She doesn't read Woof.

Pardon me if I don't send flowers.

Don't really have a view on Pratt either way. But I do cringe to hear people saying how great he is, and of all the good he has done. Why can't people do that BEFORE people die/ are dying?

I suppose it's a time for reflection when you know things are coming to an end and most people want to remember the good things not dwell on the bad or any mistakes.

A lot of Australians won't feel anything when he dies, he has caused many families a lot of pain.

I agree. Its poor form for people to get cheap shots in when someone is that close to dying. Best to say nothing if you cant at least be civil.

Channel 9 news called him a 'Great Australian' which I don't agree with.

Agree with that, my point was if we think someone has done some good, or is a great person, tell them while they're here...and not just when they're on the way out...

So when you die, are we resolved of all the wrong doings of our past?

Of course not but it's generally only the bitter narrow minded people that primarily focus on that.
As D24/7 said, in times like this it's best to say nothing if you cant be civil.

The Chaser will add him to the list of top blokes when they're dead.

What's more inspiring: Glenn Archer's 300th or Richard Pratt on a death bed?

My tip - Cameron Cloke to kick 11 goals in the first 13 minutes.

Bit of low blow, isn't it?

No, I'm interested to see if it'll have an impact, particularly as the Blues are playing the Bulldogs this week and this happens to be a Bulldogs forum.
