I love how libertarians just plug in their boilerplate response to every argument, to save the bother of knowing what they're talking about ;-)
It's a "one screwup fits all" kind of theory.

On a contrary note - Graham Henry's decision to keep Wyatt Crockett, Colin Slade and Tom Donnelly watching in the stands is seriously fan-unfriendly. Why can't they be playing Ranfurly Sheild rugby?
Aye. While I'm glad we avoided the war that the English Rugby Union has to go through to get its players off clubs, I'd like us to avoid provinces not having players because they're needed to warm seats in the All Black stands. The guys aren't in the team, or the reserves, send them to Christchurch to play in the game. If you get a late injury, you can always get them back.

I'd like to see some of the short films that NZers seem to be so good at producing. I wish the cinemas that I go to would be better at putting a four or five minute short on as pre-movie entertainment as they used to do when I was a kid.
I guess there are commercial reasons for not doing that.

My view is that the students assocs are part of the universities in a real sense. So I don't see why the govt is involved at all: it seems obvious to me that the universities should be completely free in this regard. And if they choose to administer a certain part of their university by calling it the "student's association" they should be free to.
I should point out that student associations would fight to the death to not be part of universities in a real sense.
They might be part of the university in a wider sense, in the same way that a alumni association is, but they're entirely independent organisations and saying that they're part of the university is patently false.

True, although that argument can be made for every (professional) sport ever, I think.
I was going to post: "It's always seemed (relatively) worse to me with basketballers, though I base this on nothing other than impressions of what I've seen in the media."
And then thoughts of representation and impressions of race got into my head and made me pause.

NBA basketballers and their treatment of women doesn't have a particularly good reputation. And there was that brawl a couple of years ago between some players and fans.

If you quantify risk, advanced paternal age carries much greater risk to the general population than advanced maternal age because of x-linked recessive diseases.
Despite much of the thread getting silly, I wasn't aware of this, so thanks for the info.
Russell, I really don't like holding other people's babies at all, and I'm *pregnant*. (I might break the little homeslice!)
:) This might be old news, but congrats Danielle.

Who owns Keith Ng now?
I'm concerned that this man goes by the name Whaleoil and uses a gravatar of a dolphin.

Honestly Brickley, do you do any other flavour than withering?
That's all natural basic ingredients, home made withering. None of that nasty store bought withering I'll have you know.

(BTW, I was too busy laughing to be offended at being accused of unprincipled populism by someone whose major contribution to on-line political discourse was photoshopping Helen Clark's head onto she-male porn.)
Once a slimey little arsewipe, always etc.
I hope you purged yourself with something strong after having words with both Clint and Redbaiter within a 24 hour period Craig.
