Stokes Arrested

[Gnske]

I think his point was pretty obvious, everyone has a criminal ancestor if you go back far enough.

Credit for referring to Ben Stokes as a proto-human though.

This is absolutely wrong and based on flawed """"math"""" and many (wrong) assumptions.

Like people are inherently criminal in both genes and disposition, which is really what I'm against in this thread. What an utterly preposterous thing to insinuate. The idea that Australians have criminal genes and a proclivity towards breaking the law. It's 2017, generalizing people by the worst and often incorrectly-perceived stereotype is just a stone-age mentality. Imagine for a moment if you judged all British people off Furball's demeanour? Would that be fair? No, who would find that a fair flip of the coin? I would not want to be judged by how another man carries himself through this life. Would you say all Greek men have a proclivity for soliciting boy lovers? I would hope not. But judging by what you've said, you would deem these extreme examples to be fair representations, it's not right.

I can't believe I have to say it again, but I've read the history and as far as I know I'm the only one in my genetic lineage who has ever been arrested. I imagine this is similar for many other Australians, thus your point is almost equally wrong as it is offensive.

I don't think most people who jokingly refer to Australian's as criminals are seriously suggesting that they have "criminal genes" in any practical sense.

It's just banter m8

One of the dumbest threads in recent memory, this. You know things are bad when there's a thread in CC in which I have contributed a great deal but yet my posts are far from the worst in it.

Not sure what its worse though, Beev's ATG Internet hard man direness, or the way the thread has careened into nonsense posts about Australian ancestry.

Yeah right it's just banter until that person you made assumptions about plucks the courage to learn how to tie a rope swing from their tree in the backyard.

You just need to be a bit more sensitive TJB. I think you're hard man here most of the time but you can also be a softie if you only let yourself be a bit more empathetic.

WTF is going on in here?? This is one ****ing odd exchange.

Edit:

Are you suggesting if I call an Aussie cricket fan a convict, I should be concerned in case he goes and tops himself over the shame?? Does this work the same way when I get called a soapdodger?? Do you fear for my mental wellbeing as well?

 

[Furball]

Australia was a penal colony hue hue

Whereas now it's full of dicks.

 

[sledger]

Whereas now it's full of dicks.

I think you are confusing Australia with Chennai.

Another good effort at a post but the quality continues to be absent.

Nah it's clear to me that he's joking, and Adders has the sense of humour of a scarecrow so he doesn't really count

Australians do have convicts in their ancestry, they come from England.

Be quiet. The adults are talking.

Be quiet. The adults are talking.

Then why are you talking?.

 

[sledger]

To tell you to be quiet ffs

To tell you to be quiet ffs

Maybe you should be quite and just let the adults talk.

look i'm just going to say what we're all thinking - everyone saying that stokes should be banned is coming from the perspective of a culture where leftist ****s and special snowflakes can't handle a real man imposing himself on a ****in manlet

all of you lefty keyboard social justice warriors need to stop being such politically correct sissy men and take a lesson from an alpha like stokes who stands up to the establishment

 

[Adders]

what a way to reinforce sledgers point.

Edit: @ TNT

All this hate for Stokes and nothing about Hales and his cowardly attack, I would imagine he would be looking at time in prison if the law is applied properly.

Which law is that? Do enlighten us.

The one where a person runs up and kicks someone lying on the ground in the head several times. Most countries that is against the law but seeing how you don't seem to recognise it then leave this to the adults.
