Thank you for the reply that not only backs up my words on Adelaide with wisdom, but experience from other cities within Aus.

Only through this site has I come to learn that alot of other people hate living in Adelaide. Funny thing is one time I posted a link to this rant in an Adelaide message forum (to stir things up) and it was scoffed at.

"Why continue to live here then?"

"Oh his literacy skills suck"

"Heaps good"

Pitiful shit you'd expect from an angry Adelaide type person ey. Concentrate on my writing flaws because you know I'm fucking right.

It seems as though you are experiencing similar situations to what I endured 18 years ago. Fortunately, I departed from Adelaide (A.K.A Land of a Thousand Murderers) in 1993. If it is any help, Psydney and Brisbollocks are just as bad in their own ways. I've lived in both places too long to know that the vacuous surburban lifestyles and their accoutrements in those places are coming to a slow but apocalyptic end.

I'd guess that much of the human tsunami from Adelaide ended up in the two aforementioned cities, judging from the machismo, general arrogance, culture of celebrity, pretentious class attitudes etc. exhibited in many people interstate - and these aren't necessarily 'Anglo-Australians' either. Could it be that 'Adelaide' is a world wide phenomenon? I'll leave the readers to ponder that one!

Adelaide is beautiful? Yes, but it lacks proverbial soul and inner beauty.

I can't continue forever on this subject (too complex and long); however, I know I can 'Google' 'Adelaide Pathetic' or some such phrase and still find replies like your own. It tells me many things, but more importantly it demonstrates that I wasn't so puerile (as many there tried to pretend I was) for holding my worldview, despite the general populace then.

Good luck!

fuck man i hate muslims HATE them!
every fucking day without fail i see a woman in a fucking ninja mask! and robes and shit!
Newcastle is flooded with them too, and i hate how they get everything from the government, thats fucked!

i dont care anymore either, if i'm being racist, so fucking be it!
Australia: RIP

fuck! the government gives these assholes enough money! i wish they would all fuck off!

Cheers Josh.

I've been working on it man. I tell ya... there's hundreds more that didn't make it through the filter. It's fucked... the more traffic I get the more of this shit I get too. Fucking spammers indeed. Some cunts need to get a life.

Just wanted to let you know (you've probably seen them already) that there are spam comments on your page about dating sites and charities and such.

Fucking annoying it is too. Hope you delete them! There are bound to be ways to make your page spam-proof, but I wouldn't have the first idea as to how to go about doing it.

Hmm, that was xenophobic scaremongering , yet we could say that Australia is at risk of being swamped by Asians, due to our geographic location. It does unfortunately overlook basic sociological theories. One theory states that once a population enters a first world status, birth rate declines dramatically. The only way to sustain the population is by migration from third world countries. Third world countries have to have a high birth rate to sustain their population due to high mortality. Funnily enough, another theory states that there is a decline in traditional religious beliefs in first world countries. Since Islam is a religious belief, perhaps there would be a decline in this uptake.

What my belief is that religion itself is something we should be greatly concerned with, especially when mixed with politics. Adelaide is a prime example of what happens when this occurs. We have religious fundies infesting politics and influencing it, gradually removing our democratic rights in favour of a totalitarian regime. All this under the guise of 'protecting the children'. I don't know if this is true, but Hitler supposedly said that people would accept the inherent loss of freedoms under the guise of state 'trying' to protect the children. If this is true, here we are today in a so called 'democratic country' slowly falling into a fascist Nazi regime thanks to the religious fucks in our government.

Just recently I've read that the government wants to set up an online ombudsman trawling online social networks for 'appropriate content'. While it may help reduce some absolutely fowl content, what else may this form of censorship stop? Political viewpoints perhaps? The road to hell is paved with good intentions. People actually fought and died under our flag to prevent this happening here, and now some 1/2 a century later it's happening again, and we have the religious fucks to thank for it. Scary stuff.

