Non Footy Chat Thread II

He must think it’s the Chairmans Lounge. By invitation only.

He's already left tiger paw prints everywhere else. One more thread isn't going to make a difference.

A Melbourne afl person now wants to boo the welcome to the country.

The welcome to country is supposed to be a statement of friendship and respect for everyone assembled. Its a symbolic shaking of hands.

I think to reject it is absurd and especially pernicious.

He’s a prick.

See I thought it was a Blondie song, but no. Apparently it's a bible thing and it's happening tonight.

 

[the phantom menace]

Preferred the Blondie song, to be honest...

Raised catholic but now a spiritual man. I find some of the lack of respect towards someones faith on this forum poor.
In a way hypocritical what some things people chose to respect and not to.

I'm not sure the above is Catholic, or spiritual... it appears that a sect/cult think Jesus is coming back to earth at midnight tonight?

People who probably got all of their info and beliefs from youtube, and might be disappointed when they wake up in the morning without even a Blondie earworm to show for it.

I'm not talking about one specific post. It's been going on for a long time. A lot of us have used faith to grief over loved ones we've lost or parents we see getting old so it gives some of us hope and a bit of a gentle feeling leaving the door slightly open.

I have spiritual (non-religious) thoughts too about all that stuff.

Good luck to people who believe in and draw solace from organised religions. But imo the actions of organised religion (or their followers) shouldn't be any more immune from criticism where warranted than anything else.

Being welcomed to your own country is offensive. More woke bullshit.

We don’t actually own land in Australia, only the use of it with the governments or courts final say.

The welcome to country is defined to the peoples who land it was. Different tribes.

It’s not a surrender of political rights.

The voice is a con to the hard left. The socialist alliance say it’s an induction into the system. Part of the scheme to justify the decision makers carry on who don’t change much and continue the advancement of the elite at the expense of the poor.

By that argument, does anyone own any land in any country?

Only ones whose constitution contains a "vibe" amendment.
