Posting on TC is a hobby. If you want to stretch the boundaries of reality then I suppose you could argue that because the incident happened and it's being discussed on TC that it has meaning in my life, but that would be something a leftist hippy greeny would come up with, not a logical clear thinking conservative.

A hobby Verbs? You've posted 15,000 times and all of impeccably similar standard. I am embarrassed about the number of times I post, and usually when I post I have something vaguely intelligent to say. 15,000 posts verbs, and I thought Fev needed help. There has to be a compulsive posters anonymous somewhere surely.

Really?...Thought it was at least as bad as reported.

Wouldn't emapthy be feeling sorry for Fevola? Can't say I even feel that to be honest. It's an incident which has no real meaning in my life, and I'm amazed it has so much meaning in other people's lives. If I was mates with Fevola I probably would feel empathy, a little bit. Not a great amount though.

..partly.. ..you could also feel some empathy for the people that had to put up with his sordid behaviour.. ..some of which has been not been made readily available to the public at large, which makes you wonder exactly what Fev really got up to..

But that's my point. Just because some of it was reported in the paper why should I? What about the thousands of other people confronted by other drunk people every weekend that's not spoon fed to me by the Herald Sun?

Yeah man.



Kids - don't do drugs!

So all the people that found that funny last night are dimwits and a blight on society. Ouch....that was a very uneducated call.



Monday night wasn't about Fev the footballer.
Monday night was about Brendan Fevola, a man like many people who has a very serious drinking problem.

The AFL invites somebody who they had to kick out of Ireland because of his drinking and then invite him to a function where the alcohol would be flowing freely.
You could see during the count that he was carrying on too far, thumbs down and silly comments.

This is where the support for Brendan failed - His wife just left him, people from the club around him, Crown just kept on serving him more fuel and channel 9 give him a microphone and follow him around everywhere waiting for something funny to happen, but when things got out of hand somebody decided to pull the plug. Any person could have seen it was not going to end well. Somebody from the club, maybe Gregg Swan should of had Brendan removed before it got out of hand. We all know from his past history that alcohol and Brendan don't mix, something always bad happens.

The Juddy finger in the ear pressure point Steven Seagal was funny but Brendan just didn't know when to stop , no one is condoning all the other things Brendan did Monday night.

Brendon, if you ever read this, join AA and never touch the stuff again.

..you don't need the media to feel empathy though.. ..if some drunk knuckle-head is making a nuisance of themself [and worse], wouldn't you feel even a little bit sorry for the ppl they're effecting..?.. ....not really caring about anyone else but yourself, and what directly impacts on you and yours is what i'm getting at.. ..like i said earlier, a bit of empathy goes a long way..

Without the media I wouldn't know about it, thus I do need the media if I am to feel empathy for those poor little people who got upset. If a female friend of mine was groped by Fevola, and she was upset by that, I'd be pissed off with Fevola. If he slapped me in the face or drunkenly abused me I'd be a little annoyed too. But what he gets up to in his private life, and every other Carlton player for that matter, certainly isn't going to keep me awake at night fretting.

Gotcha verbs.

So because Pol Pot didn't torture you or your family....no problem. You don't know about it, therefore you don't care .

What planet are you on? You can spend time and energy hating Fevola all you want, and if you want to compare him to Pol Pot go right ahead. Good for you.

.. ..actually, i think it's more in relation to our posts regarding empathy, and the having vs not having of it.. ..he's not actually comparing fevalenko to pol-potalenko.. ..more-so the idea that you only care about what happens to you, and those closest to you..

Rubbish. Using that extreme was foolish and idiotic and proved nothing what-so-ever.

I'll change my tune if Fevola is arrested for a crime. Until then I'll keep turning my nose up at the gossip mongers and high horse jockeys.

COME on Kahuna..........

everybody chairs maaaan..............puff puff give............!
