There was a smallish article about it, but as you will see, most of this article was still focussed on Jessica Leandra Dos Santos

Look this girl up in google: Elizabeth Lambert

She played a soccer match one afternoon and got quite rough. She didn't kill anybody or anything, she was just downright nasty...but...the event was filmed and got onto the net...Her entire world got turned upside down and she will forever be known as "The female football hooligan". As if nobody has played really rough before or after. Now really, lets be honest, there are times when we all do things that we are not proud of and regret but should such things end your life for no other reason than becoming public knowledge and thus becoming a common scapegoat.

There's the real danger of one racial outburst, it will a knock off effect. The unnecessary retailiation. Both parties are equally wrongThis is the reason why we should be socially responsible and not engage in racism. We still need ongoing reconciliation in our country. Part of this process is forgiveness when a person apologizes. Both ladies should be given another chance. It’s a lesson learnt. Both these ladies should realize that their individual actions can cause impressionable school and university students to react detrimentally towards each other, it can cause neighbors to react.

It is sad that things like this still happen. It may be a habit of expressing yourself, such as "I will kill you", without really meaning it. The truth is how other people experience what you do or say, not what you actually meant.

The other thought that crossed my mind is that; if you want to pose naked or semi naked in girly magazines, you should expect men (ALL MEN) to react to it in some way, whether positive or negative. If you offer yourself as a toffee, expect to get chewed.

The guy in question (guy-not gentleman) should also be ashamed of his chauvinistic behaviour.

Actually, that article deserves another thread. Certainly an interesting topic.

I had something similar wander through my mind - it's ok to have suggestive images sent out to the world, but making suggestive noises are a no-no?

But on reflection, there is a difference between personal and in person. And of course if a women dresses to flaunt her assets it doesn't mean she's inviting all and sundry to bed her against her will.

The Big Brother story - The biggest pronlem is that nobody forces anybody to publish all their info on Facebook or Twitter. It is like saying that nobody should repeat what somebody said when that person stood at the top of a building and shouted it out for all to hear.

In the interests of not derailing this thread, I've made a new thread for the Big Brother topic.

I admire both these ladies for the way they turned a seemingly hopeless situation into one in which they are now respected and commended. This really does so much good for ongoing ubuntu and reconciliation. Their target audience the youth will now take heed to what their icons have done wrong.

...or one can say that the principal told them to shake hands and say sorry in front of the entire school...its all in how you see it.

...perceptions...

...some say the glass is half full, some say the glass is half empty, and wise ones say that the glass is a figment of the imagination of a biased observer....
