Going to be in the news, perhaps.

Rescinded Peterson's invite, which he was quite excited about in his q&a last week.

He shares his thoughts, good read

@Paekakboyz any headlines that say Peterson book banned in nz after shooting will be processed by tens of millions of people.

Therefore NZ equals hobbit and book banning. Please understand how little significance nz has in the world

It's as stupid as the idea of not saying tarrants name. Fucken ridiculous, as stupid as saying the n word, which makes everyone think of the word.

Secondary issues for an incident involving one man for a duration of 30 minutes.

Half an hour of cuntery by one guy and we have to fawn about and change and censor and hide everything. Fucken infantile!

Edit, sorry Paekok, didn't aim my rant at you, I'm just sick of the nannying around this week. I swear there are moments behind closed doors where politicians and media execs Express their glee that this came along in their time in charge

The left might be fawning over NZ but I fear NZ is coming out poorly to the reasonable people of the world. Me included.

If ever a group of players try to sue the NRL for neglecting player safety there are hours of negligence on tape, imo

@SammyC similar thoughts if ( when) a debate about changing the All Blacks name?

Just a musing question mate. Culture often runs on precedents

@SammyC I see your POV, but a very small minority changing a whole community's team doesn't seem like an objective decision to me

@SammyC wouldn't the right decision be to have discussions with the whole community including muslims?

This is a members and community issue with inputs from other groups within the community as I see it

@booboo there was no ummming and ahhing for each pick. It was all robotic. No gut feelings. It didn't seem like a battle of wits with the other blokes. It felt like, "its not if you win or lose, but how you play the game"

AFL tipping hack

I ran a tipping experiment in 4 mates tipping comp. Winner gets a carton from the other 3. It won't be a startling revelation but I simply and exclusively went by the tab odds on each Thursday for every game.

Pissed it in. 3 cartons before round 21 basically. Might be more of an indictment on the 3 mates though

However, by Christ it was soul destroyingly boring and I felt dirty, but there you go.

I have a problem with firing people for watching or sharing a real world event. I don't like that sort of sheltering from an actual event.

Sure up to each individual if they wish to view reality but don't like someone stopping others from orientating myself in the real world and learning what people and nature are capable of.

Ostrich burying it's head in the sand, to reference a metaphor
