Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

Fortunes won and fortunes lost. An old story. Usually as we get a little older, sometimes even wiser, we take a more conservative view on risk.

At one point, obviously time will prevent the...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

So big a fan that you don't practise what you preach. In a land where the purchase of a house/apartment is the closest most will arrive at a religion, it is a major break from norms to rent rather...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

A find the 'hop in' hop out' approach more in tune with what the elders did in previous generations. I do not agree costs are cheaper. Not by a long shot. Probably in part why short durations became...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

Nothing wrong with a spot of prostitution if one is honest about it. A means to an end, of course as long as they never commander the soul, nor eradicate the spirit of free thought and speaking out....

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

Interesting post. Obviously you are more on 'the front line' to note any perceived differences between young than me, but less constraints more at your age? We are of a similar generation and...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

'Sold out to the man' some of the true believers that maintained 'their colours' may well suggest. Although being an accountant would hardly be a ready paid up membership guarantee as part of the...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

It depends when in the sixties. Before 65 still a Beatnik. After 66 if not quite a Hippy, which could be a rather 'broad' term in usage, I mean a look, a mindset or a lifestyle, or a bit of all? Or...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

It would be nice to think that generation will possess the collective mind to change the course of society. There have been a few false alarms in recent decades ....so lets see. I doubt it will be as...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

An interesting thread. Shame it hasn't further developed. Or has all been said on the matter? Not long ago had two North European teenagers stay over with us, both boys, oldest nineteen other...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

Well not really. Resilience lies with the human spirit to carry on against the odds. That is age and gender unrelated. If anything, kids perhaps are more to the contrary , with a naivety that comes...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

That would be my take exactly. Public persona as seen through social media. Always appear cool and not negative. Even if the world is crushing in around them. Nobody wants to read/hear the bad...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.

A very regressive step as...

Re: 90's born Aus Kids.
