  1. I used to go out dancing every week, but that was a long time ago. The pokies took over every dance floor in the country.

  2. Before those disgusting things arrived on the scene we had dances...until they covered ALL the dance floors with poker machines all over the country. That was the end of the entertainment era.

  3. People stay home because they simply fear going out. There's nowhere to go without a place to lose money.

  4. Absolutely correct. I think most people go to those things and those places out of loneliness where and when they have nowhere else to go. They're old and lonely.

  5. Fix this country so it's fit to live in again, we used to get fun and exercise dancing. But of course, there was no money in that.

  7. Clubs used to be fun places to go with families. Not anymore.

  8.  @bulletbullet7902  That sounds like absolute heaven to me. That means there are places to dance for a change.

  9. I remember when we went out to dance and drink. Now the dancefloors are covered in those rotten machines and the government is raking in all the money. It's paying the many pirates that run Australia millions every week.

  10. $60 billion... How much of that is pension money? These people have little else to do with the last years of their lives. They used to have fun. Now?

  12. Those rotten machines are addictive, they're more addictive than sugar, than drugs, than anything. But the government doesn't care, they're making a fortune out of them. I'm not a religious type but those things are evil.

  13. Are you saying there are NO POKIES there? REALLY? If that's true I'm on my way.
