I'm sure they say all of the "normal" people ruin everything good too. If you really want the hot chicks, then gather up the guts to go talk to them before you come whining and complaining on here.

I laughed at that one. Calling all of America bogans there.

Does anyone not wear sneakers with jeans? I mean, personally I think wearing nice shoes with jeans looks strange.

Because, Arc, we know what you think about these bogans. We've seen the comments you've made in various other threads about these types of people. These "other views" clearly exemplify and support your own, so we are treating them the same.

Plus, by using the term bogan, which is a disparaging term used to describe a class or culture of people, you are subscribing to the line of thought as described by other people in the OP. Therefore, their views are yours as well.

Thank you for proving my point for me. Also, they can't steal what you don't have, Arc.

Some of the views in the OP support my own. Other ones do, however. For example, I wouldn't define a bogan as someone who wears sneakers with jeans. I also wouldn't say a bogan plays music really loudly on trains because I see islanders do that too.

However, I would say that getting a Southern Cross tattoo on you is pretty bogan as well as re-branding your car.


And LN, unfortunately - the thread title asks a rhetorical question so it won't die very quickly =(
