Who cares? Many of us have stopped caring for our game since Finch, Harrigam, Hamstead et al took over management of each game and spoiled Rugby League for many thousands of devoted League supporters. Now they want to replace Finch with people who are no better.

We'll apologise when they [Manly]apologise for their errors. Well said, Robert Finch. Your statement clearly shows us how inept, how pathetic, how puerile your mind is. What a nonsensical statement for the Referees Boss to make. It's like two little kids in the playground ... one of them Finch ... and they have run out of logic.

You are right, furthermore it is in violation of the constitution which guarantees freedom of religion, but hypocrisy is daily fare in this country, especially among those who would claim to be patriots, defending the constitution with their last drop o9f blood, or so they claim. Freedom, democracy, bullshit.

Reporting from Beirut — The heated debate across America over construction of the so-called ground zero mosque is reverberating across the globe, with the potential of creating a worldwide black eye for the United States.

This is from your paper the LA Times ... and it is true. The backlash against America, not just against those protesting against the mosque, is growing dangerously and it disfigures the war effort in Afghanistan and other places..it makes our white skin repulsive to many more and more around the world.

For fuck's sake, Obama's right on this...and Americans shud support him

Australian Democracy in a Shambolic State

This is where our so-called democracy is a shambles. Australians pitted against Australians in a never-ending struggle for political ascendancy. Yet the policies of the major opposing parties vary little from each other. It is all about power and Australia is lessened by this contretemps.

Heroic Chinese During Floods

We watched in awe in Australia the coverage on CCTV4 [We receive daily CCTV4 on our SBS channel] as heroic men and women worked to save one another in the unbelievably dangerous flood waters. The TV work was superb and it shows the dedication of Chinese people toward one another. We were reduced to tears. The train wreck ... what unendurably difficult conditions, but the Chinese people were undeterred. We Australians have the highest admiration ... jing pei.

SMOKING IS POISON

Wo shi Laoshi. I am Australian and I encourage students not to smoke. I plead with university authorities to put a stop to smoking on campus, in the hallways between classes, in the dorms. But no! Most bosses [leaders] are smokers. The onkly way to reduce smoking is by law. It takes courage to implement laws that impact upon personal freedoms. But smoking is not purely personal; ewe all smoke when someone near to us smokes. This is analogous to assault; it is criminal to blow poison into another's air space, and this is exactly what smoking is. Poison!

Rugby League: Run by Idiots and Buffoons

Firstly, we need intelligent people for the roles of referees. So far, the blokes in the middle with the spittle have showed that they are idiots and/or corrupt. I know of few men who consistently display ineptitude of the magnitude of today's RL refs. We viewers of our game sit back and weekly watch refs spoil the game of Rugby League [they are no better in Rugby, mind you]. We bitch, we shout, we write and complain and yet the buffoons at League HQ still think that what they decide is brilliant. How delusional of them.