So much for separation of church and state. I really tend to think that fascist religions are our greatest enemy, not terrorists or foreigners. I just wish sheeple realise before it's too late, that it has gone beyond the realms of being isolated pockets of religious fruitcakes, to quickly becoming an insidious virus infesting and influencing every part of everyone's lives. God help us.

Yeah there's no point whining about technological evolution (read up on Raymond Kurzweil's theory and predictions on the technological singularity). Even now there is a new technology using a red laser (instead of a blue one) that is around 10x more powerful than blu-ray (IE: a lot more capacity). You will never, ever keep up. Deal. That's just a basic fact of life and technological progression.

Have you watched a Blu-Ray with the full set-up? Now I am as cynical as they come - especially when it comes to movies and TV - but FUCK man, you can see all these amazing nuances in peoples expressions. My main love is the fact that the audio is uncompressed - it is simply jaw-dropping.

In terms of your DVD/Blu-Ray image 'comparison' you do realise that your computer is not capable of getting anywhere near the level of definition of a Full HD screen. It is literally impossible for you to see the difference on your screen as the resolution is no where near high enough.

IE: By definition you can't see the difference on your computer screen. It does not possess enough pixels. It does not render to that level. It is IMPOSSIBLE.

If you're in my neck of the woods rock over and I'll introduce you to it all. It is the fucking goods. Who doesn't want higher quality audio and video? I'm so excited about the fact that I will soon hear music totally uncompressed - the quality of a CD will be laughed at.

Yep, that's what happens when we have a duopoly for shopping in Little Ole Adelaide. Being a second generation, Agrarian southern European, I was raised on home grown veggies. I can tell you without a doubt that the putrid, rotting, flavourless trash that the big two tout as 'fresh' is downright criminal. Nothing I've purchased from them or even market gardeners comes close to the quality you can grow yourselves. Unfortunately, we're either too lazy, tired or haven't enough space to grow our own to be totally self-sufficient.

I like every other person, am as much to blame as those purveyors of rotting crap. Unfortunately, most sheeple out there have been bred to accept this garbage as premium, and not demand anything better. I know that those European countries raised in a high standard, culinary culture demand decent food products. Due to our tasteless British heritage, we've inherited their inferior food quality. I remember seeing a documentary where they were talking about the quality of British veg, using tomatoes as a prime example. They took a sample to Spaniards to try, resulting in nearly all of them almost turning green and instinctively spitting it out. Explaining that the Spaniards wouldn't stand for this type of inferior product.

They mentioned that in order for food to be available all year round, the food is picked while green and unripe, frozen till when it's needed (up to 12 months), and then artificially ripened with chemical gasses when the product isn't naturally available. Tomatoes are picked for so they could literally bounce when dropped, due to the sheeple's demands.

I'll cherish the day when some multinational decides to muscle in on our greedy duopoly, and actually give us a bit of competition.

This has somewhat worried me, being a frequent patron of Woolworths, due to their somewhat lower-than-usual prices (at least the one I shop at.) I'll be certain to be extra careful the next time I bite into an apple!

I guess this is symptomatic of all supermarket chains. I'd say that 99% (I'm pulling this statistic straight out my arse) of food nowadays has a million different chemicals in it. Some of this is to keep the food fresher and edible for a longer period of time, due to the average person being lazy and wanting convenience in all things, including food. Its what the people want!*

Unfortunately, unless you are willing to either: a) pay exorbitant prices for foods that AREN't mass-produced on a factory line, or, b) live out in the wild and hunt your own food, there really isn't a lot you can do about it.

Did you take the apple back and demand a refund? if you kept the receipt and showed them that apple, denying a refund of your money is a flagrant disregard for your rights as a consumer, and is blatantly illegal.

Anyway, kudos for another informative (and entertaining) rant.

* People are stupid, selfish, mindless fuckwits.

I agree completely sir.

