And your evidence for this assertion is??? 
FAR too easy to make wild claims here without them not being based on evidence dude.....  |

 What, they're all on the injured list too? I know Dawes twinged a hammy and Harry stuck his hand through a glass window, and Cloke might be suspended from the club for driving while under suspension. The pain continues. |

Don't get me started on how soft this society really is.
I'd love to see a good dose of the Spartan ethos introduced quick smart. I blame the welfare/nanny state - seriously! |

Haven't you seen "300"? The Spartans lost.

My point precisely you Disney tool. 
The Spartan 300 fought knowing they would certainly die at the Pass of Thermopylae, but in the process they allowed the other Greek armies time to mount a serious defence (which succeeded with the naval battle of Salamis). My point is that there was such a commitment to objective moral values that these men were happy to die for a bigger cause. So were our ANZACS.
You know, we wouldn't even muster a cricket team to go to Gallipoli these days. |

Damn, if they were firing pepperoni I'd be running around the ship holding a pizza crust.

Objective moral values? What, like nationalism, religious fundamentalism and tribal ethnic superiority?
Yeah, we need them back quick smart.

It's not society's fault you're not talented enough to be paid six figures. You'll just have to stop the envy sulking and self pity and get up earlier and train harder

I agree, lets get rid of the outdated concept of 'property' and share our women around. And toss our weak or unwanted children off a cliff .......
That'd be an investment for the future. Get rid of Geelong supporters before they have a chance to mature and respawn |
