please, how hard is it to understand.... the man ripped us off when he has billions. All this crap about market share and what not is rubbish. He has the market.
Melvey Melvey Melvey. You just wont back down and understand the subtleness of the advice you are getting, the pity you bring onto yourself...I mean that in the context of your stubborn attitude towards the club you love and it's hero.
Relax..thank people for their concern. Try and understand their position.
Consider toning your position down. You've backed yourself into a hysterical corner with Fatprick and Dwayyyyyne. Don't do it. Step over to the other side...it feels soooo much better.
I do understand your feelings. I too had socialistic egalitarian beliefs 30 years ago too. I also felt like I was one of the have nots. Then I realised we're all winners. I also realised the system delivers many values I admire too; for example 'freedom of speech", and opportunity.
I agree with Molly's position regarding your rights, but not when you get a bit of rope and you hang yourself...that then becomes 'freedom for stupidity".
Nobody robbed anyone. There's no stealing going on, otherwise there would have been different charges.
You haven't lost anything; not even $35 over 4 years. They are made up numbers. There is no proof that the collusion would have increased prices or decreased prices in any product.
It's the size of the penalty which has pricked up ears, and the size of the fine refelcted the size of the Company, and furthermore, to send a message out to the Corporate World to not dob each other in or else everyone is going down. Life goes on.
Take a deep breath and admit you have been a bit extreme with your views and comments, despite the fact there's something you're uncomfortable with in this whole episode. You haven't expressed your opinion well, and have allowed emotion to articulate an emotional response with untru vulgarities.
This is Fatprick's objective; to crack Carlton supporters and turn them against each other, hopefully leading to destabilising our club, forcing Pratt to resign and him telling the world that he did it; he led the charge! So in his mind, that'll put him on the map. In general he's there to give everyone the shits. Ignore him; he's your poison.