I guess the whole thing is eating used to be hard work. You caught your food, washed it, prep'd it, cooked it. It was all you baby. Whereas now we have all our pretty little pre-packaged meals and we know nothing of what goes into it. We will all pay a big price for our laziness - our health!

I haven't taken it back yet man but I've kept and I will certainly be raising some points. A simple refund wont do... I have many questions and without answers I won't rest satisfied.

I'm digging the use of asterix's in the comments - keep it up cunt haha.

No worries mate~

You're right man, normal is a horrible word.

Half the rant's point is why everything needs to be classified on a level of "normal". A dick's a dick. It's a elongated lump of muscle and the variation of DNA is endless... so why start suggesting any part of the human body could be "normal".

Yet again we have a situation where the media knows they can manipulate minds to make some fucking cash. Greed is destroying the world. Countless insecure people being targeted and made to feel "different" - which a larger portion of the world's population seems to fear - just so money can be made.

"Normal" is in the eye of the beholder. Anyway, as far as that article goes, I guess as long as your dick isn't something ridiculous like two inches, you've got nothing to worry about. And it is true... knowing how to use it is 95% of the battle won.

"Normal." What a horrible word.

haha fantastic fucking comment. What would a guy do without his loyal readers and their sharp, unrelenting cynicism!

Well... let's face it... if a guy knows how to use his tongue - you've got it in the bag.

For Crying Out Loud, how many Indian students have been assaulted?? 3 perhaps. Ok, one was murdered, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we're actively targeting them.

All this came about because the son of a prominent and rich politician got slain, and the Indian media decided to roll with it, and whip up an exaggerated frenzy. Now from what I can gather, it's not uncommon for the Indian media to instigate mass unrest and hysteria. The Australian media decided to get in on the act and over inflated the 'Racially targeted Indian Student Assaults Statistics'. Then the general sheeple of both continents just swallowed it all, and presto instant racially motivated violence, induced paranoia. Thanks once again to the clearly amoral media drumming up sales.

The truth of the matter is that like Bludge said, Indian students are no more targeted than any other student. Any foreign student is usually considered an easy target by the unscrupulous clearly due to the perception of them having money. While some of this is true, most of the time it isn't. Indian's here have just jumped on the bandwagon, due to some perceived threat or disadvantage and of course the media just laps it up. The vast majority of them have never experienced racially motivated violence, and are just whinging because of being disgruntled with their life/work/other prospects.

Like Bludge said, this hasn't put a dampener on the mass migration of Indian/foreign students occupying most positions at Unis. I have first hand experienced the preference of Unis for full fee paying foreigners over Australian citizens, and I find it absolutely repugnant. So much for equality in access. Unfortunately, we're now reaping the rewards for the Uni's greed. Look at any hospital, medical or legal profession, and one will find most of the higher positions are held by non-English speaking people. I'm all for equal opportunity, but if a doctor is able to gain Australian qualifications from an Australian University, and to treat people in Australia, they should at least have BASIC literacy and English skills. I don't want to have a doctor look at me in a similar way to the puzzled looks I get from the cabbie that drove me to the hospital.

What a crock. Actually, that's a non-article, piece of journalistic fluff and tripe that clogs up the Internet, only serving to instill insecurities and angst among those shallow yet feeble minded mush-heads.

A pox on that and the bullshit this person excretes. The truth of the matter is women more often than not prefer girth over length. Something that's missing from this garbage. Plus, the majority of women can't handle anything over 8 inches. Even if your lucky enough to have those extra two inches, your fairly limited on what you can do with it, before it becomes painful. Finally, most guys don't even know what to do with their tools anyway, and think that jackhammering away is sufficient. Ask most blokes where a chick's G spot is, and more often than not they will thinks it's a place on their own dicks.

That being said, I'm perfectly happy with my sufficient equipment.

