Hand up, I'll apologise for HOW I conveyed a few things, due in large part that some of this hits close to home personally. I'd just ask some here to consider the people behind whatever derogatory labels you want to throw at them, that while you take umbradge at a multi millionaire being taken...

Surprise, I have read through the 6 pages, it wasn't that hard... but I notice you can't disagree with my comments it's been all complaining with no new suggestions = most of the internet. Anyway I'm sure ALL of us are tired of this back and forth, so I'll do everyone a favour. Best of luck...

Lol. This whole thread had been about a bunch of old guys complaining about everything from "wokeness", to "cancel culture" - probably "me too" in there I'm sure - to having the Sydney Mardi Gras on TV because they don't like it (I just change the channel when I don't like something), with not...

And yet still no alternatives to what you're complaining about in 6 pages of this thread. Sorry you don't like someone with a differing viewpoint entering your echo chamber, I'd say many here better get used to it as the younger generation come through. Best of luck lads! :cool:

And ignoring the damage those in power not wanting to provide equality and equal opportunities for all even more so. And as per every other comment in this thread, only "Nah I don't like that", with no alternative idea(s) of any kind. Same old same old. So I guess we've reached the limit of...

All I read here is whining from those that don't like change, or the way that change is being brought about. But the facts are that many minorities are still discriminated against, still do not have the same opportunties as many others, still face hostilities from both people and institutions...

If the consensus of this thread meant anything aside from faceless individuals ranting (myself included) the last election certainly wouldn't have gone the way it did. 🤣 In case you missed it, the majority of Aussie voters don't want the same old, same old, they're impatient for change. And I'm...

So those being discriminated against, those in some instances facing real harm from how they're being treated or restricted, they just have to wait until those in power deem it's time to do something? That's been our problem for centuries, and you know what they say about repeating the same...

It happened because they were forced to change due to voters and other pressures, and for the most part happened much slower than it should have due to no real desire on their part for change. Time for the kids to take over, and for us older folk to step aside.

And how have we got there? By changing what we did in the past, quite significantly in some instances. And you're right, things are much better for most if not all minorities than in the past, but you (and others) write/talk as if we have reached a point of equality for all today, for which...

I'll cross "whataboutism" off my pointless online discussions bingo card! 🤣

Let's not be disengenous. "White male" is an objective descriptor. "Woke" is a subjective insult, just as "nazi" would be to insult someone just because they, say, voted for One Nation. And no, humour hasn't been cancelled. But this isn't the place to delve beyond name calling and mud slinging...

Notwithstanding anyone's subjective views on what's funny or not, if that's your only reference for stand up comedy outside of those you believe have been "cancelled" you really need to get out more.

How about avoiding labels altogether, and talking about the actual topic, and specifics where it will help? Would me throwing the "bigot" label around in response to a couple of comments in this thread add anything constructive to the discussion? Obviously not, derogatory labels are the...

What percentage of TV coverage shows anything representing or supporting the LGBT+ community? I'm almost certain it's far less than the ~10% of the community (possibly more) that identify or are part of that segment of the population. Sorry it offends you, but if it was about what offended me...
