Re: The Moral Equivalent of Licking a Stripper Pole
What FB is still good for are the groups. There's a greenways Ireland group that is an excellent resource. My wife is a member of some autism resource groups and they are a big help as well. That's the problem I have. A run an historic aviation group and it's well trafficked and I don't permit any ...

Re: LA wildfires
I suspect one thing coming out of this will be a rethink of current state government / emergency services protocols regarding when to go and when to stay. More fatalities may be recorded before the last of the fires are extinguished, but at present the ratio of fatalities to buildings damaged destro...

Re: Ireland vs All Blacks
There is a big difference between individual players pushing boundaries and teams setting up to ignore the laws. Having players crawl slowly out of the back of rucks at every chance is obviously a coached decision, as is hitting rucks from the side as the 9 sets to pick up. That they are the most p...

Re: Things that don't deserve their own thread

As a bit of a plane nut when younger, it was highly pleasing to spot this reminder of my childhood.
