Oops Chris

But what does that have to do with the discussion of Gayle's comments though?

You tell me. You began this conversation about his job.

 

[Juddy88]

Both have repercussions if not met.

Both are a secondary responsibility to a person's paid employment.

Both are things for the most part that people don't want to do.

Paying taxes has nothing to do with a job.

You're original point was that paying taxes is a part of your job, in the same sense as giving presentations, financial reports etc.

It's not. It's a part of having A JOB. Paying taxes is not in a job description, media responsibilities is.

I think you've forgotten the point you were trying to make. You seem to have shifted what you were saying. I'd probably stop now if I were you.

 

[ManWithNoName]

You tell me. You began this conversation about his job.

No, as I said before, the conversation was about why he should give decent, respectful answers.

 

[JackOutback]

It seems like every day I've been saying 'this is the dumbest thing I've read on the Internet' only to be proven wrong. Never change , Big Footy.

Mate, its clearly about taxes, dont change your point. This is Mabo, its the vibe, the whole freaking system is out of order, forget it MWNN its Chinatown.

 

[Ron The Bear]

I agree it's not much to him, but really, no fine and a genuine slap down of his behaviour would have been better than a fine and then defence because of 'cultural differences'.

FWIW I looked at a Jamaican news site to see how it was being received at home. A majority of readers tut-tutted and some observed that what's common in Jamaica isn't acceptable elsewhere. (Some who supported Gayle played the race card, which hasn't been a factor at all IMO. If anything it's worked in his favour.)

 

[kozi]

You did, you clearly realised you were wrong and weve forgiven that but you know keep picking the eyes out of this dead horse.

The distinction was simply being made between being part of the job, as opposed to being THE job.

Sigh.

No it wasn't, or is this like the time you said taxes were your employers responsibility?

 

[Juddy88]

But taxes aren't a part of the job. They are a result of being employed and earning an income.

You need to stop.

Thanks for clarifying that analogies need to be 100% exactly the same as the situation they are being used for. If that were the case then there would never be an analogy for anything, as this is hardly ever the case.

Analogy noun: a correspondence or partial similarity.

I've stated 3 ways it corresponds, and I've stated the particular similarities.

You've pointed out the 1 difference. Congratulations

 

[phantom13]

Shyed away from the whole "its not his job" thing i see. It might by definition be an analogy but that doesnt make it good... Cause its not. In any event as the whole thing started at pre "tax-gate".

As media obligations are part of his job he has a responsibility to his employer to conduct himself in a courteous and professional manner, which he clearly did not.

A chair is the same as a table because they are both made of wood and have four legs.

You clearly just googled the definition of analogy. Although, it was pretty obvious you have no understanding of the word and how to apply it.

Do you actually have any idea what the point your trying to make (whatever that may be) has to do with the incident?

Please keep going.

This isn't bordering on stupidity, it's launching into it head on.

Maybe you should get back to talking about people eating kfc and correcting people's grammar, then trying to pass it off as contributing to the discussion.

You're good at that. Tailing other peoples' ideas clearly isn't your strong suit.

 

[Ron The Bear]

I just ate KFC. Is that bad?

 

[Gavin Excell]

^^ tedious discussion

 

[Juddy88]

This isn't bordering on stupidity, it's launching into it head on.

You inferred that an analogy is appropriate as long as it is slightly similar. My example used two things slightly similar.

Just because you don't understand the word doesn't mean others don't, and that they won't pick up on your incredibly poor attempt to use one.

Again, further evidence you're struggling.

I'll ask you again as you resorted to playing the man instead. What does your (poorly constructed and irrelevant) argument about taxes have to do with the Chris Gayle incident?

 

[JackOutback]

Dirty bird? Very very bad.

No I actually think you don't understand what analogy means as has been demonstrated. See above.

Again, further evidence you're struggling.

If you consider that struggling then I'd love to know what you consider resorting to crapping on about kfc and correcting people's grammar when you run out of ideas to be.

I'll ask you again as you resorted to playing the man instead.

Hypocrisy at its finest again. You've been playing the man since the first post I saw you make. Must say, where you're concerned playing the man has rubbed off on me. You aren't worthy of anything less.

What does your (poorly constructed and irrelevant) argument about taxes have to do with the Chris Gayle incident?

Because you have issues following a simple conversation I'll go back for you. It was in response to ManWithNoName's point about the responsibility of cricketers.

 

[phantom13]

As much as im enjoying this we should probably have it back to something about the man or the incident or something other than terrible analogies and poorly constructed arguments.

Hang on, we have Juddy's next poorly constructed hypocritical argument coming.

You are nowhere near as clever as you think. Lets move on now.

Exactly the same thing can be said for you my friend. I mean, 1 difference in an analogy really rattled your cage.

I agree let's move on.

 

[DT_fanatic]

Not gonna read the thread but ultimately, for all those people saying it was just a 'joke' if Mel felt uncomfortable about it that is all that should matter. And she obviously was uncomfortable about it. To say otherwise is basically not giving a shit about the person on the other end of the 'joke'.

 

[Juddy88]

No I actually think you don't understand what analogy means as has been demonstrated. See above.

It's been pointed out by at least 3 people that your analogy is increadibly poor. You are clearly uneducated if you think that your analogy is appropriate. I think you know it, but you're just too embarrassed to admit it, as you've changed you're approach already.

If you consider that struggling then I'd love to know what you consider resorting to crapping on about kfc and correcting people's grammar when you run out of ideas to be.

Instead on mounting an argument you resorted to personal attacks. That is struggling.

Are you really that inept that you can't remember my actual post about KFC? Clearly tongue in cheek, and in no way were you involved in any discussion. I can multi - quote it for you if you like. I doubt you'll like the result though.

Hypocrisy at its finest again. You've been playing the man since the first post I saw you make.

I suggest having a read back through this thread to find out which one of us has contributed more to the discussion. Go on. Let me know how you go

Because you have issues following a simple conversation I'll go back for you. It was in response to ManWithNoName's point.

I'm well aware of that. You need to go back and read your posts. You've been shown to have minimal idea of what you are trying to talk about and the point you're trying to make (which appears to have subsequently changed). Multiple people have pointed it out.

You're well out of your depth.

 

[Juddy88]

You are nowhere near as clever as you think. Lets move on now.

It's humorous though. Gets upset about a tongue in cheek comment about KFC; holds a severe grudge; tries to get involved in a debate; uses Google definitions to prove a point; shutdown by multiple posters and refuses to acknowledged he's out of his depth. Most people would've walked away a while ago

Time to move on. No doubt he'll need the last word though
