Buggar.

I just want Cthenthar to be...

So... where does anyone want to meet? And when?

[deathdust]

Deathdust here...

Kyle, 17, Yolla, Tassie.

[Dan Majerle]

Yeah you can be Chris, i'll be Christopher as in Greek culture Chris and Christopher are two different names not like in English where one is the shortened version of the other.
So tells us about yourselves people. Your australianess, problems and stuff in life, what is happening and going out, hopes and dreams. Make this just for aussies though. :)

[Dan Majerle]

Alright i'll begin
My name is Christopher, i turned 18 on 7 February. I am university. My mate from Germany called me today so i was happy to talk to him after a long time. I hope to visit him and my family in Greece in the July holidays but this SARS thing is making everything turn out unfavourably for me. I hope i can go but i don't want to risk anything. I work as an afterschool carer which is basically getting paid 14 dollars an hour to play cricket and two square with kids. On Friday night probably go out with mates to crown for drinks. Saturday night i have bball game and next week mates 21st birthday. :)

[Palmares]

Okay, my turn.

I name is technically Personal information removed I am in my Writers Workshop class right now, supposed to be writing my biography I chose to do on Jean-Paul Sartre. My neck is sore... Well, since it is May Day I am having a silent celebration by wearing my "International Terrorist" shirt with Dubya's face on it and also wearing my Che/Cuba/Revolucion badge on my shirt. I was tempted to bring my flag, but I thought it may offend too many people. Well, sorry to cut this short, but I better do my biography.

BTW, [b] FUCK PATRIOTISM

[Ian]

Ian, 15, sydney

You all know me, Majerle knows my name I guess...

I probably can't make it to a get-together unless if its local, I might be able to go somewhere later in the year... dunno

Happy Mayday!

[IHP]

Ok, I'm Linden, I'm 19

I'm at Monash uni in Melbourne studying politics, international relations, history and Russian language.

I am travelling around the world in Juse so that'll be awesome. I'm working in the construction industry to pay the bills.

Thats about it. What a boring guy ay?

--IHP

[Ian]

yes yes you are boring

Greetings Aussie comrades,Hello all

[IHP]

Ian, Im just not as exciting you with your apple sticker collection.

--IHP

[Ian]

shut up don't tell everyone about my collection or other people will start doing it... wait... maybe I should so I can trade my vast collection with other people and sell them to collector shops... I could have a convention... EVERYBODY START COLLECTING APPLE STICKERS AND EASTER EGG WRAPPERS

lol Gold! Hey Ian get aboard the Spirit of Tasmania and get your ass over to Melbourne comrade. Now i know at first you might be intimidate by what we call "civilisation" but you can sleep at the Botanical Gardens just to remind you of home k? ;)

[Beccie]

Ian get aboard the Spirit of Tasmania

That would be a little hard considering he lives in Sydney. It is Chris (Cthenthar) that lives in the inferior state.

[Dan Majerle]

Oh...so then that apple sticker collection has nothing to do with the fact that Tasmania is the applie isle? Bummer. Well anyways Tasmania sucks! ;)

ALL OF YOU ARE DISCRIMINITIVE BASTARDS!!!

Anyway, Tassie isn't that bad. You know, I'm actually a Queenslander. I was born in Innisfail (south of Cairns), but I unfortunately have lived in Tassie the last 15 and a half years of my life (I'm 17 BTW).

How is we Ian the Gerbal? Or should I say, Ian my Gerbal :)

Do all these people here want to meet up? If so, can you state your preferred area, and we will try to make a compromise (not the kind of compromise where we have to go halfway between, we will just find a way).

[B]Happy second May Day people (May Day in N.T. aswell)!
Karl Marx's birthday!

[Ian]

Innisfail AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BOGAN!
The Gerbal is just fine, but you treat it so badly, I should ring up Dr. Harry and have you arrested!
Here's a compromise, let's all meet down the road from my house (the compromise is it's not on my doorstep or anything really easy for me), and no you cannot sleep over, mum won't let me have friends who don't shower or care for their hair!

NT has Mayday?

[Beccie]

My hair is fine despite the fact I don't have showers!

There are comrades from Sydney, Tassie and Melbourne. Because Melbourne is the best city and is roughly midway b/w Tassie and Sydney I think its the perfect compromise! :)

Melbourne is halfway between a workers paradise (My house :) ), and the arsehole of the world, Tasmania, why go there?!

because I live in Melbourne! Why else?

Excuse me! I prefer the ANUS of the world!
Anyway, I think the meeting should be like at the end of the year (maybe January, coz that is when it is chepaest the travel during a holiday).

You know, if I was a bastard I could ask everyone to come to my ANUS ... I mean doorstep, but I realise that other people need to be taken into consideration (besisdes the fact Tasmania is an ANUS

Anyway, what you people up to?

BTW, should I bring my Gerbal to the meeting? :)

[Ian]

Yeah I don't know if I can really come so dont pay any attention to what I say

[Palmares]

Don't be like that Ian (the Gerbal).

Solidarity comrade!

[apathy maybe]

Edit.

[Ian]

what's UNYA?

[apathy maybe]

...

[Ian]

Oh I've heard of that thing, I think I might do it

[Palmares]

It was really cool, but I didn't say as much as I would have preferred.

