all home now and clear up the CBD. Why do we put up with the non english speaking, smelly taxi drivers, there must be hundreds of people out there who could and would drive cabs if the jobs were available.

What a charming fucking slut you are! God forbid anyone not of your skin should complain about their own lives being regularly threatened - and what fundamentalist views? I love how racists like you can’t even get the target of your shitful uneducated views right, you fucked up, stinking fascist bitch.

In Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom The Bell Tolls, about the Spanish Civil War, there’s an account by a woman from the Communist Republican side about how they dealt with fascists in their town, which included making them walk along a path lined with communists who beat the shit out of them to plunge to their deaths from a cliff at the end of the path. As more and more fascists were killed the crowd grew more blood thirsty to the point that most of the dead didn’t even reach the cliff. One thing that occurred before the killings was that they agreed no women or children would be killed - I’d make an exception for you, you fucking sick bitch.

How the fuck is this sort of comment allowed on the web site of a national newspaper. What a fucking disgrace Herald Sun!

I’ve had enough. I’ve wiped the bile away from my mouth, shaken the chunks off my shoes and now I’m off to get a kebab. I’m never reading the Herald Sun web site comments again.

Did I do the right thing?

I got on the train this morning, which had standing room only, and was saddened to see a pregnant lady, with a noticeable bump, standing. I’m not usually one to speak up about things but I found my self asking her, loud enough for all sitting near her, “has anyone offered you a seat”?

One woman immediately got up and apologised for not noticing and the pregnant lady took her seat. Well done that young woman. No well done the guys in sitting near her - fucking lazy pricks.

So, did I do the right thing. Was what I did a good thing to get a pregnant lady a seat, or did I potentially cause embarrassment to her and guilt to the woman who got up for her?

It could be defended as a noble act on my part, but it’s not like I was giving up a seat so maybe I should have just shut the fuck up.

But then the lady did get a seat and her unborn bub wasn’t exposed to being bumped by people, particularly fools who leave backpacks on in crowded trains.

Chair sniffing is the new turkey slap

The Age reports West Australian Opposition Leader Troy Buswell has broken down at a press conference and admitted he sniffed the chair of a female Liberal Party staffer for a laugh.

Imagine the chat with his advisers:

“Any skeletons in the cupboard that we should know about Troy - hookers, rent boys in toilets, chats with Brian Burke; the odd “where’s my fucking eggs bitch” violent tirade at the missus; locking your daughter up in a cellar and having seven children with her; impregnating teenagers in a polygamy compound, urinated on a police station or restaurant window; ever found with GHB on your self; shared crack and had a loud sex romp with Amy Winehouse, head-butted Scott West, organised a police escort for kd lang, submitted a Here’s Lookin At You letter to mX, been photographed with Brendan Nelson, appeared on Big Brother? Anything bad like that?

“Nah, I once sniffed some sheila’s chair as joke, but nothing will come of that.”

“Fair enough … was she good looking?”

 

 

Credit where it’s due

 

We’re always moaning on blogs, which face it, are a means to allow us to vent out frustration with the added bonus that a few people might read what ever it is you’re on about. So, for one night only I’m going to mention a few good things, starting with:

The Tullumarine/Calder Freeway Interchange

This is a piece of freeway design genius that has to be experienced to be believed. Once one of the worst freeway bottle necks in Melbourne it is now a free-flowing and impressive looking piece of road that connects two freeways and includes seem-less of and on ramps. Well done VicRoads!

Nathan Buckley, media commentator

I hate Collingwood and took perverse pleasure whenever Bucks did a hammy in his later years. I always figured him to be a hard, humourless bastard but through his football commentary duties with 3AW and Channel 7 Bucks has shown he’s quick witted, intelligent and of course highly informative and reasonably opinionated about our great game. Well done Bucks!

The potato cakes on Platforms 4 & 5, Flinders Street Station

These freshly made potato cakes are fish and chip shop quality despite being made in the pissy little kiosk. These are so yummy they kind of make you want your train to be delayed so you can get in line to get a few. Their popularity ensures you always get a fresh batch and the kiosk proprietors always ensure there are plenty on hand to satisfy the demand. Hopefully it’s like this on all the platforms. Well done couped up seller of battered tater!

The food trolley lady at work

It’s getting on lunchtime, you’re too busy to go down to the food court and you’re still hours away from getting the train to grab a quick potato cake. All of a sudden you hear “MORNING, MORNING TROLLEY” to find a feast of tempting fare including sandwiches, risottos, chicken schnitzel and “cheesy balls” for around the $5 mark. Well done mobile vendor of lunchtime joy!

