The biggest player in the NBA is chinese;
France accuses the US of arrogance;
Switzerland holds the Americas Cup;
Australia's Prime minister is a right wing millionaire and leads the Labor party;
The leader of the federal Liberal party is a former union president;
Councils try to stop kids playing in parks;
People actually think Carlton is a chance to make the finals _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I wouldn't particularly call the AMA a left wing radical Union. _________________ All this may be summed up in one word - CHARACTER - and if that is not worth developing, nothing is.

Shoosh Phantom. Next I suppose you'll point out Rudd isn't a millionarie, his wife is and Eminem isn't the best rapper anymore. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Carlton WILL make the finals.
Money, high draft picks, returning injured players and a 1 in 2 chance of finishing top 8.
I'm not happy about it, but it looks very possible. |

Why is the world crazy when an Afro-American is the worlds best golfer?
Is it a rule the worlds best golfer has to be a White Anglo or something?
In the same vein, is rap only open to Afro-Americans. Bit like saying Clapton knows nothing about the blues because he's white.

They're talking stereotypes Frankie
Golf is stereotypically played by white guys in funny pants
Rap is a stereotypically black phenomenon and many white guys just can't do it right (like Kevin Federline...)
Chinese are typically short... not good basketballing material etc |

Yeah well,
There's some conjecture whether it was Chris Rock or Charles Barkley,(both african americans BTW) who originally coined that quote.

What are you suggesting about them? _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Wasn't that long ago that Afro-Americans could not even get onto a golf course. |