My biggest problem with it was that most people had this misconcept communism (not surprising) which made them vehemently against it. So I tried not to talk about it too much. However, there was this Chinese exchange student who I had a huge conversation which about it (though it was somewhat confusing given his English).

Overall, it was fun.

Anyway, how is everyone? :)

[Ian]

Everyone is Good...

[apathy maybe]

It was absolutly amazingly wonderful and good!

[Palmares]

Putting my struggle for the Gerbals aside, do all the Aussies still wanna meet?

Let's say January, but I'm still not sure about the place (but Melb is most likely).

So... what you guys think?

[IHP]

It depends how the Gerbal war goes, but if melbournes still in tact it sounds good. I'll say yes for bec and chris as well.

--IHP

[Beccie]

Thank-you for speaking on my behalf, Linden. If it is in Melbourne then I should most likely be able to make it.

[Palmares]

Sounds good. Now we need to hear from our Gerbal comrade Ian.

BTW, who wants to give me and Ian a place to stay?

[Ian]

Yeah, give us a place to stay, it can be one bed or two (preferably one), I might not come however, see how it goes...

[Palmares]

I think it might be difficult for my mum to let me go by myself, but I'll have to think of what to say to her first. But I've gone to Melb by my self before (it was quite the situation!)

Anyway, how is we all?

[Dan Majerle]

Yeah meet in Melbourne. I'm afraid my house doesn't hold enough for visitors. We only have 3 beds for the four of us. But there is a cheap and 3 star motel in Oakleigh, the suburb where i live right next door to a MExican cantina with great food. It's on Dandenong road a bit further down from the McDonalds on the way to the city, you know it Linden?
Seriously if you guys stay in that then it will be near me and Linden sort of but i'm not sure about beck.

Yeah life is great Chenthar. I just got a huge pay rise from 9.80 to 14.41!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Freak that is great. Hopefully i can get a tutoring job for history or english and then i'm in the money and then NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO STOP THE MONEY TRAIN!!!!!!!!
But yeah we lost in basketball last night but never fear we got into a fight as we all wanted to and my mate got kicked out of the stadium. It was a fun night :) Hey Linden do you play basketball cause if you do we need a couple more players. We only have 6 and considering one is going to get kicked out every game we might need more.

[apathy maybe]

Edit.

[Beccie]

I think I know where you are talking about, Chris. Is it near chadstone?

If it is then I'm about 20-30 minute drive away. Not too far....I thought Linden lived in Croyden, maybe I'm thinking of someone else...

[Palmares]

Where do you guys wanna go in Melb? Chadstone is cool. Dandenong is cool too.

Any reccommendations Melbournians?

[Beccie]

Theres not much to do in melbourne. Theres always the KGB.....You and Ian are too young for that though :P

[Ian]

I could always sneak in though

[Palmares]

I'll be 18 by then though! :biggrin:

[IHP]

You're all a pack o' new schoolers would ya fuckin get older already?

Chris, no I'm not sure about that one...maybe...

Bec, no, no, no, no. WRONG! I did, yes, DID live in Croydon, I now live in Ringwood East, it's a whole suburb closer to the sity alright! Good so that's settled.

I suppose it'll be upto Chris, Bec and myself to go and write outselves off at the KGB bar then.

--IHP

[Ian]

You don't wanna go to the KGB Bar, Bec says its just a place that has heaps of old guys that like little boys, especially tourists and people who used to live in Croydon...

Sorry champ i thought you lived in Clayton. My mistake.

[Palmares]

I will be 18 in October, so there is no problem there. Maybe we could drive around Melbourne like bogans? I've never been a bogan before, could be a good experience for such a young person as me.

Gerbal comrade Ian, how much would it cost for you to travel to Melbourne? It would cost me maybe $200 return, but I reckon I'll nedd at least another $100 for other expenses.

BTW, how long do you guys want this to go for?

[Dan Majerle]

Everyone look at the Aleida March thread i made so we can discuss it around that event!!!

[Beccie]

Sorry, Ringwood east.... *rolls eyes*

[IHP]

Greek Chris: Thats alright...this time. BY the way, in that post don't you just adore my spelling of 'city'?

Taswegian Chris: Mate, I'm a fuckin veteran bogan, follow me in my acid wash jeans and flannel shirt. I do ask that you gring a along a dirty blue singlet though.

Bec: Thats better!! Don't get it wrong again!

Ian: You'll keep mate, don't think you want.

--IHP

[Ian]

Chris (Cthen.), I imagine Ulverston is full of bogans...

Maybe I can make it to Melbourne... Maybe no... The more we talk about it the more I want to go

[Palmares]

Ulverstone (Ulverston is in England) is full of bogans...

I reckon I could get the money to go to Melbourne, but I need a excuse to tell my mum. I'll just save the money myself, can you get the money Ian?

BTW, how is we all?

[Ian]

We is all good!

I reckon I could try get some money, but I dunno whether mummy will let me

[Beccie]

This actually sounds like it could happen.

Chris, why don't you tell your mum that you are coming here to check out Melbourne uni?

[Ian]

This is a blatant post grab, I am now the first Australian past 900 posts

[Palmares]

Bec, that isn't a bad idea. But I doubt I'll go to a Melb uni so it might'n work.

