it is simply not possible to convey complex ideas and concepts in a wholly unambiguous way. The problem of misinterpretation exists with every book of note ever written.
Aren't we publishing the very same conclusion.
Authors know that fact, so why would a Prideaux publish such an article that effectively distils down to that critique, that the error is in the reader?
It's interesting that the media(newspapers / websites) often use the community service card to justify reporting sensitive issues, and sometimes the public good card to defend occasionally crossing the line whatever that line might be!
Yet in these critical times, they post click bait Coronavirus headlines and place the content behind a paywall, just saying!
Please think of this the next time they ask for your respect!
With that behaviour the only thing they are globally good for is the home delivery of depression era poo tickets!
I wonder if anyone else felt uncomfortable listening to McAveney's continual side-swipe berating of Weitering, he talks about Weiters like he's doing a Jason Tutt when he should be doing a Buddy Franklin!
Off to the gerontologist Bruce, the fat lady is singing!
I'm sympathetic to those exposed to the taunts of cruel members of the general public, and how they can clearly hurt some individuals. But I'm also very skeptical about some people who seemingly turn repeated failures in a lucrative career like a Greek Tragedy!
Is it just me that worries about individuals blaming the Universe for all their problems, and being heartily supported both socially and financially for their sufferance?
It seems we can see the difference between some events, even if we are prepared to make some excuses, collectively we just sort of let the reality filter slide and bunch them all together.
I've got to make this observation about T20 cricket.
I'm not a huge fan but I do appreciate some of the skills, yet I can see that the plasticity in the rules means it's not very useful for measuring cricket talent.
One thing I've noted, the effectiveness of a bowler seems geared to their level of exposure to the batsmen. The more a batsmen becomes familiar with a bowler the greater the toll the batsmen takes on any overs bowled. What this means is that often the newbie bowler, in yesterday's case Ellis bowling for Sydney Thunder, often has the best economy rate.
It's not primarily the bowler's skill that has them perform well, but also the batsmen's ignorance.
I'm not a huge fan of tennis, I appreciate the athletic nature of long matches. I'm not sure why as an individual sport it pays or attracts so much big money given on a global basis it's pretty much elitist, a bit like golf!
I had to turn on today to watch what radio was describing as a stirring comeback by Williams versus Wang, it was described as an epic match!
However, for the short time I watched, all I saw was 15 minutes of screaming and verbal abuse blatantly emitted in the direction of at and intended to intimidate an opponent! Supreme a strength and athleticism without a shred of good citizenship or healthy sportsperson like behavior. Just a screaming ball of abuse and derogation from a self-entitled lunatic, praised by the commentary!
I mean, screaming in someone's direction until they are distracted isn't being the best tennis player, it's just being the best bully or the loudest mouth!
I'm over it, I'll hope and barrack for Barty to endure, but I won't turn that tournament back on no matter who is playing.
Hi, I doubt this problem is just myself as I use multiple platforms to interact with the site.
But someone else might have noticed that during edits, either via Quick Edit or Modify, the editor inserts blank lines in the top of a reply in the space below a quote. Maybe it's because of the way I use the site to save drafts, but after two or three three edits you can have a large whitespace at the top of your reply.
This Scomo bloke has lost the plot, he's a deer in the headlights completely incapable of making a decision or actually doing something.
He can't even deal with the very simple little issues like remuneration for volunteers let alone the much much harder big decisions around climate, sustainability and the environment.
God won't save him, in just the same way God won't save many of the bush fire victims.
Scomo has to go, in my opinion his position is now untenable. If the Libs are as pissweak as they seem he might make it to the next election, but the merest reminder of his current fright frozen state makes him repugnant to voters!
I don't know what to make of the pending Russia ban.
To me it doesn't make a lot of sense as it hurts even the clean athletes.
The assertion that they are all dirty is plainly wrong, and in my opinion this ban eventuates simply because authorities have been too lenient on individual sports-people, and also far too lenient on systematic drug cheats like CheatsFC.
If they get serious with bans and challenges when athletes are caught, and kibosh some of the dinky penalties and reversals we see occurring when a high profile gets whacked, like the Chinese swimmer and some of the tennis players. Then things will clean themselves up naturally, it's the appearance of disparity that makes situations like this Russia farce occur.
People are getting life bans off the whiff of a hint of a fume, mostly because they aren't lawyered up, while others with financial resources are being cleared after growing an extra head or leg!
As an aside, I think one thing the IOC could do is provide a stipend for athletes wishing to compete under the no-country flag. Let them prove themselves clean and then offer compensation similar to the Russian winners bonus, so that they at least have some hope of financial recompense for efforts.
In any case, I've become a bit bored with the whole this country versus that country rubbish, all that does is lead to a Trump or Putin. The Olympics should be about the best of the best head to head, not about this politicised country versus that country rubbish!
Interesting now that we've seen the trade period and the various comings and goings over the trade period, the draft being of very little short term relevance in such matters, what will our 2020 game plan be?
I suspect we'll see a lot of dynamic use of the bigger bodies, McKay, McGovern, Levi, Jones and Weitering being in effect a mobile hub. I thought there were some early signs of this last season, with Teague pushing guys like Levi and McKay to get to as many contests as possible. I realise we had a few injuries to cover at the time, but that should only make it better for us in 2020 not worse. I suspect we'll run with what already worked!
We might find less dependence on Cripps and Charlie to provide a primary marking option and more emphasis on their mobility and strength to get to and be an influence at stoppages with also being the 3rd man up in marking contests when opportunity arises.
I'm not sure how to make best use of SoJ, Kennedy and Setterfield, it really depends on our smart ball use!
I'll be very disappointed in 2020 if we find opposition teams taking a lot of uncontested or defensive marks against us, it just should not happen! Further, guys like Fisher, Walsh, Newnes, Gibbons, even Ed and sMurph, should be first at the fall of the ball 100% of the time!
Pretty much our entire list of talls now has mobility as a positive relative to Mr AFL Tall Joe Average, it must mean something!
