do you remember a time when it was a better place to live

[opmania]

I remember when news agents had a stand out the front

with Papers under a rock

You took a Paper and left the money on the stand

Now days they would steal the money,the papers and the stand

and throw the rock through the window as they were running away

More rubbish. Gays hated to be referred to as GIRLS - they love men and are proud to be men so why would they hate that terminology.

More misinformed individuals...

In qld maybe, gay was always the term used where I was.

But your point supports the use of my other words which I used to mean 'idiot', thank you for that. I'll quote you if the issue comes ip again.

Are you seriously that childish?

Which doesn't change the fact that in the late 1960s to 70s the term was "guy" in ads.  The other term was homosexual, and that was not allowed to be used in ads.  The silly term "gay" did not appear until well after that.

That makes sense.  I do recall a time when males hated to be referred to as guys.

I disliked being called "doll" and "sheila".

Sorry, but Grace is right, "guy" never meant "gay".   It meant male, like "guy wants to meet guy", but in the 1960s people would say "guys"  even when speaking to or about mixed group, and sometimes group of females.  At least in trendy London, but in Sydney too.

I remember the Beaumont children disappeared, never to be seen again, after one of those safe trips to the beach.

---

and that was the end of that freedom for children when the beaumont kids disappeared

What nonsense. You think children hadn't gone missing in Australia before the Beaumont kids? They just happened to be the most high profile - that didn't make their parent's pain any greater than children who were kidnapped

just because people don't share your viewpoint does not make anything everyone else has to say nonsense

Living in South Australia as I do the disappearance of the beamont children had a huge impact

and it did change  the absolute freedom that children had up to that point and forever

closely followed by the truro murders and the family murders

this covered all sides of the spectrum children ,young girls ,and young men who prior to this had unlimited freedom

with the family murders if you may not have heard were homosexual related

So what is they were? I have read a book on the family murders - the son of a prominent news reader I believe was one of the high profile victims. You have highlighted one "gay related" child abduction - why? Especially considering the rest of the abductions you have highlighted are widely believed to be heterosexual crimes? So what you are doing is actually confirming that more heterosexual men commit crimes than gay ones? Okay, if you say so.

My viewpoints are based on fact so yes, if someone can't stand by their gross assumptions, it is rubbish and clap-trap.

add to that the fact that the beaumont children were never found or their abductor no trace

this meant that that monster could have been and was probably lurking somewhere in the vacinity waiting to strike again

give me an example of another case in Australia where 3 children have disappeared at the same time without a trace

[vicr3000]

None that I can remember.

A couple of times two went missing.
