Re: [Goanet]Re: A horrific warning to all
Gabriel, To quote Mario, will you quit bombarding us with your extreme leftist drivel? What you claim to be happening in a socialist Australia or Europe is not relevant to a great nation such as America. We do not have public transportation over here. We like the freedom of slowing inching forward on our over crowded highways in our gas guzzling automobiles and SUVs.

We have had many cases in Melbourne trains where people have been pricked by needles left carelessly on seats (minus the note) by people who couldn't care less, both cleaners and passengers being affected. It was mainly because of this that as part of updating the rolling stock, trains have been modernised by reducing the foam on the seats both in thickness and in surface area, so that there is a sizeable width (gap) between the pads of the seats and the backs, to make it more difficult to hide syringes and needles. Also, straps have given way to solid T-shaped plastic handles for people to hold on to whilst standing. It pays to watch where you're sitting. Cheers, Gabriel de Figueiredo. Melbourne - Australia.
