Ika, you gave away 5 more penalties than us over 3 games. Hardly the difference in the series. Well I think it was. Especially in the second test. And so did the Irish commentators and post-match analysis after the second test, for whatever that is worth. Try and consider what I'm saying on it's ow...

Now that's a strawman :lol: You're the idiot who decided to use countries as the groups for measuring variability. The US: from black to white to yellow to red. Winner. Idiot. Now post your links about East African skin colour variability. No I'm not. I used two countries whose native people are bl...

I told my travelling companion that it was not easy to differentiate as between Japanese and Chinese people. "Nonsense" he said "we can identify each other very easily". The cabin attendant reached our seats, and asked him what he would like to drink. In Japanese. :lol: :lol: :thumbup: Awkward mome...

Excellent. The possibility of him seeing him accidentally flinging the ball into the crowd like a complete tool when he does his signature showboat dive has not yet passed.

Watch out HH, Mog wants a beer with you and doesn't care whether you are willing or not.... :lol: That's not what I meant. I probably would even with HH tbh, but his constant calling me a racist because he's too dumb and uninterested to understand what I'm saying is pretty offensive. P.S. ... and I...

Nothing wrong with Poeys carrying, that's BS spouted by people who think he's one dimensional. Not only does he work very well as a link man with a great pass, he has the strength to attack in tight. He doesn't have the out and out pace to work the fringes and get huge meters gaines numbers, but su...

You can't rely on just the backs, the forwards need to have more carrying power That's the main problem. We dont have good big men. We cant dominate the collisions. We don't have the players atm. I reckon a lot of our forwards would be world class/or look decent if they played in a dominant pack. F...

I've literally never seen a league player with cauliflower ears. I barely ever watch league. Mog Bot 2.0 will become self aware soon. I've got the racist plum on ignore, so have only posted in response to others on this thread, but do you genuinely think even an iota of self awareness exists inside...

Isn't the trauma forcing your ears in between the legs of a tightly packed prop and hooker? I readily admit I've not played lock since under 15s, but that's what I assumed caused it for locks. I don't think so. I've had to pack at second row quite a few times in a pinch when I wasn't expecting to p...

Mog The Almighty

Look man cauliflower ears happen from impact injuries (head on head, head on shoulder) too. If you don't know that, you don't know dick about wrestling and probably weren't a big tackler in either code. Sigh. I never said impact wouldn't cause ear trauma. I was talking specifically about which posi...

And f-ck it, they all do look the same. Much more than New Yorkers. They all have the same skin-colour, the same uniform, the same hair colour, the same eye colour, the same hair texture and very similar haircuts. That's just a fact. Let's not pretend it's racist to notice facts. Just to remind you...

Ika you play rugby in Sweden and took up martial arts at 40+. STFU. Well, I played in three different countries and play(ed) at the top level possible in Sweden. Not that I was every very good. But just for the record. As for starting BJJ at 39 ... it's better than not starting it at all. But it's ...

Mog The Almighty

I've played both second row and back row to a pretty high level (as well as league) and my ears are pretty cauli'd. And by far the worst my ears got were due to scrummaging in the second row. This is hardly a strange opinion. Tight five players, (locks especially), generally have worse ears than lo...

Mog The Almighty

I don't think you're understanding and I can't be bothered spelling it out again.

If you've been trolling me this whole time, kudos, you got me.

Mog The Almighty

though it still overemphasises hair and eye colour It doesn't "over-emphasise" hair and eyes. It relies totally on them . Differences in hair and eye colour and hair texture. More variance in those things is exactly the reason Caucasians have greater net-variance than some group that doesn't have v...

How do you go explaining the differences in appearance between various 'Asian' nationalities, Mog? I mean, Thai's look different to Koreans, say... and Japanese look different to both. Cambodians, while still part of the overall Khmer grouping look different to Thais and Vietnamese... but Asian. Yo...

How does anyone know that he is wrong? What are these generalised impersonal facts that he doesn't know? In other words, to restate my question, which groups exhibit the greatest variation? Mog claims it's an objective fact that caucasians are more diverse in facial features than non-caucasians. (l...

Actually did a serious Google, and it appears the jury is still our on this point. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004724841400178X A admitedly limited study, but seems to suggest that there hasn't been a serious study of soft tissue features to compare like there has with crania...

Zakar cited the "cross-race effect". That sounds pretty damned sciency to me. [edit] Or, you know ^ that. The cross race effect describes inter-group recognition not appearance variability within groups. Inter-group recognition will influence an individual's ability to distinguish intra-group diffe...

Mog The Almighty

I know what you're getting at. But if Australia's discipline was better, we may have enjoyed far more possession and territory %, and Ireland may not have even had to the ball so close the try line in the first place. We can "what if" all day. But posting emoticons and declaring that I'm a clueless...

You think that Japanese people, for example, show a greater variety in hair colour than Caucasians? Really? [snigger] Yeah yeah mate. You figured out the clear and undeniable logic of what I was saying so decided to "even the tables" with a baseless claim that Asians have even more variety in their...

No, you're not getting what I'm saying. I'm saying to any objective observer, for example, a computer algorithm. But let's not get bogged down in that. No, let's get bogged down in that.

Mog The Almighty

I'll try and explain by way of asking a question and maybe we'll get somewhere: "Totally Ignoring hair and eye colour, do you think that non-Caucasian people (as you put it) have the same amount of difference/variety in their facial features as Caucasian people?" Yes! Great, so do I. Next question:...

Mog The Almighty

The very phrase 'look more similar' is subjective. It really is not. There we have it, everyone. :uhoh: Pointless discussion when this is a cornerstone of Ika's argument. You purposefully cut my already-short-post in order to take me out of context to try and add weight to the point. As with the st...

Mog everybody gets where you're coming from, nobody misunderstands you. You think non-caucasian people resemble each other more than caucasian people do because you focus exclusively on hair colour and eye colour, and have done so through the entire discussion on two threads.

See a difference? FFS of course I see a difference.