Hmmmm.... I reckon I'll just say I want to go on a holiday, maybe I'll go with some freinds to make it seem more acceptable. I have some freinds who might go to Melb unis.

Posts... hmmm... 748 I think?

[IHP]

Well done Ian, but we all know it's due to a whole lotta

Don't criticize Spam, it fed the Red Army in the 2nd Worl War! Plus, in Korea Spam is considered a delicassy, I think, Joon can you confirm or deny this?

[Palmares]

Joon probably grows SPAM (you know, from those weird plant thingys).

So... is everyone enjoying their holidays? Does everyone have holidays? Well, I do, for two weeks.

Take care brethren :)

(Edited by Cthenthar at 1:38 pm on June 5, 2003)

[Beccie]

Holidays?!? Lol....

Over the next two weeks I have one major essay to write, 3 exams and no motivation to study/research.

I'm a little stressed atm...

[IHP]

You'll be a'right Becky-boo. The politics onoe should be fine. You know ya shit, don't ya?

--IHP

[Beccie]

The politics one will be easy I just can't be bothered doing the study for it....

Are you doing your exam at the rasecourse? Where abouts are you sitting? I'm on level 1..

(Edited by Commie01 at 6:22 am on June 5, 2003)

[IHP]

I have no idea what level it's on or anything, but it is at the racecourse (aka: the swamp)

--IHP

[Beccie]

lol you might want to find out! You are doing the same exam as me....

[IHP]

That might be a good idea....hmmm.

--IHP

[Ian]

What the fuck!? Tasmanian's get too many holidays!

[Blackberry]

James, Melbourne.

Has anything been agreed on? Don't want to look through all of those pages!

[Beccie]

I'm not really sure....I think some of the non-Melbourne Australians (i.e Ian & Cthenthar) are planning on coming here (Melbourne) in January next year...

[IHP]

Basically nothing has happened. We've just been talking shit for the sake of talking shit.

--IHP

[Ian]

I don't really have many plans to come to Melbourne, as I simply don't know how I could, I mean I could live with my freakin' weird relatives (in Mitcham) and have to raise the Australia flag in their front yard everyday at 6 Fucking A.M., but I would hate that and it would be hard on my grandmother making her care for me.


To convince my Mum to let me go without the supervision of relatives would be so hard it isn't worth it.


Maybe thing will change but at this stage it isn't likely

[IHP]

Ian, why not live the freaks? They live about two suburbs from me.

--IHP

[Ian]

We always argue, it's not worth it, I might ask mum if I can have a few nights in Melbourne in the xmas holidays, she might say ok but I dunno

[Ian]

This post makes me a commandante WEEE

As with the mafia...I'm supposedly now part of one of the Northcote gangs. :o

[IHP]

I can imagine. I have friends that live in some of those enormous houses in Templestowe, they hate it. Is the Pines your 'haunt'?

So you've given up on the Godfather? Nothcote gangs? Supposedly? Now? Part? I'm? Well, you show them....whoever the hell your supposed to hate how it's done Northcote style.

Where is the other thread? I was having fun!

Anyway, someone talk to me!!!

Please....

[Beccie]

HEY CHRIS!! hows it going? I don't think you and Ian can stay at my house (my mum wouldn't like that)

[Palmares]

It is good to see I'm not the only one that exists around here.

To what you said, I agree.

I am waiting to see what the other two stooges... I mean comrades will say about myself and Ian staying over.

Anywayz, I am good, I got straight A's on my last two 20th Century History assignments (which I got just then!).

Take care dudet!

[Beccie]

Wow that's really cool! I think I will probably fail three out of four subjects.... Uni sux

[Palmares]

Three! Whoa! What are they? Are they hard? Or have you been lazy?

Good luck in improving, just to cheer you up, I really suck at exams... :(

[Beccie]

I will pass politics (it's fucking easy).... I will probably fail psychology (didn't study for it) Indigenous studies (couldn't find any resources for the major essay which I wrote in 2 hours) and Criminology (I did 13 weeks worth of reading one day before the exam)

I will try harder next semester.

[Palmares]

Politics would be fun, the next two sound boring (no offence). Criminology sounds interesting, though maybe a bit much for me.

I'm so bored, got frees fro the rest of the day...

[Ian]

I was reading this criminology textbook at UWS open day, and a guy came up and said "Read this"(because I complimented his choice of books (Chomsky), near the end of the Textbook it said "Criminology students must remember, due to low funding police often must resort to draconian measures to solve crimes".

Hope that info is helpful for you Bec :)

[Palmares]

Far out, that sounds like something from a pig in South-Central Los Angeles...

Honestly Ian, did the guy wink at you? No, I think I just wanted that to happen...

Again, I am very bored. I got a overdue sociology essay I haven't started... Got a sore neck... But West Coast is going to win against the Roos this weekend!

BTW, St Kilda suck balls! :)

What is that suppose to mean?

