To all those complaining boomers have it good... Would you run the risk of going back in time, being a boomer, and winning the lotto? The kind where you won an all expenses paid trip to Vietnam? Non refundable or exchangeable?

I ****ing wouldn't. No way. At least we aren't being obligated to fight in the middle east.

That was Korea. Still pretty much the WW2 Generation.

The Cult have some sort of coolish vibe goin' on, wtf is with the mic action in this vid though

Are we seriously having an argument about the housing crisis being the fault of the poor not trying hard enough to better themselves?

I really can't #carn hard enough.

Housing affordability is absolutely stuffed no matter how you look at it.

Young and poor people in 2016 have to compete in the market with people who bought their first house 30-40 years ago for a laughably small amount by today's standards and are now buying their 3rd, 4th or 5th investment property, and have all the financial clout and freedom that comes with that. It's fine if you've got rich parents or whatever who can help you out, but buying a house on a single income, something that any idiot could do in the 80s, is now incredibly difficult and not getting any easier.

Don't get me wrong, I own a house and live comfortably and i'm going to be able to sell that house and buy another one. I'm one of the lucky people under 30 in this country who can do that. I'm not coming from the position of someone who can't afford housing.

If you don't understand and accept that entrenched poverty is an issue in this country that needs to be solved by lifting up as opposed to blaming the poor, then you're a very stupid person or you're biased because you grew up without financial hardship and haven't adequately weighed up the situation.

The 80's when interest rates were over 17%?

Good times. Everything was easy.

Your point is indefensible.

Remind me of my point or what you think it is?

Free travel on trains today. Glad I didn't catch the bus. Do we thank Lonsdale for this?

Also, train drivers, it's not Noar-lutta...

We might catch the same train. High five

Two dead.
Killer caught.
An abduction.
And an amputation.

That it was hard in the 80s too.

No it wasn't.

Not even close.

Overwatch is a hell of a game.

Frustrating watching people run around chasing kills though. Only problem with an objective based shooter.

If anyone wants to play I'm RedRaven #1527

All I remember is listening to war of the worlds, liking Adam ant and crying after loosing to Norwood.

The 80's was the Banana Republic we had to have

life was so much simpler and homely when Sally (Kate Ritchie) was making 'home videos'

Is Derringers still a thing by the showgrounds?

Yeah, I walked past it last weekend... when I took a wrong turn out of the Wayville Vintage Markets and went the wrong f@%king way to Unley!

Far out, it's spread over three or four shops on both sides of the street.

Some nice pieces out back, too...

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Gen X actually misses out though because they'll probably be too old to enter the housing market by the time boomers croke it in 20+ years
