    Society/Culture Are Australians more racist than other nationalities?

    It seems to be a common theme to denounce Australians as generally racist. However I don’t believe that we are worse than others and in fact will argue that we are a lot more tolerant than most. One thing that often gets misunderstood is the Aussies sense of humour. It is common to take the...

    Review Dangerfield: What's up?

    So the question has to be asked, what is happening to Danger? He is having less and less influence each week? Is he injured, if so why is he playing? If he is not injured, is he not fit, have teams worked him out, has he played his best footy? Is being the Co-captain too much? Is he spending...

    Richmond - A team of low class thugs followed by low class Bogans

    Surely Richmond are the scumiest team in the competition? Bad haircuts, bad tattoos and disgusting thugary, and that is just the team. Their supporters are even worse. They even make Collingwood look good. What a disgraceful culture.

    SA Government to ban live odds during broadcasts

    I’m not a fan of Government regulation or controls as I believe everyone has the right to chose their own path and accept the consequences. The way we have turned into a Nanny state with no recourse such as a Bill of Rights is a tragedy. I have to say that gambling adds really annoy me, but my...
