End of Season awards: more airbrushing

Even if there was hard solid evidence for Ched being an extremely violent, thuggish rapist, he'd still be forgiven by people in a few years. Look at the likes of Chris Brown. He beat his girlfriend to a pulp, there was hard evidence for it, he didn't go to prison, and his music career has gone absolutely through the roof without him showing any signs of remorse whatsoever. He even won a bloody grammy and nobody (to my knowledge) suggested it to be taken off him. Society is utterly depressing.

Or you could say it's more civilised. Someone commits a crime, they do their sentence/pay their debt to society and, when they have done this, they should be free to carry on with their lives and not be punished for evermore.

Yes, this is true. I'm not saying that every criminal should be punished and hated for the rest of their lives, I'm just using the Chris Brown example because I and many others don't believe he has paid his debt to society or shown any kind of remorse.

>As for Adolf Hitler, well, he may have caused the death of millions and been the leader of one of the most evil regimes in history, but he inspired the VW Beetle, so good for him. And goose stepping, and quite possibly First Buses, although I might have to look that one up.

umm actually the Wehrmacht stopped goose stepping late 1939.. only the Russians and North Koreans do it these days..
i've never bought into the 'role model' thing.. i can't see how sports professionals should be entrusted with bringing up your kids.. it is buck passing from parents and teachers

Except Chris Brown didn't even go to jail.
