Beau Ryan reportedly off The Footy Show after alleged affair with Lauren Brant

[pennywisealfie]

Look, as far as im concerned it would just be absolutely proposturess if Channel 9 ever allow this poor excuse for a man back on our television screens again.

As a sidenote, i dont think we as a forum frequented by impressionable young minds should be going into too much of the sordid details here either. Mods - might be advisable to keep a close eye on this one to make sure it doesnt get out of hand.

I think the BHQ subscribers are ok with it :)

They let this guy back on so don't hold your breath.

Of course they would. 95% of all people would punch that douchebag over there with the topknot and faux torn singlet too, given a circumstance with less than perfect judgement. Some of us just know how to restrain ourselves, and know that short term pleasure is not worth the long term detriment.

Oh, you've misunderstood. We already know that short term pleasure is not worth the long term detriment. What I am saying is that even armed with this knowledge and knowing how to restrain ourselves 95% and possibly more humans would engage in nefarious pastimes. I accuse almost all people of being capable no matter how mightily they think they could resist and are so disciplined. What stops most people is not that they are righteous or strong but that they simply will never have that circumstance thrust upon them. For a man, the embodiment of all his fantasies in one woman( or man lol ) throwing themselves at him and absolutely no chance anyone will ever know unless he tells .

If the ultimate temptation is placed in front of any person and it happens in a circumstance that assures total secrecy and if they've had just the right amount of whatever that clouds the judgement a little, I believe most would take the chance. It's in our nature and the ones that think 'that wouldn't never happen to me' or 'my husband/wife would never do that' are living in a fantasy world. Most of us are a little tiny bit dirty and I mean most.

To be fair, at least this bloke was one of the best players in the game. Ryan on the other hand wouldn't even make a top 500 wingers list.

 

[broncos4life]

Proposturess lol...stilling laughing hard after reading that one ! What sort of media device would allow one to so mangle an English word ? Surely it has a spell check feature! If it doesn't, well it's preposterous!!! Yeah I know, it's the Internet and I'm a grammar nazi blah blah blah...

Please tell me I'm not the only person that finds this amazing.

 

[Browny]

Might watch the footy show now he's not on it, lol still won't watch it.

Dont condone cheating but my care factor is non existent

Religion is not to blame for that. How can it be, especially if you believe that there is no higher power? Seems to me like you should be lamenting humans' gullibility and propensity to act like sheep, either too afraid or simply unable to question the powers-that-be.

I'm agnostic, not atheist.
I don't know whether there is a God or higher power, but I am absolutely certain he/she/it did not came down from heaven or Valhalla to tell us how to behave, much less commit atrocities to our fellow human beings.

Religion is man made, its many scriptures versions were written by men, quite possibly with the best of intentions, but nonetheless abused by a few to influence the minds of the many, simply through biased interpretation of whatever fiction book they call holy. Those few pray on gullibility of the generally lesser educated and informed people, much in the same way that fascists and/or neo-nazis do.

Marriage, like most things in life, does require hard effort. But the reward is worth it. That's what bothers me so much - that people think that something as complex as a life-long relationship should be easy, and if not then they're better off elsewhere. If a marriage gets to the point where it's untenable, then there would have been signs way earlier in the piece that called for some maintenance.

Maybe we have a different interpretation of hard effort.
If I can't enjoy my partner's company, and no longer have romantic feelings for her, I would feel hypocritical hanging around because we've signed a piece of paper. Most hard effort would go into keeping up appearances to the exterior.

A relationship is an exercise in compromises, but I am only willing to go through those compromises for the benefit of someone I care deeply for. Once that feeling is gone, being forced into those compromises will only result in more and more resentment towards one another, which in turn... results in many looking for what they crave somewhere else, ending up on sites like... you guessed it: Ashley Madison!

People simply crave that same high that you get when you court, seduce, or are courted or seduced by another.

Yup, that's biology at work right there!

You're once again blaming the gun, and not the person pulling the trigger. Religion, in this sense, is merely a tool. A way to control people. Repeat something over & over until it becomes truth. Can you see some parallels there with, say, the media? Do you blame the media for exacerbating certain situations, manipulating half-truths, pushing agendas? Or do you blame the people behind it? There is a huge irony here in that the media has become more & more anti-Christian, be it broad-brushing them all as gullible fools who believe in fairys, even going to the extent of portraying them as harmful, as counter-social (eg, grouping anti-vaxers & Christians as one and the same). Even grouping Christians with terrorists, because IS are doing the sort of stuff that Christians long repented for many hundreds of years ago. You know, the exact same manipulation that Christians have been blasted for.