[Dan Majerle]

I am glad we didn't get the direct route to the world cup. We don't deserve it. South America all the way baby! Though i think that the central americans have too many spots. I think they have 2.5 and only two good teams are featured in that area, the U.S. and Mexico. Maybe half that spot should be given to OCeania so we could get direct entry. I think the solution would be to make Australia part of Asia. Seriously how is it fair that teams like Netherlands and Columbia miss out when potentially we can have Australia and New Zealand get through against teams like Fiji and those small nations. I think that because of the dominance of the South Americans, (they have won 9 of the 17 world cups), along with their rich soccer history and tradition deserve their 4.5 spots. Australia does not deserve direct route if they can't even have a stable soccer league that doesn't always become bankrupt and not be able to beat New Zealand to make Confederations Cup. They have to prove themselves and i think that should occur with competition against Asia. I must admit that with the talent we have with players like Kewell and Viduka and the huge scalps we have had recently in friendlies against England, etc we are improving but make us part of Asia and abolish the Oceania region.

[Ian]

FUCK OFF SAINTS RULE

I'm a bit pissed off that we lost it when North and Central America get 3 places and we get none. But of course I would say that wouldn't I?

Hey One Sick Kid!

You live in Sydney? Or about to live there? Well, Ian (Ian Rocks) lives there. Maybe you could meet him. But I reccommend actually talking to him first.

Personally, I live in Tasmania, so I'm a bit far to have a meeting at the moment.

Hope you enjoy the board comrade! :P

[one sick kid]

hey cthenthar

yeah, i pmed ian, hes pretty far from where im going to live, i think...but he knows a few people that go to the school ill be attending, so maybe well end up meeting each other>? tasmanias cool, if you ever come up to sydney write me :P

[Palmares]

One sick kid,


you are pretty young eh? When are you moving to Aus?

[one sick kid]

yeah, im 15.

were not sure when well be moving, maybe october? maybe january? my dads contract here finishes january, but i might go back early to do the last term of 10th so i know the school before i start 11th.

[Palmares]

Actually, you are the same age as Ian, right? How long you been a commie? Sydney is an awesome city, dunn what Seoul is like, but I reckon you will love Sydney.

[one sick kid]

Ian's 16 isn't he? not sure...well yeah, im not a communist. not concrete, i need to read more, but id categorise myself as democratic-socialist. seouls pretty good, but i think ive been here long enough...yea im looking forward to sydney, just not so much the north-shore conformist highschool ill be going to.

[Ian]

Don't be too down on that school, it's only one person I know that goes there, it's a pretty large school so there has to be some people with brains

[one sick kid]

yeah, i guess with its size there has to be at least one socialist..but most people ive met that go there are superficial as hell and base their lives around getting pissed and screwing as much as humanly possible. wait, did i just summarise the entire teenage population? :P <_<

[Ian]

I wonder how much screwing is humanly possible? would be interesting to find out

[one sick kid]

i suppose... :huh:?

Screwing is only with some groups, but getting pissed is almost universal - except Christians :lol:

Superficialness - Trying to be the same, but different :wacko:

[Ian]

You got Christians in Tassie? Are they missionaries to convert you heathens?

My school has some, but they don&#39;t really talk about it, they are embarassed, I sort of think its funny because they are too scared to say they are scared of what happens to them after death.

Well I think it&#39;s funny

[Beccie]

I&#39;m a Christian and I get pissed :unsure: well I was baptised a Christian I don&#39;t really follow it though. I like Liberation Theology.

[one sick kid]

i&#39;m a non-denominational christian.

[Ian]

gee what a faux pas

DUDE&#33; :blink:

Tassie is bloody conservative&#33; Redneck country man&#33; I remember when I went to this Christian thingy with a Christian friend, and the preacher said, "People call Tassie conservative, but I just think the people of Tassie are more moral..."

Everyday... well it seems that way... I find out more and more people I know are Christians, and yet they don&#39;t worship me&#33; Weird eh?

Anyway, so some of you guys are religious? I can tell you on paper I am Catholic. But I am agnostic-atheist.

How do I get this? Well, the proof of God is in his existence, the disproof of God is in his non-existence. The later is infact nothing, therefore cannot be proven. I don&#39;t believe if He did exist, His existence could be proven in any scientific way, hence not provable.

Anyway, how is we all my gerbil comrades... I mean comrades? :lol:

[Ian]

w00t&#33; Pauline Fucking Hanson is going to jail&#33; w00t&#33;

[one sick kid]

are you serious? i was in sydney in july and i heard she was in trouble for false votes or something.....what exactly happened?

[IHP]

She got three years for fraud. She said that 500 hundred supporters were actually branch members so One Nation could receive more money from the government to aid her campaign More than that, once the had the cash she didn&#39;t use it for the party. I think it&#39;s something like that. I heard she&#39; in the same prison as that Queensland judge whats-her-name.

Man, this thread is fuckin&#39; shite. Damn crazy Aussies the lotta ya. Youse, get a root. Fair dinkum&#33;

--IHP

[one sick kid]

here&#39;s the story (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/National/story_15408.asp)

"The only call I&#39;d make is to the Beattie government to make sure that she&#39;s dealt with properly and that she is in protective custody, particularly given that a lot of indigenous people are in Wacol prison," he said.

dealt with properly? maybe they should put her in a cell with a few aboriginal women and see how she&#39;s "dealt with". :angry:

[IHP]

Perhaps in a cell that&#39;s "awash with asians."

You really have some strange ideas, young Cthenthar.

I knew you would always be a racist against Gerbils... :angry:

[Ian]

Gerbils UNITE&#33;

[IHP]

Don&#39;t start that shit again.

