Talk:Robert Griffiths (politician)

message: Someone more neutral than me might want to add a paragraph that applies to many such fringe political commentators, about their position on withdrawing funds somehow or other from trades unions which at the same time find that they do not have funds to represent members. The example I came across, which may be typical, is of a hard working group of activists maintaining a dysfunctional old-fashioned voting system so that they could elect each other as a sort of rotten borough. 20th century technology was ignored at branch 1/1148 of the T&G and only those who liked turning up to meetings got a vote, which happened to be in favour of funding the communist party.
As one musician said in front of the McArthy committee, he didn't see why anyone should declare their views if they are a nudist or a vegetarian or belong to some religious group. But when the issue is taking union funds that could have been used for lawyers, I think there is a public interest and there should be a paragraph on this about every fringe commentator who's offices and meetings are funded by unions.

Talk:Fetch (game)

message: I recently saw a child and a dog playing imaginary fetch, where the child only mimed throwing something. It reminded me that I used to do this too with a friend's dog. 80.0.100.238 (talk) 21:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Imaginary fetch 

message: Something that seems to be missing from the article that I'd have been interested in reading about is why dogs play fetch in the first place (aside from just "they think it's fun".)  For instance, do all dog breeds like to play fetch instinctively? At what stage of development do dogs show an interest in playing fetch?  Will dogs who haven't been trained to play fetch instinctively start playing it if you toss a ball or toy around?  And is there a researched evolutionary reason for dogs learning to play fetch (eg maybe dogs have been trained for thousands of years to fetch prey for hunters so the trait is now ingrained.)
And on a related note, what species other than dogs like to play fetch?  Will some species of cats or birds play fetch, and if so how much training does it require if any?  Is falconry a related activity, for example?
It seems likely to me that there are some reliable sources out there to answer some of the questions I mentioned, but personally I'm not in a position to research it.  But if anybody else is looking to improve the article, those topics might be something to consider finding sourced answers for.  63.95.36.13 (talk) 21:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

text: Still, the topic seems kind of relevant. So if the experts or such really don't know why dogs fetch, then maybe it should say that in the article. --31.45.79.44 (talk) 22:42, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paragraph or section on why dogs play fetch? 

message: Is there a reason cats are not mentioned in this. I know that cats also play fetch. At least I know one cat that plays fetch. Even though it's not as common among cats I think it should still be mentioned.

That citation is to an article on linkedin by one of his mentees praising him for his work, which is certainly not an impartial source and also definitely does not constitute widespread credit to Hogan for "demonstrating how personality factors influence organizational effectiveness" - in fact, that one citation is the only credit speaking to that statement that I am currently able to find.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.121.128.86 (talk) 17:29, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
