Golf loving President Trump gives Eldrick Woods (called Woodsie when he plays in Oz) the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Sports pople have received this in the past but usually 15-20+ years after they finish up at the top level. See sports list at

Chunks of ice the size of Manhattan are falling into the sea and we care about some old church

You're talking about one of the greatest achievements in architecture that the world has ever known - an enduring symbol of not only Paris, but of France itself, that is over 700 years old, with stained glass windows that date back to the 13th century. It is more than just 'some old church'...the fact that it's a church is irrelevant. It has seen the coronation of Napoleon and survived occupation from Nazi Germany.

It isn't a building, it's a work of art. If you can't show any sadness for the razing of such a structure, your heart is also a chunk of ice the size of Manhattan, IMO.

They should knock it down and build some apartment blocks for North African immigrants

Yeah it’s a little bit sad that capitalists couldn’t be bothered spending the money to maintain it. A bit more sad that they’re upset about that rather than widespread homelessness and poverty, the sharp rise of fascism, and the seemingly inevitable climate catastrophe that will absolutely decimate those not wealthy enough to move to a Manhattan surrounded by sea walls.

Sorry but I just don’t have time to feel sad for a building in between being heartbroken every day by stories of the destitute being abandoned (often to their literal deaths) by the wealthy and powerful IN THIS COUNTRY.

William Barr going to unprecedented depths up Trump’s ass as we speak. Geez dude the prostate is not that far up there.

You can't talk. As a boomer, you went to uni for free.

Then why am I paying 450 in HECS a fortnight? I got ripped off what the *.

Oh well, atleast I'm paying for a service I was provided. Poorly, but provided regardless.

The downside of being a mere honorary boomer.

Uni students should be banned from voting.

I’d take that deal if we also banned retirees.

Boomers really did have such an easy ride. We should deduct the current day cost of those free degrees from their super and put the money back into community projects like vegetarian burger joints and sake micro-breweries.

Don’t forget free neck tattoos for the unemployed.

Those young excited to be involved twats on all sides at polling booths are enough to make me projectile vomit... stick ya pamphlets up yo ass you deluded unimportant future alcoholics.

If you knew some of the super schemes they are on such as an old teacher one that gives them 70% of their salaries for life indexed. They didn’t contribute a cent personally but they can retire on roughly $70,000 pa for the rest of their life (but rising with every current pay rise) and even in death their families get a percentage of it.
Yes I’m angry. It is unsustainable
