LOL I've got another one:
1960: Johnny does a burnout in his dads XK Falcon. Local copper gives him a smack across the back of the head. 2007: Jonny does a burnout in his dads BF Falcon. Special Hoon Squad appears with helicopter and tanks and arrests Johnny. Johnny serves time in prison for being a menace to society and his dads car is crushed. All week media has a beat up on hoons and how they are the antichrist. Government changes laws so all cars are limited to 80kays an hour and V8's and Turbos are banned for anybody under 70. Friends of Johnny are given counselling sessions. Harold Scuby is elected Prime Minister. |

Scanario: Phill gets bullied for 3 months and finally calls bully a 's h i t h e a d'
1960: Nobody even knows about it except the two kids involved 2007 (1990s actually): Phill is suspended for three days for use of obscene language. bully gets off. Phill and his Dad have to attend a meeting with principal, form master, social worker, and two other councilors before Phill is allowed back in class. *sidenote: Phill's dad horrifies all eggheads present by turning a 15 minute meeting into almost 45 minutes by giving them a grilling about their lack of a clue and how they are actually giving these kids what they want.....3 days off school.

So true.
What a sad world we live in. While there's a lot of good, life was more care free back in the old days (the stories from older folk sound good).

That is so close to the truth it's scary.
Personal example: early 70's, too young to have a drivers license but old enough to own a rifle and regularly go bunny busting out the back of Sofala. (near Bathurst). One time o mate managed to accidentally shoot me in the leg, still got the scar to prove it. Nothing serious but as the bullet was lodged in the leg needed a trip to hospital. Get to hospital, explain the situation, got bullet removed. Local Bathurst cop attended to take report. When hearing what had happend he simply said "well that'll teach ya to be more careful next time" and left it at that. Nothing more was ever said. Had the same thing happened today one can only imagine what the consequences would be. |

Just a bit of an extention to the first one mate.
Johnny and Mark get into a fistfight after school. 1960 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up mates. 2007 - Crowd gathers, Johnny arrives ready for the fight. Mark arrives with about 10 of his mates. Johnny it flogged while Mark watches. Why cant we just do it like it used to be done in the 60's.

year 10 and 11 students catch the whole thing on their mobile phone. each and everyone of them is arrested and charged with MANUFACTURING CHILD PRON. the problem with people/kids today is they never got the slap on the ars when they deserved it. plain and simple. look at the previous generations and how they turned out, now its "cant hit your kids", look what the youth of today has to bring to the table. anyone that calls it child abuse needs a slap up the side of the head as well for producing little brats that know they can do anything they want with little to no consequences. |
