I have just read through 48 pages of this stuff, and have pretty much worked out who the posters on here that have IQ's over 40, and the ones that fit into the imbecile category.
THEMANONTHEHILL is clearly the most sensible of all the posters on here. He calls it how he sees it, and believe me he is right on the money.
Chemically produced 'recreational' drugs in this country are out of control. The reasons are many.
The fact that we paid a galoot from London more than double what the Prime Minister was getting paid to be the Police Commissioner, and spent over 100 million dollars to sack a grand total of about 7 police and have about 2000 good cops leave the job in disgust over the past 10 or so years (all at the tax payers expense mind you. Pensions upwards of 50k per year CPI indexed until they die) says it all. Hell, our last Police Commissioner spent the bulk of his 40 year career doing rosters in a piddly little country cop shop and the rest of it pushing paper across his desk at the Police Academy and 'SEEKING ADVICE' from spin doctors on how to explain why we have such a wonderful safe state.
I was doing surveillance once on a bloke that had just committed 2 violent armed robberies and a home invasion where the victim nearly died. After being told, I couldn't work even 15 minutes overtime on the job, and if I couldn't scrouge up a car from somewhere myself, I was doing the job on foot, I decided I'd have a go anyway. The bloke was not only doing stick ups and home invasions, but was moving tens of thousands of dollars worth of goey around Sydney on a daily basis.
After the boss ripped up my overtime form, which was in the vicinity of about $75.00, I found out later that I had a team of about 8 pr1cks tailing me and listening devices on my phones for 9 months because someone made a complaint that I was doing a 2nd job putting in stencil driveways on my days off. I worked out that the twits spent over $1000000 on the job, and guess what??? Now the tax payers have to pay me for doing nothing for the rest of my life.
Get rid of the do gooder pencil pushing cops and put someone like Roger Rogerson in the top job for a couple of years and there will be no more pills for the players to take.
Some of you people need to have a reality check. It's a real world out there. Believe the spin you hear on the T.V and have a nice life.
The end of the section for me is:
Joey is the best footballer I have seen in my life. He has provided me years of entertainment. I think the fact that he binge drinks makes him reasonably normal in the Aussie culture. I fell sorry for him being in the spotlight all the time, and having to take medication for depression. I think the fact that he took recreational drugs over a number of years was silly, and sends a bad message out to our kids. I think he should be applauded for having the guts to go on national t.v. and tell it how it is.
The NRL should drug test the players at least once or twice a week. They should keep a decent intelligence base on which players might be taking them. I think the cops should get themselves back in charge of the streets instead of Outlaw Motor Cycle Gangs and Middle Eastern males that make 100's of millions of dollars cooking up and selling these pills.
There...........I've had my spit.
