  1. This article discusses both sides. http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-12/serena-williams-herald-sun-republishes-mark-knight-cartoon/10235886?pfmredir=sm #Troy I haven't seen the match. The paper deactivated his Twitter account. The paper defended him reprinted the cartoon on their front page. They will sell a lot of papers and he is famous or infamous depending on your politics.
  2. Due to the Blacklash he has decided not to do any more cartoons about race. Just stated his wife and children are being incinerated on social media. He drew Naomi lighter than the umpire. Also the umpires in the cartoon ask Naomi can you just let her win. The other issue is that Serena was about to tie Australian Margaret Court record for wins, which may be a factor.
  3. Don't gorillas make the same movement.
  4. When i checked yesterday there were about 2300 reactions on Mark Knight's Facebook page 2/3 were supportive. Two friends thought it was a fair cartoon.

  6. Thank you for posting Harry. I am following this case.
  7. I feel the best leaders dont want to be leaders. Snd the people that wantbto lead aren't good leaders. Martin Luther King and Donald John Trump.
  8. Pioneer I have yet to see ego less groups. I can't see a Pioneer following.
  9. Pioneer we run different circles abd hence have a different perspective.
  10. Yes but who leads, or rather whose vision is followed.
  11. Pioneer you have succeeded in convincing the forum that your thought process is unreasonable.
  12. If you put Black Gay and Lesbian rough necks in charge it may work. They have a double dose of discrimination actually the women have a triple dose.
  13. The 25th Amendment was briefly the most searched term. We shall see.
  14. Troy it sounds like you are grumpy.
  15. At this rate do you think Trump finishes the year?
  16. Troy when did you get so grumpy
  17. You are often moved by words. Booker
  18. It means ouch that looked like it hurt when Cynique opened uo that can of whoop ass.
  19. Right there but you don't see it. The world keeps spinning The US is a nominal republic and practical oligarchy. That doesn't mean all republics are oligarchies. If you had said the US functions like an oligarchy even though it's a republic. You would have made a subtle distinction.
  20. The issue is who is in control. Not who appears to be in control. The US has always been a Plutocracy. In name it is a republic. Currently it us becoming a Kleptocracy like Russia.
  21. Pioneer your beliefs have serve your life. Whether they are correct the norm r idiosyncratic doesn't matter. We see the world differently. Your approach is experiential mine is theoretical. Each has its place.
