Reminds me of the gorilla thing a couple of weeks back. I posted that we are all to blame for our obsession with animals being in captivity, and the lack of security, as we all want to get as close as possible. Yet we call out one mother. Bully her into submission. Yet everyone out there using palm oil everyday is killing orangutangs in their thousands. I even got unfriended for it!
It's so easy to poke a stick at one person for everyone's perverse enjoyment. Now let's look at our own behaviour. Cheers.

You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
i think I'll leave it here, with an article that is really scary.
Someone linked it on big footy, I'll be showing both my daughters, one has already given up on Facebook etc, she realises just what a bully machine it can be, funny, she's studying IT at uni!)

I have commented once but I'll take one final fling. Eddie was silly to make the second and third comments, he should know better.But, how many times have Wilson (and others) made disparaging remarks about clubs, officials and players and defended in the name of "investigatve journalism" and "giving the public the (read their version of) truth"? Too many journos and papers think they can say whatever they like, destroy a person's credibility, and if they have to apologise, do it on p21 bottom left corner.
Eddie was directing his comments at someone he doesn't like and who doesn't like him. It was personal not general. Wilson should get over it. Let her now go back and review the Dustin Martin restaurant episode.

No social club like the tribal culture we once enjoyed at Victoria Park. Dwindling crowd attendances. A Muzzled Cheersquad . Stuff this Club . I can't wait for McGuire to go. I'll be celebrating with champagne when it does happen . All proud Pies fans must oppose what's happening to our once great Club.
IF anyone was against rampant political correctness gone crazy, I would have thought itd be you, of all people.

Ask retired lawyers, serving police officers, retired judges, the counsellors who write the family reports. It is a cruel game that works because fake allegations keep children away from dads for two years because that is how long it takes for a court to have a hearing. False allegations are rewarded and never punished and that is now set in stone thanks to Gillard. Most of the allegations are violence in the form of verbal, financial and sexual abuse. There are not any witnesses, proof or police. There doesn't have to be. An allegation is enough now. False allegations are rewarded and so the court system is full of people with personality disorders using DV to destroy other people. That is what we have now.
Quite frankly, this discussion does not belong here. But I have to say your comments are insulting to the real victims of crime out there. My mother was a real victim, several of my friends of my vintage have a simular story. Beaten so bad at three I couldn't walk for a while, I saw my mother humiliated every day, and once, knocked out cold. At 18 I stood in front of my fathers fist before it connected with her face. I still bear the scars of my bully father in my soul, it took me years to get some self esteem. Decades. My mother is in the ground, beaten down, she became ill, cancer twice, and then finally dementia. He lives alone, far away, not 1 friend left. Twisted still. I talk to him once in a blue moon, for my piece of mind that I'm not so damaged I'd spit out my own father. But I will never forgive him. And I can never forget. Thanks so much for the tears running down my face right now. I'm about to hit the gym to stop them cold.
I'm sure there is woman out there telling lies. But don't kid yourself there isn't even more woman hiding an evil secret they are too damn scared to tell.
Very very poor form, PM is not responsible for your tears, because he holds an opinion that counter to your life experience, which by all accounts would seem counter to his, once again, it must fall in favor of the female narrative ey? nice twist, are you actually Caroline?

Museman, that is a disgraceful response. Both TP (who I know and respect) and Perth Magpie are victims. One is a victim by being denied access to his children due to false allegations of violence made against him and TP was a victim along with her family due to a violent and destructive man who it would seem brutalised others at ever opportunity.
Both of these follow Pies people deserve our respect, understanding and support.
We are in this position because people these days are so easily lead and over reaction and a lack of common sense is the preferred option and remedy
