You know there is just no pleasing some people. As an Aussie who admires his talent, I was dumbfounded and disappointed with how quickly people turned on him because he was having a few problems, many from his own nation. I see he is a hero again now. Gee why doesn't that surprise me...I hope he gets the record..and I hope he knows not everyone turned their backs on him.

This is only the point of view of SOME Christians.  I believe a truly good man who lives a life of honour and integrity; who does not harm anyone in body or mind; who respects everybody in the same way that he would like to be respected, and who tries to be the very best that he can be, is much more likely to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than a bigoted Christian.

I believe the "tough guy code" is that nobody snitches on people to the police. Snitching on another person to another tough guy is - I believe - completely acceptable.

I'm Australian born and bred and Spanner needs to live here before he makes such sweeping generalisations. Apart from the "redneck" variety, you won't find that many racists or homophobes. I can't believe he admits to getting his views on our political system from Wikipedia. If that's your source, mate, that explains a lot. Wikipedia is not an authority on anything - it's created by the contributions of anyone who can access it - hardly a reliable source. Anyone can make up anything and put it on there. Sounds to me like he might be a tad racist himself. Oh, and Spanner? "Wog" is also a slang term for "cold" or "flu", e.g. "I've got a nasty wog."\n\nAs for Australia being a land of Aborigines and English criminals, people need to understand just what that means. Believe it or not, the Aborigines are PEOPLE. It surprises me how many people seem to speak of them as though they are totally different. They do have their own culture, but they're not that different from everyone else. The so-called "convicts" that were transported here, were sent here often for nothing more than stealing a loaf of bread to feed their starving children. Most of them hadn't done anything serious, but were trying to survive.\n\nAustralian culture is rather diverse due to the many influences we have here. If you are referring to a Paul Hogan- or Steve Irwin-type of Aussie, then the culture revolves around barbecues, meat pies, beer, and football - and by that, I mean Aussie Rules footy, where men don't wear armour, but tight, tight shorts and they actually *kick* the ball. ;) The Aussie attitude is one of, "Give a poor bastard a go" (and that isn't considered swearing by most). When the faeces hit the fan, you can usually count on the community to band together and lend a hand. Charity organisations here are actually that: unlike in some places, you're not required to convert or be a member of their religion in order to get help. Recently, there was a cyclone up north and the amount of aid sent by fellow Aussies was so phenomenal that they had to ask people to STOP sending things.\n\nI've lost count of the number of times people have asked me if I have a pet kangaroo. I've often answered, "Yes. Her name's Matilda and she stays in the backyard with the dog. When I only need to go down the road to the shops, I hop in her pouch instead of taking the car. Saves on fuel." Believe it or not, more than one person has bought this. While kangaroos don't generally live in suburban areas, in times of drought and the like when food is scarce, they actually DO visit populated areas. When I worked at Police Communications, I received a few calls over the years for kangaroos hopping down the streets of Melbourne. It's rare, but it does happen.\n\nI live in an outer suburb where we have kangaroos nearby, koalas, wombats and kookaburras (a type of kingfisher). We have some of the most beautiful and unusual critters in this country. Do be wary of the platypus, though. They are poisonous. We also have something like nine of the ten most venomous snakes here, and many nasty spiders. The female funnelweb can bite through Blunnies (Blundstone leather boots). As for crocodiles, they don't generally travel the sewers, but people do get attacked by them. This usually happens when they go swimming in strange billabongs (waterholes) - many of which have signage indicating not to swim there. Duh...\n\nOther than that, much of our culture is influenced by the USA. We have much of their music, movies, television shows, and so on. Other influences are from the groups that have joined us since the initial English and Irish settlers, especially Asians, Greeks and Italians. We really are a huge melting pot. :)

After the last Ashes series I have a hell of a lot of respect for Brett Lee. His ability to accept he was on the losing side but to never give up trying and give his all for his side with bat and ball earned my respect. The sight of Flintoff consoling him after that epic test at Edgbaston showed not only how much he had given but how much spirit he had to be able to talk to anyone, most sportsmen would simply trudge away and hide in the dressing room.\n\nI'm sure I'm supposed to say Shane Bond, given your picture and I've no doubt he's talented. He likes taking Aussie wickets, so who can't like him but to get the exposure and respect Lee does, he'll need to stay fit and get results. This isn't something he's managed for a while.\n\nAs for who's quicker? Lee, I think, by a shade, Lee certainly has the hostility and it's always nice to see a real fast bowler tear in, so let's hope we get to see Bond bowl more in the near future.

