Gable Tostee

Nothing wrong with your syntax - the issue is entirely over the word "hero".

Willie Apiata, much as I have no time for grunts, is a hero.

Eric Thomas, aka Gable Tostee is a piece of human excrement, as his prior record shows.

I'm cool with a not guilty verdict - the jury had no choice - but the guy is lower than that slime that grows on the walls of really old cow troughs that don't have running water any more.
If I had enclosed the word in quotes would that have worked?
I doubt that lionking would have leaped for that bait, but I think we have all been trapped by making poker faced comments meant as sarcastic and been taken literally.

I do not think Gable Tostee is a hero, ok.

Sorry mate.

I got confused as well.

All good
 
Ok, I'll accept that, but given your support for him and Pistorius, it wasn't all that surprising to be taken as literal, was it?
Yes I am really surprised.
I consider myself internally consistent, I am only interested in cases where the system has it totally wrong, and so far I have no regrets.
Tostee and Pistorius are tragic figures, their dead paramours footnotes to history, that's how the tapestry is woven.
 
It's not always as it seems Shiner.
She is Not Guilty.
Though RW has just returned to the thread, you might agree with him.

Are you completely incapable of staying on topic? One case at time focus is difficult? You do this in every thread and I have actually stopped reading some of them because of it.

I have caused you to abandon your education because I post on a few threads? I really do not understand this.
There is endemic failure in the international way of solving crime.
You would never board an airplane if you thought the engineering audit trail was so lax. I guarantee it.
 
Congratulations. You win the Trolling Post of the Year Award.

"Hero". When describing a narcissist, murdering jerk. You have set the bar high. Akin to describing Hitler as a misunderstood dog lover.

Well done. Good show.
I explained clearly I was being sarcastic. I didn't expect to have to, and I am amazed it could wind up so quickly.
Who would believe anyone thinks he's a hero. I bet he doesn't himself.
But I think there is a lot of that sort of behaviour going on that of course doesn't end in tragedy so is never heard about.
I think the case is hardly worth discussing further unless more court action follows. There are truly innocent people stuck in jails everywhere that need attention and help.
 
Geezer is a knobend.

Always will be.

Hopefully gets a bit of ridicule till the end of his days.

But that's about it
 
Well. He did save himself from that big, mean girl, after all.
With all due respect while I agree that he probably had the advantage the chick was nutso with objects.

I get a bit sick of people saying women are harmless
 
Hey Atheist.

Just a heads up.

Offered your couch to US people who leave if Trump wins
 
Yeah, that's fine mate.

All the people I've seen who have said they're leaving are people I quite like.

Is Taylor Swift one of them? She's welcome anytime and won't need the couch.

Meanwhile, I see Eric Thomas is being paid six numbers to do a 60 Minute interview.

Outstanding.

At least he'll be able to buy more pies.
 
Like it or not the dude wasn't guilty

He is a complete wanker, but can do what he wants

Certainly - I'm not blaming him for taking the money.

The media company should perhaps look at donating the same amount as his fee to a suitable charity.

After all, the chick dying was the story - why should he get all the money?
