pynchme,

Aren't you the champion of misrepresentation and baseless accusations. Good work! I like your style.

'That you can say you "laughed my ass off" at any aspect of Ms. Brimble's death'

I laughed my ass off at the imaginative emotive fiction put up as fact by another poster, not at any aspect of Ms. Brimble's death.

'actively minimize; discount and laugh at it'
Example?

Anything like suze's 'Big strong unfaithful Tiger is well able to look after himself and doesn't need all the women-haters of the world feeling sorry for him and his little wounds- poor baby!'. I notice you make no comment on that at all.

Oh, that's right, he's a man. A typical cheating one aye... 'Maybe all the years of 'princes' screwing around has killed any fairytale romantic notions females once had.'
I laugh my ass off again at your bitterness.

I note that you posted a link to my story. I'm sure you're too thick to understand as sharkfin was but it was merely to mirror back to her the use of imaginative emotive fiction.

BTW: Please refer to Tiger as Mr Woods please, to Bush as Mr George Bush, and I would now like to be addressed as Sir Houellebecq.

Sorry foxy, knew what you meant just being a smart bottom.
And I am enjoying this thread, remember the NRL my game and that long thread.
And still we refuse to see it is indeed human instinct, for some more than others.
Women and men no more one sex than another.
Cash however is far better attractant than anything I know.
We know, each of us, we should try for total commitment with one lifetime partner, and that true happiness can come from just that.
But many fail, it is from religion not nature we get that idea.
And nature drives some to seek many partners.
Tiger fit rich young, brilliant in fact in his sport, has been hunted by some hunter of others so if it is wrong both sides knew it.
Can any one here claim not to be able to name one female celebrity who is no different than Tiger?
No way his wife is to blame, surely if she is not having sex he would leave her?
And yes I truly think he should have known better, did wrong even, in his place, face it, I would be no different.
Bloke down the road can proberly say he has had hundreds of one night stands.
A woman not far away too, unable to name some, but we are not ripping them apart, see they are just normal people.

Oh come on Houellebecq, from what all the men on this post have been saying, IF Mrs Tiger did actually want to beat the c##p out of her loving husband, then he would be violently attacked by several golfclubs while he cowered, screaming in terror, covered in blood, with several splintered bones.

Then, after this violent assault, he drags himself out to the car and drives down his driveway and crashes it, while she continues to beat him through the window!

I don't think so! Could't you guys find someone more deserving to prove your cause than Tiger? We are all aware that both women and men can be violent towards each other. The difference is that we don't need to use celebrities that may or may not have been victims of domestic violence to prove or disprove our point.

There are plenty of victims of both gender out there in the local community. Why don't you reserve your pity for the real, proven victims?

Come suzeonline you tilt at windmills, just as Tigers actions are human nature to talk about them is too.
Your defense of women is commendable, even true, but it comes from your views of what is right or wrong.
Tigers actions , his cheating partners too, come from our basic survival instincts.
Mating with the best partner strong young good liking and best provider [cash?] is something some instinctively will continue to do.
Look deeper into the reasons we act like this, know ideas of sexual equality have nothing to do with these events.
I doubt Tiger used anyone who did not wish to be used, in fact some of the women who have come forward, you can bet on it, have never been closer than a TV screen to him.
And in balance I am sure you will agree men make such unlikely claims daily too.
The story for me is not about male vs female, it truly is about a basic instinct, some can not control, a whole lot of contributors will put Christ in the picture I understand we often resemble a group of monkeys and understand why we do so.

Onya Belly: everyone is here because someone had sex with another human being of the opposite sex. It goes on all the time, and somehow we take a lurid interest in who is doing what to whom. Smelly Peter Spencer sitting unbathed and unfed on top of a tower near Canberra thinks our legal system stinks.

We have a new Premier in New South Wales because some Aussie men are attractive to some women from elsewhere in the world, and it was considered impossible that Nathan Rees would be reelected. Sex pervades everything. Men attract women, women look for the best possible male father for their children, and the whole of society benefits. A Japanese girl meets an Aussie male, and they have beautiful children. Some of the most attractive children are born of mixed race matings.

God did not make a mistake when he created men and women. We travel better in tandem. He does not make mistakes, and you ought to get your mate Julia Gillard to take a hike up the mountain at Shannon’s Flat, before Tony Abbott beats her to it. Your other hero is strutting the world stage, so Julia is top dog right now.

Peter Spencer has got nothing against the climate change activists but is right royally annoyed that he and thousands of other farmers, all over Australia are expected to pay for Australia’s high moral ground. The un-holy alliance between John Howard and the Labor State Premiers allowed this to happen. John Howard is history. He is also right royally annoyed at the complete and utter destruction of the legal system, by the Liberals, and the fact that Labor has so far refused to correct the situation.

It could not have happened except for the collusion between Labor and Liberals but the collusion caused the good legislation passed by Paul Keating’s government to be ignored for eleven and a half years, and only Divine intervention by three votes, gave a Christian leadership of the Australian Labor Party. Only one vote, caused the Abbott, to become Leader of the Opposition

Like Greg Bird's partner?
