I have just read what Troppo wrote and it is disgraceful!
It's types like Troppo that gives Collingwood supporters a bad name but Nick's allowing of this sort of behaviour is very worrying.

[Culprit]

Culprit's reference to "Jewish Stocktake" is blatantly anti-semitic.
Are there any moderators here?
If Nick's permits this sort of behaviour then a complaint should be made to the Club.

Piss off, it's said everywhere. What are you the thought police? Complain to the club to you tosser.

You best start closing the internet down too.

Gee, impeccable references... *sigh*... if you can't see that that's antisemitic, or you think that it's acceptable to say in a public forum such as this, then I'm afraid you've got some more serious issues that need to be addressed...

[call me frank]

[Culprit]

No worries, I think you are a tosser. Some may agree or disagree on this public forum.

Culprit, I just checked coolslang which you are quoting as a source to justify your use of anti-semtic terms. Coolslang also gives references for [snip], coon and gook. Which presumably it also considers to be acceptable slang. I didn't bother checking your urbandictionary reference. I have better things to do with my time than read the works of racist dickheads. If you want to prove that your racist jokes are "said everywhere" I suggest you find some sources that are compiled by people with IQs larger than their shoe size.

[Dr Pie]

I notice that Nicks automatically replaced the "n" word with the phrase "I am racist." To repeat, I quoted the"n" word from coolslang which you used to justify your racist joke. Doesn't that tell you something?

[Culprit]

Richard Carlton said it beautifully, "Dick Pratt is a crook who built a reputation as a generous philanthropist with other people's money."

[London Dave]

The fact that he is Jewish is irrelevant and I dont understand why there is any refernce to it.

I have no sympathy for him.

Pratt is a little like Pat Rafter. He says he lives in a tax haven and pays no tax. Then with the tax that he should have paid to Australian citizens, he says he will donate to a charity of his choosing.

Pity we call cant do that and be praised for our philanthropy.

As for Pratt who admitted his company ripped off fellow Australians, using part of the stolen money to get kudos by donating to charities doesn't cut it in my book.

He has admitted what he is. He returned his Order of Australia.

It is sad for his family but the praise he is receiving is quite frankly a little sickening, almost as sickening as some of the comments that appear in this thread.

Spot on. In plenty of other countries, he'd be dying in the nick now.

[Prometheus]

Why isn't the old prick in jail ?

... and that wife of his ... my god , I would't bang her with a stolen dick.

[JacJacJacqui]

Personally don't care about slang. It is what it is.

Have to say, I agree with you MG (I know, doesn't happen often but obviously it does happen!), no sympathy from me either. He should be in jail.

[Simone]

This crap will go on and on in the newspapers and it's laughable, if it wasn't so serious. They are truly trying to rewrite the man's history in a very favourable light. Lauding the man as a great Australian. Policitians, journos and all manner of celebrities giving this crook the accolades he truly does not deserve. I find it really hard to believe to be honest. And no sympathy from me, he lied and he has cheated and stole off hardworking Australians doing it tough at the moment. He should be in jail.

[MACDAICOS]

Apparently the funeral directors have told Jeannie the of the urn will be $500, but if they put it in a cardboard box it will cost $5,000.

LOL.

[Benno]

People die every day. Who cares.

Next.

For me Magpie Greg has called as it ought to be. The fact that Pratt is Jewish is irrelevant. However the reason why posters like Swoop 42, Dr Pie, Harry Z, me & others are concerned is the fact that posters such as Troppo, Culprit etc specifically made reference to the fact that Pratt was Jewish. Culprit's defence is laughable if it wsn't so ignorant.
He was a crook, got busted, pleaeded guilty, faced huge public shame & opprobrium is a good thing. This is the place of debate or decalration not his ethnicity especially so when its snide "whats the matter can't take a joke eh?" - "everyone else does it" doesn't cut it. I'm amazed the moderators allowed this through.
