It's time to put an end to the radicalisation of Australia.

I think one of those old buggers screwed his own daughters too. God told him to, of course.

Hmmm... very anti-US there OME!

I must say that all the Americans I've met were very polite. .

Are you quite sure they weren't Canadians?

 

I've had Canadians described to me as "polite Americans"...

Canadians are polite too... I've learned never to assume until they tell me (much like guessing if a woman is pregnant!)

Here's a newspaper cutting that I wanted to include in my original post, but only just found in a dusty old folder.

Nye Bevan was correct, but who would have thought then that the Korean War would not be over in 2017?

I'm not sure if it's any worse for kids these days. In my day we were constantly exposed to violence. We had plastic helmets, plastic sub machine guns, and played war on a regular basis. God help you if you were an imaginary German.

 

And even back then we were exposed to the worst of American culture. Unsupervised, we watched such sick shows as Mister Ed the Talking Horse, The Mickey Mouse Club, I Dream of Jeannie etc.. The sexual undertones of Gilligan's Island were plain for all to see. I even saw an episode where Gilligan got it on with Mary Ann, and the Professor cracked on to Ginger. As a kid, I was shocked. Those sort of things can have a lasting effect on a vulnerable mind.
