Death of Common Sense

The fate of Common Sense is in your hands…

Common Sense died as we entered the Naughties; six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment
for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, schools required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a
student, honor student expelled for having a table knife in her school lunch, a government plan to ban
inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment.
 
Common Sense gets resurrected here and now.

Deer Park lollipop man banned from high-fiving children

Noooo! Stooooop!

Deer Park lollipop man banned from high-fiving children

They Say:

A LOCAL council has banned a school crossing supervisor from giving children high-fives on their way to and from school. Lollipop man Charlie Cremona has been a happy face welcoming the children of Deer Park North Primary School for the past 18 years and helps 130 children safely cross the road each day.

The Brimbank Leader reports that after standing in the sun, rain and wind twice daily for all those years, Mr Cremona was stunned when told recently he must stop “high-fiving” students and parents on his Hovell St crossing. Brimbank general manager of city development Peter Collina confirmed the ban was in response to a parent’s complaint.

“(The) council is investigating further into the complaint and it would therefore not be appropriate to comment further at this stage,” Mr Collina said. Parents are outraged at the ban and have started a petition to bring back Mr Cremona’s high-fives, which has 400 signatures so far.

 We Say:

Wha… Bu…. Ho…. Whe… Fu….

Does anyone else think this is FUCKING TYPICAL OF COUNCILS!!!  Apparently this week they’re not happy enough gathering parking fines like scum sucking moss bacteria! Go and plan some other monstrosity you fucking morons!

They received a complaint… so lemme get this straight, they act QUICKLY on banning some dude high-fiving kids, and yet they spend a fucking YEAR deciding on the colour of the curtains for their offices!! I’m at a loss, I really am… Of ALLLLLL the things to ban… How much does this guy make, surely not much… Let’s turn our attention back to OTHER council workers, like the same dozen workers we see around a hole in the ground, scratching their arses…! I bet you they get paid more than this lollipop dude… For fucks sake… *sigh*

*Ahem* a list of items the council should be more concerned about, rather than this fucking horrific bureaucratic overuse of power:

  1. Look at changing the colour those council workers wear, I mean, come on, flouro-orange is sooo 2002! Budget: $1.6mil Timeframe: 1 year.
  2.  Please, please have someone look at your own website, please… It makes me feel nauseous… Or at least make sure it works in FIREFOX, the days of using Interweb Exploration are over… Well, to the educated… ;) I’m not going to name and shame the developers of the site, but have a look in the disclaimer of the site… idiots… Budget: $700k Timeframe: 6 months
  3. Continue to build and fix bus shelters with windows, cos hey, they can be fucking broken often enough…What a fucking waste of money they are… DON’T PUT FUCKING WINDOWS IN THEM, STUPID LITTLE CUNTS BREAK THEM!!! Budget: Common Fucking Sense. Timeframe: Yesterday!

That should keep you fuckers busy for now…

And to the parent(s) that complained… Seriously, get a fucking life… It’s a high five… Not a fucking Wet Willy or a Wedgie… Grow a brain…. Fucktards…

*Drafts letters to Department of Human Services to ‘report’ inappropriate behaviour* Anyone got the details of the people who reported him? Remember people: Don’t get bitter… Get better… ;)

Gemma Thoms panicked, swallowed drugs at Big Day Out

Gemma Thoms panicked, swallowed drugs at Big Day Out

YOU were to blame for your death, no one else…

Gemma Thoms panicked, swallowed drugs at Big Day Out

They Say:

Ms Thoms, a 17-year-old trainee hairdresser, died after collapsing in 36C heat at the festival, held at Perth’s Claremont Showground on Sunday.  Her friends have told police that before entering the venue, she panicked and swallowed three ecstasy tablets she was carrying because she feared the drugs would be detected by police dogs.

NSW Greens MP Sylvia Hale said she had repeatedly warned governments about the likelihood of a death similar to that of Ms Thoms if sniffer dogs continued to be used at such events. She said a 2006 report by the NSW Ombudsman had concluded the dogs were ineffective.

Insp Silver said Ms Thoms was understood to have taken ecstasy before her arrival at the venue, and that her friends had indicated she feared the other tablets she was carrying would be detected.

YACWA has claimed that it is irresponsible to target popular music events, without first working with young people to educate them about their rights and the possible impacts illicit substance use could have their health.

We Say:

Oh I’m sorry… I didn’t realise that drugs where legal…Shit…Damn you Police for policing the FUCKING LAW!!!

In what twisted fucking state do you have to be in to go: Oh shit Cops, I have three illegal pills, I must swallow them… THROW THEM THE FUCK AWAY!!!!! I cannot fathom why this moron swallowed them… Here is how this should have went:

  1. Put pills in hand
  2. Open hand
  3. Watch pills hit ground
  4. Walk the fuck away….

Did I miss something, or is that just far far too simple…. WTF?!!??!?!

The media have described this as a ‘tragedy’ and is defined as: ‘a disastrous event’.  Now I’m no genius, far from it, but I don’t think this falls under disastrous, with the definition including: very unfortunate…… Now that’s interesting… Unfortunate… I really don’t see this being unfortunate, as it was AVOIDABLE!!!!

People are being very shortsighted here, sure a beautiful young girl has died… BUT WHAT THE FUCK WAS A TEENAGER DOING WITH DRUGS!?!?!?!?!? Fuck the fact there were sniffer dogs… Guess what? Take the pills out of this situation and she’s STILL WALKING AROUND TODAY!!!!

I cannot believe the YACWA coming out and saying that it is: “irresponsible to target popular music events, without first working with young people to educate them about their rights” Their rights?!?!?!? Their FUCKING RIGHTS!?!?!? It’s an ILLICIT SUBSTANCE… As in ILLEGAL!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!

Some people need to pull their heads out of their arses and smell the rotting corpses… Don’t fucking stand on a soapbox and throw stones from your glasshouses… For fucks sake… Stand back and look at the real issue…

Fucktards…. I might go drop acid, then blame Connex when I overdose for increasing my stress levels… Do go in to bat for me against Connex will you… For fucks sake… *shakes head*
