A Serious Debate On Abbott's Mental Health
Jun 10th, 2013 at 10:26am
 
For Abbott's wellbeing and Australia's future, it is time to discuss a serious issue about Tony's health.


Boxing's side effect in a higher rate of alzheimers due to brain damage of being repeatedly boxed in the head.


Now the early signs of alzheimers

Memory loss. Although older memories might seem unaffected, people with dementia might forget recent experiences or important dates or events that interferes with daily life. Anyone can forget some details from a recent event or conversation or recall them later. People with dementia might forget the entire thing.
Repetition. People with dementia may repeat stories, sometimes word for word. They may keep asking the same questions, no matter how many times they’re answered.
Language problems. We all struggle to remember a word occasionally. People with dementia can have profound problems remembering even basic words. Their way of speaking may become contorted and hard to follow.
Personality changes. People with dementia may have sudden mood swings. They might become emotional - upset or angry - for no particular reason. They might become withdrawn or stop doing things they usually enjoy. They could become uncharacteristically suspicious of family members -- or trusting of telemarketers.
Disorientation and confusion. People with dementia may get lost in places they know very well, like their own neighborhoods. They may have trouble completing basic and familiar tasks, like cooking dinner or shaving.
Lack of hygiene. Sometimes this is the most obvious sign of Alzheimer’s disease. People who have dressed smartly every day of their lives might start wearing stained clothing or stop bathing.
Odd behavior. We all misplace our keys from time to time. People with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are prone to placing objects in odd and wholly inappropriate places. They might put a toothbrush in the fridge or milk in the cabinet under the sink.

Have you observed any of these symptoms in Mr Abbott.

Surely it would be better for Mr Abbott  to get a brain scan before the election so he can start treatment early ... or voters can try and build confidence in Abbott's mental abillity.

It doesn't matter.

His political opponents, particularly the Green ones are already mentally challenged.

So you are happy to hand government to a potentially mentally challenged person like Abbott.

The side effect, the extra pressure of government would speed up his collapse.

A little selfish on your part don't you think.

Boxing also creates vigour, courage, strength, confidence, self-esteem, valour, speed, and stamina. Every man should learn boxing or a martial art.

Incorrect, he was boxed in the head over a long time period, so sustained a large amount of brain trauma.

Actually I stand corrected it was 4 bouts.

http://www.theage.com.au/sport/abbott--not-the-greatest-but-a-fighter-20091204-k...

Quote:
PLAYING first-grade rugby as a prop for Sydney University at the age of 19, Tony Abbott, the newly elected leader of the Liberal Party, received more than his fair share of foul blows. I understand. I played football for the University of Tasmania during the Vietnam war. We learnt all about fear on the football field.

Eventually, ''Abo'', as he is known to his mates, went off with a couple of others and sought instruction in boxing. A few years later, while drinking in a pub with a group of friends at Oxford, it was put on Abbott that he should fill the vacancy for a heavyweight in the university boxing team. By closing time, it seemed a good idea, but considerably less so when he woke the following morning with a hangover. What happened next is possibly the most intriguing part of the story.

Among Abbott's friends at Oxford was a ''most unusual Jesuit'' from America who took his vow of poverty so seriously he dressed in clothes that had belonged to other priests who had died. He was also a boxer. When Abbott arrived at the gym to declare his unavailability for the Oxford team, he was met by the Jesuit who had gone out and bought him a skipping rope. To a man committed to a life of poverty, a skipping rope represents a major financial outlay. This is like one of those moments in a medieval tale, possibly a comedy, when the knight's honour is engaged. Abbott then believed he had no choice.

In his first bout, against Cambridge, he knocked his opponent out cold in 45 seconds. His second, against a cadet officer from Sandhurst Royal Military College, was also over in the first round. His third bout, against a marine who had fought in the Falklands War and "a much bigger man", was won by Abbott on a TKO when his opponent took his fifth standing count in the second round.

In the fourth and final fight of his career
, he triumphed for the second time over a Cambridge man - the bout again being stopped in the first round

Abbott has been exposed to brain trauma in training and in being punched in the head.

He also has a history of being punched in the head ...


On one occasion he was even beaten up at a university conference.[15]

At the University of Sydney Abbott studied law and economics, and engaged with more enthusiasm with the left-wingers who dominated student politics, being beaten up at one conference and eventually becoming the president of the Student Representative Council.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Abbott

Abbott also played rugby as a teenager and was involved in violent fights. More exposure to brain trauma.

(On the rugby field, he landed a few punches himself. He told a friend he yearned to be a hero)

http://www.smh.com.au/national/the-missing-element-of-selfdoubt-20091204-kaxl.ht...


Abbott is in the high risk group when it comes to Parkinson desease and Alzheimers and so should undergo testing so to protect and slow down any symptoms.

Anyone opposing a brain scan on Abbott is putting their own interests first and that is selfish behaviour.

So, that's just par for the course for any red blooded Australian male.

If you haven't had a good blue, played footy and lost a bit of claret you should maybe be a hairdresser like the first bloke.... Grin
