my rant
ok this is not about the loose usage of 'nazi' but in the same vein.
I'm doing the Deborah Harry thing to my hair, very very blonde. I have been approached a couple of times by 'nazi' types! ARGH.
The last time was only about a fortnight ago when I was on the bus. A a balding, slightly plump middle aged man plodded up the aisle and sat down next to me. He spoke with some type of european accent came at sat next to me and told me an anti-semetic joke. What a wanker! I had to laught at him because of all the blondes you could sit next to and try to impress with racist humour he chose the one with a jewish mother.
Unfortunately I think many people have learnt little from our lessons in history class about the atrocities of WWII. (well any war really)
Look at how anti-muslim alot of Australia is now. You hear dumb rumours abotu christmas being banned at child care centres. Hello? Muslems believe J.C existed, they don't object to a bit of Christmas. (but hang on don't most of us scoff at the christmas decorations in Myer at the end of September?) Heard the one about the public swimming pool in Port Hedland how it is closed down one day a week so the female refugees can bathe without being seen by men? Its bullshit! A good friend of mine lives in P.H, her husband is a landscaper for the council, yes works on the garden at the pool and they confirmed the rumour is just dumb shit motherfuckers make up when they are bored.
(yeah, and thats a really tame urban myth about muslems. I know theres worse)
I'm really anti-war, I could harp on for ages why wars are so wrong. I have relatives so fucked up from WWII, being in work and cencentration camps in Europe, Changi, or just serving in the forces. These people are not normal, they are scarred more than I can comprehend. I've met an old man that was in Dresden when it was firebombed. A lot of people are so greedy, perhaps if they sincerely respected the hard times of our elders and our ancestors there would be less greed and less war.
Mountain bikes are so great because you don't have to pour petrol inside of them.
I sound like a hippy!
