Flame Of The Week - Jenjen from the "Elite" suburb of Nicholls

Woody Mann-Caruso said :

A little off topic, but why is it bad to be patriotic?

It’s meaningless to be proud of something that happened to you by accident of birth, rather than your own efforts. It’s like saying you’re proud of the sun because you happen to have been born in its orbit. If you think the country is great, then your patriotism is unfounded if you’ve done nothing to contribute to that greatness beyond being white and draping a flag around your bogan neck one day a year. Those who drive around in utes plastered with the Southern Cross have rarely done anything of value for the country beyond paying GST and excise on rum, and seek to exclude those who actually have made the country great, including entrepreneurs (rich snobs), intellectuals (smart-arse snobs) and industrious immigrants (wog c*nts).

Ergo it is meaningful to be proud of something that happened by the ‘accident of birth’ if you have, say, served overseas and/or served your country in an official capacity since you left school?

What about if you’ve done that AND represented your nation in sport?

I’m hoping it comes with a 100m high minaret, visible from every house in Nicholls.

*derka* – I’ve had too many Chateau d’Cardboards, sorry…

Seems the Canberra Times have got hold of it now. I was interviewed by Jenna Hand today, so assuming Sunday Times article?

So forgive me for coming in late here, but the Country Music Channel wants a mosque why?

“It’s meaningless to be proud of something that happened to you by accident of birth, rather than your own efforts.”

I disagree, but then that is one of the great things about Australia, I’m allowed to disagree with you.

I’m against the Muslim place of prayer. I’m against anything religious. It’s all propaganda and mind control and that $hit is more dangerous than anything. The proof is in the history books. What’s wrong with thinking for yourself?

I’m still fairly new to RA, does the winner of Flame of the Week receive a prize?

No, its pretty much the Canberra equivalent of putting someone in the stocks and throwing sh_t at them.

Its kind of an attempt to demonstrate that while we might have a bunch of intelligent and thoughtful people reading RA, it is important to balance this with some self-righteous shock-jock behaviour at least once a week. The irony of people braying like yobs, while attempting to put alleged yobs in their place, seems to be part of the fun.

A little off topic, but why is it bad to be patriotic? You can be culturally inclusive and still be proud of your country. There should be more Aussie flags out there.

Nemo, that’s not a very anarchist thing to say.
CISMAN I always fall asleep at meetings, so can you tell me if it’s true that Muslims pray like eight times a day?

Seriously ant, get a sense of proportion.

Laughing at narrowminded bigots is the kindest way to deal with them.

lynch mobs? It’s not a lynch mob if you just ridicul them and send them on their way…

You went to inala high but your worried about a mosque across the road? I’d have thought that life in inala would have tought you to be more concerned about drug wars between Vietnamese gangs, race wars between the Samoans and the Aborigines and family feuds amongst the Italians. I grew up in Redbank/Goodna and can understand your sentiments about the Vietnamese girls though.

Where did JenJen go?? I was looking forward to more bullshit out of the “Elite” Nicholls mayor.

I’m fascinated by the idea that the rates paid by the ratepayers of Nicholls are supposedly exclusively for the benefit of the residents of Nicholls. If the government knew that at the outset they could have saved a fortune on roads and stuff, and jenjen and co could happily live in a walleed village isolated from the rest of Canberra, and the world in general.

This intrigued me and possibly also the people who own shops there. I can assure JenJen and the shop owners of Nicholls that I won’t be crossing the barricades designed to keep non-Nicholls scum like me out.

The AFP have issued a travel warning for Nicholls – apparently it was the original target but they couldn’t find a place to park the van

Quite. 😉

Sorry Jen, when you live on the dark side, you have to cop this sort of thing.

Most infidels live on the other side.

Get used to the call to “prayer”.

Quoted for irony.

I’m not sure if you meant that or not, judging by your usual form I’d say not. AP aren’t the only ones to have the shits with your spelling, haha.

While I have no problem with the proposal to build a church of any kind, despite my non-beliefs. The minister for drink driving saying phooey to what seem like legitimate complaints about the centre proposing to only have use of the existing parking shows how little regard chairman jon and cronies have for the community. Watching WIN news and seeing Hargreaves saying “the whole world has parking problems, the parking problems will just come to Nicholls and they will have to deal with it” or similar, it makes me want to go and punch the fool in the face and every moron who voted for him. Just another excuse for a lack of planning and common sense.

Just scrap all the bullshit jenjen wrote.

Sounds grouse, Auntem! I think I need more buckets.

Granny said:

“The only dilemma I have is which bucket to wear to the meeting? Should I go with the blue or the red?”

