      I wouldn't call him even if it was free.

    +1 for sharing and caring.

    Only thing is, with most of Vodafone's new post paid and pre paid plans, there are infinite national calls and text.

    Still don't feel lile calling Adam Goodes. Bad enough you cannot boo any footy players these days, without a player taking offence and accusing you of discrimination. Next up you won't be able to cheer either. Footy is just no fun any more.

    Okay, okay; off topic!

      Booing any player is just plain boorish. Perhaps we should all just boo you incessantly as you're walking down the street because that's "fun"?

        I don't even play footy! I must say, for the uninformed, and totally as off topic as your comment, that I have never booed any player. I used to be a secretary for an infamous football team (for only a year) but with all the hats I wore, I never had time or inclination for that nonsense. As an observer I noticed most players copped a fair share of teasing, sledging if you will, and it went both ways. We had one aboriginal player who copped more than his fair share, as he had changed clubs, but I always encouraged him to be better than them; he became our Season's best player. My opinion was the more sledging (booing or otherwise) you received you knew you were upsetting them, so best to act unconcerned … smile even, because doesn't that get to the other party. I encouraged our teams to go out smiling, even in the face of defeat; that always rattled others.

        I had also put forward a complaint about foul language at the games, to the League committee, which resulted in all clubs being cautioned and expected to encourage restraint from their supporters. I had no problems with Adam Goodes but I feel he did more harm than good with his methods of trying to stop booing etc; kind of made him a target for more, acting like he is better than others and turning it into the almighty racism slur. Players are used to, or should be used to, all methods used to put them off the game, and if he makes out he has never participated in any of those methods, he is totally out of line.

        So, anyways, go ahead and boo me; I'll just return it with a smile, or worse still ask you what your football team is! There was a time when teasing was part of the Australian culture; a custom of friendliness and banter, sharing a joke or two. A time also, when if a child called you a name then you just fired back another one, or the old "sticks and stones may hurt my bones, but words will never hurt me." Most of us knew how to sort bullies out too, without parental intervention, and we stood by our friends. I never picked on others but had my fair share of taunting at times, which I sorted out myself; suffice to say I never was bullied, in my opinion anyway.

        Another off topic; but I thought you needed some explanation.

          ah yes, the good ol' days when bullying, teasing and other passive aggressive BS were acceptable.

          you can leave your "toughen up princess" rhetoric back in the last century.

          if I @tdw](/comment/3018989/redir): Except the fact that it was this century and it worked for us. If it didn't for you that is not my fault. The so called bullying was left to a few stuck up wenches that eventually grew up. My family moved seceral times when I was young so I was always one of the new kids at school; you soon got the hang of making new friends.

          At the club I was secretary for we all helped one another out and no one was ever left out; be it race, religion, culture, whatever (we had them all). It wasn't necessary to have equal opportunity and anti-discrimination policies then either.

          If I don't like Adam Goodes now, because of his over the top behaviour, that is my prerogative. I have much respect for Anthony Mundine, his opinion, that Goodes should have kept on playing.

        • tdw on 01/09/2015 - 23:55

          @JediJan: you assume that everyone's bullying experience is/was the same. so you had it pretty light, therefore everyone else is overreacting to their situation.

          sorry not sorry, the just-suck-it-up mentality simply isn't tolerated any more.

        • JediJan on 02/09/2015 - 00:39

          @tdw: "Sorry you feel that way", that is standard comment from the ineffectual teachers and Education system we have now … and they purport to have the children's best interests at heart. That is what is fuelling the "bullying" mentality at schools today. I tell kids to shout so everyone can hear them; not to be quiet and unassuming. So then they get into trouble for doing so, so what; it happens. Teachers telling them not to be noisy! The bully is not so inclined when publicly exposed and has an audience that has been indoctrinated to report every misdeed.

          Difference is that Goodes is a man though, who chose to shame a young girl. He could have spoken to officials quietly between quarters. He should have ignored the booing; players are booed all the time and they can't all get to play the racism game. Sure it would be nice if they didn't but we don't live on a perfect World. Like i said earlier; if a player is copping the sledging then they know they must be seen as a threat … Don't get angry; get even.

        • tdw on 02/09/2015 - 03:27

          @JediJan: don't think kids are so innocent; they know exactly what they're saying and doing. her intentions may or may not have been racist but it's not the point - if she's old enough to dish out insults, she's old enough to cop any return fire.

          so the precious little petal couldn't handle Goodes setting her straight right there and then? let it be a valuable life lesson for her (and also her useless parents).

          complacency and ignoring bad behaviour only allows it to continue. sometimes it just takes a bit of humiliation to learn that booing/sledging isn't acceptable.

    Now we have BlackBerry Messenger, Whatsapp, Line, CacaoTalk, etc. who in their right mind would still talk on their smartphone?

      Who in their right mind even has a smartphone? The cameras are always watching you, the microphones are always listening, and everything on it has been sold and onsold to every marketing company on Earth.

    What does that mean? I mean let's not forget this is a publicity stunt for a money hungry scumbag telco.
