The two most abundant elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
I agree, seems that retrospectively stripping people of honours & awards they've received in the past for doing something wrong or stupid later is becoming a thing - VLandys mentioned stripping Hayne of his Dally M awards once his appeal has passed (if it doesn't work).To me those protestors were absolute dickheads BUT in a democratic society we are allowed to be dickheads if we wish.
I don’t know about a “ stripping of honours” though and that’s even acknowledging they are ****ing nutters !!!

Classic picture & caption from one of the online news sites yesterday:Mundine is just a serial pest.
I haven't been following the news about the protests but in one photo I saw it looked like a bunch of the Proud Boys. Obviously conspiracy theories and discrediting legitimate science as fake news are now things, thanks largely to a certain megalomaniac who shall remain nameless.I say good on souffs if they do and a few more employers should be taking a hard stance with any employees identified. With businesses going under due to lockdown and idiots like this making it a whole lot worse
I didn’t say they weren’t idiots , but I’m just not sure it’s something that they should lose a previous honour over !!Yes but not when you put other people at risk?
I understand this perspective, but where do you draw the line? Greg Inglis and Sam Burgess have both been done for DUI but are still considered “ornaments of the game”. They definitely put lives at risk too.Yes but not when you put other people at risk?
That’s the thing. All protestors are being lumped into the same loonie basket but some have legitimate gripes.I haven't been following the news about the protests but in one photo I saw it looked like a bunch of the Proud Boys.

As to protesting during a pandemic, surely depends in part on what they are protesting? Quite legitimate to be demanding more job support pay, for example, given how many people are unable to work pretty much as a direct result of how slack the Fed govt has been in sourcing adequate vaccines.
I would treat them the same way.I understand this perspective, but where do you draw the line? Greg Inglis and Sam Burgess have both been done for DUI but are still considered “ornaments of the game”. They definitely put lives at risk too.
And the reason they’re all being lumped into the same loonie basket is because they were there with loonies.That’s the thing. All protestors are being lumped into the same loonie basket but some have legitimate gripes.
I’m not going say they shouldn’t be out there when I have the luxury of being on full pay working from home for as long as I want. I understand that many do not have that option and are doing it tough.
True, but you could also argue we get less and less democratic each day with this as the government passes emergency powers they will never roll back. The civil liberties argument is whole other mess. Look at this rubbish:And the reason they’re all being lumped into the same loonie basket is because they were there with loonies.
I get the legitimate gripes that @SeaEagleRock8 mentioned, it’s affected me and my business but choose who you hang around with, we learn that at a young age.
If you know there’s a rent a crowd coming just to agitate, then you should be smart enough to change your tack and think your message is going to get lost.
If you don’t then you’re not smart enough and deserve what you get.
It should be pretty easy to decide if you want to live in an anarchistic society or a democratic one.
