NEWS: "How the 10 plant rule sent much of a city to pot"

[poledriver]

Who wrote this? What newspaper?...

Stupid journo, I agree, but please include those two things if you're going to post a news article, as well as a link to the article online.

David Penberthy is the journo, and here is the link to the article. What a load of shit.

what a joke

That article is a complete load of horse shit.

as an american living in australia i've noticed that adelaide people have a verrrry different accent.

never been there myself, but almost everyone i've met from adelaide sounds exactly like a pom. very english, very proper, not a hint of bogan. anyone else notice that?

doesn't seem like this journo agrees with me tho, he seems to reckon everyone in adelaide is a bong smoking do nothing dero. what a nob.

I grew up in adelaide but haven't lived there for 6 years and have that kind of british sounding adelaide accent. Its more of a middle and upper class adelaide thing and I find that people tend to be less ocker in Adelaide as well than else were. But that said there are plenty of bogans, although they sound different to bogans from sydney or melbourne but are still very bogan nonetheless!

Atkinson again: “I see some households where usually a son has got right into dope and is now unemployable and also has a mental illness, living with his parents until they die, incapable of working.”

<facepalm>

 

[puckboy]

^
That comment should be re-arranged as such;

"I see households where usually a son has a mental illness and is right into dope because of the illness, and the desire to self-medicate. He has talents and has much to offer society, but struggles to integrate into it due to many factors, his illness being one of them. His parents stand by him and try to help as best they can and hopefully with therapy he will conquer this illness. He is capable of working and living on his own, out of his parents home but needs help. The illness usually comes well before the drug-use"

Or something like that

It's judgemental, assumptionist opinions/observations of people like this journalist that marginalise and fuck up the people he speaks of even further.

edit: Thanks for the journo's name and link to the article, poledriver.

I certainly can respect the quality that Adelaide growers do produce... by far a lot stronger than the east coast.

Bah.... fuckin Sydney represent! We grow some mad hydro shit here too!

 

[Divine Moments]

^ I'm sure there is good stuff around, but I have a couple friends from Sydney and what they get over there doesn't compare
