Will be delighted to share with you, but I think you need a psychiatrist’s number. Sense of grandeur and if you talk like you write, a little manic speech.

Israel Folau has been unfairly hounded out of Australian rugby

I suppose Israel Folau could become a full time preacher and claim tax deduction on the basis defending Christianity? He is after all doing God’s work.

Folau's contract officially torn up by RA, but court challenge looms likely

You don’t have to click on the article, you know….

Looks like the Bible boy won this one…

haha!

Nah Lewis has been decent and clinical.

Is the championship already over?

wtf….pretty straightforward. Don’t answer my question with more questions . If you can’t answer them, just don’t reply. You just look like you are cherry-picking. Don’t push your LGBT agendas down my throat, thanks.

pretty disgusting.

Ouch. Broken rib for sure.

Very difficult situation for Semenya. I would err towards accepting her as she is.

Is the Caster Semenya ruling a human rights violation?

Religion should be kept private and not forced on to others. Fair enough.
LGBT agendas should be kept private and not forced on others. Agree or not?
But wait, RA chose a same sex marriage position without consulting the team – isn’t that forced on to the Christian Pacific Islanders who form part of the team?

Shame there seems to be an inability or an unwillingness to recognise bigoted comment towards “deeply committed Christians”, but a lot of sensitivity (rightfully) shown for the LGBT community, even in this forum alone.

I agree with you in principle, but how do you decide what is and what is not inclusive things that one can or cannot say? There is a conflict of values here, some of which are impossible to re-conciliate, particularly between the Abrahamic religions and the LGBT community.

Sad to see such a great talent behave in such a manner, but Prue Macsween need to apologize.

Kyrgios’ camp must throw in the towel

First time she used greek brat could be excused. Second time, she tried to defend herself when questioned by the guy to the right by “greek parents do spoil their kids a bit”. Dangerous territory in today’s world.

haha…I would have thought the climax came when tiafo was about to serve.

Nick, why? The chair has feelings.

The bar has been set. Should be fired.

Who leaked the social media post to the media?

You can criticise their actions privately, but support them publicly?

Milan wrote “hell awaits you both”, similar to Israel Folau’s post “hell awaits you”, but to anyone who reads them in their context, one of them is silly but appears genuine in saving the sinners and the other is malicious and opprobrious.

Israel Folau issues statement after contract termination

Without scrums, rugby union is no different than league. Why can’t there be close-up videos of scrum battles? The rest of the game is increasingly boring, and a little “reality TV” of big ugly men irritating each other and inflicting violence under the guise of sports makes more compelling television.

Why the Wallabies' props are no longer in a bind

I was one of many who wanted Folau sacked when I read he made homophobic statements. Then in the last week, more balanced articles came out. Dawn Grace-Cohen, a long time gay activitist, a lesbian, clinical psychologist wrote that silencing Folau betrays the same sex marriage victory, and I’m inclined to agree. In my opinion, it drive the people with moderate views to choose a side, and it has been framed as homphobia versus freedom of speech/religion, and I think the topic is more nuanced. Today, a work colleague facebooked Folau’s post, stating if anyone wants to lose their job, “like this”. There were quite a few “likes”, but I’m guessing they are “liking” his post rather than Folau’s. It was the first time I have actually read Folau’s post, and I struggle to understand why it has been perceived as “homophobic” or at least why it has attracted such initial condemnation. Seems to me to be proselyting. I find the presentation and colours of the meme more offensive than the message itself. I “liked” it – let’s see if I have a job tomorrow.