A lot of Christians are dumb. I work with some of them, truth be told. They don't have an understanding for how things work, for cause & effect, so mark it down as beyond human understanding and therefore "God's work". Similarly, there are those that I believe aren't doing Christians any favors in terms of what they preach. Hillsong, for example, preach that if you follow God, you'll get everything you want. The Prosperity Movement. **** that. That's a cult, and is so far from what Christianity should be about.

The ones that never get a mention are the ones that you don't see portrayed in the media, the same way a photo of a footy player doing charity work gets lost amongst the one ones pissing on someone's head (or in their own mouth). There's nothing sensational or click-bait-worthy about people dedicating their time and their money to make the world a better place. Their one principal? Whatever you do, do it with love. Do it for the right reasons. It's these same people who believe in those ten things written on two pieces of stone not because they've been told to, but because each and every one of those ten things has a purpose. They're not to control, they're to protect. In [MENTION=1992]Huge[/MENTION]'s example earlier, these "commandments" become relevant because by following these things, it means you are far less likely to even be put in the situation where the temptation is too great. Where the slippery slope of perving, to actively seeking out pornography, to fantasising about extramarital romantic encounters, to acting out on it, is negated. So when "that" situation does arise, there is the integrity and the discipline to not even give it a second thought. Do I believe that perving should be illegal? Do I think that those that cheat should be stripped naked and stoned to death in the streets? Of course not. I would like to think that we as a civilisation should be capable of controlling our behavior, should have armed ourselves with the knowledge that there are certain temptations that should not be given in to. That writing something off as a "natural human response" is not a good enough excuse. But cheating, and with things like alcohol, with drugs, with gambling, it is painfully clear that some people out there can't help themselves, can't or won't see the dangers, and that is where those 10 things come in to play. Because if you're like me and break one or more of those commandments every day, at least they're there as a warning, as a reminder that there are certain things that can get the better of you and, again, like [MENTION=1992]Huge[/MENTION] said, it just takes one situation and you're over the line before you even realise it. Those that do have that discipline get my respect, and those that ridicule someone who aspires to be a better person, not because they are told to, but because they want to, worry me.

Now, to wind back the preachiness of all that, you want to know something? Those warnings, those morals, those values, those things that sound so out-of-touch, so dated to ever be considered as something that should be upheld as "law", by conversing with you, with the foursome, with the staff and the members that I've met or conversed with, I have a fairly good idea that those same morals are the things deep down that a lot of you hold as important anyway. Despite the fact that a lot of you are anti-Christian, that the vast majority don't believe in a higher power, is irrelevant. Because in essence, you believe in a society that does good by others. That acts in love as opposed to greed or hatred or selfishness. If I didn't think a lot of you were good people I would have ran away a long time ago.

If it gets to that point, it's been futile for a long time. The "hard effort" I speak of is when you're absolutely dog tired from work, you get home, you just want to go to bed, but you tell your wife to go to bed so you can put the kids to bed, so you can clean the kitchen and tidy up, so you can do all the shit that she selflessly does every night, because you love her. And you can just take out your tiredeness on your work colleagues the next day anyway.

Yup, that's biology at work right there!

You actually are agreeing with me. Doing that bold part for my partner is not hard effort... I actually enjoy doing it for her sake, because she deserves it.

However, when you no longer feel that way (and no, you don't see it coming, because you're invested in the relationship, and unconsciously already working hard to make it work), which really happens more often than not, although how long this takes can vary greatly from person to person, there is no reason to stay in a relationship, signed paper or not, regardless of how the other feels. And I personally feel that doing so out of duty to culture or religion, is incredibly stupid.

What Huge says is probably right, because we are wired to seek the reward that the "hunt and consummation" bring, that's a biological fact on which our own preservation and subsistence rests.

But it is also true that it's highly unlikely you will put yourself in a position to be that vulnerable, if you're in a good loving relationship.
Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but I'm sure the former is valid for most of us.

I don't agree. Doing the dishes is always hard effort.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Hard effort is in the training......

It's taken me ages to train my Mrs and it's taken a lot of hard work, manipulation and endless rounds of psychological warfare on my behalf to get her to the point where she actually enjoys looking after me.

Fucked if I'd want to go through that all over again.

 

[Porthoz]

It's called a dishwasher...
