content: Every nation has it's fair share of trash minoritiesHere they are labelled 'Bogans' and what a sad sorry dumbass lot they arethat unfortunately either get spotted by tourists with camera/phones,or their stupid neanderthal antics posted on Youtube by one of them that knows what 'Upload to Youtube/Facebook' meansThey are not typical 'Australians' or 'aussies', just fashion challenged losers that the welfare system supportsBased on their diet and alcohol/drug intake they may soon become extinct, so the streets will be safe to walk through againand less flying tinnies, urinating and flashing with foul language at sporting events

They are quite easy to spot however, they usually drive around in one of these (or similar) pieces of junk, or riding around on Harley's. Either way, they make a lot of noise but don't really go anywhere and impress no one.

content: The biker wannabee HarleyTards, of which I have noticed many are old farts who obviously missed the'ageing gracefully without embarrassment'memos (and a few busses)now trying to prove something to someone who cares/gas with their latest 'aquisition' ()are the most annoying fools on the road (up there with the HoonTards) that deliberately do something to their exhaust/muffler system to make it Fing LOUD !!!It's even sadder when they get around in packs roaring past coffee shop and restaurant strips, and again..and again... and no one takes noticeFortunately TIME dictates that these fools will soon be one with the Earth and their noisy 'rigs' restored to normal, auctioned off, and proceeds forwarded to charity/hospitals/aged care facilitiesPLEASE NOTE: Genuine scene bikers and motorcycle enthusiasists are exempt from my comment above, hey...you know the sorry lot I'm referring to

The ones with high 6 or low 7 figure retirement accounts along with pensions and Social Security?Those guys? We can do any fool thing we want and pay cash for doing it.

They never had a chance to play, they had a family to feed, a mortgage to pay plus a couple of cars, a couple of ex-wives, kids to get through college and all that stuff. Somehow, in the midst of all this turmoil, they managed to get an education and a good paying job. Now it's time to play - at any thing they want!The boomers are the best educated and most productive generation the world has ever seen (or, it could be said that we plundered and pillaged the planet; both views are correct) and the youngsters should respect their elders. Take some risk, move out of their parent's basement and see the real world. It's a lot more interesting than a video game.All jesting in fun...Many of the younger generation are doing quite well. In many ways, they have advantages and opportunities that we never had. I can't begin to imagine what they will experience in their lifetime. Mine has been interesting, theirs will be fantastic!
