Re: N***er goooone!...




We get it, TB - you think the N-bomb is a suitable word for black people and you can’t understand what all the fuss is about.


Er. No. Considering my ex is Jamacian, I never would consider using the N word in a derogatory fashion, I find it appalling. I also find this rewriting of history ...

Dambusters dog's memorial replaced by RAF to remove its racist name
The much-loved squadron dog died on the same night that his owner breached the famous German dams during the Second World War.

Re: Rugby AU - new pro comp

I don’t think there can be another team in Qld, if the Reds remain. Same with NSW.

If we take the jump, and I’m increasingly keen, we need to get bold, which means withdraw the Tahs and Reds to their former incarnations as rep teams. They would be replaced with perhaps Brisbane (I’d call them ...

Re: New Zealand Rugby set to ditch SANZAAR, Super Rugby - report

Dilute the strength..... that is such a nonsense argument.

AFL has 18 teams
NRL has 16 teams

NZ can’t have more than 5 rugby teams? Sounds legit.

And what is the strength of a team? It’s relative to other teams and nothing more. This is the first bit of idiocy that must be kicked into touch ...

Re: So, coronavirus...


The death rate has always been low amongst anyone who isn't old or has an underlying condition. No doubt people in those categories will have changed their behaviour even if the majority of people haven't. So, those still catching the virus may well come from sectors of society that are less ...

No.

When this first happened it was a new disease and they had no idea of its effects and what to treat. In particular it has a really weird symptom that’s never been seen with a respiratory disease previously, it gets into the blood and causes thickening and clotting, leading to organ ...

Has to be viral load, right? Exactly zero people wear masks or practice social distancing in Sweden. I’m at a resort with buffet breakfasts - it’s business as usual here.

So, I wouldn’t credit masks and such. I reckon weather must be a big factor, which ...

Herd immunity is a real thing - but you need a big % of people to have resistance. Once again, I’m an amateur at best, but I couldn’t foresee herd immunity until there is a vaccine.
