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

You must disagree with her, she said exactly the same as I did and you disagree with me.

Your little world of Brisbane was obviously an isolated place that was different to how words
Were used in the rest of the world.

And Brisbane was small, isolated back in the 60's.

I repeat, I stated what Brisbane was like in the 1960s.  I did not state what happened in the rest of the world.

If you choose to not believe me, your choice.  I don't care.

I understand that, but you disagreed with a couple of us that said the word gay was used
When it clearly was, just not in your circle in Brisbane.

I don't think all this really matters

My daughter is gay and I prefer that word to lesbian/homosexual - it sounds happy .

When I was a kid "gay" meant happy or bright.  I went to school with a couple of "Gays".  Don't know and couldn't care less when I realised it also meant homosexual.

I think a few are falling for the old "wind-up" trick.

I did not disagree, read back.  I have no idea what happened in the rest of the world, and I did not say that I did.

As far as I know, there is only one poster here who is in my age group, and they have not commented on this subject. 

So younger ones would not know, would they?

How on earth did this thread end up like this?

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

Personally? - Nope  -  plain and simple.

This is in reply to NO ONE, just following the thread. 🙂

I dont care if any one is straight, Gay, bio, black or white or what religion any one is. as long as you are a nice person I will treat you the same.

Think that covers every thing, oh forgot one, if you are a nice Alien you are welcome to pop in for a coffee, sorry Vampires are out, nice or not.

[polksaladallie]

Be careful of the aliens.

The point is Devon is NOT Fritz.  It doesn't even resemble fritz apart from the similarity of shape.   :D:D
