If you answered yes to the above (you may as well have a crack addiction) you are one of the worst form of SCUM to walk on this mortal earth. Puppy farms are an absolute discrace and all deserve to be shut down with the dogs all given to good homes.. FOR FREE.</p>
<p>The peoplethat run these “Farms” treat our animal companions like absolute shit and if they were treated this way themselves for even a day would want to find the closest thing that resembles rope and hang themselves from the closest beam that is high enough so their pathetic, panzy ass feet can’t touch the ground and give them the chance to free themsleves.</p>
<p>The poor dogs are kept in tiny cages with most cages also holding multiple dogs. Most of these dogs are inbred which will naturally cause deformities either as pups or when they grow older. What happens to the pups that don’t get sold to Pet Shops? Who knows, I don’t really want to know.</p>
<p>As for petshops. Leave these stores ONLY for toys and maybe food (dog groomers usually hold the best dog food). After all, if you buy a dog from a pet shop, you are most likely buying a dog from a “Puppy Farm” anyway.</p>
<p>In short. Ban these places and close every single one that is “Active” give the dogs away. There has to be a way of getting “Anti Puppy Farming” certificates going.</p>

Think twice about where you REALLY want to go to. Please also take note of the fact.. Most countries DO NOT want caucasian people in their nations (well the Governments do, however certain “Geurilla” type groups within the countries DO NOT want you there.</p>
<p>So what do I think about this whole situation? If you want to go to one of these countries.. Don’t even expect me in the slightest iota to feel even the tiniest bit sorry for you if you are stupid enough to get yourself caught up in any form of “situation”. If it is someone I know, yeah I will feel sad that I might not see that person for a while or ever again, but I won’t be feeling sorry for them any time soon.</p>
<p>It’s their fault they are in the middle of whatever situation they find themselves in.THEY saw on the news the crap that is happening to tourists, yet for some unknown reason in their punistic brains they still choose to go on a HOLIDAY to these places.</p>
<p>A Holdiay? My impression of a HOLIDAY is waking up in the morning wondering where I was to go for the day, getting up, maybe taking a swim in the sun, change and go have a nice breakfast, head out for some FUN and sightseeing, then doeing  whatever else happens along the way, going to bed later that night, waking the next morning and doing it all again. NOT waking up to an explosion at 2 in the morning, heading out to the street in your pijamas, getting taken hostage, or worse shot, being held captive for days, weeks, or even months on end, ending up in jail for doing something that was not “Morraly” that wrong.. That my friends/haters, is a MESS not a HOLIDAY. Even worse, people take their children to these places. What, to protect you? You brainless tarts. If you want to head to these countries, take the kiddies to their grandparents and say to the child “Darling, dad might not come back from this trip. You stay well though…”..</p>
<p>Mentally Retarded!</p>

Well thats what India is saying&#8230;</p>
<p>Time to stand up for myself, time to stand up for the country and walk a VERY THIN line that could very well leave me dubbed as a &#8220;Racist&#8221;. If you feel that this post is in any way a form of racism then I think you better read it again chump!</p>
<p>Why am i being dubbed a racist? Because I live in Australia? Or because certain induviduals think thta because they are in Australia that they can say &amp; do what they want. If things happen to blow up, it&#8217;s somehow Australias fault. Well, the truth is, it&#8217;s because some stupid people don&#8217;t think before they act.</p>
<p>&#8220;Australians Are Racist&#8221; is the headline being thrown around the worlds media. Apparently we are racist due to the fact that our Police Force is somewhat understaffed and overworked. There isn&#8217;t much that can be done about that. Then comes &#8220;You just don&#8217;t do anything about it quickly because it&#8217;s Indians being attacked&#8221; Just take a minute, also take a BIG STEP BACK. It is a fact that it would take just the same amount of time to respond to an &#8220;attack&#8221; if ANY nationality was involved. Aussie, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Irish etc. The only difference is, the Indians are the only ones getting themselves into the shit more than anyone else and then complain even after they have spoken with Police.</p>
<p>Take the incident that occured recently that dealt the racism card to the table:<br />
An Indian student was slashed across the face with a knife in a car park. That&#8217;s all you hear. Lets breat that down a bit more with some actual details:<br />
1. He was alone<br />
2. It was 3am in the morning<br />
3. It was a Dark/Dim &amp; un-monitored car park<br />
4. IT WAS IN DANDENONG</p>
<p>SO to the points avove:<br />
1. Don&#8217;t walk the streets at night alone. This is something my parents taught me at a very young age. They still never walk through the streets alone.<br />
2. TAKE A TAXI. So, it costs $10. Saves how much in hospital bills, mental anguish etc.<br />
3. Switch your brain on. Where do you think people get mugged? In the middle of the street? NO, in dark alleys and DARK/DIM UN MONITORED CAR PARKS.<br />
4. Learn your suburbs. Learn where not to go at certain times. You will find in more places than one that it REALLY IS NOT SAFE to walk the streets at night. Before moving to Australia, just maybe ask someone what suburbs are nice to live in. Do some research. Feel free to move into a friendly &#8220;Australian Style&#8221; street, say &#8220;Hello&#8221; to all your neighbours, be nice and have a good time. I remember going to grandmas house as a kid and walking up to the shops with her chatting with all the Multi-Cultured people that lived in the street under one term &#8211; &#8220;Australians&#8221;. No segregation, no violence and everyone was &#8220;Happy&#8221; with each other.</p>
<p>So as you maybe can tell, it&#8217;s not just &#8220;Anyone&#8221; that this happens to. It&#8217;s &#8220;Certain Induviduals&#8221; and I do mean &#8220;Single People&#8221; that take it upon themselves not to think about what they do, and inevidabily get themselves into trouble.</p>
<p>The main thing that gets people agitated is the following:<br />
After complaining that they are being targeted, what do they do? They RIOT. Yes, Riot. (Check out Sydney. Then they took it upon themselves to &#8220;Patrol&#8221; train stations.. That is NO LONGER &#8220;Protesting&#8221;) Um, I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s not really a good way to &#8220;Gain Attention&#8221; with the police. This just draws more circles for them to run around with. There is also a little fact that &#8220;Australians&#8221; know. You cause a riot, you&#8217;ll get flogged by the cops. Litterally. If a cop tells you to &#8220;GET BACK&#8221;.. You get back. If you don&#8217;t, they WILL use reasonable force, THAT IS THEIR JOB. Also, while you are RIOTING, while all the cops were trying to stop you causing more trouble, who was &#8220;On call&#8221; for the next person (whether it be an Australian, Italian, Indian, Japanese, Greek, Chinese, Irish etc) who was &#8220;In need of Police&#8221;?.</p>
<p>So as an Australian, I&#8217;m racist? (Apart from those from the Indian culture who have been here for years or course .. They are Australians too yeah?) Well answer the following questions.</p>
<p>1. Why when you arive in the country with citezenship do we instantly offer you jobs?</p>
<p>2. Why do we choose to help eductate you (apart from the fact that its makes our government and schools extra money, don&#8217;t mind the quality of the eduction though, its only TOP GRADE)</p>
<p>3. Why did I used to say hello to my Indian neighbour and them say hello back both with smiles on our faces and living in peace?</p>
<p>Take into consideration. Australians go to Bali, they GET TARGETED because they are AUSTRALIANS. We are told to never come to the country because they don&#8217;t want us there. Australians in Bali get mugged, beaten up, spend life in jail and yet we don&#8217;t feel the need to call them &#8220;Racist&#8221;</p>
<p>Making any sense yet?</p>

