hahaha!!
Even though that was unintentional.
OK fair enough, he was in remorse but you really could have just said: "It's just another player that cant handle thier piss"
That will probably be deleted.
ha ha - subtle as a sledge hammer cools, but i like it
my response was to the post that still stands - it was not to anything that was removedThen why remove it? Why can't we all get the enjoyment of the humour?
It's a common theory that people with an "island" heritage can't hold their alcohol as well as most Anglo's can. This is not a racist comment, it's purely an observation based on genetics. After all most of us that have a European ancestry have been enjoying alcoholic beverages since Jesus was a pup.
There's always exceptions to every rule of course, and I guess also it could be misconstrued that stereotyping a certain race in a general sense would appear racist.
Quite frankly I think it's a crock of sh*t all this PC bullsh*t, I think the world needs to buy some Areldite and harden the f**k up.

So they say cools. Applies to original Australians as well some say. However, I used to just take this theory and run with it till I investigated it and can't find a single definitive study or genetic fact about it.
I reckon you're on the money about all this PC excreta though.
Too bad Viagra only hardens up certain areas.
The 'who can handle their acohol' could be a idea for a new tv show. Several contestants imbibe before a live audience. The last one left standing wins.
I'm hearing ya Frenzy, the theory is less a difference in genetics from race to race but rather a evolutionary one where as certain drugs have been introduced earlier in a particular race's heritage, therefore the Euro's have had more time to adapt to it's effects.
You're right in saying that there's probably no scientific evidence to support this claim, rather than what is observed in our society today. Hence the theory in the first pace.
I'm a very anti anti depressants, that has been introduced in our culture in the last 20 years. Mainly targeting us whitey's as the major source of use/revenue. In most cases you can revert back to my Areldite theory to which the GP's and pharmacuetical industries have a lot to answer for imo.
I'd win that contest.
All that stuff that "blacks cant handle it" stuff is all total bullsh*t and just further adds to peoples prejudice.
Theres some people on Anti-Depressents who'd probably be dead now without them.
Strange views indeed Coolum.
There are SOME people on AD's that need to take them to survive I agree. Not half the freakin population though and thats exactly where it's heading.
As far as the other thing, I think I'll leave it there. A trip to NQ might challenge some of your belief systems though.
we touched on this topic so I thought some would be interested in this article

Aboriginal drinking myths debunked
By JOEL GIBSON - SMH | Thursday, 18 September 2008
Is there anything particularly Aboriginal - or un-Aboriginal - about alcohol?
Why are indigenous people more often teetotallers than non-indigenous people, according to statisticians?
Why do those who drink consume more, more often?
These were some of the questions that confronted Maggie Brady as she researched the history of Australia's first people and one of the nation's first loves - grog.
The resulting publication, First Taste: How Indigenous Australians Learned About Grog, is the first account of its kind.
It will, she hopes, separate fact from fiction about Aborigines and alcohol, for indigenous drinkers, health workers, policymakers and the general population.
The myths are many and the facts are often surprising.
Dr Brady writes, for example, that it was probably not Europeans who introduced alcohol to Australia, but Makassan traders from Indonesia on their annual fishing trips, from about 1720.
Nor was alcohol only introduced: in at least three areas - Tasmania, south-west West Australia, and Borroloola - indigenous brewers fermented light alcohol from banksia cones, gum sap and pandanus nuts.
In the Sydney region, she found that the first documented offering of a drink to a native - by the future governor Philip Gidley King in 1788 - was promptly spat out. "Fire in eyes, fire in nose, fire all over!" was the unnamed taster's critical review.
Each of these discoveries added to a body of evidence that indigenous drinkers did not have a biological "weakness" for alcohol - a colonial misconception that survives today, she said.
They learned how to use it and abuse it from the best in the business - the English, who arrived fresh from the London "gin craze" of the early 1700s and who drank at breakfast, lunch and dinner. By the 1820s, they had built 13 breweries in the Sydney area and by 1850 there were 500 hotels.
But segregation and pub bans for more than a century fostered an indigenous drinking culture unchecked by the niceties of licensed establishments, and drinking grog eventually came to symbolise equality and civil rights.
Missionaries also planted the seed for a strong indigenous temperance movement that lives on in the high proportion of teetotallers and anti-alcohol lobbies in indigenous communities.
Dr Brady, a veteran of 30 years of drug and alcohol research, does not prescribe a course of action for health workers or communities ravaged by alcohol. But she hopes they will understand that drinking habits are learned and can be changed, and that historical baggage still clouds modern debates. "The message is that prohibition can mean many things and that it needs to arise from the grassroots up rather than be imposed. Restrictions work very well if they have [a critical mass in] the community," Dr Brady said.
First Taste is funded by the Alcohol Education & Rehabilitation Foundation and will be released at Parliament House today.
