As a matter of public safety, I have to have them loud so I can try to block out the often inane and infuriatingly annoying people & conversations/yelling that goes on on Melbourne's Public Transport System, because if I don't and am forced to listen to it, I feel the unshakable urge to beat people to death with their own shoes.Jock McPie wrote:people who wear earphones but still think they need the music loud enough to share their average tastes with everyone else on the tram or train.
i think there must be some very hard of hearing people these days.
What pisses you off?

No further comment necessary.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I'm sorry to say, we agree completely. It may not be perfect but I'd rather live here than anywhere else and I'm proud to be an Aussie.member34258 wrote:We are damned lucky to live in a country that allows us to have a whinge.
Look around the world.
This is the Lucky Country. And we are the luckiest people on this planet.
People who want to sook and grizzle about how bad it is here, feel free to f*ck off somewhere else.

Just because we're "lucky" doesn't mean we can't be critical. In fact it means we HAVE to be critical, because most of the world doesn't enjoy 1/10th of what we take for granted for structural reasons. In fact, part of the reason we CAN be lucky is that we (as a western nation) exploit everyone else.member34258 wrote:We are damned lucky to live in a country that allows us to have a whinge.

"Be happy or get the **** out" - what a ridiculous comment. Critics have just as much right to be here as those who by sheer "luck" feel the need to build walls around this part of the world and secure it from disagreement, poverty or change.

Omar, yes you need constructive criticism in order to improve things but people who are just negative, have nothing positive or constructive to say but whinge all the time for the sake of it can just F%ck off to somewhere that they consider is better IMO. If they can find it.
