What’s that got to do with whether gays are also second class? Are you saying 3rd world countries also hate gays and we only tolerate them in our first world?
Homosexual acts are illegal in many third world countries. Only in the West are the people who perform those acts not only recognised by the government but specifically protected from discrimination.

I grew up near St Mary's. It's fine. Few battlers around trying their best. Real working class.
You have to admire people who get up and do what they can to get by and many on low incomes. I have much More respect for that then some privileged educated entitled eastern suburbs that that wants to travel the world and experience new cultures. Ffs
Here's a tip, they don't want to experience different cultures, they just want to look at them.

nfl probably do it better where each player can dedicate their shoe design to the charity or cause of their choice for certain rounds.

Who can notice their shoes, though?

It's a very NFL thing to do - safe, a bit of a fence-sitter, and mildly impractical.

I never said that it is how a club should be run. What I did say is that there are plenty of big dollar corporations who would choose not no be aligned with a sporting club that does not represent their values. That's pretty obvious isn't it ?
sure, i just expanded on it. but it goes both ways. you can't set up a process that paints people into a corner, especially without consultation. maybe they need to highlight public issues a better way where everyone feels comfortable, which wouldve been the outcome if they spoke to the players weeks before. but anyhow its manly so f**k them

they promote it before the games where each player shows their shoe and talks about what it means to them. they probably then flog it off for more charity dollars after the game. but everyone gets onboard because they can relate to it and it makes them feel like they are making a difference.

Cool!

I was unaware of that.

That's a good idea.

some people are born in 3rd world countries just trying to get enough food and water to survive. Religion gives them something to beleive in.
Whilst i agree with religion giving hope. "Religion" and the catholic church could also end world poverty within a matter of months if they wanted to. But doing so would harm them, as the less people praying and giving the very little they have in the name of "hope" the less tax-free cars and houses their top brass are afforded.

No they couldn't. Money is an abstract concept that represents the goods and services that can be purchased with it. But the exchange rate isn't fixed. Most of the obscene figures that do exist only exist because of concentration. Basically, if the Catholic church distributed all their wealth in an equal manner most of it would essentially cease to exist. There would be no material effect on poverty.

In Western society, if you want to compare a gay person with a kiddy fiddler, that’s your right.
