Some racist precious types are all bothered about the traditional dance Adam Goodes did last night after a goal.

Goodes did an impromptu aboriginal dance during the round that celebrates aboriginal heritage. Really Bolt and those f**kwits need to find some other way of figuring out how to be racist offended.

Goodes is a wanker in his own right anyway …

i think that is why nobody likes him.

I don’t understand why anyone would call Goodes a wanker or boo him, or have a sense of ill will towards him.

People have an inherent sense of fairness, and they know what Goodes did to her wasn’t fair.

Perhaps you need to re-educate yourself on the actual circumstance around that event tosy.

For anyone who thinks the booing of Goodes is because of racism

I agree with that, he got booed because he just kicked a goal against their team, and rubbed their noses in it. Expecting the opposition cheer squad to cheer for you in that situation is fucken ridiculous.

WHY HAS HE NEVER BEEN CHARGED WITH GROOMING?

Because even caps locks doesn’t lend any credence to that kangaroo dipshits blatherings?

He took offence when a young girl insulted him, she was probably parroting her parents. More good than harm in that action.

And a lot of good do come out of that. And, the way Goodes treated the girl in the aftermath shows that the understanding goes both ways. I recall him saying how hos heart sank when he realised who it was he had just pointed out, but it was done by then. And he supported her well imo after the fact.

Apparently Eddie McGuire has also blundered in.

He has no other way of entering anything does he, bar by blundering.

They booed Fremantle players with vigour.

But also cheered them, and Fyfe and Dangerfield’s epic match up. Supporters (most) recognose a good match up when they see it. And I haven’t seen something like that in a long time (Granted, I haven’t really watched footy for a while, because, to me, the games are so sterile)

Glad to see the Tiges down The Injectors last night!

Fuck Hird, with a D-9

Just wanted to see it again. How any team can play this mob of fucken cheats without feeling sick is beyond me.

l wonder if the revenue raised is greater than the black market costs.

I wonder if this generation of children who won’t die due to tobacco will thank nanny’s or fucken idiots who can’t even count coloured cartons correctly? Regardless of the associated, unattributed “costs”

There’s an obvious question mark over this year’s budget that the media have yet to highlight: how could the Treasurer announce so many giveaways and backdowns but still claim that “our timetable back to a budget surplus is unchanged from last year”?

http://www.smh.com.au/business/comment-and-analysis/hockeys-return-to-surplus-not-credible-20150531-ghccty?skin=smart-phone

It’s quite easy to explain Ross, And I would, but Andrew Elder does it so much better

This was a significant moment in Australian political and journalistic history; Abbott should have been politically dead, but he is Prime Minister today because Peter Hartcher, those who report to him, and their counterparts in other organisations, went along with the idea that Abbott had to be taken at his word – whatever that word was.

http://andrewelder.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/that-hartcher-piece.html

We see it daily, If a lib politician states something, it is simply repeated, with the assumption being that it is correct, no matter how often it proven not to be. yabot is simply the most visible example, but it goes for any lib pollie. And the opposite is the case for Labor, where every utterance is put through the doubt grinder, re-evaluated and had aspersions cast upon it, until everything they say is taken with a grain of salt. The outright bullshit pedalled in this budget and swallowed whole by the media is outstanding in it’s sweep, and, as time will show, is probably just as hurtful as last years budget, it is just sold (with the back bending support of the msm) far better.

As things get bogged down again in Parliament, hopefully this will all become plain. Time will tell I guess.

It is possible to tackle more that one issue at a time you know.

Not according to those opposed to marriage equality

I thought even you may have seen the obvious fallacies in poor old Bernard Keane’s argument

If it’s so obvious, state it. See what it looks like written down 😉

You may have had a point yomm if only you’d used caps lock and bold, but, as it stands, I’m not convinced.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about that.

Un Australian?

Oh me and Tom just posted the same thing…

Oh, the ignominy 😦

“ToM and me … ”

I reckons he were just tryin’ ta make hisself feel oztrayun again TB 😉

BUT …….“ToM and I … ”

#justsayin’

No sign of Talcum in those pics…

Entsch didn’t appear to be there either. So, just WHO is playing politics?

I don’t speak Gaelic

Gaelic weddings? 🙂

Peak racist?

Why is a 13 year old girl (and not Eddie Maguire) damned as the “face of racism in Australia”?

Why do you misrepresent that all the time?

“I just hope that people give the 13 year old girl the same sort of support because she needs it, her family needs it, and the people around them need it.

“It’s not her fault, she’s 13, she’s still so innocent, I don’t put any blame on her,” he said

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-05-25/goodes-gutted-but-places-no-blame/4712772

So don’t continually try to paint it as something it obviously isn’t

What Goodes said after the event, and what he actually did on the spur of the moment, are two different things.

No, they are consistent. And, what he said after the event, where he calls on people NOT to go after the girl totally disputes the claim that she was made the “face of racism in Australia”?