[Palmares]

Just wondering, but what do you guys think of Richard Butler becoming governor of Tassie? A vehement republican becoming the Fascist... I mean Queen&#39;s representative of Tasmania&#33; I was at first annoyed that he wasn&#39;t Tasmanian, but only Sir Guy Green before has been. Hey, that means he has no scars from removing the second head then. I think it is awesome, even the Greens are happy about it (despite them wanting a woman - maybe we don&#39;t know all the facts?).

I forgot what else I was gonna say...

Later maybe...

[Palmares]

I remembered. I am going to Frank MacDonald&#39;s funeral in Ulverstone (where I just happen to live) tomorrow. The premier Jim Bacon will be there, and so will Sir Guy Green. My dad is a veteran, he is quite old, married late, from WWII. Pretty old? Yes I know all too well.

Though I don&#39;t think too much of the people who went to any war (though I care more for wars that are justified, like WWII - rid wolrd of Fascists), I can&#39;t think bad of someone who has died so recently.

Anyway, how is Australia treating everyone?

[IHP]

About Richard Butler, I&#39;m not really too sure. I like that he&#39;s a republican (not in the American political sense of the word), but wasn&#39;t it him that caused the bombong of baghdad in the late nineties? It won&#39;t really affect me in Victoria though. Hell, I don&#39;t ever really hear about our governor.

Australia isn&#39;t too bad for me. Uni is giving me the shits though. And I got a tattoo this morning. What a badarse.

heya, im an Aussie, Melbourne.

does Melbourne even have a governer? i never hear about him.

Australia isnt treating me to well, my views dont really fit in a posh privete school <_< , im going on exchange to South America next year and hopefully to Uruguay at the end of this year, im tired of Australia and the way Howard follows Bush around like a puppy

[the SovieT]

all i know is Ian is australian and is extra funny and sexy..

you should meet him Ella..

you wount be disapointed i garantee you...

[Ian]

We&#39;ve sorta already met Joao, and it wasn&#39;t Robbo who I met :D I can&#39;t fool you mate

[IHP]

Ella, our governor is John Landy, though you don&#39;t hear very much about him in the press. He just goes to ribbon cuttings and state dinners I suppose.

And Ian is one sexy young bloke. You should go to Sydney and meet him.

--IHP

[MiNdGaMe]

I thought this was suppose to be a place to organise a meeting?
And has turned into a chat session? get an irc channel&#33;

And also to mention everyone helping Ella and Ian get together :P

I certainly wasn&#39;t&#33; :P

It still might happen, but not sure. It happen in January in Melbourne. So Ella, if you want to come, the door is open.


And I got a tattoo this morning. What a badarse.

What was it Linden? Was it a cute little Gerbil on your (bad) arse? I&#39;m too pussy to have a tatoo... :unsure:

School holidays in a week for me&#33; :D

[IHP]

When did January get organised...?

Anyway, not just because I live here, but Bec, Dan Majerle, and now Ella live in Melbourne too. Also it&#39;s somewhere between Sydney and apple country.

No, young Christopher, it was not a gerbil on my arse. I got a buddhist symbol on the inside of my left forearm. It didn&#39;t actually hurt as much as I thought it would.

Ella, what posh private school is that?

--IHP

[Beccie]

January was organised ages ago we just didn&#39;t want to tell you :P

Australia is treating me okay, uni sux but I finally have a car (and it is actually mine&#33;&#33;) :D As for the governor thing I wasn&#39;t aware that Victoria (or any other state for that matter) had one :o

[Palmares]

@ Linden What kind of Buddhist symbol was it? I know it is really popular to have a tatoo of a Hindu &#39;um&#39; (sp?&#39;). Does anyone know the name of the Buddhist symbol that resembles the swastika? For that matter, what is the name of the Christian symbol that the Nazi&#39;s got the swastika from?

Anyway, Bec was right, it was organised ages ago, try checking the early pages of this thread (I thought you knew :unsure: ). Myself and Ian were thinking of staying at the Flinders Street backpackers (or whatever it is called). Could any of you guys give us (Me and Ian) some pricings for that place, or another suitable place to stay?

@ Bec What kind of car you got? We can go BOGAN driving together&#33; BTW, check your msgs.

@ Ella How old are you? If you is 5... I mean 15/16, then you and Ian can definately hit it off&#33; :lol:

[IHP]

Bec, just don&#39;t crash this one, ay? And no threesomes in it with your mate and your boss.

Chris, it&#39;s funny you mention the swastika because the one I got does slightly resemble a swastika. It can be seen here (all black though):

http://www.onmarkproductions.com/assets/im...swat-maroon.gif (http://www.onmarkproductions.com/assets/images/swat-maroon.gif)

The swastika symbol itself actually comes from Hinduism. It was originally set square, but the Nazi&#39;s twisted it onto an angle. I can&#39;t remember what it means exactly, something like &#39;peace&#39; or &#39;good luck&#39; or something like that.

Well, we&#39;ll see what we can do about prices for the backpackers. But I&#39;m bloody hopeless when it comes to remembering things that don&#39;t 99.9% have my own interests at heart. Bec will do it for you.

--IHP

[Beccie]

Ian & Chris

Here is the website for youth hostels in Melbourne;

http://www.hostelsweb.com/cities/melbourne.html

There is a hostel on Spencer street that costs &#036;30 dollars a night (for two people). You will not find much cheaper then that.

