Any number of pieces of evidence could be used to support such a claim. Here I will offer just one.
Brian Taylor uses the word 'NTTAWWTter' during a tv broadcast. Hundreds (thousands?) of replies are made to bigfooty's thread(s) on the topic within hours. Much outrage is vented. People call for Taylor to be sacked from his livelihood; some rejoice when he is punished, while others get angry that he wasn't punished more harshly.
Channel 7, the AFL and Hawthorn FC combine to create and air a subtle (undisclosed) advertisement in primetime aimed to promote the ADF as a friendly, fun, positive organisation and encourage young people to enlist. About 130 replies are made to the thread on the topic, and less than 30% of respondents to the poll indicate that they see any problem with what had been done.
Using a naughty word: reprehensible. Using sports stars to encourage kids to sign up to become trained killers, pillagers and mercenaries: meh.
LOL.I have never been accused of that before but fine if it suits.
unfortunately calling someone a NTTAWWTter on tv probably doesn't work these days. Do you disagree?
in regards to the ADF do you not think this organisation could be a great training ground for young men and women to complete their university or get a trade. Sure it could and should be better but is there anything wrong with an organisation that pays people to learn?
Sure the ADF has a role to play in war, many of which I don't agree with. but there are many "conflicts" like east timor and other failed state operations that have saved many lives and were for worthy causes. Do you not see any positives in the ADF? Sure it is easy to see the negatives but that is easy to do with anything.
Just try and only see the positives or the negatives you can change. You will be at peace with yourself, far more constructive and possibly even useful.

Collective society reflects the best and worst of humanity.
I have seen our society be considerate, kind and generous.
I have also seen our society be unforgiving, unwise and immoderate.
I disagree with your philosophy.
Collective society doesn't vacillate often, or quickly when it does. People are entrenched in their political and social views, change takes generations.
The facts some elements of society are benevolent or malevolent doesn't reflect collective society, just fringe groups, or individuals.
Aus. society in particular is very conservative, in fact the culture hasn't changed much at all over the last ~20 years or so. And if you're talking about collective society then you have to used averages/cultural trends not singular events, such as a generous act or an evil act(and then to say that represents collective culture is wrong).
On BT, people want him sacked because he is a pathetic caller of the game, the NTTAWWTter comment was something that people hoped would be the ammunition that Ch7 and 3AW needed to get rid of his annoying stupid screams.Brian Taylor uses the word 'NTTAWWTter' during a tv broadcast.

As for our sick society, the question really is it any sicker than
20 years ago? Yes. In the mid-90s things were better, people more trusting, migrants welcomed, minority groups were getting a stronger acceptance in society.
False flag.
Kaiapoi club officials, who declined to be named, were adamant that decision was not related to his sexuality. Sources close to his family also backed up the club's assertion.
Claydon – known in Kaiapoi as Jeremy Claydon – was a promising rugby player who represented the South Island at junior age-group level in 2004. He was selected for the Kaiapoi senior team while he was still at secondary school and helped them win the North Canterbury championship in 2006.
He was also a North Canterbury senior representative that season. But he left the club the following year and joined Belfast.
Former Belfast coach Don Fisher said Claydon "certainly wasn't barred from our club". "We had no issues with him and he was a valued member of our club."

Paints a very different picture.
Garbage. The 90s were no more or less trusting than now. Migrants were welcome then as now, just not the illegal ones. Quick quiz: who first coined the term 'queue jumpers' to describe boat people and when did he do it? As for minority groups, gays have it much better now than they did then.

Paul or Pauline?
In the 90s I could actually walk down a city street at 4am on a Sunday morning without worrying about the groups with the dangerous mix of alcohol and energy drinks running through there system, yes there were drunks but if you knew what you were doing you were safe.Garbage.

Depends who you were and where. In the 90s Gay bashing was a prevalent phenomenon. Much more so than today.
I did that in the 2000s in the biggest city in Europe and still felt perfectly safe.
Pro-establishment once again from Power Raid. Almost like there is a pattern.
