Re: U.S. politics thread and Joe Biden-the Ronan O'Gara of U.S. Presidents
There are reasonable concerns about advantages institutions have in various markets, but this isn't as one sided as there are no reasons to restrict retail access. People could lose a lot of money very quickly, and whilst that's always going to be true I can see why you'd look to mitigate that at t...

Re: Jeremy Guscott v Manu Tuilagi - who was better?
The answer clearly depends on who beat the All Blacks the most. Guscott - 1993: Eng x1, Lions x1 Tuilagi - 2012: Eng x1, 2019: Eng x1 It’s a draw. However, the quality of Tuilagi’s performances in those wins puts him well clear of Guscott. Yes This is known as the ‘Matt Cockbain Index’ We call it t...

You don’t think broken promises of the government-of-the-day should be scrutinised? Millions more Australians got a bigger tax cut than they were previously going to get.

The 100m is such a unique spectacle of genetics and hard work, that if someone makes it, we feel they belong to all of us
I certainly don’t notice too much that Bolt was Jamaican. Just a fantastic human athlete who is a wonder to behold

Re: The Australian Politics Thread
Indeed. It’s almost as if it’s the opposition’s responsibility to get the government out of a hole
However, it fits with the ‘someone else’s fault’ mentality of modern society, I’ll say that for it.

Re: SRP Rd 6 - Reds v Brumbies
I like how the Reds post the schools and junior clubs where players were developed. It would be great if the brumbies could do the same… Most of the players at the Brumbies were developed at the Brumbies. :lol: Whereas we know that most all talent actually arises from Eastwood! ;) :) :)

So, that confirms the ‘no evidence’ thing, then If you reduce the penalty for something - anything - it becomes more likely to happen. Just like the stupidity of 20 minute red cards....