The only problem is that you are about a half hour drive (or about one hour be train/bus) from where Linden and I live (I’m not sure where Chris and Ella live) but there is nothing closer probably because no one would want to go to Melbourne south-eastern suburbs for a holiday&#33;&#33;

Linden

Don&#39;t be such an asshole&#33; :( I have never crashed a car before (well not seriously anyway) :unsure: I will take better care of this one because it is mine...

[Ella]

i live in the eastern suburbs to, Linden knows where i live anyway. why wouldnt someone wanna come to the eastern suburbs? weve got nice.... um ooh good point

Linden i go to wesley college

[the SovieT]

@ Ella How old are you? If you is 5... I mean 15/16, then you and Ian can definately hit it off&#33;

she could be 20 and still be the perfect date for Ian..


he freaking rocks in all aspects every age is a good age to date Ian.. (except if yourt too young that can be taken as child abuse..)

[IHP]

Ahhh, Becaroo, you&#39;re an obedi-... good friend, doing that research for them, though they could have quite easily done it themselves...lazy bastards. You did so crash your car, missy. You told me all about the sirens and the police and the morphine. *Taps head* it&#39;s all up here, baby.

Ella, Wesley college, ay? Chris (Dan Majerle) went there, methinks. He finished last year. The eastern subrubs rock&#33; Well, no they don&#39;t but, it might be entertaining for the Taswegian and Ian "Fabio" Rocks.

--IHP

[Ian]

What the fuck has happened? Have you all gone mad? Me thinks yes&#33;


We did a little bit of research, but the cheapest ones are like ones where you have to cook and clean co-operatively so maybe we can be the kulaks of the Hostel and avoid all work :P


Gotta get mumsies to OK the thing, but you know, I&#39;m looking forward to stealing from Lindy and teaching him the way to produce a &#39;dead leg&#39;. He&#39;s a learner at the dirty fighting techniques of Iannie.

[IHP]

I would appreciate the lessons in whatever martial arts you claim to master. Can you teach how to find that bit on the arm that really hurst when you punch it? You know the bit I&#39;m talking about?

I didn&#39;t know it was Hindu, I guess the Buddhists got it from then (just like virtually thier entire religion). I don&#39;t mean to sound rude, but the Nazi&#39;s got the swastika from a Christian symbol (which is supposedly the first, though I think pagans may have used it too). Hitler wanted an imposing symbol, and one of his advisors provided one similar to what was to become the swastika. This was a Christian symbol. I think this symbol can be found in Rome or something. I know the symbol means prosperity, peace and good fortune or something like that, and turned around it means the opposite (and to some, it automatically means &#39;anti-peace&#39;). From this, some people (some dumbarses I know) actually thought the Nazi swastika was the opposite to the Buddhist one, but I told them differently (as they are infact the same way around). I&#39;ve just read a book about symbol before. That reminds me, did anyone know that the Mitsubishi symbol symbolises divine power?

Ian I might be getting some dredds on the 15th, but it will cost me &#036;275&#33; Anyway, I almost guarantee I can come to Melb for the meeting. I reckon I&#39;ll book a ticket in a month or two.

Martial arts??? Look out fuckas&#33; I am da master of da GERBIL STYLE&#33; My special move is the GERBIL GRIP, similar to a &#39;squirrel grip&#39; but with a GERBIL twist. :blink:

Or maybe I could pull out some Wu-tang style...? :unsure:

BTW What political affiliations do you guys have?

[IHP]

Um, sorry but I&#39;m going to have to point out a few things from that post.

First, the swastika is one of the oldest known symbols, but was first associated with hinduism as I pointed. The word &#39;svastika&#39; is a sanskrit word. For the life of me, I can&#39;t remember what it means. But the symbol was something like &#39;peace.&#39; I&#39;m not sure where you get christian from. Unless christians took it from India somehow. Unless you are thinking of the cross of Thor.

And as for the statement "I didn&#39;t know it was Hindu, I guess the Buddhists got it from then (just like virtually thier entire religion).

Sorry mate, but that is wrong. Fundamentally, hinduism is theistic. Buddhism is non-theistic. There are thousands of differences (not including the caste system.) What gave you the idea that they were quite similar.

Who&#39;s the bloke in your avatar?

--IHP
To &#39;point things out&#39; is to IMPLY they are WRONG.

I guess who had the symbol first cannot be absolutely acsertained, as many religions had/have the symbol (or similar to it). The cross of Thor would make sense, as the Christians possibly got it from pagans.

Okay, now with Hinduism. When I said they were &#39;virtually&#39; the same, I was being stupid and bagging them out. It was blunt statement (if not ignorant) and I apologise for that. To me, Buddhism is an improved version of Hinduism, hence similarities. It is like me saying that Judaism, Chrisitianity and Islam are similar. Yes they have many differences, but they have amny of the samme basic concepts. In Buddhism for example, many of the &#39;borrowed&#39; Hindu concepts kept the same name.

I shouldn&#39;t have said it so ignorantly, but I must let you know I know my fucking stuff. I&#39;ve done entire unit of work for both.

BTW, the avatar is Charles Firth (CNNNN, Firth Factor).

