GET OVER IT. This is a FORUM not kindergarten.

I like the idea that there are forums that I can read and watch video clips while my grandchildren are in the room without my running the risk of exposing them to something inappropriate.

We have been told innumerable times that the aim is to keep the forum G rated. It is quite possible to discuss a wide range of topics without putting that G rating at risk.

I like it that way and I suspect a lot of others do too. However what I think is of no real importance. The forum is set up that way. If I don't like it I can leave. There are other forums where it seems anything goes. If you don't like the rules here, you might be happier in one of them.

Get Real, you ever been to a primary school lately


(obviously all your pussies never watch or listen to our National Broadcaster, ABC Radio or TV)

There is a lot of tailgating on Queensland roads and never a copper when you want one.
Some 000 operators need more training I found that out while employed in the emergency services.Time is the essence once location is established.The trouble is some locations are in every state same name and that wastes a lot of time because the caller is usually panicking and getting it right again takes time.

Probably all ex victorians,

AS quoted: "I like the idea that there are forums that I can read and watch video clips while my grandchildren are in the room without my running the risk of exposing them to something inappropriate."

I am guessing you have a language filter on your television as well. You grandchildren most likely hear bad language from there parents within the home.

But then again I forgot you and your family are one of the righteous few who have never swore or blaspheme against anyone of anything.

As for the forum and posting video clips on occasion the odd inappropriate comment or word is used. Unlike the retired ones most of us don't have the time to censor every word at every second of these clips.

I think I would be panicking as well when someone is raming me of the road and driving like a lunatic.

I thought he was very cool, trying to avoid someone who was completely irrational ?

I am surprised the police have not arrested the offending driver !!! seems pretty black and white to me. And even if the other driver did cut him off the reaction was a total over reaction.

Perhaps a dash cam would be a good investment, also without it would be hard one to explain to the insurance company.

I wouldn't have picked it up except someone else commented on it. I hadn't watched the video and didn't intend to do so..

It really doesn't matter how many unwarranted assumptions you make about my television viewing habits or how many snide remarks you make about my family. It is unlikely to bring about a change in the rules on this forum.

I didn't make the rules. However, I have read the rules. I like them. I try to abide by them.

If you don't like them, you don't have to stay.

Sniping at me won't change the rules.