Please be aware, before you read this post, that this particular post may very well contain opinions by myself that may not be accepted by others due to its content. As i have just said, it&#8217;s my opinion and quite frankly on a topic like this i&#8217;m not going to change my side or my wording.</p>
<p>Anyway enough with the warning. Lets get this rant on a roll.</p>
<p>About a week ago, a story surfaced in the Australian media regarding an incident that occurred 7, yes seven, years ago. After a rugby match in New Zealand, a few of the boys headed back to a motel room with some shiela. I don&#8217;t know exact details of the incident but I believe there was some &#8220;group sex&#8221; involved. After the incident, apparently the girl in question tried to turn around and flog it off to the cops that she had not consented to having sex with multiple of the rugby players. After investigating, and police don&#8217;t investigate &#8220;lightly&#8221; when sport stars are involved, found there was no case and dropped all chargers on every player. So that means.. It was found to be a consensual act, there were no signs of force. Rugby players i&#8217;m sure would leave a trace if she didn&#8217;t consent.</p>
<p>So seven years pass, Johns amps his whole career to a level that not many players would reach, being a big television personality and an assistant coach. Now I don&#8217;t know what made her come forward but I can tell you now. I hope this blows up in her face like the &#8220;octomom&#8221; fiasco. Nothing came up 7 years ago so why now lady? Is your life in such a rut that you have to take to the rungs of the ladder, Johns built for himself, with a chainsaw and strip him of everything he has worked hard for?</p>
<p>His career didn&#8217;t fall into his lap. Johns has talent. A talent that I believe no one else matches. He worked hard!</p>
<p>Why not go to the media 7 years ago? What is your problem? Why do you make men turn around and throw more fuel into the whole &#8220;females lie&#8221; fire. The only thing you are doing is crying wolf on a topic that should be only touched when it is found to be true. If not found to be true, females should be punished for wasting the polices time. Also by doing such things you tarnish the lives of REAL SEXUAL VIOLENCE victims that people &#8220;second guess&#8221; because you are nothing but a liar. So in essence you are only hurting your fellow women and if this is all found to be false again, you deserve to have your face thrown all over the newspapers, the television news and the internet. Why was nothing found 7 years ago? Why didn&#8217;t you tell the media 7 years ago? Why did you only flog Johns? It just doesn&#8217;t add up.</p>
<p>Johns has my support on this subject (the fact that she waited unti9l he was at the top of his game) and if found to be untrue.. I WILL lower my ears that little bit more when I hear females state &#8220;I said no&#8221;. You fueled that fire. You along with the others that falsely accuse males of such acts. You have no idea how bad it affects our reputations as males. You obviously also have no idea how badly it affects other females.</p>
<p>Females, don&#8217;t blame males for &#8220;not believing&#8221; and &#8220;second guessing&#8221; if you have been unfortunate enough to be a sexual victim. Blame bitches like this.</p>
<p>I commend Johns for the way he has taken all of this media circus. Keep your spirits high mate you&#8217;ll get it all back because you DESERVE IT.</p>
<p>One word&#8230;. Bullshit.</p>
