The Cultural Imperialism Cringe

[waitingman]

For a nation built on the backs of Englands criminal working class, which likes to think it's come so far, I present the evidence to the contrary...

News stories like this & this drive me to despair. I just don't know where to begin trying to understand the breakdown of South-Western (Sydney) civilisation.

It's things like this that make me think of applying the ancient Romans Carthage solution to Sydney's south-west. Burn it down, salt the earth, scatter the populace...

I have to dispute the first article as I share a brief anecdote from my highschool days: I almost had the cops called on me by the school counsellor because of a lather large steaming pile I told her. Ok I was there because I supposedly 'had trouble fitting in' - hence some compulsory time out of classes. In the end she tried telling them I was a drug-addled-rapist-klemptomanic-pyromaniac-with-delusions-of-necrophilia, with a straight to the Principal and Vice-Principal. Needless to say, they decided that I didn't need to see the counsellor any more.

Delusions of necrophilia?

I can't remember the exact quote, but it was something along the lines of "I don't think I could do it myself, but fucking a corpse would be fun!"

Not that I'm a trouble-maker ;)

You do have to wonder if it's something in the water.