“This grubmint should NOT be binary. Walk and chew gum people, it’s possible.”

Hang on a minute. It was the ALP that started taling up Gay Marriage all last week because of the Irish vote and your National Conference problem with it in July.

I suppose Bill had to break glass in case of emergency because of his pathetic response to the Budget which was truly appalling and delivered in his usual monotonal voice.

Goodes would have been insulted in the most vile terms for his whole life, he’s decided he’s not putting up with it in any circumstances. Good for him.

I wasn’t that keen on him pointing to the girl, but I can understand why he would do that.

…and don’t blame Goodes for the police detailing her.
————
Apologists say Goodes is a great footballer, who stages for frees – that’s why he gets booed. Matthew Lloyd was world class at that, but I don’t recall him getting the same level of opprobrium.

There’s a racist element to the Goodes criticism, but not all the critics are racists, however their rational, football informed arguments are latched on to by the racists.

“detaining her”

Now you want to jump on the name calling bandwagon?

It was more a descriptive terminology applied to your behaviour. Not a name-calling incident 😉

She said at the time that she hadn’t intended to be racist.

tosy may not have intended to be an ignorant Neanderthal. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t

The reaction and the consequences for her were out of all proportion.

But not Goodes reaction, you forgot to mention. The actions of the police and media, Goodes cannot control

“It’s certainly not divisive … Goodes’ approach is … obviously was … I don’t think the “dance” should rate a mention … what’s racist about that anyway ”

Nothing !

Its about as rascist as Greg Inglis’ “Goanna”. And all NRL fans enjoyed Gordon Tallis getting “rough” with Blues supporters.

Plenty of games have a “bit of mongrel” in them.

Those Southerners dont get out much. I’d actually like to see Aussie teams use that War Dance when we play the Kiwis after their Haka.

Can anyone tell me what Goodes’ agenda actually is?

I think it’s that he doesn’t like being called an ape, he doesn’t go for getting booed and he’s not embarrassed about his heritage.

That’s probably why he’s clearly such a c**t

I think its just that Melbourne people dont like us generous of heart, sweet, sensitive and shy Sydney people

Yup…………….that’s it

#ditto for citizens jobs, health, welfare, education,

Think about that just briefly you vacuous tool

“… but I will not accept personal responsibility for something that happened two centuries ago …

I don’t think it’s about what happened 200+ years ago. It is about what is happening now – the lingering dispossession, unacceptably high incarceration rates, literacy, health, being shunned by the community at large. It adds up to passive racism by the community.

And it isn’t all about coughing up ever increasing funding taxpayer either, it’s about acceptance of culture, heritage, recognition of role models (even if they are sportsmen)

Everyone has to accept a share of personal responsibility.

Anders Zorn, Hugo Resinger holding a fashionable grey Homburg hat, 1907

But that was Tom R, so again, I didn’t take any offence at all. 😉

Of course not, how can you argue against someone who is so right so many times 🙂

let`s not forget that both teams where keen to play find the imaginary wmdz for the last 13-years

Really, take a history lesson you blindfolded muppet

How should he be banned?

By another Arts thread? 🙂

Waleed Aly NAILS it. Again.

love it reb

He “ruined Indigenous Round by acting all Indigenous”

😆

yeah team-cheerer, the fcuking directions team-blib take is so very different to team-zombie

Of course, teamignorant remembers the few cases, and ignores the many that don’t fit within his little mantra

#single-mothers welfare cut on misogyny day
Ignoring ALL other welfare protections and increases offered by Labor

#sank the gay marriage vote last time
Ignoring that they took a vote where the vast majority of Labor voted for it.

#dedicated to off-shore gulags
No argument there, but, that wasn’t in your original rant

#remove privacy of citizens, web-wiretapping
try to keep to your original rant dopey

#ditto for citizens jobs, health, welfare, education,

The gap between the libs and Labor is huge, ESPECIALLY for jobs, health, welfare, and education, not those unrelated points you mentioned.

Neither of the two majors are protecting us from being corporatised, they are both welded to it.

Someone should tell the corporations, cos they are continually seething at Labor.

The neoliberal labor is the same as neoliberal liberal to me.

Yep, I recall the march of the red army front page from the oz that highlighted this 😯

Neither of them are thinking of how we are doing as a society

So, you don’t think that Gonski, NDIS, Mining Tax or Carbon Price considered how we are doing as a society, or where we are going as one?

they are only focused on the economy and causing irreparable harm to our own environment while they do so.

Oh, I must have forgot to mention the Marine Parks and the banning of the Super Trawler above. My bad 😉

Unions see “workers rights” and “union rights” as synonymous.

“public services – owned by everyone” – What does that mean? If the private sector provides a service, are unions suggesting that it should be publicly owned?

Looks like a lot of vacuous slogans.

