If you want to talk about Ben Cousins, post it here (mega merged thread)

[Wardy]

The media is just pisssed because they lost track of him.

With the pieces of hidden camera work they showed last night from his last stint in LA, I'm not surprised he's done a "runner". It's the only way he could get some privacy.

I think you have hit the nail on the head - they (the media) must have thought they would always be one step ahead of him. But the Cousins camp would have had an alternative plan all along - their plan worked and the press are left with egg on their faces. All that can be said is that the title of "investigative journalist" should be changed to "gossip columnist" for the person who made the original claim that he had gone missing. Mind you the media will just say that they were "mislead to believe.............."

I think its time that we all moved on from this.

[stellation]

Yeah, he's got lots of problems.

He's in LA.
Got picked up by a couple of Blondes.
And has, supposedly, hooked up with Cameron Diaz.

I'd like to have those problems.

except for the rehab bit.

I also feel sorry for someone who for all we know is a casual drug user suddenly being held up to society as an evil, evil drug addict.

[swantastic]

Agree 100%. You are an adult who says stupid things and I enjoy laughing at how stupid those comments really are.

I too enjoy laughing you your stupid comments too little man.

Unfortunately that is the price of fame. Your every move, especially the bad ones, are publicised to the max.

If he was an actor or in a rock band, most people wouldn't bat an eye.

Me self and 3 other mates were "casual drug users" too Stell,but me and another mate woke up to the fact that it was stupid but the other two didnt.One of them worked for me but threatened to kill my family over $75 dollers,which pushed me over the edge and we had a confrontation and i belted the @@@@ out of him.Sufice to say i have never spoken to him since and its been about 5 years.He has been to many centers over the years but he has always gone back to the gear,the drugs triggered some thing in his brain and turned him into a schizophrenic.Hence my IMO of Benny.

For all we know he could be a big time drug user, drug courier, mixing it with big time criminals, getting behind the wheel of a car while under the influence and potentially killing someone innocent.

For all we know, you could be all of the above.

With no duty of care.

You've really got to stop bowling long hop and slow waist high full toss posts to these guys.

No wonder they keep hitting you to the boundary.

[i'm-uninformed2]

I'm sure he is no more stupid than many other members of society, he just happens to be a public figure. I do feel sad for him, he appears to have some problems; I take no great joy in that.

I don't take joy in his troubles - in fact, I admire the fact that he's having a ball. Good for him. Go Benny go

Are you a murderer? You have all the traits....

[NMWBloods]

Are you a murderer? You have all the traits....

Does he owe you a duty of care?

Hey hold on. I never accused you of anything. You made some unsubstantiated comments about Cousins and I asked whether we could ask the same of you. To make more unsubstantiated claims like this one is way out of line.

It may be a wise move to remove it and refrain from making unsubstantiated claims about people. It can make you look a little foolish.

Why is it that you never think before mouthing off. If you did you wouldn't make such a fool of yourself every time you get swept up in the excitment of the moment.

I do feel very sorry for his father. He was devastated on the news tonight and has every right to be filthy with the bull@@@@ being peddled by the media and clowns on internet forums such as this.

For all we know, the "treatment" he is receiving at the "appropriate facility", could be at the top brothel in town.

Annie, you're starting to sound like a journalist.

He is in a rehab facility before going to The Summit Centre.
