Has anyone ever been handed as many opportunities in RL history as this clown?

He debuts at 17 at halfback for the Raiders. His halves partner in the first 2 seasons? One of the all-time greats, Laurie Daley.

Daley retires and Finch gets the keys to the car. He doesn't live up to his potential, packs a sad when his Daddy gets sacked, and after 2 seasons pisses off to the Roosters to partner who in the halves? Another all-time great Brad Fittler. Fittler carries him to his Origin debut in 04. He plays like shit and gets dropped for the decider.

Fitter retires and he regresses back to the shit player he truly was. Sticky shifts him to hooker and benches Craig Wing who had made the 9 jersey his own. After about 5 other halfbacks go down injured, Finch gets another Origin start in 06 and pulls off one of the biggest flukes in RL history by kicking the winning field goal. He goes back to his normal shit self in game 2 though and is dropped again for the decider.

Roosters fans get sick of him (FOFF), he tells them to kiss his arse during a post game interview. Sticky sacks him and he's sent packing to Parra.

Finch brags about how the Eels had the best backline in the NRL (lol). They win SFA. Daniel Anderson comes in and gets rid of him right away. He ends up where?...Oh Melbourne right next to Cooper Cronk in the halves.

He's carried to an illegal premiership in 09, playing the Eels in the GF no less. Somehow Melbourne thought it was a good idea to breach the salary cap to obtain him.

As soon as they're caught, Finch is obviously the first to go. He joins the biggest club in the UK, the defending premiers at the time, Wigan. They carry him to a challenge cup win in 2011. He returns to the NRL in 2013 and somehow gets re-signed by the defending premiers, Melbourne.

He retires at the end of 2013, gets a job with channel 9 and gets sacked for no-showing due to being a drunk and a coke fiend.

He somehow gets a job at Fox and somehow f**ks that up to. He gets sacked after looking like he's coked up and tweaking on the Matty Johns podcast.

He also gets a job on the Radio with Hadley and no-shows that to snort coke all day. He gets sacked from that gig too.

How does this guy get so many opportunities?

If you go back in History the Romans for an example were into all types of things- Women/Men/Children/Animals etc - Royalty married siblings and cousins as well

There is nothing new that hasn't happened before.
Yes. The Romans also cleaned their teeth using their own urine and considered obesity to be attractive, Thankfully we progress - however slowly. My Labrador is still very attractive though.

Oh yeah, FOFF. Yet another LU classic from the past.

Not making any conclusions as to guilt or innocence in this specific case, but I have wondered if this category of crime would be the next thing to be dragged under the "mental health" umbrella. I mean they already do it for probably the one thing worse than this: murder. People have got extremely light sentences or even no prison time at all for killing if they can convincingly make a case related to mental health. I haven't yet heard it in this area but I have felt that it was only a matter of time before a defense lawyer went there.
What does your police experience tell you ?

That might be the meaning of the word but that is far form the primary focus of the movement in the modern day.
The only people who use the expression these days are people using it as an insult. What is this "movement" you speak of? As with most things the majority of people do the right thing by trying to treat people equally and support minorities etc. It's only the people at the extremes who are trying to "ruin" it for everyone.

This arguement has been coming a while - and as disgusting as it is, there is an element of rationale in it.
If we are to agree, as is now commonly accepted, sexual orientation is not a ‘choice’ and people are either born straight/gay, and have no choice in who they find sexually attractive, the question could be posed that peados cannot help it - it’s how they’re born. What it doesn’t do though is make child porn or acting on those sexual urges acceptable. Another potential proposal would be that peados are all suffering a serious mental illness, something has happened that has made their brain not work right, and if that’s the case, should they not get afforded the same protection as other mental health issues (schyzos etc)….
I say all that playing devils advocate, I do think they’re mentally deranged, and the ones that act on it in anyway are beyond help - they should all be chemically castrated at 1st offence.
Just as gays and straights can choose whether to act upon their attractions, so too can pedos. Most blokes will find most young women attractive, but that doesn't mean they are somehow forced to hit on them.
