It doesn't matter if you are a school teacher, a doctor or even the president of my football club I will not tolerate racism, nor should we as a society. Im extremely disappointed with Eddie's comments and do not care what position he holds, I disagree with what came out his mouth this morning on radio. To me Eddie's comments are reflective of common attitudes that we as a society face. To me Australia is very casual with racism, I would argue that many people in this country would not think what Eddie or the 13yr old girl said last friday is 'bad'. In my opinion race relations in this country is systematically a national disgrace and we have a long way to go to reach a more harmonious and empathetic society. |
Is he calling for Eddie to step down? |
Memo to Harry and all the other bleeding hearts. I believe there are quite a few boats in storage up Darwin way that you could borrow to leave this country if you choose. 
Just one question though, is it the putrid state of the Gillard government or what, but is the national mood just about as bad as it has ever been in Australia? We are a bit like America under Jimmy Carter longingly waiting for a Ronald Reagan to lift our national spirits. Roll on the September Revolution.

If you really did suffer from the whole <SNIP> thing, I cant believe you don't get it. Maybe you should try and find out how your dad really felt...... |
My old man didn't give a s@&t. He knew that words were words. That's the point. He had friends of every race, because he didn't give a crap about the colour of your skin, he cared about the quality of the person. He was a great man who would bend over backwards to help anyone. There would not be one person who came across him who would have a bad word to say about him. That's why when he died 2 years he had a thousand people at his funeral because people had so much respect for him.
We make so much deal of a few words but some of the posters on these topics who think they have the moral high ground are nasty people and the disgusting names and belittling that they have called those that disagree with them are far worse than the word ape, but this is fine. They don't realise that the things they say are just as bad as what was said to Goodes.

Good on you Harry for standing up to racism, very proud of you mate.
Ed, I know that you know that you cocked up badly, we both know your not a racist but in looking for a cheap gag you put something out that that can and will be taken as racism and has offended people. Take your lumps mate and do whatever it takes to atone because I think that not only you and I but the broader community and the multicultural community at large know you are better than that.

another Sergio Garcia moment, this time from Eddie Everywhere. Seems like even Eddie is a little bit racist deep down in his own way (reminds me of a broadway musical - $10 to the person who can pick the line). Sadly, it came out today. Its not funny and it wasn't an accident......
And while we are at it, I really hate people telling us to move on about hthings they said that they are uncomfortable about. We'll tell you when we are ready to move on Eddie if you don't mind. |

It is karma. Right now I'm just about ready to go into hibernation until that glorious Sunday on September 15 when this awful government that has turned Australians against each other is consigned to the trash bin of history. As George Harrison sang, "Here comes the sun." But right now I have never seen the mood so bleak in this country."
Why don't you parachute into Martin Ferguson's seat Eddie, now that the last remaining decent Labor member has called it quits on his political career (rats leaving a sinking ship).

Apes, king kong.... Maybe i'll kick up a storm to the media and get all upset the next time someone calls me a w0g on the footy field as has happened to me weekly for the past 20 years!!!
Oh, thats right... I'm a little bigger than that. 
Sticks and stones people, sticks and stones.....
(Oh, and that refrence wasnt an attack on our indiginous friends.... Just in case its read that way!!!) |
+1. I'm guessing the reference was aimed at a few of the self righteous posters on here calling everyone racist and every other name under the sun.

Spot on. You all know that when they call me a troll they are being nice.
That's the problem with taking the high moral ground, you always get the rug pulled out from under you. In theological terms it is called original sin as everybody has the propensity to **** up.
It always amuses me these PC merchants who take the high moral ground. What moral ground? Most of them (as secularist atheists) are moral relativists. According to that theory there are no OBJECTIVE grounds at all for moral beliefs. Hypocrisy. This week has exposed a lot of it.

Merely clumsy mumblings of a man probably tired and worn out by all the events of the last few days.

There a couple that I have noticed over the years that are disgusting people, that you would not want to spend 5 minutes in a room with. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.

Lads, ease up on the venom yeah?
Everyone's been at each other's throats so much the last few days that I think we've all lost sight of the issues completely.
As far as I'm concerned (others may disagree, and that's perfectly fine) but this whole issue is in regards to the amount of consideration people need to have towards others (Black, White, Asian or otherwise), and to think before they say things that can be hurtful, or can be interpreted that way. For those that mean to sling racist insults, it's obviously reprehensible and inexcusable. For those that may utter a word or say something which they don't fully understand the power of, they need to be educated and have the damage these words can do explained to them.
A lot of this has now just collapsed into a mess of anger and vitriol going both ways (and I'm not claiming to be innocent here, as I've thrown some insults too). When discussing all of this, I feel we're kind of losing sight of it all by getting aggressive and personal over it.

Goodes REFUSES to accept Eddie's apology.
I'm afraid the only honourable thing for Eddie to do is resign from the Presidency position.
