Who knew that watching rugby put you on a continuum with wifebeaters, virulent nationalists and people who don't care about Myanmar.
Sure, its a continuum. Of course, we're at this end, and that lot are at the other end...

But we do seem to be looking at "student debt" in the wrong way by focussing on the student as a "user" and sole beneficiary of a service.
I know what you're saying, but it does pay to keep in mind that the debt a student incurs is a small percentage of the full price of their education. Society(via the taxpayer) still covers something approaching 80% of the course fees. That's not including all the other expenses the student incurs of course - books, living costs, etc. But it does indicate that society does encourage, and is prepared to carry a chunk of the cost of, tertiary study.

Speaking of media beat-ups, I have it on good authority that the reports of the ABs racking up a $31,000 bar tab have been missing the one word that would help it all make sense.
The headlines should read "All Blacks run up a $31K mini-bar tab".That's right, they ran up the tab by having two stubbies of export gold, one tiny bourbon and a mars bar each.

Anyone want to play spot the dodgy reasoning?
The only reason to take illegal drugs is for the express purpose of changing one's brain state which always has the effect of decreasing one's ability to drive.
I'd like to see a few more stats relating to that 'always' there. And I have some issues with that 'deliberate intent to drive less well' bit as well.

Probably enough for a rugby team!
I think Tom's heading for the bottom of a maul at the moment.
(I was going to say receiving a rucking, but, well...) -
It don't look that hot for a Arg vs Fr final. But on the other hand, a week ago, the ABs were a dead cert.

Plus (thinking further afield) taking the show over to Argentina regularly would raise the profile of the sport in that neck of the woods, maybe the odd demo game in Uruguay etc.
