Feeling like having a little pick, are we, onthebeach.

Just gotta get that fix, don't you

As I've reiterated several times, the girl is owed an apology by those who mentored her to hurl abuse. Poor kid - so much for so-called civilisation.

I wonder what would have been the case if the local chapter of "Feminists Against Football" had called Goodes an Ape.

You would have stuck up for him then, I assume.

Too funny!

Thanks for your engagement too, Cherful

Dear Cherful,

Firstly let me say - Thank You for your civility.
I watched "Q and A," last night and on the panel
was Linda Burney, Indigenous MP. Someone from the
audience asked her about the Adam Goodes incident
and the way it was handled. She spoke very eloquently
and explained things from an Indigenous perspective
which was a real eye-opener. If you didn't watch
the episode - it may be interesting for you to Google
the transcript of the show. It explains a great deal.

Again - Thank you for your gracious words and if nothing
else - this issue is at least now out in the open and is
being discussed instead of ignored or swept under the rug.

You must have seen a different Q&A to me Lexi, because I recall that while she was fed the line (got to love Q&A), Linda Burney did not in fact agree that the 13yr old was "the face of racism".

Questions were raised about the treatment of the 13yr old child minor.

All abhor racism wherever it occurs. However in trying to do something about it, it is NEVER right or OK to warp the rights of a child minor and treat her the way this child was, both at the ground and later by the media and commentators.

Despite all of the word games by Poirot, he and some others would accord more rights to a common criminal than they would to a child minor. That is damned disgusting and reprehensible.

Who and some "others would accord more rights to a common criminal than they would a child minor..."

What are you blathering about, onthebeach.

Which common criminal do you refer?

I think you should take a little more care who you ascribe what to, matey. It's well known around here that your ability to ascribe words and opinions to people resting on sweet nothing.

As for your hysterical and ongoing diatribe regarding the issue, perhaps a little less drama and a little more balance might be the ticket....at this stage of the proceedings.

Your mania is the stuff that's damned disgusting and reprehensible.

Bluster and bully all you want, Poirot.

It is NEVER right, NEVER OK to warp the rights of a child minor and treat her the way this child was, both at the ground and later by the media and commentators. It was and is disgusting and reprehensible.

Oh, no your don't, onthebeach.

The only person who is blustering and bullying on this issue around here is you....and you're using this young girl's predicament as a vehicle to get yourself a little mileage.

Shame!
