Who Said Its A Free Country

Everyday I wake up to read further changes to our freedoms and the government sticking their noses into every aspect of our lives.Whether it's telling us how much and what time we can drink, where the hell we can smoke, who we can marry to attacking the bedrock of free society, freedom of speech.The government is fast becoming everyone's Ma & Pa.So today I learn that the state government wants to control the type of food being served at hospitals whether in vending machines or over the counter.What about personal choice?Are not we as free citizens allowed to decide what gets put in ones mouth?We are all only on this planet for a very short time so what's wrong with enjoying the things that please us?The nanny state mentality is a left ideology but it saddens me to say that the right is no longer any better. FFS if I'm in hospital and sick or deaths bed at least let me die a happy man - surely we allowed to die with some control over our lives?Fact is people just accept it and shrug their shoulders and say oh well.This is just not about food in hospital it's about everything and governments interfeering in our lives telling us how to live.Inch by inch, law by law we lose a bit each day but what scares me most, is that we will eventually become that society in Fahrenheit 451.

  • I don't care where you smoke, just don't do it near me.

    In the end though, hospitals need to set a good example of healthy eating. I would expect to have the best care all round, including diet. You wouldn't expect a schooner of beer in hospital either.
  • Yep,this country and the west is lame and cucked atm, liberals, pc and feminists and the cucked men in their lives have destroyed the west.

    Universities and teachers should hold a huge part of the blame too.

    Best thing to do is be very vocal as you are Frank, the moment we are silenced by people in our own countries the fights over.

    • Frank because there's dickheads everywhere who eat shit , and don't take care of themselves and poison their kids to do the same. And I don't want my taxes paying for their heAlthcare when they can't be fucked to have SOME self control at SOME point in their lives . I am no saint , I smoked for 15 yrs and prob love my glass of wine too often but I balance that by watching my diet and excercising.
      The govt sometimes has to direct the buggers that do nt give a shit or aren't educated enough to , mostly through no fault of their own.

      Hi, I’m Pat Condell. I don’t respect your beliefs and I don’t care if you’re offended. Cheers. Now that we’ve got the formalities out of the way, wel…
    • Snakes not all teachers pls....the curriculum is and has been designed under a labor govt. Abbott set aside to ammend and I'm not sure where it's at. I echo the sentiments above and cringe. Uni are often run with lefties agenda too...only need to look at how and who they hire to work their....and their policies on this. Look at Macquarie for example...they openly encourage ATSI staff, and no disrespect to them but it's favouritism IMO.
  • Your taxes won't pay out as much as you think cause they'll die younger and won't be a burden with old age care. They reckon smokers average overall cost the taxpayers less because of this.

    I can't stand the over governing nanny state this country is. They are going to make me wear a life jacket to go fishing soon, FFS I can make my own choices. They allow me to vote.

    • Well I'm sick of living in the diabetes capital of the world with fat fuckers loading 10 bottles of coke into their trolleys at Coles
      • But thats not your trolly carlo, are you being force fed by these fat people as some sort of sexual fetish?

        • I and you , pay for them through our taxes and their over reliance on the public hospital system due to their choices. It's fact . So yes , I resent their lack of self control and time taken at the check out.
          • OK this is great, we are getting somewhere.

            So if you resent them, fellow aussies, for using our taxes because they are fat why dont you feel the same for non australians and muslims, coming here, using our hospitals and jails, using billions of security and surveilence, schools, etc.

            You want to let them leach and destroy our society and bleed it dry but you are worried about what other aussies eat, lol ffs that will do me carlo.

            Doesnt make much sense to me carlo, sounds like more brainless feminist nonsense?
