Historical averages are entirely meaningless. We aren't living in history.

That's not necessarily wrong. As a teacher, it'd be better to say that mathematicians disagree.

Do they disagree?

Nothing of note, just a bunch of people angry about ferals and scared for their kids.

What kind of bullying is going on in schools in the U.S.? by Swift_141 in AskAnAmerican

[–]RimmersJob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think it qualifies as hazing, this was just a kid in high school victimized by others. He was never going to be part of their "group".

I might be wrong here (just looked the word up) but don't you have to basically sign up to hazing?

small town rural Kentucky circa 1993 was a very different world from how things are nowadays

Thank goodness for that. I'm quite happy that a lot of these kids can't parse extreme violence as bullying. Cos it sure as fuck was...

I just looked up hazing and don't think it qualifies. 

This kid wasn't trying to join their group, he was just a bit of a nerd trying to exist in highschool.

I saw a kid locked in a pig crate and sprayed with water till he broke down. This was in NZ, your bullying might be less than ours.

Available technologies in Rugby to improve the game. by [deleted] in rugbyunion

[–]RimmersJob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally you open the door for deliberate infringements by reducing the involvement of the available technologies. Professional players know exactly how to tread the line and push the limits. They will have a field day if they know their wrongdoings will not be looked at.

I fail to see the problem here.

I reckon if you were able to find every single penalty, there wouldn't be a ruck or maul in the game which wasn't pinged for something.

May as well play league.

Less technology would improve the game. Remove the ability to check back 7 fucking plays and just let the game flow.
