Appeasement by giving the great unwashed and minority a bloody minded voice.... Largely, AND many views people have are IN NODDY land. I'm not talking disadvantaged and down and outers, I'm talikng NUFFIES who will stop Melbourne dead in the street with Bulltish idealogical rubbisH., I hope I have educated you further into the intrIcasies of political scaremongering and  rabid, rubbish politics for no good reason other than.... I have an axe.. any axe to grind!

"the great unwashed"?? I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that this does not mean what I think it means. 

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

I’m woke as. I take every opportunity to resist the plague of cultural appropriation. I believe racial boundaries must be strictly policed. Unlike gender, which is totally fluid.

So do we refer to you as Mr. or Mrs. trade breaker this off season?

I saw that KFC vegan “activist” down at Bourke Street Mall (David Jones) 2 or so years ago on a Saturday with 3 of her other minions, so I decided to seize the opportunity to take a 3 minute walk to Stalactites to buy a Lamb gyros and went back to devour it in front of the KFC vegan woman. 
 

They wanted to throw hands but I kept eating. The more angry they got, the tastier was my gyros. 🤣

These people are garbage and if PETA ever did come to Melbourne for an event or something, I would for sure go to a Chinese restaurant buy a whole tray of roasted pork, hijack their presentation and start chowing down in front of them.

My mum’s not woke at all. Like, I was breastfed for the first six months of my life. Did my mother not realise that I was a vegan? Did she even care? Either way, it was abuse.

A friend of mine sought revenge by getting "I hate Mum" tattooed on hie forehead.

When asked why he responded

"Tatt for titt"

“In the 1938 Blue Book of Bulldogs, William Lawlor wrote that the Bulldog can be traced to 1210, the year of the first official bullbaiting in England. He added that the Bulldog “is generally believed to have come down from the same common stock” developed for that sport. That meant these dogs had to be tough enough to face down a mighty bovine.”

No argument from me regarding selfish, obsessive breeding traits to the detriment to the health of a dog either SD. As stated in my original post this is particularly prevalent with French Bulldogs and Pugs of which many suffer from Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome which is horrible.

The sole reason for the development of the Australian Bulldog breed was to help alleviate the health issues of British Bulldogs particularly for warmer climates. The Aussie Bulldog is a taller, leaner dog with a longer ‘snout’ while still maintaining the “look” and beautiful temperament of the Bulldog. This can only be a good thing for the development of the breed, especially in this country.

Like you I’m a dog lover and in particular Bulldog lover, so long may the breed continue, if bred responsibly.

 

Sometimes I'm reminded that there are many things, small things, which in Australian culture are just that little bit genuinely 'better'. A lot of it stems from the cultural root of 'Yeah, don't need that nonsense, thanks'.
