I love reading you guys on commercial aviation. Most of you are absolutely clueless as to how the industry works. Not sure who you are referring to, but I am literally taking that from the FAA report. Outsourcing is not an issue. QC and oversight is the issue there. Both Airbus and Boeing outsource...

While the diversity hires may or may not be an issue, the bigger problem from the report into the company was that they were bought out in the 1990s and outsourced their manufacturing to a multitude of companies. So you have one company making one part of the plane, another making another and so for...

I mean he's not wrong. Kane's efforts against the "bigger" teams is not great.

Of course you can argue a test is a test and a run is a run, but once again he was found wanting about a top tier attack. Ignoring the run out he got 9,17, and 51. All below his career average.

Ah yes, the internet dictionary. The world authority on what racism is.

Meanwhile in the real world, it absolutely is possible to be racist against a race of people.

Was what she said racist? Yes. Is it worthy of anything other than a telling off? No.

I'll give Jeff a pass because he probably wanted some respite from writing that ratings thread.

But it's embarrassing for any three-digit IQ adults to be discussing something like this.

Jokes on you. I have a three digit IQ.

IMO it's pretty obvious what happened.

Kate snapped. She went on a slasher spree and was stopped by a guard and took a wound to the gut.

It's obviously racist, anyone claiming otherwise is an imbecile. Of course you can be racist against white people. Jesus Christ people are thick.

Now does it deserve anything more than a slap on the wrist? Probably not. This is the UK though where the thought police are in full control.

No doubt Smith is the best in the world but it's a valid point he doesn't have to face his attack. Australia is the best team in the world because of their attack. It's varied and lethal. It's up there currently with the great attacks really. Meanwhile NZ bowls four right arm seamers, most of whom a...

Live video stream of the cockpit should be brought in. Pilots will bang on about privacy but you're not in bed, you're at work with the lives of hundreds in your hands.

NZR were morons destroying the NPC. It was tribal. It was the NRL of NZ.

What the heck is going on back home? First newshub and now TVNZ gutted? Quite concerning. I think at this point the govt may need to step in, NZ needs functional media and reporting.

This thread of mainly Australians discussing racism.... :lol: Superb stuff. They know “something something” modern values is happening out there in the rest of the world but can’t quite grasp what. Some of us of course shake out heads at such notions and hearken back to simpler days when things see...

Seems to be a weird NZ thing. I have never seen that anywhere else in the world.

So just to clarify they strap foghorns to their bikes and blast them?

True Blue

I wouldn't because it's not the same and people should stop pretending that it is. As if the poor oppressed whities have been suffering centuries of oppression, murder, slavery and overt discrimination. It's not the f-cking same thing. That stupid white policeman should pull his fat white head out ...

Blowing your nose in public makes you a "racist" these days. Everyone's a "racist". It's a complete moral panic. Allegedly she called the cop a "stupid white bastard". Assuming that's true, how much of a f-cking softcock does this police officer need to be to make a big deal about that? As if "reve...

Isn't the womans Hurricanes a shit team that keeps coming last every year?

I'd suggest they focus more on their play and less on alienating fans and sponsors. (and other players who may feel pressured into it)

Apart from 07, which cups were we dominant going into? Definitely not last year or 2019, England were dominant 2003, we lost by a record score heading into 99, 95 we did well at the tournament but had lost the series to France the previous year The tournament itself is changing now that there is co...

I mean it's not rocket science. The AB's play generally an open fast paced game to blow teams off the park, which works well most of the time. However in RWC games were refs become more pedantic and teams more conservative this tactic doesn't work as well. Still won three of the things though, so de...

"9-0" As it should be. Like the Orangeman or not, lawfare should not be waged to prevent fair elections from occurring. A dangerous precedent which paves the way for future autocracy. The public should be trusted to solve such questions at the ballot box and I find it unseemly for lawyers to divine...

I'm assuming Jordie will be suspended for this. That was a pretty poor tackle.

Australia will get around 300, we will get skittled for about 95. Due to weather they will enforce the follow on and skittle us for 94. Australia to win by an innings and 110 runs.

Rapey will be the top scorer in both innings, scoring 69 in both.

super Rugby has become a joke, it really has. I blame Australia mostly. They have run their rugby over there so poorly and have pretty much given up all the ground they gained in the 90s and 00s. In fact, they've gone backwards. So now tiny NZ is left alone trying to prop up super rugby by itself a...

Stumbled across this in my youtube travels. Kid is disqualified for the most inane thing you can think of. Props to his team mate who sticks up for him.

I used to get salty but then if you think about it these are young men with maybe 15 years of earnings. It makes sense for them to try and get the most they can for their short career.

Can't speak for all of Australia, but Queensland is racist as fudge to asians. We were only there for ten days and my wife was abused on three separate occasions.

Not one incident in 20 years in Auckland, nor 5 years here in Austin.
