There's also a thread on the GD board for those who don't go on SRP. Everyone is welcome to join in.

Is there a poll anywhere

If you have a workable alternative for society I'm all ears.

I'll link you to one later.
Some fantastic ideas out there and much better than the old ones we've adopted.

 

[HARKER]

Just thinking on Trigg.

If he was to move on or be moved on, what would be the most likely situation, to have come about?

We didn't get Dusty

 

[HARKER]

Try harder.

If Trigg was moved on, did he not meet his KPI's?
I can put many other ideas here but maybe best not to, until at least we have something official.

People may fear such ideas and label them politically as being communist, but the real sad part is that we're 'happy' with what we have today.

Read the 'About' section and 'Resource based economy' but that's all so far. On face value it appears to be a communism-based theoretical utopian society (though that's a broad brush to paint obviously).

I could write volumes about those ideologies but the short of it is they don't work. Will look into it more when I have time.

 

[ShanDog]

Oh and further to your post, people aren't just happy with what we have now. It's just the best thing we've got right now.

They won't work for some time yet and maybe until we haven't a planet to live on any more.

We're simply used to what we have and if we were residing within some 'mythical' utopia, we'd laugh at the notion of living the way we currently do.

We're happier shrugging our shoulders and saying, "It's just the way it is" and "this is the real world" as though they're good things. Comical.

The sad part is that we think we need to be happy.
Happy this, happy that. Let's not be honest.....just be a 'happy' idiot.

 

[ShanDog]

Alrighty then. Fair to say you and I are extremely different.

 

[HARKER]

Thank **** for that.

All good Shan. You're a good man.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

We're happier shrugging our shoulders and drawing high contact, "It's just the way it is" and "this is the real world" as though they're good things. Comical.

Sorry, it's all I've got to add to this conversation.

 

[SBYM]

Thoroughly decent bloke Jamo.

Really wanted him to have some success.

 

[thylacine60]

Can you imagine another job where a group of workers said we can't be arsed doing our job today, and told their employers that they'd have to outsource it for $122M?

Carlton's Membership Department?

Carlton's list 1996-2015?

Hey people - what are your educated thoughts on John Barker? There's so little collateral on him out there, it's hard to get a read on what he stands for. What do you feel like he brought to your club?

Very highly qualified. There is a debate about what he actually brings to the club, performance wise. Apparently is well regarded by pretty much everyone at the club.

Happy to trade him for your captain.

Not really, will leave that to others with more idea to answer.

AFL news: Blues fan favourite Michael Jamison hits out at Carlton over same-sex marriage

Yeah. Right Jamo.

Good on him

 

[HARKER]

Good on him

Why? Because he has a gay brother and hence an agenda? You can see how this works, can't you?

There are two issues at hand here.

1. One is the obvious one in that human rights must be observed and that this stupid vote should never even been on the menu.
2. Two is how clubs should conduct themselves on behalf of all their members and supporters.

I could say much more but it will be deemed to be all sorts of things by so many and best not to go there, but given some reflection, we may end up with similar thoughts.
Most decent people will get the only outcome that's fair and right, but the club shouldn't be the one to get us there. We have to feel and think on our own.
