Choosing a Gun

[mellie]

My son advises they use the term "Shank" frequently also...ie..."Hey C*nt i'm gunna shank yu" which roughly translates to "I'm going to stab you".

They usually lurk at train stations along the western Sydney line, then move from station to station causing trouble by way of jumping the train, this is, not buying a train ticket.

Apparently, station guards are too intimidated by them to request they show them their tickets, so they turn the other way careful not to make eye-contact, even though the 'Lads" mock and insult the guards as they pass by.

It's well known, they carry weapons, usually knifes..and there's an initiation I believe, of which involves engaging in a violent crime ..usually with a knife, or by "Boot bashing" someone.

Boot-bashing is the act of kicking someone's head in while they lay unconscious on the ground.

God, you are so "with it" mel. I believe every word

Do they have automatic weapons, or are you just talking it up?

They are from war torn countries? You mean like the middle east? The ones who abhor Americans and their culture?

Yes - like the ME. Just because they hate the Americans more than us - doesn't mean they don't emulate their culture. So many young people do because they watch too much Hollywood crap and play violent video games. What else has the average young person been weaned on over the last couple of decades, not only here but in most western countries?

Much of the violence in all countries is related to drugs. Your point?

Yes it is - yet you implied it was specific to the ME. Aside from guns and drugs - do you think the ME kids living in Sydney clothe themselves in attire from Lebanon, Afghanistan or Iraq? Do they listen to music from their homeland or buy cars similar to those their forefathers drove? There's a whole different culture in these "enclaves", but there's also a strong mix of Americanism also. Australia certainly isn't a trendsetter for youth today.

No, no guns I believe, well, not usually... but had John Howard not implemented new gun legislation, perhaps things would have been very different.

No, I'm not 'hip' or with it, not at all... however I have a reliable source.

My adolescent son.

Easy response for you Orchid - but I expected no more.

My adolescent son.

This reliable source of an adolescent son is conversant with the shootings that occur nightly in Sydney?

Maybe it's aliens who have been playing too many online games?

Yes it was quite easy, Mantra. I see no point in going further with it. You do change with the wind depending who is your flavour of the month. I have seen your unwarranted narcy little comments to me and just assume it is because you have aligned yourself with Monk. Again

I have never said anything to you to warrant that but you are proving to be quite the hypocritical bitch

Stay tuned next month though?

Eeerm, say what?

You better put the peace pipe down me thinks.

---- I love it when bogans try to sound quick-witted and intelligent then fuck up their grammar and look like retards.

Try again...this time in English... or something we can all understand.

Talk about a clunky sentence structure... any clunkier and you'd have me convinced you were rolling down the stairs with a goon taped round your neck.
