No Oppo Supporters CAS hands down guilty verdict - Players appealing - Dank shot - no opposition - (cont in pt.2)

[Harlequin]

Im starting to feel more and more that people are born bad, and people who do good are the ones that are the ones who are "different"

I don't believe people are born. I believe we are all products of our environment
A child does not know someone has a disability or is different until an adult points it out

Or until they get a little older and notice that the person is different to the other people around them. We are all born with a genetic sequence that has massive impact on every aspect of who we are. Some are born with resilience to turning bad, some are born with a propensity to turning bad. Luckily, genes can be switched on and off and we can manipulate outcomes through nurture. No one who saw my two kids in their first 3 months would ever suggest that nurture is everything. They couldn't have been more different in personality and behaviour right from the first week!

more perspective, Phillip Hughes has died

Just saw it, not a big cricket fan by any stretch but am actually gutted.

Very Very Sad

 

[DapperDon]

Just terrible news.

Thoughts with his family friends and especially Sean Abbot who would be going through hell right at this moment.

I do. Nothing wrong with publicly making her accountable for consistently writing lie after lie.

It would have taken 5 minutes to write and release that statement.

And Caro has been chief footy writer for nearly 15 years. She must have the confidence of a few.

You don't have to be right to be a 'good' journalist these days.

You just have to be read, by enough people. Content doesn't matter if the readers are there.

Bruce Francis is independent as they come - It's good that Bruce clarified his role in the thread - It makes for rivetting reading.

I hope you will excuse my intrusion on to your board at this time.

The tragic news of Phil Hughes passing really does put whatever happened at Essendon into perspective, it's peripheral to the really important things in life.

Well said rumply and DapperDon my heart goes out to his family and loved ones and there's a lot of sympathy for Sean Abbott from me.

I'll leave you in peace now.

Welcome to visit our cricket thread in the hangar

Thanks I'm not much of a cricket fan but Phil Hughes passing hits home to me on a deeply personal issue.

I've sparred with quite a few of you over the Essendon stuff and just wanted to express agreement with the thoughts of rumply and DapperDon.

I was also deeply offended by the recent disgusting remarks made by some idiot concerning RoCo's brother - some things are just off limits.

We have made a few exceptions to the title as is our mandate. At this time of tragedy I don't think many of us would begrudge blackshadow's expression of sentiments we all share nor doubt his sincerity.

Certain events just completely transcend sagas like this, and all tribal lines that have been drawn with it.

This is one of them. It's not the thread for the Phil Hughes tragedy to be discussed in detail but it is absolutely undeniable that something like this happening just leaves you with the heaviest lump of molten in the stomach. Just gutting. And also leaves everyone reflecting that, for all the mental energy so many have spent hurling abuse and trawling codes for knowledge, all for the purpose of scoring a petty point or two in a saga in a game of footy...

Saga? What saga?

At least we're all still alive.

****.

 

[The Dustbin]

What's your point? She is still allowed to be accountable for her actions, you are assuming she has the confidence of a few.

Caro is not a protected specie because she has been in a role for 15 years - laughable.

****.

I disagree. Are we allowed to do that anymore on BF?

If a poster is vocal and passionate in his overt dislike of our club and the posters on this board, what then prompts this chap to post his feelings and thoughts with the group he so despises as though they may actually give a **** what his opinions are?

Perhaps it's just me, but I have no inclination to discuss the untimely and tragic death of Phil Hughes with the Norf board, Caro, Josef Fritzl or anyone else I wouldn't piss on.

 

[Bennett.]

Absolutely numb.

 

[fishardansin]

I will retain a sense of scepticism, but there's some compelling stuff and that's the last thing I'll say on the matter, because Beerfish is right

I have always loved Bruce Francis's stuff. However, in that thread he's stated that he used to work for Alan Jones and Kerry Packer free of charge. So this leads me to believe there may be a fair bit of anti-Labor embellishing going on.

He's planning to put it all together as a book.

I'm starting to wonder if he is to this saga what Ian Plimer is to climate change.

 

[Beerfish]

You certainly can.

 

[fishardansin]

Also shocked about Hughes. I feel terribly for his family who were at the ground and for all of the players who witnessed it up close. The photo of him lying on the pitch will haunt me for a while.

 

[fishardansin]

Bruce Francis should open up a thread on HTB. .... or at least start posting here if he wants to avoid being tied down with trolls ... but have his shit up there for them to read.

When did I say Caro was a good journalist - There is a saying about leaks - When more than 2 people have information it will leak.
