Hard News: New Old Left?, in reply to Rich Lock,
Apparently, there’s some people there who aren’t 100% white or something.. Who knew?
It’s almost as though this racially pure utopia she yearns for doesn’t exist or something.
I still find it funny that she insists she was defending “Australia’s” culture, then decided Britain was a better place to live, surrounded by a purer version of the “same” culture. I know the racist subtext is obvious, but I can’t even begin to understand how anyone would believe One Nation was interested in “culture” after that performance.

Up Front: That's Inappropriate!, in reply to JackElder,
Give your kids French names when you have absolutely no connection with France, and you’re a solid upper-middle class taxpayer.
Oi! My very blue collar parents would like to have a quiet word with you, Mr Elder.

Up Front: That's Inappropriate!, in reply to Lucy Stewart,
If every generation actually got as much crazier as its parents’ generation alleged, starting with the first recorded compaint of this type (Socrates, I believe), by now society should have decayed into such a state of anarchistic, hedonistic immorality that civilisation itself should have collapsed. And yet here we all are. Odd, isn’t it?
As a counterexample, I submit the continued success of Soulja Boy. The End Times are truly upon us, Lucy.
(Kidding, I generally take the same view of "moral decline"-it's not a function of actual degeneracy at all, just a result of people growing older and becoming aware of things that they were shielded from as youngsters.)

Brian Edwards' post on the matter genuinely dumbfounded me. Gobs were smacked.
I didn't even realise we were still living in the 50's. I know I did a few hallucinogenics in my early twenties, but really, to get the date wrong by sixty years? I must remember to thank my dealer the next time he's out of jail.

Hard News: Do you like what we've done…, in reply to Sacha,
"Subscriptions" to threads might be even better than favourites the way that most forums implement it: you can subscribe to threads and they end up in your "watch" list. Posting in a thread would automatically add it to the subscription list.

I know there's still an issue with Gravatar not updating correctly. If you've changed your email address since first registering with PAS, Gravatar won't update your icon on here when you update it via the Gravatar website. I've had a display pic with Gravatar since 2007, but I'm reasonably sure I first signed up to PAS with my old work email addy rather than my Gmail.
I'm honestly not this grey in real life.

Love it!
One thing I notice, though (and this is a holdover from the old site) is that embedded Youtube videos in a page cause the page to endlessly show the loading icon and process bar on FF 3.X.

Willie never really came down off the high that was Charles in Charge:
New boy in the neighborhood
Lives downstairs and it is understood.
He’s there just to take good care of me,
Like he’s one of the family.Charles in Charge
Of our days and our nights

Of our wrongs and our rightsAnd I sing, I want,
I want Charge in Charge of me.Charles in Charge

I want Charge in Charge of me. -
Every Canadian I have met has been deeply ashamed. It's like their default setting or something.
