Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Anzac Day in NZ
Should be a big game actually with the 100 year anniversary.

No chance of watching it up against the Melbourne based game though!

If it's the opening game and with the time difference the NZ game will probably be over before the game at the 'G'

Yes, they say kick-off is 11am AEST. But that would mean Ch.7 interrupting usual Anzac Day programming to broadcast the game, can you imagine that happening? I cannot see them or Foxtel ditching their usual Anzac Day pre-game.

But regardless, what we should really be outraged about is that CheatsFC retains Anzac Day and will forever sully the event!

I mean JHird strides out on the MCG on Anzac Day like some sort of glorious wounded gladiator, his head will swell so much it might explode!

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: So long and thanks for all the fish
MM is not into signing potential coaching replacements, blokes how might replace him down the road. Because he's been down there, he knows that road, he knows exactly where it ends, and we know that is not where he wants to be! ;)

The Sports Desk / Re: Formula 1
Yes, stupid thing is for all the money they spend on the track they don't put collision underride guards on the heavy vehicles. Something so basic that is relatively cheap, is already fitted to many on road semi-trailers, might have made a massive difference.

Instead this poor guy gets it in the head from the tractors counterweight.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Casboult To Play As A Permanent Ruckman
I'd be surprised if Jones went FF, he weakest attribute is when he is being stood by a KPD, body on body is not his thing.

Jones strength is that he is an ultra mobile tall, he can play a Walker type role on a FF or even a Wing and really hurt opponents in the air and on the ground.

I could see us rotating rucks off the bench and having guys like Everitt, Jones and Walker in a FP, FF and Wing rotation.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Rock the Casbah
It is the religion that is the matter.   >:(

All religions are the problem as they are all unfounded belief systems unsupported by fact, in other words fantasies about deities!

The only true purpose for religion as far as I can tell is as a tool of the intelligentsia to put the fear of some supernatural power into the utter lunatics who transgress societies boundaries. Religion is the tool most useful in controlling the morally ambiguous or the down trodden, it's better than law in this respect.

Laws work out of a sense of fairness, religion works out of a sense of fear, both are misappropriated by malevolent!

But on the main subject, ISIS and Islam, for me that Haider kids religion has nothing to do with his death, or with the behavior of ISIS. That kid is dead because he stabbed two police officers, many now wish to make this a religious issue which it clearly isn't because he'd still be dead if he was agnostic, if he hadn't stabbed people he would still be alive today! ISIS has no religion, they just use religion as a cover for otherwise anarchic activities that are diametrically opposed to the religion they claim to represent.

Look at the ISIS stereotype, lonely male virgin, derided by women in the western society he left, claims religious celibacy but really not by choice. Yet under vows of strength through abstinence marries and impregnates a child bride, then abusively dominates a family like an overlord until he grows tired of his wife and claims she committed adultery! This man is really a thief, a thief of womens rights, a thief of peoples freedoms and thief of happiness! Let his Sharia Law deal with his thefts in that very place he migrates to, only two of his peers need testify an oath on the Koran for him to be found guilty, we have no room for two laws here as we have a law and it is not Sharia Law.

Regardless, personally I think ISIS is as religiously invalid to Islam as were the Spaniards who took part in the Inquisition to Catholicism, the true motives of both groups lay elsewhere, they both want for wealth and power! ;)

These radical groups continue exist because they prey on forgiveness and tolerance. Like the Spaniards in the Inquisition who relied on the forgiveness of Rome, ISIS relies on the forgiveness of the west. Had they cut the heads off some Chinese officials I suspect the ISIS war would already be done and lost. But ISIS leaders are not so brave as to deliberately make themselves martyrs, that claim is made retrospectively after an unplanned death, and furthermore they are not stupid enough to poke the Chinese bear!
