Yes, I would like to continue my longstanding and well known defense of CNN. I'm sure others might like to chime in first though before all the good defenses are taken. Health and Fitness is well known to care a lot about CNN and the consensus is that they're definitely good and not absolute ****.

Sweet! There is a long standing night time social ride, I guess kind of a much smaller and slightly less obnoxious version of Mass Effect, I think it's every week. It's a fun thing to do every now and again.

I... think this is it?

But I'm not 100% sure.

And this. Just a greater dilution of the talent pool in Australia through league/afl as they can sustain more professionals. Also they lack heart and intelligence.

Glad the nation is focused on fixing health care and de-escalating in syria instead of twitter poasts.

I'm not sure if it's well known in ameritardia, but there are actually two variants of rugby. The East island dominates in one, but kind of sucks at the other one. The one they dominate is the most well known one around the world, but for some reason us on the mainland prefer the other one (personally I prefer the one the east island is good at, but I'm in the minority ).

lolz. even USA apparently has more registered players than 'straya c*nt.

Although weirdly (?), when it comes to adult males, Australia has more than NZ... so I guess NZ has a much bigger junior pool and generally the better ones play into adulthood.

Why Julying about this?

CNN decided not to publish the name of the Reddit under out of concern for his safety. Any assertion that the network blackmailed or coerced him is false. The user, who is an adult male, is not a 15-year-old boy, apologized and deleted his account before ever speaking with our reporter. CNN didn't make any deal, of any kind with the user. In fact, CNN included its decision to withhold the user’s identity in an effort to be completely transparent that there was no deal.

Looking for H&F LC thread anyone start one this month? (I'm sorry to post in this politards thread, I got lost I guess.)

To be fair there was no real reason for CNN to admit they knew who it was.

*HOWEVER* the flip side is that if leaked out that CNN did find out and did contact him there would forever be allegations that it was indeed "blackmail" and no amount of the truth would change the mind of those who (likely) already disliked CNN.

So the better course of action was to come out forthwith acknowledging they knew and had reached out regardless of timing of the guys apology and retraction. You can call it a shakey cover and defense for the possibility of "blackmail" but that's just an excuse to want to believe the evil.

okay, to dt's point. No more from me on the subject.

Is one of the variants what we here call "Australian Rules Football"?

I thought everyone in New Zealand wanted to sail? Or at least bicycle ride on a sailboat?

Hey DT, my Scivation Xtend review in two flavors:

*Mango: "Oh wow, that is pretty tasty like mango but not overly sweetened."
*Crisp Apple: "Oh wow, that is exactly like an apple that has been vomited up and urinated on. They really nailed it. Refreshing, other than the few seconds of retching with every sip."

So, how much better financially is it to be a AFL pro than a rugby pro in Aus?

Does anyone cross over like Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, etc?

Ya, that greg post is pretty solid fanfic.

Appears that our obese mentally ill friend couldn't manage a single week of the diet contest and will no longer be focused on losing weight. I wonder if she'll have a solid undertitle for 2+ years, or if I can still lose weight having lost my raison detre.
07-06-2017 , 06:30 PM
If you don't lose weight will you be less cranky?
07-06-2017 , 07:18 PM
She's luring you in...

There are only 5 top level Super 15 rugby squads, plus a lower tier competition that might not pay a living. Whereas there are 15 NRL league squads + several lower tier comps for that, and a similar number for Aussie rules. The top salaries are probably close, but the sheer number of opportunities in other codes I guess filters talent.