"As for my point on the people being so defeated. I'm only stating what I see as a fact. People are just so happy to shut the fuck up and put up with it and hide in their safe little homes. But you're right - people power is a formidable force! Unfortunately I really do honestly feel too many people are happy to turn a blind eye so they can continue living their fake "comfortable" lives of clearance sales, designer labels and brainless blockbuster films!"

I agree with you 100%.

To your list of "comforting distractions" that are provided for people to keep them from getting mad at the bullshit going on right under their noses I will add SPORT. I think that it's a particularly nasty one.

How many Australians are completely obsessed with the sport news and the gossip of the trouble that the sport stars are getting into?

Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying ignore the sport that gives you so much pleasure to watch and follow... but be mindful that while we're focused on "whatever sporting event" or "whatever sporting season" we're not keeping an eye on the thugs who are running the show.

It's such a shame that parliament is seen as being so boring for so many people. It's worrying that so many of us don't really understand how parliaments and governments function or how they're supposed to function. It's sickening that we encourage those wielding the power to tighten their grip because we're so obviously uninformed and distracted and willing to buy any old rubbish which makes us feel good (or if we're not willing to buy, we simply rant).

And all of this does look like defeat, I completely agree.

The point I am making is that each of us can put the breaks on our own path towards destruction. If one guy does, and explains to the next guy what's happening and how to apply the breaks, and that guy goes on and explains it to his mates and so forth we can always turn the tide.

It won't be easy, the powers that be will try all manner of tactics to prevent a movement of shaking up the status quo from gathering momentum, but in the end, if enough of us are informed and are willing to ask the tough questions, and hold onto the truth (no matter what the truth may be) their efforts will be in vain.

People have the power. The government is the servant. Right now, the servant is giving the master the orders, and robing him blind in the process. The master is you and me people. What I'd like is to get our unruly servants under control once again!

How can that be done?????

Well, I don't really have the answer to that. But some of the steps necessary seem clear enough:
- Be brave: Step out of your comfort zone.
- Be informed: Read, talk, listen. Try and work out exactly what's going on.
- Be critical: Don't just believe what your told by anyone - do your own homework.
- Be heard: visit your representatives, or give them a phone call or an email or something. Let them know when they do something which pisses you off!

hah Ey man... you might be onto something with not voting for me ey. I sweat too easily to wear a fuckin tie anyways ey.

I understand your points and I kinda think I was trying to suggest that our tax money isn't going anywhere, like you're saying - ya dig?

As for my point on the people being so defeated. I'm only stating what I see as a fact. People are just so happy to shut the fuck up and put up with it and hide in their safe little homes. But you're right - people power is a formidable force! Unfortunately I really do honestly feel too many people are happy to turn a blind eye so they can continue living their fake "comfortable" lives of clearance sales, designer labels and brainless blockbuster films!

Hi Bludge,

I take my hat off to you for having the balls to run such an offensive site in this day of age where we live in a "politically correct" nightmare. I agree with much of what you've said in this rant. However, having said that, I would not vote you for prime minister! My reasons are numerous and solid but I won't put them down here, for that's not the reason I post this comment (perhaps we can have a lively debate about who would be good for prime minister some other time).

I post this comment to address two of the issues you've brought up: taxation and people power.

First, taxation. You said: "I understand running a country costs alot of money, but don't we all pay our taxes to pay for these things?"

Well let me tell ya somethin' sonny Jim...

The Australian Taxation Office is 'somewhat less than legal': check it out for yourself:

-This vid explains how Australians were hoodwinked in 1999 with the republican referendum, and how the ATO isn't really legitimate.

-This vid is a distilled version of the above vid.

This documentary shows how something similar was done in the USA almost 100 years ago, (this is a long one, but make some time in the near future to watch it, your life won't be the same when you see how the world is falling into the pockets of world bankers).

