Re: Harvey Weinstein’s New York Rape Conviction Overturned on Appeal

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Duff, I guess you need to define wealth. By most metrics, we're a wealthy country (2nd in the world using distorted gdp/capita, 6th using GNI), we're running budget surpluses despite covid and other factors and we're sadly seeing the effects of our success in housing and creaking services. But I ta...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Why? If we charged appropriately, a medical degree would probably cost hundreds of thousands of euro. That's beyond the vast majority of people. It’s not usually to graduate med school in the states with student debts north of $750k. But they make it back there. Do people want to pay US prices for ...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
I’m not making any comment on the quality of female doctors. There are good ones and shit ones just like the men.
