Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2722162, member: 8215"] There was an article on news.com.au that appeared briefly and disappeared, how "what makes us aussie", ie, drinking and acting stupid, is no longer the case. More sensationalist bullshit. We still know how to have a good time. And it's never been okay to go too far. If Pearce wasn't a public figure, would there be an outcry over what he did? No. But if Pearce wasn't a public figure, someone would have slapped him, told him what a **** he was being, and taken him outside to be hosed down and left to dry / think about his actions on the front lawn. One thing I do wonder is, if people more familiar with Pearce were with him, would they have let him have that one too many drinks? Allegedly it was Copley, JNik and SKD with him. Maybe the rookies were too embarassed to say anything or didn't know what he was like, maybe SKD was too wasted himself or like the others too embarassed to speak up. That's not putting the blame on others. Quite the opposite. It would be pathetic if Pearce has had to be "managed" his whole life. Others needing to intervene to stop him going over, or whisking him away when he does. With his precious, pampered existence, he probably hasn't learned how to identify the signs or control himself. Maybe rehab can actually help him in this regard. For mine though, this isn;t alcoholism. This is just a kid who's had every leg up possible. He'd get the same "help" by having his contract torn up, live in the real world, and made to learn his lessons like the rest of us. At least then he'd appreciate the life he has, more than he would in an expensive clinic. [/QUOTE]
