I'm a bit unclear about what you want. Surely in a free society people can make comments that others may find offensive. In a debate about religion, abortion, euthanasia or politics people are bound to say things that offend others. If you don't allow this then surely we would be like China or North Korea.

Blame Obama. He called out Progressives & Wokes for their smugness. You can check it out on You Tube.

I think you're right. She has been a bit secretive lately.

Nice work Col to ignore me. A lot easier than debating the issue. I note that you hardly ever answer any specific criticisms you just launch into a history lesson complete with video clips. Cancel culture is mainly inflicted by progressives so I'll wear that proudly.

Jesus Goffy talk about pessimism. I'm happily married but I've found out the neighbour's wife was unfaithful so now I have to spy on my wife because there's a chance she'll be unfaithful as well.

Nice work. Whenever you keep it under 50 words and resist the temptation of giving us a history lesson you make lots of sense.

If you want to live in a democratic society that has freedom of speech you have to put up with views that you find disagreeable.

The correct answer would have been to put your hand up & admit you couldn't help yourself.

Can't help it can you Colin - every comment has to include a lecture showing us how morally superior & clever you are. You are simply stating the obvious - that cultural norms change over time. What was acceptable in the 30's, 50's or 80's is not acceptable now. And if you watched Kamahl's interview about this matter he stated that Australia was a lot less racist than India or Malaysia where he & his family came from. PS - And stop being so blatantly dishonest- nobody has said that racial abuse was started by on line trolls.

Most sensible post on this issue. As long as there is anonymity there will be lowlifes doing this. Its how they get their kicks. All the outrage and condemnation in the world will not stop it.

I was wondering whether posters would try to score points or focus on the main issue.

The way to stop this is for social media platforms make people identify themselves when they join up. As long as people can post stuff anonymously it encourages scumbags to troll & post abusive material.

It actually proves that humans can do stupid things.

Yes 50 words of nonsense is much better than 500 words of nonsense.

With that attitude its a good job you are not sitting as a judge in the NT juvenile courts. The rate of incarceration with your attitude would be close to 100% with a large number of Indigenous people included.

Of course all the enslaving and colonising and rape and pillage was done by Europeans except for the Incas, Aztecs, Plains Indians, Japanese, Mongols, Maoris, Persians, Egyptians, Zulus, Chinese Babylonians, Arabs, Turks & a few others. You are a historical nincompoop- go back to school.

Quiet right. I think you should set up an Inquisition and investigate anyone who is not actively anti racist and take them to task. Maybe you shouldn't get a job or a passport unless you have demonstrated your anti racist history.

Oh God help us a Dieter & Flaubert love in.

Try & keep it to 50 words. Its pretty incoherent and are you maybe trying to impress people by quoting a lot of biographies ? And why are you only concerned with anti black racism ? Isn't all racism a problem ?

Well there is quiet a difference between those calling for an appropriate penalty for his comments and the lynch mob calling for blood and wanting to destroy Walker. There are plenty of the latter on Demonland.

There will always be a minority that does the wrong thing. Just because we outlaw domestic violence & tell everyone to stop doing it doesn't mean it will go away completely.

Bringing in fresh faces is the obvious thing to do but Goody is extremely stubborn & I reckon he will pretty much stick fat with the current 22.

Checker Hughes & Norm Smith - that is one of the all time great photos of our game.

I really like Lockhart but on Saturday his disposal was terrible. Missed his targets regularly and on top of that I counted 3 OOTF. He will not make it unless he drastically improves his kicking.

Totally agree - must have been written by his mum or manager. I have watched Toby closely for a while & agree he has a lot of talent he lacks consistency & goes missing for long periods. Regularly getting 12 or 13 touches at VFL level is not going to get him promoted & to suggest he replace Viney is delusional.
