Dean Young and Robbie Farrah exchange?

No it isn't you clown.

Do you know what the word discrimination means?

Depends.
If you have your own unique interpretation of it, then no.
If your referring to the universal interpretation, being the treatment towards any individual or society based on class and category, then yes.
You'll find 'sledging' also falls into that category, you can butter it up with all the pretty words you want, but it's the same.

Don't you find it odd that the only time people blow up at sledging is when racial slurs are involved?

Thats off the bat should tell you one is more serious than the other.

You're again using falacies again by implying all insults are on par with one another.

 

[mrpwnd]

That's a fallacy if I've ever seen one. Equating offense with immaturity. While downplaying and subliminally defending the racists.

See people this is the modern racist at work. They believe victims of their bullsh*t should just cop the taunts and not react, at all.

"Yes massa, thanku massa, can i have another watermelon sir"

It's hilarious that you talk about mental fortitude. I'm bathing in the f**king irony.

I'm glad you think that mate. But get over it, society is so filled with casual racism you'd also be at guilt for falling into that mould at least some point in your life. Unfortunately, I won't hang you for that because humans in general are a walking example of contradiction and irony.
Try read my post again and see if I truly am 'defending' the racists. Read it carefully and you'll see i'm not having a wankfest over Hitler.

I just called you a clown. Was I discriminating against you ?

That is why society is attempting to stamp out racism. Like for example not condoning racial based attacks on the sporting field.

Now that is just flat out bullsh!t. We all know Poms don't bathe.

No, look at Ennis.
Get's into a fair few scuffles over blokes he's pissed off. Never been racist, just 'innocent' sledging, oh wait, it's just 'immature'. I'm pretty sure whatever he's said to those blokes must've been on 'par' with some form of racism.

Or how about Slater's comment on Corey Patterson's depression? Because it's not racism it's just immaturity?
You'll find sledging has much more deeper roots than just 'immature' and 'racist/offensive'.
Can't say I really care, not my agenda, not my business. Merely an outlook that I try to have so as to not overly contradict myself.

Yes, I suppose you were.
But hey, i'm happy mate, good to know your taking the piss over this.

You're defending racism by proxy. By down playing the seriousness of it and putting it on par with any other insult.

Imagine the outroar if i said rapists shouldn't be punished any more severely than someone who robbed a f**king milkshake from McDonalds. As crime is crime.

You understand how geniused that sounds, right? Well that's how you come across.

Your quasi-intellectual posts might look okay on face value; Unfortunately for you anyone with basic comprehension skills can see through you.

Go out and tell someone they have a funny looking face, no issue. Go about shooting off racist insults at people. Tell me how long you get by before the pigs are knocking at your door :lol:

Yes. I found it offensive because I naturally wear size 28 shoes and have a large bulbous red nose, and I don't entertain children.

 

[Pete Cash]

Plenty of people called Slater a dog for his comment. It isn't as if Billy Slater is Mr Popular.

If a Raider got busted for racially attacking a player on the football field I would feel just as strongly about it.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Sledging is still a form of discrimination, so your saying one form of discrimination is allowed whilst another isn't?
It either gets banned or not, don't get this jibe about 'Oh it's okay to say this about them, just don't say that'.
For the record, I don't care what players say, anyone with the more mental fortitude than a 5 year old can handle insults.

:lol: How the f**k did you get into USyd, or any university for that matter

Name one instance in which I 'downplay racism'.
Of course it's an issue in which we can all say that there is a severe degree of 'seriousness' to it. I merely state the reality of it in that it's so casually thrown about that it's hard to attack it directly without contradicting ourselves at some point.
What a gross exaggeration to even compare it to rapists and an apparent theft from McDonalds.
I don't want to escalate this into a 'racism vs non-racism' sort of thing, that's not my intention, I merely replied to Pete's comment stating that there are also varying degrees of 'sledging' that also intend to offend and discriminate as much as racism does.
Kapeesh?

 

[mrpwnd]

:lol: How the f**k did you get into USyd, or any university for that matter

Well, for starters, I don't support the Raiders.
Maybe you could start there aye?

Well getting someone angry isn't a crime. Racism is.

As for Corey Patterson. IMO that was out of order. But you can't just put a blanket statement on that sort of thing, it's entirely subjective. A guy who suffers from acne is fair game to be sledged. Sledging someone for depression is some other sh*t.

You're downplaying racism by comparing it to any other sledge in your suggestion that if racist sledging is banned all sledging should be banned. As if to imply they're on an equal footing.

This is elementary stuff.

You seem to be playing devils advocate for the sake of it.

 

[Fingerbang]

And what makes pimples fair game? Acne is a condition just like depression is.

There-in lies my point.
I generally don't think players would get angry over standard and immature insults and merely elected to point that out.
Course, I do apologize to anyone who interpreted my posts as some sort of invitation to racism.

Are you stupid? You can't see the difference between ribbing someone for acne and ribbing someone suffering depression?

One is liable to kill himself, the other is liable to get some acne cream. Do the math broham

I personally know someone who got depression because of a bad case of acne that caused excessive ridicule from other people. He didn't kill himself, but it had crossed his mind. Now tell me that is stupid.