No one seems to care a toss about the fact that the Australian media is banned from Nauru and Christmas Island and more recently the new legislation that could see doctors and other healthcare workers flung in jail for two years if they report on the situations and conditions they encounter in offshore detention centres.

IAGREE!

And Labor should be voting AGAINST these changes loudly instead of just whimpering along. I understand why Labor are cowtailing(?) along. That doesn’t excuse it.

Of course, the media would come awake then, but not for the reasons they should.

What sort of individual even has that sort of language circulating in his vocabulary…?

An old friend of mine is a teacher in Los Angeles, her school has several parent’s organisations.

One of them is the “Black Parents Organization”

She thought that was fine, I’m not sure I’d like to see that type of structure here.

“Every ignorant fuckhead likes to frequent the niches where other ignorant, more strident fuckheads agree with them.”

That’s not entirely correct in fact on second thoughts that’s an entirely stupid comment

Otherwise Cafe Whispers would be still running.

🙂

It continues. Nobody does leadership brawls like the ALP

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/the-killing-season-julia-gillard-accuses-kevin-rudd-of-physical-intimidation/story-fni0fiyv-1227380635355

OLD Labor leadership wounds are set to be reopened with the screening of a TV series tracking the downfall of the Rudd and Gillard prime ministerships.

She said the incident was “quite a bullying encounter

Gillard will be remembered for her serial duplicity.

You mean renigging on a deal with a pollie

If that is “serial”, what the fuck is yabot?

Nobody does leadership brawls like the ALP

You mean nobody lingers on them like a rabid lefty abc 😆

A few others that I could think of if I could be bothered

ROFL

breaking her word to Rudd ROFL (cos, rudd can be believed 😉 ) and back room deals yea, really yomm?

Thompson had her full support, right up until he didn’t

Not really “breaking her word” is it?

No carbon tax

You really don’t want to go there again, do you?

“serial” ROFL

Like I said, what word would you useto describe yabot in that vein I wonder?

And that is all you have. Your imagination

No nil, it’s called history

The libs stated they would not have run the second round of stimulus. History shows that this second round was required to avert a recession in the aftermath of the GFC. Hence, with their approach, we would have had one.

History shows?? Mate you are a fool.

You are the man who told me that the Coalition would not support the car industry. Support was promised until 2020. You then said they threatened Holden to leave. It was Holden who threatened the Australian govt.

Under your policies cars made in Australia fell from 25% in 2007 to 10% in 2013.

How many lives have you destroyed TomR???

Support was promised until 2020.

The ABC was promised not to be cut
Education was promised not to be cut

He promised not to get rid of Locals

Yea promises ROFL

You then said they threatened Holden to leave.

How many fucken times do you need to see the link before it gets through your thick head. One more at least 😉

Taunts in Parliament and text brought about General Motors Holden’s exit from Australia

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/taunts-in-parliament-and-text-brought-about-general-motors-holdens-exit-from-australia-20131211-2z6i6.html

It was Holden who threatened the Australian govt.

Threatened? Please, I’d like to see this “threat”

That’s back in Labors time nil, try and get your timelines straight.

And you can talk of promises all you want, but just remember who “promised” it, and then what they did in Question Time. That isn’t something made up, its in the fucken Hansard!

That’s interesting. From 25% to 10% in 6 years.

The ALP reduced the industry more than the Libs!

I’d be interested in a little more info on that Neil.

It actually has the most diverse range of cars in the world TB. No other country has just about every model available to consumers.

But if the local market share fell by 60% in 6 years, even with all the support from the ALP, it really was in its death throws.

I think you mean “Death Throes”” ?

OK Walrus you have a point but this is true

http://www.news.com.au/finance/business/australian-car-industry-slams-the-brakes-biggest-sales-slowdown-since-the-gfc-and-tsunami/story-fnkgdhrc-1227175944937

However, the Australian car manufacturing industry has been in free fall since the most recent peak of 344,000 vehicles were produced locally just seven years ago, in 2007.In 1960, more than 90 per cent of cars sold in Australia were made locally. In 2005, locally made vehicles accounted for one in four (25 per cent) of all new cars sold. In 2014, less than one in 10 cars (or 9 per cent) was built locally.

I’m always interested in bad language

New South Wales Parliament has officially declared Eddie Maguire a habitual “boofhead”

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/nsw-parliament-officially-labels-eddie-mcguire-a-boofhead-over-adam-goodes-remarks-20150603-ghfnal.html

Do you think there is perhaps something there?

No I do not think there is something there.

Bolt has an anti Adam Goodes campaign going on, so I’ve just submitted a comment. Will it be published?

Apparently the harka is war dance. Ban the All Blacks (and by the way, how is it acceptable to call a team Black when some are white?)

And most amazingly one of our own National Songs idolizes a vagrant criminal who commits suicide when about to be captured by the police! Ban it!

…and it looks as if I qualify as a kook –