Srabulous on Facebook

In which I just whipped the arse of Grods Goddess Bron. Well done Wah!

Please feel free to recommend anything that genuinely deserves credit.

 

For the sake of Australian politics, Turnbull has to strike now

I saw Malcolm Turnbull on the 7.30 Report tonight. Yes he’s a pompous Liberal git, but he’s got a presence that makes you want to hear what he has to say even of you don’t necessarily agree.

Whereas Brendan Nelson is about as attractive to listen to as a piss-crusted tramp asking for a cigarette.

Interesting that when Kerry O’Brien put this to Turbull, in a different manner of course, Turnbull replied with: “What I can say is that Brendan as the full support of the Party … “.

Is this as opposed to ‘What I will say is that Nelson is a fucktard with an extremely large forehead and once I get the numbers I’m going to fuck him good with one of his six guitars”?

Honestly Libs, don’t wait for the Budget or Liberal by-election, do the spill now.

P.S. Keep Julie Bishop as deputy leader, she a hottie.

 

I might be drawing a long bow here …

I noted comments on the Herald Sun web site about the Olympic Torch Relay and the huge turnout of Chinese nationals in Canberra to support their government. Some people took this as an affront to Australia, as though what they were doing was against our national interests.

People couldn’t understand why Chinese Australians would want to celebrate the Beijing Olympics torch relay and show support for their country.

I find that a curious attitude when you consider the thousands of Australians who are gathering to celebrate Anzac Day in Turkey, France, England and even the US.

Why are we shocked about Club 21 when it simply echoes popular culture?

A story broke today about about a Queensland Catholic school with student club called Club 21 where membership is dependent on being one of the cool, good-looking chicks.

According to the Herald Sun web site:Year 11 girls from the co-educational St Patrick’s College in the central Queensland city of Mackay are ranked according to looks, weight and their popularity with boys.
Members of the elite club, dubbed “Club 21″ or “Big 21″, parade their ranking from one to 21 on their wrists.
The skinnier and prettier the girl, the higher her rank.
One respondent to an internet forum on the issue said: “Ugly girls need not apply.”

The school’s principal has rightly defended his students to the ever judgemental talk-back media saying “‘in’ groups and ‘cool’ groups had always existed in schools”.

Girls have always had cliques and hierarchies and this as shown in every second teen movie and TV show such as Sleepover Club,  St Trinians, Hairspray, Lizzie McGuire, Clueless, Heathers, Hannah Montana and of course Mean Girls  - it’s worth noting that in most of these it’s the so-called ordinary girls who come out winners.

If anything the outrage at Club 21 is patronising towards those who are supposedly not pretty enough (yet) to qualify in that it seems to endorse the view that looks are the most important thing for a girl to have.  Would there be outrage against a club for smart, sporty or emo kids only?

I bet Club 21 is despised by more girls than it is envied. As one student wrote on an internet forum: ”They are a group of year 11 girls at St Pats who think they are top but really pathetic sociopathic sluts.”

Go to Gallipoli any day but Anzac Day

One of the first things that struck me was there were no birds. In fact, apart from the wind and the gentle lapping of the water on to the pebbled beach at Anzac Cove, there wasn’t a sound to be heard as though, even 90 years after the last shots were fired at Gallipoli, the birds still know to stay away.

The silence is as moving as Attaturk’s message to the Anzacs and the lines of graves of dead teenagers. For this place to be exclusive to the handful of us who were there seemed like a privilege and in no time you’re consumed by the quiet and able to communicate and share emotions without saying a single word.

This is what makes Gallipoli so special, which is why I  don’t understand why anyone would want to share it with tens of thousands of others on Anzac Day, where that spiritual calm is lost in an almost theme park atmosphere.

I write this because Victoria University academic and Gallipoli expert Anne-Marie Hede, has called to put an end to the annual Anzac celebrations at Anzac Cove because it’s becoming unsustainable with thousands of tourists, big screens, seating, lighting and portable toilets ruining Anzac Cove.

Professor Hede will probably cop a barrage for suggesting Anzac Day celebrations remain in Australia, but while I gree with her I don’t write this to defend her but to recommend that it’s the peaceful solitude is what makes Gallipoli so eerily sacred and not the day that we have chosen to celebrate it.

The courage, suffering and death didn’t stop after April 25, which is why every day at Gallipoli is sacred, as the various dates on the headstones testify.
