Rumours and Stuff

[Haynzy]

The irony.

Just remember hypocrites, you were the first ones to decide that Hindy111 and then me, were acting in a racist manner. I then defended myself. And sure peoples words can be interpreted as racist or disparaging, but we are supposed to be intelligent human beings. Use those big brains of yours and work it out.

It ain't that hard.

We did, we worked you both hold racist views.

 

[TheRam]

Ummm....says who? I'm not getting into the racism debate but that's a pretty wild assumption.


ABS worked out the numbers and they suggest that Indigenous people are 1.5 times more likely to be obese. Whilst BMI isn't the only method of assessing health and body shape, it is a widely used indicator.
Might be best to fact check before making these kind of sweeping statements.

HOW DO THESE RATES COMPARE WITH THE RATES FOR NON-INDIGENOUS PEOPLE?

After adjusting for differences in age structure between the two populations, the combined overweight/obesity rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over were similar to those for non-Indigenous people (rate ratio of 1.1). However, obesity rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander females and males were higher than the comparable rates for non-Indigenous people in every age group. Overall, after adjusting for differences in age structure between the two populations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were 1.5 times as likely as non-Indigenous people to be obese (rate ratio of 1.4 for males and 1.7 for females).

Who the hell is talking about people who are over weight for a myriad of reasons. We are solely referring to the athletic (NRL aspiring) ones, but I feel you already know that, but are just building a straw man argument.

You're a hoax.

Shit, I get up in the morning and discover that someone has turned this into the Eugenics thread....

 

[TheRam]

No. But there is a difference between being a racist and saying racist things. That distinction is often missed. Try telling an Aboriginal person that saying that they are only half Aboriginal is 'just banter' and see how that goes down.

I get that they are sensitive about this, but as long as it isn't said to imply that they are somehow less of a person, there shouldn't be a problem.

I mean if someone was to say to a person of say Pakistani and Italian descent that they were only half of either, I don't think that they would take offense to that. Unless it was in some contextual sense a put down.

Does anyone drink soft drink daily?

Ive pretty much given up soft drink all together ... if i want something more than just water i have natural mineral water

Only time i have soft drink is if i mix it with alcohol ... which i have a bottle of every night ... thats not bad is it?

[Noise]

I do! But I gave up coke for Coke Zero which means I'm healthy as

By 'gave up coke' I really meant I lessened my intake..which is nothing like giving up

Soda pop gives me gas....
Water coffee tea and wine give me my natural glow and makes my greasie oily Mediterranean Descendant skin shine

 

[Green River Eel]

Racism's so over rated, when i get called racist i lap it up, being labelled racist means absolutely nothing, the funny thing is that the people who cry 'thats racist' assume you're going to be upset with being labelled as one lol

Well since we are back on it, its not the same for an Aboriginal person. Not even close. You can't compare them with Italians Pakistanis or anyone else for that matter. This is a group of people who have historically had their culture and identity robbed from them and talking about them in terms of how 'pure' their blood is is just the same thing over again.

I don't for a minute think that your mind will be changed though Ram so we might need to agree to disagree. It's pretty clear that there's two types of people on here.

All indigenous forwards that played in 2016

Broncos: Thaiday, Waddell
Bulldogs: Garvey, Elliott
Titans: James, Peats, Bird
Cowboys: Thompson,
Sharks: Fifita, Fifita, Graham,
Dragons: Thompson
Panthers: Latu, Grevsmuhl
Souths: Turner
Roosters: Friend

These are purely off the top of my head. That's quite a significant number considering the Indigenous population makes up only 2.4% of the total population. Your argument is flawed and you've resorted to petty name calling to try and distract from the fact you're talking out of your ass.
