BG> The violence of 40 years ago is nothing like the violence of
 BG> today.

 BL> Every heard of a razor gang? They call them skinheads now.

 BG> Yeah, but the difference is that the current breed of
 BG> anti-socials turds don't discriminate at all when selecting
 BG> victims. Old ladies, cripples, you name it, they're all fair
 BG> game now. Evil little cunts, they are... 

  That's true. Kids don't have any respect. My mother is 90, and she's
had to stop travelling after 3 when the school kids are loose... they
won't give her a seat in the bus or the train. The little shits need a
good kicking.

 BL> Newtown was at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.

 BG> That's sure changed. My brother not long ago sold his restored
 BG> terrace in Wilson Street, for around $450k. I'd be lucky to get
 BG> $80k for my 3 bedroom home on a ¬ acre block right now (should
 BG> have pissed off 5 years ago, when it was worth $100k or so).
 BG> Talk about negative gearing! 

  Yair... the poofters moved in. It were just beginning 22 years ago
when we moved out. The old terrace at Newtown was $24K compared to the
$29K here. Now a big terrace like that is $400K+ as you say, and this
one is $300K.

 BL> I'd guess quite a bit lower than Logan - do you have derros?

 BG> Yep, but they're a bit younger. The media calls them
 BG> street-kids, but I prefer to call them feral, thieving, vicious
 BG> little cunts. 

  I don't know Logan at all, but here in Sydney the street kids are
a CBD effect. It happened when I was a kid too. 

 BL> But the people of Newtown are crammed in closer and were more
 BL> supportive.

 BG> Too much violence, and people no longer want to get involved.

  I think it is just spacing. We lived in a residential with people
all around, and people in the street lived in each other's pockets
like a village. In the suburbs you hardly know your neighbours. Or
perhaps you are right and it is just another era. I'd have to go back
to Newtown to find out, and the idea id not attractive.

 BL> In Campbelltown I can get away with it because no one sees or
 BL> if they do, they don't know me.

 BG> Or simply don't care. That's the attitude I can feel around
 BG> here.

  You could be right. If we get a hoon chucking wheelies I'm usually
the one who goes out and yells at him.

 BL> Us perfectionists find our pleasure internally.

 BG> You stole that line from Greig Sheridan, didn't you? :)

  A dick in any other hole feels the same? It was Grieg Shakespeare, I
think.

Bob