I think a nice blue and red tartan may do. We can do a highland fling, pick some roses, have lunch on the porch and throw our scraps at the “rate payers”.

I’m fascinated by the idea that the rates paid by the ratepayers of Nicholls are supposedly exclusively for the benefit of the residents of Nicholls. If the government knew that at the outset they could have saved a fortune on roads and stuff, and jenjen and co could happily live in a walleed village isolated from the rest of Canberra, and the world in general.

Jen – get a life and please don’t leave Nicholls!

I’m a Canberran who has never been to Gungahlin, so I stand to be corrected, but I didn’t think there were any elite suburbs there. Are there really? I understood from newspaper reports that it’s a place with mean nature strips, tiny blocks, and terrible traffic jams because there are only one or two roads out of the place. Doesn’t sound like a place where people with money would live.

I got plenty and I live there

I-filed the whole of Gungahlin is populated with people who sold up in the 90’s because they could get a bigger house out there or people of my generation who climbed onto the first rung of the property ladder, buying a $100k 3 bedroom, single garage, tiny block house and, in some cases, upgraded to a bigger place in another Gungahlin suburb.

The place might be alright in a dozen or so years but, at the moment, it’s got nothing to offer someone who lives in the inner North or South.

Jen – get a life and please don’t leave Nicholls! If you move to “upper” Braddon you may get upset about people stomping all over your precious suburb to visit Civic or to (god forbid) park at St Johns in Reid or one of the ten (legal) places of worship in Braddon (upper or lower) to spend some their time wasted on “so called” prayer.

However, if you do leave Nicholls and move to Braddon, I’ll greet you warmly. You’ll recognise me immediately – I’ll be the lovely old lady next door with a bucket on my head.

It’s all Gungers to me…

Face it, everyone who lives in their ideal location thinks that they live in an elite suburb. They have the good sense not to say it directly, but insinuate it all the time. What’s ironic about this thread is that half the ppl paying out jenjen live in dives in the Inner North which are only slowly becoming gentrified and less dive-like. But they’re always the first to bag places in Gungahlin etc, and act and talk about their own suburb as though they’re “elite”, too.

Not singling you out VY, just think the irony is delicious.

I think it’s a bit sad that certain styles of architecture are not considered, or toned down to prevent negative reactions from the inbreeders. I’ve seen some shocking examples of misplaced architecture but I don’t think the proposed building would be one of them.

A few buildings with a but of flair, inspiration and identity are surely better than the drab concrete pillbox style that seems to be in fashion. My faves are the Chinese Embassy and that building near Swinger Hill.

There’s those units down near Yarra shops that were put up a few years back, everytime I go past them I expect a few WWII Germans to run out yelling Achting! Schnell! Schnell! or something. Truly awful.

If people are offended by something a little different, they probably deserve it.

If making up a name for a section of your suburb, ala “Harcourt Hill”, makes the rest of the suburb “elite”, then, thanks to “Gleneagles”, I live in lower elite Kambah!
I never knew I was Canberran royalty. Noice.

There should be more emphasis in public life in freedom from religion over freedom of religion. But having said that, let me say this (apologies to Gogh), if the Catholics and the Prodies can have their pound of flesh in the public system (schools, churches, charities), so should the Muslims. Each to their own, as long as it doesn’t impact on anyone else.

It sure was cunning of you guys to spend years here commenting on almost every article, sleeper agents in deep cover just waiting for the inevitable thread critical of the CMC to be posted, so you could spring into action and thwart the good burghers of Nicholls…

Truly astounding!

O ho, Woody bin Laden al Jazeera! It is in fact I, Granny Abu Bakar Bashir al Hilali, who shall have all the goats in Nicholls. Stand aside, else the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!

I obviously don’t live in the suburb because I am totally confused about this ‘heads in buckets’ thing. Is that just a Nicholls pasttime?

I don’t think parking will become too much of an issue, if everyone is sitting around with their heads in buckets, operating a motor vehicle is unlikely at best.

I used to live in Nicholls and it is an elite burb. There’s some brilliant houses there, but at the end of the day it is still an old farmers field that was worth $200 per acre before they put roads in.

Congratulations on the flame award jenjen. The parking at the shopping center used to piss me off too and land should definitely be reserved to extend it. I think you’re barking up the wrong tree, these places of worship usually add value to an area. We have a Hindu temple down the road from our rental and it looks great.

Die Lefty Scum’s description is hilarious!

Are the “ratepayers” supposed to be consulted about every piece of land the Government intends to sell or just those that may offend the delicate sensibilites of citizens such as Brianh and jenjen ?

