My father used to tell me that it's far better to lose an argument to a wise person than try and win one with an idiot.
But, I'll give it one more shot in the knowledge that I am dealing with a logically flawed individual.
Firstly, asking the under 18 players if they found Goodes actions offensive is, as i said in my previous post, like asking Gays if they want Gay marriage. I'll add to that, since you probably couldn't comprehend that analogy, and relay one which even you might understand. It's like asking Joffa if he loves Collingwood, or Carlton supporters if they hate Collingwood. What do you really think the answer would be??
Secondly, if you had actually comprehended what you were reading in my post, and I'm assuming, possibly incorrectly, that you read all of it, you would have seen that nowhere in that post did I even insinuate that the young Indigenous team would have been offended by Goodes' actions.
The point that I was making that I would hope would have even been clear to you, was that they performed the dance before the game and NOT during the game itself like Goodes did.
Only an illogical warped mind, could possibly have garnered from that accurate statement, that somehow I was insinuating that the under 18's would have been offended at Goodes actions. In fact, I reckon they would have loved it, and been proud in the knowledge that one of their heroes had emulated their dance.
My point, once again, is all about time and place.
If you can't accept that and believe that the time and place, in front of the Carlton supporters who, and I repeat it again in the forlorn hope that even you might understand what I am saying, had up to that point in time treated him with respect, that Goodes performed his war dance is O.K. because it's indigenous round, then that's how you should have left it, and even though I disagree with you, we could agree to disagree.
However, in no post of yours that replies to mine, or those that have disagreed with your point of view, have you even attempted to address the issues that I and others have raise in a reasoned manner. That's because you are trying to turn this debate into one of political correctness, and possible racism on the part of those who disagree with your point of view.
