Cuz in the shit AGAIN.
I never use to look at it in BLACK and WHITE Terms.But there's got to be some Benchmark to Toe the line to and even then it's doesn't go far enough.
Footballers should be NO DIFFERENT to the Rest of Society.Problem with that is,they attract HEADLINES like a Light attracts Moths.
Most of it through no one esle's FAULT but their own,Some of it is OVERBLOWN Sensationalism which despite possible recent perception of my analysis,I have a thing about.

But that's just it, Grassy. In the rest of society if you are able to function at that high a level, even if you do take drugs, it's not on the front page, is it?
You either get worse until you get found out, and depending on your employer, they give you the chance to clean up or they give you the arse. Unless you're a doctor or something, you don't get black-listed from your profession, do you?
These guys are treated differently, and consequently the rules have to be different.

My statement led you to believe that? Now your joking right?
Even if I was for the drugs being legal how does that still equal to "very" pro booze/smokes. It may simply mean I believe in freedom of choice to a certain extent.

Yes, I ment illegal. It is a f****** typo. Now, if you are freedome choice, then you should have no problem if I suggest every other drug from weed to ice be made legal.

Listen, I'm jsut trying to highlight the bullshit contradiction by many governments, including ours.
Think about it. How many times have we heard, 'drugs are bad', 'stay away from drugs'? However, they make money from the sale of cigarette's. How f***** is that? They allow us to go out every weekend and get pissed.
If you choose, to use that shit fine. However I get pissed off that the same government which, preaches to stay away from drugs and condems those that use drugs. However they make money from the sale of booze and ciggies.

So far your points have been attempting shots at me which so far none have worked.Essendon4eva wrote:I''m not conceding anything. I'm jsut not willing to let arguments, become the focal point anymore. Espicially when I actually make a great point, which the usual Australian will do nothing about, regardless of if they recognise it or not.
