    Generally, it is a question of degree of bias. Until we see our prejudices, of course, we can't change them. And most people are afraid of seeing something within that doesn't fit their ideal.

    The site wouldn't be quite the same if you didn't stalk my postings Woodsie. Whether that would be a good or bad thing is entirely subjective. I can always rely on you to seek out an argument. Points 1 and 5 - The distinction you draw is totally, 100%, in your overactive imagination. What's...

    Are you on drugs Woodsie? 1) You argue that "Freedom of speech has nothing to do with tolerance" and in the very next sentence - yes - the very next sentence - you say that freedom of speech means it is tolerated legally. lol. 2) You then talk about my "assersion". You brag that you are a...

    You are right that the use of prejudice was no accident. I used it because prejudice is what I meant. Prejudice: Prejudgement. Bias. A preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. And you are an educated man Hamster Huey. You know that your (mis)interpretation of an...

    Mundine.....again.

    Subjective arousal, situational, conflicts between ideal/actual, difficulty in maintaining demeanour. All agreed. Neither easy nor simple. And: In court, a vigorous defence is seen quite differently to an emotively dominated defence. Neither cutting off emotion nor being dominated by it works...

    No. Once again you are 100% intergalactically wrong on all counts. Do you find emotions get in the way of comprehension often?

    Is it time for Rugby League to change its name?

    League is functional for now. But maybe something more contemporary and evocative of power, like thunder. Thorball

    Jarryd Hayne to Golf???

    I'm really enjoying the Hayne story. To have outrageous talent is one thing. To go where the heart takes you is another. Just because everyone else demands you conform doesn't mean you're forced to.

    Did you even read what I said? Or too caught up in the emotion? I said "there may be actions to take". Legal action may an action if the situation calls for it. And if so, as stated, the secure person would take that action sanely and coolly.

    If someone called a secure person a paedophile, and they weren't one, they'd know it was untrue. There may be actions to take. But they'd act sanely and coolly. If someone called an insecure person a paedophile, and they weren't one, they'd be an emotional mess. And act insanely and...

    Not a strong word at all HH. We all have prejudices, every single one of us. That is how we are built. That is how emotions work. Studies have shown that not just conservatives (rights), but also liberals (lefts) were implicitly prejudiced - and acted in discriminatory ways - against people...

    Outrage means domination by emotion. When we are dominated by emotion our higher order thinking shuts down. The higher the emotional reaction, the greater the shut-down. Emotion is valuable, even essential, in its place. And emotions out of place are notoriously destructive and...

    Then you are an emotional puppet to anyone who wants to control you. Secure people know who they are, and don't worry much what others think.

    Mundine.....again.

    Freedom of speech is about tolerance, not agreement. You get that distinction, don't you? It is entirely possible to disagree with what Mundine said without being personally offended, reactive, attacking. And if that is how you reacted, then what he said could be intelligently analysed...

    Mundine.....again.

    If you were called a German, and you know you are an Aussie, would you react? Why would anyone secure in themselves react? If you react it is because you are not secure in yourself. Yes?

    Mundine.....again.

    As Murdoch knows all too well, it is so, so easy to control the emotional reactions, and behaviour, of right-wing rednecks. Why? Because they are scared sh*tless. If they weren't scared sh*tless, Mundine's thoughts would be simply ignored. Keep lining up and outing yourselves boys.

    You guys haven't worked it out yet? You are being played for puppets. The papers want to increase circulation. What do they do? They publish something that tugs at your deep seated prejudices. They get the same bites from the exact same people - every - single - time. And bingo - you're hooked.

    And yet you do!

    Mundine.....again.

    Lol. Simply disagreeing then? OK, so you have no problem at all with him expressing his different opinions then? Don't feel any need to emotionally react?

    Mundine.....again.

    So what if some people want to express an opinion different to yours by not standing up when the national anthem is played? It is called freedom of speech.
