No there wouldn’t be ‘uproar’.Nobody would bat an eyelid.

‘If a woman joked about drowning a man and comparing him to a killer insect there would be an up roar ‘
No there wouldn’t.

OMG come onto an article about violence against women and the comments are full of men giving out about how sexist the article is so don’t tell if a woman belittled a man in this way the same wouldn’t happen.

No Deb, people are just pointing out the hypocrisy of feminist “equality”. Although to be fair, hypocrisy, delusion and irrationality is hardly a surprise when it comes feminists

Deborah look at the Wayne bobbit story he had his penis cut off and women joked about it on day time tv shows. Imagine if a man cut off a woman’s breast no man would ever joke about it for obvious reasons. Look at the adverts in tv men are shown to be idiots or the butt of jokes. As a man I’m sick of it.

The male commentators are forever bemoaning that equality should work both ways yet now are almost proud that not an eyelid would be batted if the same was said about a male journalist. Personally I don’t think that’s a good thing. The mention of casual violence against anyone, should never be tolerated. So I ask, which is it lads, what do u actually want? I for one wouldn’t tolerate it.

Deborah
No they would not, consider daytime shows like lose women, if the same stupid spouting was done by men there would be uproar. I lived in Australia for a year and it is very misogynistic and McGuire has a mouth and that lets lose on all types of issues, he is a Muppet and people are right to complain however if the roles were reversed no one would bat an eyelid infact everyone would laugh. there is a huge amount of hypocrisy surrounding this issue and it is related to double standards.

Dognut so you would not tolerate IT, what would you do exactly, type more words on your keyboard to express your outrage and anger, think up a new word with phobia on the end of it, protest and play the victim, call for another BAN I am interested to see how you would deal with the mention of casual violence, I fear for you if you have to encounter it for real

He’s actuall of Irish decent. Roscommon I believe.

Never heard of anyone here, but your man actually makes her sound like a fantastic journalist, sucks you in and then bang catches you, isn’t that what a good investigative journalist does? Whether sports or otherwise. Anyway he sounds like a complete idiot, and besides the entire Australian state is built on racism, the sending of empire miscreants there to bulk out the continent as a bulwark against the native people etc another fine English empire mess

Yep, the most multi-cultural country in the world is just racist. What a load of bollocks – and when it (was) racist pre 80′s maybe it was just like every other country of the time; yet it grew up. I live in hope this wee little island will do the same (funny that a massive percentage of early Australian’s were Irish) Oh the bollock loads of irony.

Were Irish? Sure they were sent there as the bold boys of the empire, sure Tasmania alone was treated as just one big prison! The British colony that was and is Australia was stained from the word go, no amount of multicultural immigration will ever change the way aborigines were treated and continue to be treated in the name of that blue flag with the union Jack

Or does the aboriginal culture not really count in all this multiculturalism you speak of?

You’ll be very hard pressed to find anyone in Australia who agrees with how the aboriginal people were treated but we can’t judge based on the actions of ancestors. As has been said, Australia today is a successful multicultural country with very low levels of racism. The worst I’ve seen is on this very website on any article about Muslims, travellers or Australians!

This racism talk has people wrapped up in riddles, for instance is “Australian” a race or Muslim for that matter??

So your saying “Australia day” still isn’t celebrated on the same day that British ships landed in Australia marking the official start of the nation and wiping out millennia of actual history and civilisation?

No I don’t think I said that at all actually

I’m Australian Gus, what’s your point?

You know what I mean, does continuing to celebrate such a national holiday not show some support for those same ancestors/founding fathers actions?

‘wiping out millennia of actual history and civilisation?’

What history, what civilisation? The Aborigine had no written languages, nor did they build cities. They existed as a technologically primitive people,who lived mainly as hunter gatherers. Unfortunately they were never going to exist forever in splendid isolation. If it wasn’t the Europeans it would have been the Javanese from Indonesia who would have colonised Australia.
Perhaps you wish for Australian’s to be ashamed for the actions of ancestors of which they had no control over?

To use an Australian colloquialism, An_Beal_Bocht, “You’re being a dead set clown” – Even though ‘race’ is a misnomer it is still what we use to distinguish peoples of differing lands. The Australian is as much a race as the American or the English person God forbid even the Irish. You seem hung up on a historical pretence about the Aboriginals. Furthermore, my mentioning of the Irish making up a large swag of the populous was a century after the landing.

Oracle, oral history is as valid and probably more important as written history. So what exactly do you define as civilisation? Invading other lands and taking native peoples as slaves? Is that civilisation? So they don’t deserve to be recognised as humans with their own history and way of life. Have we perfected civilisation that much?

Oracle, western societies honour civilisations such as the Romans as some kind of enlightened step forward in evolution when in fact Roman political and civil life was rife with sick needless violence, corruption, greed and disease. Instead of seeing aboriginal populations as backward we could have learnt a lot from their mutually beneficial social structures and their ability to live in harmony with their environment, I’m sure they weren’t perfect but your attitude tells me that some people still see them as somehow inferior

There are very definte perimeters that define what civilisation is. And no oral history is definitely not as valid as written history. That’s preposterous. If the Greeks never wrote down their ancient philosophies and mathemathics on parchment, the west and indeed the world would be a very different probably more primitive place.

‘invading other lands and taking native peoples as slaves?’

You do know Aborignes also engaged in warfare, don’t you?

‘Instead of seeing aboriginal populations as backward we could have learnt a lot from their mutually beneficial social structures and their ability to live in harmony with their environment’

Hardly. It’s now accepted that the arrival and spread of the Aborigines throughout had an enormous impact on Australian fauna and flora and precipitated the extinction of several species.

What exactly do you mean by ‘my attitude’. If you’re going to accuse me of racism, do so directly rather than in such an ambiguous manner. What happened to the Aborigines is tragic, but why should people living nowadays feel guilty for something they had absolutely nothing to do with.

what civilisation they were aboriginal

Life is all about good and bad experience
Life is all about good and bad experience. It was all good and lovely when i met jully, she was a good business woman until things become rough for her and her business empire started liquidating. I was a very courageous and hardworking man so i decided to sell my inheritance to assist . We both struggle together and built the business world again. This time around the business was growing from strength to strength. I was surprise one Sunday evening when she came home with her secretary and told me that we cannot continue with this pretense called love. I was shocked and heart broken, i was in a friend, house for three weeks frustrated until i met fernando my old friend at the supermarket, he directed to me to Dr saka. I contacted saka and he told me that Jully was been manipulated by some spiritual power and he told me to provide some items which he is going to use to destroy the evil spirit. I never believe in voodoo but i had to give him a trial. To my greatest surprise, Jully called and started apologizing 2 days after i sent Dr. Saka the email. I am very happy and will continue to be happy for the good work the Saka has done in my life. Problems are been solved when good people like Saka are on this planet, please contact him through ultimatespearcast@gmail.com if you need any support in any problems in life. I love Dr Saka … :)

Plus size is overweight?

Mick Molloy was his name , is there a trend starting

Caroline Wilson has been a top football reporter for over 30 years and is steeped in the sport as her father was once president of Richmond football club. She has been putting up with jibes and insults from Eddie and his like for years. She deserves a bit of respect. Can’t believe this is still going on. Doesn’t reflect well on the game at all. This stuff stopped being funny back in the early 90s. Not saying it should ever have been acceptable though
