Now I have a tear in my eye thinking about Haiu. I hope the best for Suafoa.

White people don't believe racism exists except when black people do something racist against whites. I never said whites don't see racism, I said their definition of racism is no n words allowed in my store. F u ck, that is me told. Thank god I have this wise c u nt to set me straight.

Schizophrenia is a horrific condition. I had to study its interactions with the law when at uni. It's pretty grim. People can live with it for years, then suddenly they are cooking their mother in a bullet smoker. A tenant/friend of a friend has it. It was weird cause when I met him 25 years ago, H...

See how Whites view the state of Racism https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2019/04/09/race-in-america-2019/ That doesn't at all support what you said. It shows most whites do believe there is racism DT. Likewise it doesn't support your point, as I pointed out the case of the wider public bei...

The George Zimmerman case was one that outraged the nation as well when he murdered an innocent black kid and got off. It's interesting and unknown the meme effect. I'm referencing to the Dawkins theory that inspired the online picture thing. How some news stories or narratives catch fire and other...

The scene was full of his blood. It was also in the bronco and the socks in his bedroom, along with Nicole's and Ron's for fvcks sake. Yeah... So much blood. Did you watch the court case at the time? I so wanted him to get done. But the more I watched the more I didn't think he did it.. Scene wasn'...

They've openly said it was revenge for Rodney King. An 11 month trial and they deliberated for less than 4 hours ffs. The Brown and Goldman families deserved better. Fuhrman was a proven racist and allowed to take the stand and he devastated the case. So too not realizing a leather glove shrinks wh...

If you had looked at those photos you would have seen Ron Goldman (a stong guy trained in self defense) had extensive marks on his knuckles and hands not from knife wounds but from striking the assailant. OJ in a LAPD strip search in the days after the murder had not a mark on him. It's been a long...

Also I recommend watching the ESPN documentary OJ: Made In America. It shows things like how part of OJ's support with in the black community was a small thing like how a Korean shop owned shot and killed an innocent black girl cause he thought she was shoplifting and was acquitted on all charges. H...

Never understood the criticism of the prosecution and making Simpson's "dream team" out to be geniuses. Jurors openly admitted to finding him not guilty as revenge against whitey. OJ could have represented himself and got off. I don't think this is true. I've seen interviewers with jurors in which ...

Deadtigers

The less about this prick the better OJ is historic, he proved that in America not just the white and rich escape justice, but the black and rich can to. A seminal moment in US race relations. Black guy I know said similar. They treated him like he was a run of the mill n word and not an n word wit...

Shit, hope it all goes well. Sorry to hear about this

Sullivan has had a long term injury. I don't think he will be available for a few more games. Based on Cotters comments it seems Sullivan is considered key to the Blues ideal kicking game. Forbes has been good but I think Evans even has a better kicking game than him. I see Evans as the power 12 th...

Seeing Plummer start at 10 against the Force worries me about Sullivan. I am sure it is on him to grab it but with the season Forbes is having, he is under pressure at 15. I have always felt he should have more game time at 10. I don't want us to push him out and he go to MP, Landers or Crusaders an...

It will take a long time and some key wins plus silverware for me to forget the fiasco of a 6/2 bench in Wellington - not the hallmarks of a competent coach IMO , especially when they used Sotutu [ who could cover all of 9-15] as a forward replacement. It was the poor handling and finishing that wa...

The depth at prop isn't great at the moment, remember you lost Laulala, Hodgman, James Lay when Rangi jumped ship. Cotter is doing better than McDonald considering that he is currently operating without an attack coach and has come in after an exodus of players - Tom Robinson, B.Barrett, Laulala, H...

I have no idea who is showing US internationals and I live in the US. I assume the Rugby Channel.

Deadtigers

Did Tony Brown come on board as attack coach or consultant.

I lack of prop depth is gonna be a test but we kind of have work on quicker ball out of the scrum.

Battle of useless left wingers and Chelsea have the more useless wingers I don't understand why no one on the United defense took a yellow and just took a man down to stop the ball after that third goal. Our CB replacement for our injured CB also got injured. At some point we have to look at what is...

Kinda depends on the teams play style doesn't it? Smith was perfect for NZ because he was excellent at distribution. However for a team that focuses more on rucks and mauls etc you would probably want someone like FdP. If a team focuses more on after match pie eating, then Piri Weepu enters the pic...

This was a hollow victory. I always wanted the Blues to beat the Crusaders but this wasn't a good Crusader side, it wasn't the team from last year.

This has got to be the worst kicking display in Blues history Perofeta needs to be hooked. Can’t Sullivan kick? Poor captaincy really not to change the kicker when someone has the yips bad. One of the forwards can kick surely? Blues should have won that by 20 points, but let them off the hook with ...

I think the problem is looking at this as a gripe. The point is that Scotland won't make the next step up without better grassroots. It's not rocket science. Whether that's achievable, I don't know. You're point on grassroots is valid, and I think universally shared. We're all screaming for the SRU...

Deadtigers

No, wrong comparison. Yes we had 3 kiwis, damn good ones. We also had Ringrose and McCloskey on the bench to back up aki. For Lowe we have multiple options, all not as good but solid all the same. The comparison you need to make with Scotland is not how many players are qualified from birth, it's h...

Deadtigers

That is myth. The Irish just won with 3 Kiwis in their backline but no one questions them cause Leinster is so awesome. Let's not start this again. We all know that the double standards applied in this debate are skewed. And I don't recall a single argument where someone said, "ye Ken what, you've ...

A good few of those were 2nd places on points diff and contained a few triple crowns also. Scotland have a serious issue in that they rely on players developing elsewhere and produce precious little themselves That is myth.

Deadtigers

Scotland's tight five isn't top level. Nevertheless, they should really have finished 2nd or 3rd, badly let down by an Irish TMO. Probably a fair comment on all points but how did Townsend get a team with a non-top level tight 5 to beat England and come so close to France? Do people really think th...

Not sure why coaches continue to take such a huge risk by opting for a 6-2 bench split? It cost the Blues the match yesterday, they had a halfback playing on the wing for three quarters of the game. I know the Springboks won the last RWC with a 6-2 split, but I don't actually think it in itself was...

Would be nice in Toonie managed to win this one but I have no confidence under his leadership.

Deadtigers

As I am half Scots / half Italian I don't know wether to laugh or cry. However, one of the keys for Italy is you no longer look down the Italian team sheet and cringe at some of the names. Weaknesses and weak players used to be blindingly obvious in the past but now every player is at least solid. ...

Deadtigers

Good game. Scotland fell apart after that denied try which felt harsh but fair. Again, I hope this lose is enough for the SRU to understand that Toonie is at his max and can't take the team any further.
