Evl I'd love to reply about how I grew up on the coast and know it inside out, about today's news story how it's the mortgage arrears capital of oz (ie too many living beyond means/keeping up the illusion) but I'm done with this thread. Too much pushing sh!t uphill without a paddle. Too much effort not replying to marks final racist hook he's danglin. Too much brain explodey at the final incomprehensible twist from OP.
No, no. We've come too far to stop now!

I suspect the mortgage arrears has come about because of the high number of people that live on the coast that either rely on a) construction and or b) tourism. Both of which have suffered in recent times. ie they were living within their means until the source of their means dried up. And of course tradies and tourists are hardly the Hollywood lifestyle.

Out of curiosity do you think this thread is racist?
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/General-Discussion/Chat/One-hit-chow-wonder/And did you find Australia (Adelaide) in general racist?
Anonymous Kim says:Ummmm..
dun really know which part is supposed to be racist..
i mean.. racism in general.. I'm not very sensitive in that area.. -_-;
as for my life in Adelaide.. I think from the 4 years that I lived in Adelaide.. I think I only felt it at the end.. when I got into a car accident and stuff.. apart from that.. nahhh
some times.. I do have friends.. they would say oh this was such a racist remark n stuff.. but I don't know.. I don't really get it.. sometimes I feel it too but i feel.. that there's no point in showing any reaction to it
EP says:I think it was referring to the title: "On Hit Chow Wonder".
Anonymous Kim says:hmmmm
EP says:hmmmm
Personally I think it's very mild at worst. It's not putting anyone intoa work camp.
Anonymous Kim says:yeah, n seriously.. if u start saying oh this is so racist.. this n that about every little thing.. god damn it. we will prob need to just shut up
EP says:Looking for racist stuff is often the most racist thing that one can do, instead of ignoring it?
Anonymous Kim says:yeah, seriously~
hahahahahah
i don't know
EP says:whoop-de-doo?
Anonymous Kim says:i think I kinda ignore it.. but most of the time.. i don't realize it -_-;;
as it is.. there's so much **** to get angry about everyday.. if i started getting pissed off on racist comments.. i think i would seriously pass out
yay~
EP says:ok. but onto more pressing issues.
What's with the "V"ictory sign you guys always do in every photo you ever take of each other?
Anonymous Kim says:lolz...!!! as for the "V"ictory sign.. dunno.. some times.. u just feel awkward takin a picture.. n it just happens.. -_-;; that's my case.. dunno about others.. some would think that it's cute.. hahaha but even in Korea.. like my friends at least.. don't do that much
I think that's what a lot of people are saying in this thread. It's often just better to ignore it. And it's often just PC zealousiousness... ness. Title is mildly derogatory, but this is a (mostly) Australian male sports oriented forum. It's not the BBC. And as you can see from the general reaction there's no actual hatred going on.
Peace y'all.
