    Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? - Part 2

    Someone's too young to remember Fitzroy, then. A piece of the people I knew died. It's no small thing, losing your team.

    Unpopular Cricket Opinions

    EFA. Bowling and fielding, we can do. We have a real shortage of quality in the shield producing runs who can go up to the next level.

    Duke or Kookaburra

    I've been told this by other people so I could be wrong, but whenever they bring the Dukes to Australia the ball loses its lacquer very, very quickly. Our pitches are harder on the leather and the ball softens too quickly, where the kookaburra holds its hardness even if it doesn't its shine.

    Take care. It's a stressful time of year, and it has really been one prick of a year.

    Society/Culture Why I blame Islam for the fact it's raining today.... part 2

    Implying that women lie about rape as well? You're on a roll here! Lol. You didn't supply the substance of the discussion. Objecting to it after failing to do so is kind of like skewering yourself in the foot trying to sheathe your sword; you did this to yourself. ... which is not necessarily...

    Society/Culture Why I blame Islam for the fact it's raining today.... part 2

    I've been slowly updating the post with more information as I get it, have another look. There's also the reality that Ardavan Khoshnood is a doctor of medicine, not criminology. I don't know what he's doing publishing an awful lot of works related to criminology, and this particular study has...

    Not my area, I'm afraid. We make the calls if we think we need to as mandatory reporters, but where that goes is accomplished by other people.

    Society/Culture Why I blame Islam for the fact it's raining today.... part 2

    10571z, this is the article you pinched that headline from: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/01/18/nearly-two-thirds-convicted-rapists-sweden-migrants/ From that same article: Specifically, this study uses only convictions for rape against women when making this claim. This ignores...

    Society/Culture Why I blame Islam for the fact it's raining today.... part 2

    We have a trans boy whose parents don't accept the situation. We work around it as best we can: we call him by his name - or we would if he'd stop changing it - and we ensure that to the best of our ability we treat him as a boy at school. If students tease him about it - and they do - we pull...

    Society/Culture Why I blame Islam for the fact it's raining today.... part 2

    When I was around 14-15, as part of my school's RE program, we were given exposure to other religions. We went to a Buddhist temple; we had a Passover banquet; and we went to the closest Islamic private school, where we were given a tour of the facilities and presented to by students and...

    Ashes - the most overrated sporting contest?

    I think this series has been a cripple fight. At no point have we gotten our first XI onto the park, and they only got theirs out there in the first test. But you play with the players you have available. Being irritated or despairing or trying to make it out like the sky is falling is a...

    Ashes - the most overrated sporting contest?

    ... that's what you've actively asked for with both the thread title and the OP. Never mind. Be the beautiful snowflake you want to be.

    Ashes - the most overrated sporting contest?

    We lost a game of cricket, and you're calling for a reassessment of the biggest series in cricket's history's importance. It's an overreaction at the very least.