Frankly, I find some of the hideous houses in Nicholls far more offensive than what appears to be planned for the land adjacent to the shops. But I am happy to accept the whole “variety is the spice of life” theme.

Xenophobic Bogan. I’m sure the area would be better off without your intolerant attitude..

ROFLMAO.

OT: JenJen’s racist innuendo aside, have local shops ever been developed for the exclusive use of the nearest residents? I doubt it but it’d make for an interesting debate. Actually, as shopkeepers love increased trade surely they’d be in favour of the CMC?

bit disappointing to see brianh got pipped at the post, but jenjen was far more entertaining. Rate payers opinions, jenjen? does that include members of the CMC?

Well there’s a hint.

JB, I’ve done so before, and received a “Thank you for your comment” reply.

It’s all Gungers to me…

Brad if you want to debate the merits of FOTW in general I suggest you email me to discuss it, otherwise it’s offtopic.

Nicholls – a better class of redneck lives here.

apologies to jennybel – I wouldn’t have mentioned comment 10 if I had have noticed your comment first. I don’t have issues with the comments as much as I have issue with the forum that incites them.

The Brad said :

Maybe, to avoid the large dose of irony by creating a lynch mob (e.g. comment 10), maybe FotW should be awarded, but with no option for comments/mockery.

Don’t be so silly. Go to your room.

But hey, let’s publicly mock Jenjen anyway, rather than try to reason with her in private via email.

I suspect she’s not the type who can be reasoned with, but, true, I haven’t tried to.

jenjen,

You’re comments come across as if you don’t beleive Muslims pray and that you think the proposed CMC will become some den of iniquity. If this isn’t the case I’m sorry, I misjudged you. Can you please explain more clearly what you mean.

If you do beleive this is the case, however, then please take your head out of your Ar5e and get real. Even if Nichols was elite, which it’s not, I’m sure they wouldn’t want some 21st century Alf Garnett throwback, which you are, tarnishing their reputation.

May Allah bless your little cotton socks.

I hate lynch mobs (and bullies) with a passion as well.

You’ve won a spot in my heart. I just LOVED your rant in the ‘evil muslims defile Nicholls’ thread.

Even I can say to the quote “elite suburb” that kelleway ave dosn’t look that elite as harcourt hill, but as explained with the phone conversation I had with the president of the GCC yesterday, the people of the elite side of Nicholls need not wory as the bulding won’t be like a great big Tashmahal, it will be to suit the surrondings, so when you look down from the mansion at harcourt hill the view will still be the mountians, not thoses things that they have on other mosque.

Hehe! The rest of Nicholls is going to be donating to the building fund.

So are Ngunnawal residents (like me) I’m sure, just to get her out of the district!

Hehe! The rest of Nicholls is going to be donating to the building fund.

At least she’s calling it Nicholls and not trying to claim it as Harcourt Hill like all the pretenders south-east of Curran Drive. 😉

I can just picture the grandeur of jenjens palace in upper-elite Nicholls:

– Nauseatingly large house with nauseatingly small yard within arms length of another nauseatingly large house with nauseatingly small yard
– Theatrical Roman archway entrance
– views of the lovely Gold Creek golf course (which incidentally will have disappeared within 5 years) should her elite family ever decide to take up such an elite sport
– A pool-room downstairs adourned with autographed Brocky memorabilia
– 80″ LG Plasma with surround sound as a centrepiece for the living area, with a minimum of 1 TV per room thereafter
– 3 car garage for housing the VT Monaro, Rex and accompanying SUV for collecting the kiddies from elite GC primary.

and naturally…

– full stainless-steel smeg appliances throughout.

Now if only I could seal that 60k+ salary the dream could be mine…

Brianh said :

Well, you surely must get an honorable mention for one of your posts earlier in that topic, and for starting it all, Brian. Your post was more of a meandering rant, not a flame per-se, so that probably kept you out of the medals.

I am going to have to try harder.

I thought Charnwood was the elite area of canberra.

If this transaction goes ahead say goodbye to our elite suburb and our family we will be out of here.

Honey, I’m sure Nicholls will be a much more ‘elite’ suburb without your racist face in it. Do us all a favour and take your narrow-minded bigotry off to Camden where I’m sure you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

(posted here as I can’t comment on the previous thread. Stupid IE).

If I abhor violence, particularly against women, then why do I have the overwhelming urge to punch jenjen in the face?

Please. Jenjen is not even trying
Too many question marks
Not enough exclamation marks
nowhere near enough CAPS LOCK!