No, Morality is personal.  Rules are for everyone.\n\nRules can be set to try and set some kind of moral backing, but it is up to the person whether or not they want to follow the rules.

Any modern Australian sportsperson-Be they cricketers, footballers, hockey players, they have no concept of fair play and  sportsmanship, they only understand bullying and do bully opponents. When they lose, they are the biggest cry babies. Don Bradman must be turning in his grave at the conduct of Australian sports persons.\n\nAs a cricket fan who has been following the game since the last 30 years or so,I've noticed once the opposing team lands in their country, every member is under a microscope and the smallest detail is mentioned by the Aussie press with generally a negative connotation. \n\nI think, but I am not sure -one of their captains has even gone on record by saying that winning is everything, not fair play, and that they like to play with their opponents minds on and off the field.\n\nAussie cricket umpires are also cheats and racists. \n\nWhen the tables are turned, they are the first ones to cry foul and shout themselves hoarse that any act by any member of their team, whether correct or not is correct. They also end up running the host countries press down at every opportunity for prying in to their personal lives, but their own press is so biased that it never gives the opponent country's players a chance to say their piece or clarify. Even if perchance the Aussie press do permit the opponents to speak, they end up distorting comments to make the player look bad, and play with his mind.\n\nOver all especially Aussies (let's say white cricket playing countries - South Africa, UK, NZ and Aussies, and I not trying to be racist here, it's an observation I am making) are lousy host countries and bad, ugly guests.\n\nThe English and this means the players, the press, etc. sometimes beat the Aussies at being bad sports, they too are big cheats, on and off the field, but they are less racist than the Aussies.\n\nThe above are my personal opinions and may be based on limited knowledge, I do concede that, but if I were an Aussie, I am sure I wouldn't.

The Indians are not angels either. They may not be rude but I dont expect many of their players to be sensitive. Saurav turned up late for a toss and he turned up in his track suit rather than in his  official blue blazer. Harbhajan has had numerous infractions too. What about Asish Nehra, Zaheer Khan ? So the point is we are all human . It is basic human courtesy to oblige and be nice. In my opinion, I think the Indians should give what they get on the field. If the Aussies are rude to them on the field, its always good to give it back to the "mate" on the field. If they are nice, there is no question why the Indians should  misbehave. Now the Indians will be making a huge mistake if they retaliate to the Pawar issue. Rahul as a leader is way ahead with his mental maturity so he should be doing good leading his bunch.

I hope you are being paranoid about expressing your opinion on whether something is offensive or not.  That should be subjective, personal to each person and their moral code.

I concur.  I feel like adherence to a prescribed moral principle removes personal responsibility.  I've felt that way (only perhaps less eloquent!) since I was eight.  If you are a good person because you adhere to the Bible / church values unquestioningly, you aren't actually a good person.  You are only truly good if you are the person choosing your own behavior.  I think fundamentally it boils down to manners - in greater or lesser dimensions.

I am an Indian and I am too offended by the questions that people out here usually ask. I don't think they even check back for the responses. (Except for the ones looking for Pathan's cell number.).\n\nI do admit that the language is a problem. But that shouldn't be an excuse for asking questions just for the sake of it.\n\nI think this section clearly reflects the state of Indian cricket. Millions of fans, yes. But look at their understanding of the game. No wonder the Indian cricket board makes billions, without the team doing anything of significance on the field.\n\nOne more point: You are lucky that you don't have to read Indian cricket journalists as I have to do every morning. They are even more pathetic. It takes one century to make Sehwag the best ever Indian opener. And the next day duck makes him a player who has got into the team through his "connections".
