not being able to post
where is the freedom of extract speech

[Bum]

[EDIT: Sorry, board. I've deleted my post and have blocked him. No more outbursts from me.]

[EDIT2: Um, well I'll try but I shouldn't promise anything for when I'm pissed.]

[Anna]

Love ya Bum! By his posts, it seems like he's mostly more pissed than you ever could be!

[warra48]

I won't comment on Speedie's brewing expertise or otherwise, but am I the only one who thinks he/she might not really be an Aussie, inspite of what he/she says?

His/her posts read like Hongkongese translated through an online translator, hence the absence of capitals, commas, stops, paragraphs etc, and the gobbledegooked grammar?

I might be totally off the mark, but it's fun to speculate.

[Anna]

I think he's just pissed and illiterate - have a look at the times he/she posts! Late night drinking sessions?

[Tipsy]

Love ya Bum!

Who's bum are you looking at Anna?

[Bum]

Nah, Warra. I reckon you're on a wrong'un there. He's the archetypical too-smart-to-learn-anything bogan. He'd be proud of his unwillingness to communicate effectively.

[Anna]

Love ya Bum!

Who's bum are you looking at Anna?

You guys kill me!

Good old 'Mailmarshall' blocked the first link, but I had a look at the second and couldn't read any more than one sentence - I came over all nauseous and headachey!

[earle]

The second one has a translation down the bottom. I wonder if google can translate bogan like it translates other languages?

[Anna]

It's enough to make me trade in my black jeans and Ug boots!

Wow. I've never seen that before - the first paragraph is kinda spooky given the context.

[earle]

Sort of reminds me of the communication skills of the individuals that I saw at a shopping centre once. The two groups were sitting on tables a few metres apart. First group yells at 2nd group "What the F#@K are you looking at?". Second group came back with the equally witty reply "What the F#@K are you looking at?" And then the exchange repeated from the beginning again. I wonder if they're still there trying to reconcile their differnences?

[Bum]

If only they'd gone to the OPSM instead of the food court that whole exchange might have been much more pleasant.

And since when did Australia have freedom of speech?

Doesn't anyone read the Constitution any more?

[Bum]

The Constitution says nothing of my right to correct people on the Internet but it is clearly something I am allowed to do.

You can do it, but don't count on the Constitution to back you up

The High court may help you out on that one. It is kind of funny that we are the only 'Western' country
that doesn't guarantee that right in our Constitution.

chris if you have control of the delete key you have freedom of speach!
