1. Folau is a twat.
2. Even now, there are still way too many who think being LGBTQ is a lifestyle. For some, coming out is fine. For others, it's violence and ostracism, some have been killed over it. It can often depend where you live, the beliefs of family/friends etc. Religious fuckwits have caused immeasurable harm to LGBTQ people. Words matter. They fester in hearts and minds, and sometimes provoke action.

It's fine for those who are utterly unaffected to say oh he's just being a piston wristed gibbon, ignore, but it's a bit different when you are in the LGBTQ community and get the slurs and discrimination etc from religious fuckfaces on a regular basis.

I wish they would both fuck off.

@Kirwan said in Aaron Smith naughty boy?:

Watching the cringeworthy statement from Smith where he was quite upset (seriously, why did they make him do that?), it reminded me of another world class player that decided to leave NZ because it was too much of a fishbowl: Carl Hayman.

I hope we haven't chased away the best halfback we've had since Bachop because of some click hungry hacks and a couple of perverts who decided to record this incident.

That tearful apology was just awful. For him, for the AB's, for his friends and family. This is so out of control. The only people he owed an apology to was his girlfriend and the NZRU for being a douchebag when on duty. Everyone else can fuck off. Jesus, the lynch mob have got their pound of flesh for this, it makes me want to punch the recording couple in the face for being the catalyst that inflicted this bullshit on the country.

What a game, eh.
While there was little appreciation for my nerves, that was vintage Bledisloe, and I'm glad we got up in the end to honour the mighty Tree.
Shocking start by the ABs, Wallabies were crisp in passing, tight on defence, and pounced on mistakes. Genia clearly took a sip from the fountain of youth, great game.
Ioane fantastic, gees he is quick, always making metres. Our scrum was also mighty tonight. DMac, well he is brave, and he makes some good sniping runs, but bloody hell he needs to sort out his passing. Sometimes it is downright awful. I'm nervous about these continual head knocks for Crotty and Cane. Not good. SBW had a game to forget. ALB much better from last week.
Cheika is a dick. Dude, you lost because your kicker couldn't kick for shit. And I wouldn't be shitting on the refs, because your team got several favours out there in terms of 50/50 disallowed tries, and another than could have easily got one of your men a yellow.

I don't ever want to see Warren Gatland anywhere near the All Black head coach job.

@NTA said in Re: Movie review thread...:

Let's see:

1. White
2. Into porn
3. Loves getting hold of a pair of tits

Yep. @Mokey is a bloody misogynist.

You forgot loves rugby, you fucking PUSSY.

Does Gatland ever consider that the reason he gets criticised is because he is such a whiny little bitch? His bleating is almost Woodward-esque.

@jegga What happened to Grace was absolutely dreadful and I'm heartbroken for her family and friends, but the public grief overload and vigils, articles, Prime Ministerial apology on behalf of the nation for one tourist are absolutely OTT.

If the PM wants to sob about something, how about our appalling domestic violence or suicide rates.

@taniwharugby
And isn't it Morganic. Don't you think. A little tooooo Morganic. Yeah I really do think.
It's a little fame pre-election day.
A free ride because of Turei's mistakes.
It's no good advice, just renters and cats
Who would have thought...poll single figures.

@jegga You have inflicted this knowledge on me without consent, so fuck you. I mean what kind of monster tags others with Jay Jay Feeney articles???

@Godder Muller should have dumped him after the bizarre homeless guy in Crowne Plaza farce.

What a few weeks this has been for National. No wonder JA can keep smiling.

Local MPs will probably still get their seats, but it's hard to see people giving their party vote to National. ACT could benefit. Or NZF. Which means that bloody phoenix will rise again.

Yikes. It is really not a good look for Kaye and Adams to be going. Nats didn't need this on top of everything else. (Kayes statement is laughable.)

Chloe Swarbrick is contesting Kayes seat for the Greens. Hmmmm.

@dogmeat Thatcher won the leadership battle in 1975. Great to see such progress in 45 years.

I kind of hate that there is so much discussion about Judith's fucking smile. Is she smart? Is she competent? Does she have a track record of getting shit done? How do her constituents feel about her representation in their area?

Don't recall anyone fapping on about Muller's smile. Or boy wonder Luxon, whoever he is.

I do think Collins is a fairly good choice. Tough, which she is going to need most trying to wrangle the factions of the fractured Nats together. Soimon supporters, Muller supporters, those who don't like her, those who want a fresh face...gonna be a bit of a nightmare. All while being Judith rather than Crusher. Good luck to her. Too bad she won't be able to offer baby or wedding pics.

@taniwharugby It would be a massive mistake. Public don't like him at all. Muller got that boost at the start because he wasn't Bridges.

@canefan Well no one is going to out-kind Jacinda, so why not.

@canefan They might convince Kaye to take them through to the election, hard to see anyone else wanting this toxic waste dump though.

@Crucial Giving that info to anyone was a big error let alone a loose cannon rookie and a dude who was already in the doghouse for the fake homeless guy story. Not sure Muller actually had control, he was exposed quite badly with dithering and changing stories and MPs saying 'well actually...'