[IHP]

Geez calm down mate. I didn&#39;t mean to offend. But as I&#39;m basically a buddhist, I thought your statement was a little off base, is all.

I suppose this is what happen when two people &#39;know their fucking stuff&#39; :)

I love CNNNN, it&#39;s a classic. I couldn&#39;t tell who it was because my monitor is a wee bit small. I love it when they&#39;re interviewing someone and halfway through the first question, they cut them off and move to a different story. It&#39;s beutiful.

--IHP

[Palmares]

Sorry dude, I just got pissed off a little (though it was my fault initially).

So you are &#39;somewhat&#39; a Buddhist? I&#39;m not trying to bag you, I&#39;m just interested to hear what beliefs of yours correspond with Buddhist beliefs? Personally, I think Buddhism is a good religion. That and Taoism are the best from my viewpoint. I could maybe call myself &#39;Buddhistic&#39; as such. I believe in alot of aspects of the four noble truths, noble eightfold path. In particular, I believe suffering is caused by desire, and hence suffering can be stopped by abstaining from desire (or at least misplaced value). Of all the Buddhist concepts, I most strongly believe in is impermanence (as a result Buddhists don&#39;t believe in a &#39;soul&#39;). I&#39;ve got a bit of a mental block at the moment, and I can&#39;t remember what else I was gonna say. Actually, I remembered one thing, my belief in impermanence has alot to do with my belief in the existentialist concept of (absolute) subjectivity.

Anyway, eveyone has gotta love CNNNN&#33; The site is pretty cool, you guys have to check out the polls (the answers are so... &#39;closed&#39; as such)&#33;

Well, it is school holidays now for me everyone, and I am away from my crappy town in the (conservative) north of Tasmania and I am staying in Hobart for a week and a half. For about 5 days I&#39;m goin on Youth Parliament, with is self-explanatory. Since Ian is the only other person who might have holidays, have a good holidays Ian&#33; Sucked in the uni people for not having holidays (no offence)&#33; :lol:

Later dudes... :wacko:

[IHP]

No worries.

I say I am somewhat a buddhist because I have always been anti-religion. Always. Until recently I have read a number of books on Zen buddhism and absolutely fell in love with their interpretation of life. I like that they don&#39;t have &#39;rules&#39; that must be followed or you&#39;ll burn in hell. They have guidelines etc. I think it&#39;s a beautiful discipline. Zen buddhism appeals to me more than other mahayana buddhist schools because they argue that buddha knew as much as we all do, he was simply more enlightened. Countless, countless more reasons exist which I can&#39;t be bothered going into now, but now I&#39;d say that I am a zen buddhist. I think I have to take the step beyond the fringe of umming and ahhing.

You like Taoism? I always thought that Tao was a bit sexist, as in, the station of a woman is to be a child bearer (corresponding with the idea of jen) What&#39;s your thoughts?

Socialist Alternative can belt it up their arse.

I think they&#39;re a pack of dogmatic fools.

Ian could probably tell you about Resistance.

What&#39;re your thoughts?

--IHP

[Beccie]

The Socialist Alternative are facists.... seriously.... they tried to force me to join their group but I told them I was an anarchist... they left me alone after that :)

[Ian]

Resistance are a bit weird, I&#39;m not really associating with them much anymore, they just want me to sell their paper which isn&#39;t cool.

ISO and SAlt are very similar politically, although SAlt is a bit less realistic in their campaigning, SAlt are campaigning almost exclusively in a few campuses in Sydney and Melbourne, plus they are both anti-cuba (read my Rene quote in my signature for my revolutionary line ;)).

I think I&#39;ll steer clear of any group for awhile... keep reading up on shit too.

Bah, that doesn&#39;t make them fascists. My experience with some SA members have been different, however. A couple of their members approached me and Mindgame at a protest to ask whether they could get in touch with any syndicalist groups, which I thought nice (they were interested in syndicalism -- that&#39;s what they told me anyway).

I have a small amount of respect for them anyway, since they are non-parliamentary.

[Ian]

That&#39;s good of them at least

Yes, Resistance is your typical trotskyist organisation. Plus they are a lackey for the Socialist Alliance (DSP).

If you&#39;re ever going to get involved with any socialist and non-anarchist group, do something with the Socialit Alternative. At least they have a bit of go in them. They initiated a direct action on August 27th -- they tried to break into Melbourne University&#39;s Chancelor&#39;s house. It is true that they hardly do any campaigning, except for in universities.

On the brink of collapse, the last time I heard. Several members resigned. Plus their tiny presence at protests is most telling.

[Blackberry]

So is this meeting happening? And if so, when?

I FUCKING HATE THE SOCIALIST ALTERNATIVE

They are the biggest bunch of fools I have ever met, sectarian arseholes who try hijack meetings.

I won&#39;t argue against that, but I would be most interested to hear some of their antics, and how they are sectarian, for my own personal benefit.

