Big Wendall Sailor said something pertinent about twenty years ago. When asked by a journalist how it made him feel that someone in the crowd had called him a "black c-word", he replied, "well, I suppose it's pretty offensive to be called a c-unt". My respect for him sky-rocketed after that. Getting...

I wonder what the prevalence of "traces of CTE" are in the average, non-rugby-playing population? I'm not trying to belittle the importance of protecting player's heads. Just questioning what does "traces" mean, and how does this scale against a "control"? I have heard that even heading a soccer bal...

Way for all of you to not answer the clear example I gave you, well deflected. I replied to the being 'educated' comment in the same way, don't pin that on me. You have one definition that you hang your whole argument on and accuse me of dismissing it to fit my narrative? Did you read ANY other def...

Mog The Almighty

Anyone educated would understand it is a way more complex issue than using the simplest definition out there to try and show that this case would be the same if it were the other way round. Some of you argue that because you think that's how it should be, but you really know it's not. Simplify it m...

Is it wide side or wide kant? Flailing now. We were assured it was wit kant. Pronounced white in this instance. Wide side in Afrikaans is wyd kant. The wyd would sound like veight and the kant would sound like, well, cvnt. "Veight cvnt" is phonetically what "wide side" would sound like in Afrikaans...

The only thing I take issue with is this, white men are not one homogenous group across the world any more than any other group is - I have no problem in agreeing this is the case for the middle classes and above, but poor people have massive disadvantages wherever they are from and whatever their ...

But according to your other right-on brothers you can't be racist unless there is also systematic oppression. I don't know who my other "right on" brothers are. Racism by my definition is type of insult or discrimination based upon race, ranging from a benign joke to herding people from concentrati...

Can black people be racist? Of course they can. It's the degree of offence taken that is questionable. White men in 2023 are literally the most privileged humans to have ever existed in the universe.

Have to agree with Toro on this. Racism isn't just bigotry. A degree of systematic oppression is required. Can black people be racist? Of course they can.

If that was the reason on its own he would have blown the whistle when it happened Not really. Well he did before when Koch's knee went down so it's reasonable to assume he'd be consistent.

You almost never see what the refs see - or you might see one thing, they see another. I would have felt more aggrieved about awarding the fair catch. I reckon England would have turned that ball, as the Saffer ran off the mark before claiming it. Exactly this. And the commentators also often get i...

See above post.

RWC finals are always tight nervy affairs. SA has given 2 masterclasses in a row on how to win such games. NZ has just given masterclasses on how to give away yellow cards in such situations. There was nothing from either team today that suggests NZ are in trouble. It is time we have more confidenc...

It was a coin toss the first time and it would have been a coin toss the second time. There's nothing between those two sides besides luck. That is, the bounce of the ball, 50/50 call here and there and whoever happens by sheer coincidence - better sleep or whatever - to turn up 1% more switched-on...

That's that, I'm going to bed. Congratulations All Blacks. I didn't really expect Argentina to win - but who knows? There's been much bigger upsets - but I was hoping for a closer game than this.

That's very much speculation. Osama Bin Laden was a bil/millionaire. The terrorists that flew the planes into the WTC were almost all University educated, many of them in the West. The guy that blew himself up in a car in Glasgow was a doctor. Without a doubt, prosperity helps. But you only need to...

Mog The Almighty

Correct. This prosperity would remove a lot of the basis for resentment, anger, hatred in the Occupied Territories, But for this to be allowed to happen, Israel has got to be the catalyst. As I pointed out yesterday, Israel holds 99% of the power in the Israel/Occupied Territories equation. Israel ...

Great if true - Palestinians hunting down Hamas members

Certainly hope it's true.

But the fact that it sounds very much AI generated does not inspire me with confidence.

Mog The Almighty

Yeah, it's about end game and exit strategy really. I understand Israeli motivation for a ground invasion, but other than revenge, what's the strategic goal? Other than a completely unrealistic pipe dream of eliminating Hamas. There's only massive escalation and suffering on all sides as realistic ...

Question to the experts. My perception from past events is that wars do not defeat terrorism. They slow it down and disperse it, but it comes back and hit again. We've seen this with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. My understanding is that war on terrorism to be efficient has to be a mix or cover...
