Your example is silly. From what I can see (there is no link to the source), the oh-so-brave views that are being expressed are standard leftist globalist divide-and-conquer fare, that is, standard "anti-racist" propaganda. For heaven's sake, it looks like something you would find on teh sprts page of the Telegraph, telling us all about the All Stars game while ignoring the fact that it is - by definition - a divisive, racially-selected propaganda show.

So the point you are making makes MY point. Why would this kind of politically-correct thing ever be censored? It is exactly the kind of drivel that the system is set up to promote.

On that other hand, as the Folau case showed, there are plenty of things that we are not allowed to discuss.

Christian Pastors Taken to Court to Silence Criticism of Islam

12 September 2003

Two Christian pastors have been taken to court by the Islamic Council of Victoria
and three Australian Muslims after making critical statements about the Islamic
faith on a website and at a seminar for Christians held in March last year.



I could name a dozen forbidden topics but just to name them would have me banned from this site (not because, for heaven's sake, it is a footie site, but because it would not be PC) . Because THAT IS HOW IT WORKS. It is not just the government involved in this. It is rather a PUBLIC-PRIVATE partnership in government. It is globalism, a CORPORATIST fascist system. The government and Big Tech and Big Business work together on this.

Consider that it was not the Australian Government that punished Folau. It was Rugby Australia. Folau won, but how many people have the financial resources to take on a big organization like that? So the battle was lost but the war was won there. Lesson? Shu tup or be punished.

And as another example, if I post on Youtube something entitled, for example, "US 2020 Election: How it was Stolen", such a discussion will definitely be banned, will it not? The video will be removed. The poster will be de-platformed.

You have heard of the phenomenon of "de-platforming", haven't you? Tens of thosands of people have been de-platformed since November 3rd. So why does the government allow it? Because they are in partnership with Big Tech to rule over us.

It is infamous and wrong that the public square is censored, but the government is quite happy to see it. Because we live under global Fascist Corporatism. And "both" sides of politics are perfectly happy with that.

So again, your example isn't just trivial. It is silly. Maybe instead as an experiment you should put up a billboard saying that COVID is a scam. See how long that lasts - if you can find a private company to create it or host it or a local government to allow you to raise it - and how fast you are arrested. It wouldn't take long.

Try to get some radio time to make an ad like that. You'll have Buckley's.

Soooooo....players like Corey Allan, Cotric, and James Roberts (just to name a few) were available in the off season...yet the spuds in the dragons office go after one of the most controversial characters in world sport. Based off this thread alone, and how divided everyone is, a 10 year old could tell you it would have been an extremely bad idea...what the actual f**k is this club doing?

As a youngster, my father said son, when you grow up, never talk politics or religion and everything will be fine at family gatherings and Christmas Day.

If need be, someone should start a 'Politics' thread so we can leave this one on league.

Will we ever know who on the board was responsible for putting forward this Folau idea?
Did the new CEO (who, up until this has been going great IMO) vote for this, or against this??

The Board of SGI has bought a new level of LOW to this club, again, and IMO they should all go.

Vote of no confidence should be put forward.
We don't get to vote for the St George Illawarra Dragons board.

We can vote for the St George Leagues Club board. St George LC owns 50% of the SGID and there are board members on both boards. So you have some influence as a St George LC member. Only problem is that you have to be a member for 3 years to vote at board elections. Plus there's the thing about who to vote for and how the election is conducted.

I have it on good authority that someone from outside of the mates' lounge is considering standing at the next St George LC board elections. Don't know a great deal at this stage. But when this sort of stuff happens, it tends to shake things up a bit.

82% of eligible voters returned their envelopes.

So even if all the remaining non-voters were to say “no” (which would be highly unlikely anyway as even the most vehemently anti marriage area only registered a 74% no vote) even if we took all votes as negative, it would still be a 51/49 split to yes.

So, no matter what, the majority of Australians are in favour of gay marriage.

I must say that I am stunned by the many ‘ yays for the gays ‘ , I had no idea it was that great . I realize that my posts may have some thinking that I am against them , however that is not the case .

My main beef is with the way they flaunt themselves , also their arrogance , not all of course . However it time for me to leave this subject alone as I do not wish to cause any arguments .

The title is about Folau.

In this instance, it encompasses all 3.

I’m confused.

Is it big tech or big money who are running this thing?

Hey Gareth! That comment was directed at the conspiracy theorist spamming the page with nonsense, not you.

Thank the good lord Paddles , it took me forever to google the bloody word up ( with my arthritis) only to see that clown Trump smiling back at me . Hasn’t that sod gone yet ?

the reason there are so many “yays for the gays” is because these people want everyone to be treated equally.

mate...they “flaunt themselves” and are arrogant? Come on mate...Jesus...are you living in 1955 with the rest of the dragon’s board?

Yeah look at society today. 60% divorce rates, broken families, confusion in opinions, divided opinions. Our kids are the loosers in all this. Its Time everyone repects differenet opinions and stop creating divisions. The left are forcing us all to think their way only. It won't ever happen.
You might have things a little bit upside down there. Respecting different opinions is inclusiveness, eg society that accepts same sex marriage, amongst other things.

I think you're talking about issues that usually come about because of a less caring society.

How about this for an idea... we provide greater social services instead of cutting them back? Or is that too much like socialism?