[Ian]

I am a witness to seeing one of their members pull down an anti-war poster (DAYS BEFORE THE WAR), because it had a resistance emblem on it, it was at Macquarie University

[RED CHARO]

No, yes, Socialsit Alternative sticket them in the toilet........
I was woundering if any of them would bee here?, but I guess not......
Sorry, I should have told, I&#39;m that guy that does comics for the Res Mag....
Sparticus people always aproach me, Its freaky&#33;

[RED CHARO]

IAN ROCKS,
If your a bit bored with Resistance, you should think of starting some thing and Res helping out.....
Me and some others are organising the &#39;street democracy&#39; meeting? concert with the BYO, and also I hopeing to get more involved with the medicare debate......
Theres a lot and a lot of people angry out there at the moment, and it will get worse&#33;

[Palmares]

I&#39;m back Aussies comrades from two weeks holidays&#33; I went to Youth Parliament in the first week, and bummed around Hobart (i was there for the two weeks) looking for Uni accomodation and what kind of new computer i should get for Uni.

IT WAS FUN&#33;

I&#39;m too tired to elaborate...

Anyway...

I&#39;m a member of Reisistance and Socialist Alliance (a non-affiliated member). I must admit that they are Trotskyist, but I&#39;m not exactly a &#39;Stalinist&#39;, so I don&#39;t really care. SAlt are FUCKING weird. They are the most radical leftist group, though I don&#39;t know much about the Spartakists... A person from one of those groups (or so I was told) tried to instigate a blockade of a military thingy in Tassie, but that isn&#39;t the style of the other leftists in Tassie. Socialist Alliance are more widespread, so they are cooler to me (otherwise I would have to join the Greens&#33;).

So, Ian doesn&#39;t like Resitance anymore? I must admit, they do suck balls, but what else is there to work with? I find most (if not all) the Resistance/Socialist Alliance members as so dogmatic about everything. I agree with many of their views, but they do think about the other side often. Originally I didn&#39;t want to join any organisation, I just thought they couldn&#39;t accomodate my views, or I couldn&#39;t accomodate their&#39;s. But I thought fuck sectarianism, UNITE&#33; Though I must agree with Ian that &#39;Green Left Weekly&#39; is the paramount thing for Resistance, all else is secondary. I find the Gree Left as too dogmatic, but the message is there I suppose.

Someone said about the meeting. January is the plan, but no official confirmations have been made.

BTW, there are some new comrades talking here (new to me - RED CHARO, Comrade James, ???).

Could you introduce yourselves (A/S/L, etc) ?

[Ian]

I&#39;m not a stalinist, I&#39;m just not the sort that finds it necessary to debate the &#39;tough theoretical issues&#39;, which many members of the Deadly Serious Party and the SA think is the best pastime ever invented.

Don&#39;t dare talk about Cliff&#39;s version of &#39;State Capitalism&#39; or you be looked at as if you had 2 heads, and once when I asked that perhaps international revolution in every single country (an orthodox Trotskyist principle) would be hampered by the fact that some countries aren&#39;t actually ready for socialism I was informed that I was being heretical by a more loose-lipped &#39;comrade&#39;, although not is as many words, apparentely I was using words similar to Stalin and his propagandists, but I was a bit of a newbie at that stage... oh well...

It&#39;s all well and good to be anti-sectarian, almost everyone is in word, but Res showed it&#39;s true colours in my opinion during the closed session for delegates only (of which I was one) during July when there was a lot of name calling and exclusions of people from roles due to their non-sectarian outlook. Classic quote from that session "Sure we are anti-sectarian, but, there are people we don&#39;t wanna be friendly with and they can fuck off".

They still fucking ring me wanting me to sell their paper, can&#39;t they take a fucking hint? I haven&#39;t gone to a meeting in months and when they email I don&#39;t reply, stupid dicks can&#39;t take a hint.

Comrade James is Neutral Nation by another name Chris

Red Charo PM me and please tell me what branch you are from mate

[Palmares]

What are your plans now Ian (politically)? I&#39;m helping out with screenings of &#39;The Big One&#39; by Michael Moore. Not much else I can do around where I live though.

[Goldfinger]

[Ian]

Well my plan is that I&#39;m just going to keep learning and reading and see where that takes me. I just don&#39;t wanna join any group at the moment.

Ian Did you get my PM? Have you got anything you want to say about those plans?

If any other Aus members who want to meet up, I gave some details to Ian, but I don&#39;t have a back-up of it.

Ian Gimme some feedback man&#33; Also, if you want, you can send a copy of what I sent you, to me. I remember most of it, but little bits are missing from my brain.

You like Paul Eluard? I find him to be quite the poet. I discovered he was once married to Salvador Dali&#39;s wife, Gala. The quote itself is surrealist literature at its best.

[Beccie]

Cthenthar, i like you avatar and your sig.... Ian is hot&#33;&#33;

[Palmares]

I love that &#39;love-stare&#39; that he gives in my avatar.

[Jesus Sanchez]

Go Geelong. :P

[Ian]

He can&#39;t be for real... I mean geelong&#33; He must be a gimmick poster

[Palmares]

Gotta agree with Ian. Geelong suck. West Coast beet them in the grand final in 1992 and 1994...

[Blackberry]

The only team worse than Melbourne. :lol: :(

[Ian]

You keep out of this James... ;)

[IHP]

Go Catters&#33;&#33;&#33;

Yeah i barrack for them, but man they suck. I&#39;ll give you the dates that I watched the grand final and ended in heartbreak.

1989: Hawthorn beat us.
1992: West Coast beat us.
1994: West Coast beat us.
1995: Carlton beat us.

Heartbreak after heartbreak.