So, addressing your point: yes we pay taxes, but without fair and just taxation laws, and with no transparency into the RBA or the ATO, we really don't know where our hard earned taxes are going. Do we just assume that everything is above board and that none of our tax revenue is being misused? How much trust do you give to the politician or the government agent, when they say "Trust us, everything is fine"?

I urge anyone who is concerned about their individual freedom to familiarise themselves with the information presented in the videos above, and to do their own research... you might be shocked by what you uncover.

Anyway, enough about taxation...

The second issue you brought up that I want to address: "...we're all so fucking defeated by a neglectful system..."

We're subliminally conditioned to feel that we're defeated, but we're not! There are more of us than there are them! If the public is informed, if the people know that the government is their servant, if we all insist that our government be honest and transparent with us, then we'll be taking back the control over our government that we lost somewhere along the way.

The fact is: people power is a formidable force! Don't let the "powers that be" convince you otherwise.

Fuck yeah! I'll watch.

man this guy is a fuckwit!

give us an R rating for games and you wont get all those letters cocksucker!
damn, i can't stand politicians!

i hate this bitch!

overrated whore and fucking gross too!

you would get my vote for sure man!

She starred in one of the shittest adaptation/remakes in movie history. She's ugly as fuck. And now reading this, it makes me hate her more. What a fucking loser. I feel like punching her fucking head in till my knuckles bleed....

Ey man - hook me up with one of those dartboards!! You should start mass producing those things -a killing could be made! AIIIEEEEEE!

W00o0o! Spread the word! I'm running in the next election! hahaha

This cunt just doesn't know when to shut the fuck up. Sorry about the obscenities, but geez, what's it going to take to get rid of this rotting pile of cat vomit. So according to him, gamers are worse than bikers, after all they just sit in their lounge rooms with controllers, and that somehow is more evil than mass producing brain fizzing drugs, and blowing people away in public. Yep, that's right, in Atkinson's world they are.

I'm honestly awaiting one of those online flash games where you can forcibly insert various prickly shaped objects into his rectum.

Until this time, I guess the photo on dartboard will have to suffice.

I can't really think of much to say to this at the moment, but you raise some good points, and you'd definitely have my vote for Prime Minister.

Oh please, as if she even knows what food tastes like, due to her surviving taste buds would be so used to to the flavours of fingers and gastric acid. Going by how most starlets gain their fame, I very much doubt she even still retains the ability to physically form form any resemblance to flatulence, before it just falls out with her other bowel contents, onto the floor below her. She did however provide useful when needing to open beer bottles with her larynx - internally.

Oh god... don't even mention 3DTV - what a wallet fuck. All the people that rush and buy that shit can, in 5 years, throw it in the pile with their rear-projection TVs, Blu-Ray players, large frame plasmas and their vibrating cock rings.

If Avatar wins best picture - I have officially given up on Hollywood. Some people have become so detached from their own identity as an individual that they simply sit around awaiting hype for the next "big thing" and refuse to not flock out to it.

I share those reservations my friend... this race is done for.

Just wanted to let you know (you've probably seen them already) that there are spam comments on your page about dating sites and charities and such.

Fucking annoying it is too. Hope you delete them! There are bound to be ways to make your page spam-proof, but I wouldn't have the first idea as to how to go about doing it.

I'm having a good laugh reading some of your musings, and some of them are making me think also. You have a way with words, especially on your reviews, which in most cases are spot on (I love Home Alone, although I agree with most of the points on your review.)

Also, just wanted to point out a site that you may or may now know already:

www.itsonlyamovie.co.uk/page1.htm

A lot of good information on horror movies, and some decently-sized coverscans for use as wallpaper etc. Its only amusing to have a look at "The Banned List" to see which particular movies caused quite an upset amongst the moral majority back in the 80's, especially as some of those movies (the ones I've seen anyway) are quite tame. "The Gestapo's Last Orgy?" heh. The Exploitation, or, Nazi-sploitation genre is always good for a chuckle.

Perhaps you can add it to your links page?

Cheers!
