GG Bryce at a funeral today for a victim of a coward punch/king hit  said this type of behaviour is “unacceptable and un Australian”

 

When I had the temerity to say the exact same thing on here I was set upon and that my comment  was likened to racist remarks.

King hits and coward punches un Australian

Governor General Quentin Bryce tells the media that Daniel Christie losing his life to 'gratuitous violence' was inexcusable, intolerable and 'unAustralian'.

She did say  .. it's unacceptable, it's unAustralian.

 

I guess the point the others were making is that the king hits are becoming far to common that it has become part of Australian behaviour ?

i agree it is unacceptable but unfortunately i dont think its un Australian.

Australia has a younger male generation that drinks too much and act like thugs and yobbos.

 

And now that "king hits" get so much publicity, those same thug/yobbo Aussie blokes will think it cool to do them even more

Seems insensitive to be disputing the use/intention of a word, when a family is grieiving over the needless death of their 18 yo son.

am3 please dont try  to make this out to be insenitive to a grieving family, are they  on here?  no, this is an entirely different thing, and no offence intended to any family who have suffered through this type of  despicable act. OK?

 

Maybe I should have put a disclaimer on my post.

No, you were not set upon.  People commented.  Not everyone is going to agree with everyone else all the time but that doesn't mean people are "set upon" another, it means they disagree.

Well, I find the expression offensive who ever says it.  Which ever I look at it it says to me:  Australian = good - unaustralian = bad.

And to say that binge drinking is not Australian ..........?!

I think the suffering the family face is much more 'real' than someone objecting to a few replies they got on a forum.
