No not to that degree.

But that doesn't stop the following statement as ring complete common sense.

If you are depressed were would you rather be, in Andrew Fifitas shoes or your own, he has access to the best facilities in the world, plenty of people in today's ****house society deserve your empathy, he is most certainly not one of them.

Ps calling me a retard just confirms to me that you have no argument to make.

Hi 1999 ..I Could be wrong but I'd take a punt that you might be 15 ish. Perhaps you've made your point from 15 years perspective .We've listened and you made your rich or poor perspective .BUT also read what others are saying . If you've come from a hellish upbringing . Money fame access to high paid therapists doesn't change the headspace that you might be in prior to seeking help . Do you understand that ? At 15 there is still much more to experience and learn before making such claims .

I dont see your point i really dont.

Andrew Fifita is one of our best players. As Sharks fans we do care about his well being. Not on a selfish level. Just because he has no financial troubles means nothing to me. Is it Andrew selling his story for sympathy or DT selling their scoops? There is no benefit for Andrew to have these articles printed, in fact they are probably more damaging than good.

My point is physcological, we are conditioned into idolising these heros in our society because we need our champions, the fact is we are fans of our club for two reasons, we like the sport, and we need to feel like we are part of something bigger (hence why we refer to "our" clubs actions as "our" or "we" not "them" and "they"), the poorer classes who struggle daily manage to pay hard earned money to buy a Jersey or go to a game need to realise they are paying to watch someone kick a ball. That's it. And they make millions for it.

We cry when they lose and we sing when they win, nothing has changed in a thousand years, nor will it ever. And when our champions fall we are there to help pick up the pieces, when all around us the common people suffer and no one utters a word.

I don't feel sorry for Fifita, at all. I feel sorry for a society that deems it necessary to feel sorry for him.

One thing I can promise you all that is even without your prayers Andrew Fifita will be fine, go donate your time and effort and thoughts to a cause that could really make a difference in someone's life.

And you judge me for not feeling sorry for someone that as we speak is probably getting the best treatment a human being can have access to while the rest of us suffer in silence.

That's ****ing sad.

You lot see the world as a fairy tale.

You really don't get it do you. Mental health is a real issue and us saying, "hope he get the help he needs" has nothing to do with what he does or how much he earns. I would, and have had the same feeling when I have encount other people in my life that have had to battle this deamon.

Not a fairy tale mate,

Just showing some concern for a fellow human being suffering from a terrible condition.

You're coming across as pretty ignorant right now.

Anyone is susceptible to mental illness. I don't know why you keep trying to link his wealth and status into the situation, because there's no connection.

I'll back down cos I'm obviously upsetting people.

Try and have a little think about the deeper meaning of your unwavering support for a person that has everything you don't, while you walk past homeless person after homeless person and instantly push the image of their suffering from your mind.

And read some Carl Jung. Might open your eyes a little.

Peace.

Why? Cos a rich, famous, centralized figure in our society is having life issues and I refuse to add to the public outcry of empathy.

Maybe I volunteer, maybe I donate a lot of my pittance of a wage, you know to people that are suffering REAL problems, maybe I've got a bigger heart then you think, I'm just not an idiot.

Don't you think that there is something inherently wrong in our physcology that we struggle to pay money out of our small wages to buy what these people sell, making them stupidly rich in the process and then feel sorry for them when they hit a bump in the road.. **** no, not me.
I have been seeing a psych for the best part of twenty years. As someone diagnosed with major depression and masochism but I never shy away from saying I have a problem with depression. It is related to chemical imbalances in the brain. It has nothing to do with being rich and famous, or the size of your pay packet.

You are an absolute dick. Grow up!

Grow up.

Wouldn't you like access to the facilities Fifita has right now? You might not of suffered for twenty years.

Is it really that immature to think against the collective. Am I really crazy for thinking that Fifita's got all he needs without my support.

And yes Gil I do keep going on about wealth and stature, because it is you and I who put them in their place in society, and it's you and I who keep them there, and now it's up to you and I to feel sorry for him when something goes wrong, really?

Realise he has more now than most will ever. And I'm not just talking about possessions I'm talking about freedom. When people like Cranky here have to make due.

Who feels sorry for him....??????????

People are wishing him all the best with his depression and hoping he seeks the right advise and overcomes this.

Once again you go on about his wealth......who give a flying **** how much money one has.

And I didn't put anyone in there place, I just support and watch the Cronulla Sharks, he is the only one who has done all the hard work to get there.

I'm not short on resources mate. I handle myself pretty well. You are ragging on someone because he might be lying. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt thanks. If it proves to be horse **** then so be it it.

So much for this back on page 170.

*puts hands in air*

Just trying to have an intelligent conversation about the deluded physcology of a football fan

I tryed to back out.

Gil, mate, all I'm trying to do is get people to think outside the collective unconscious. Have an opinion you thought up not what you've been told and taught to say.

Egg, I'm not 15 mate, but if I found a 15 year old that thinks the same way I do I'd give him a lot more time than what I would ever give you.

My opinions are what's going on in my life now and what has just happened in my life.
I didn't need to think about that, it was there right in front of me.

Your little mind games are just pathetic, you may think this a big joke,
But I can tell you now there's no such thing as a joke when it comes to depression.......trust me

When a fellow human can't wish another human well wishes..... then I don't know.

Good to see people talking about mental health. I have strong opinions about it myself.

But it would be good if everyone refrained from the personal insults. It doesn't help anyone.
