You keep saying rugby and then referring to rugby union.

I clearly stated rugby union is different to rugby league.

You dont know the difference. Its massive.

I did not bring up boxing as i know nothing of it, nor UFC, i assumed they went for the same time. So yes i was wrong there.

You have failed to address the two sports i have mentioned. Rugby League, and Australian Rules Football.

Talking of athletes who crossover sports is irrelevant. Most dont make it.

Jarrad Hayne was one of Aus best rugby LEAGUE players and is trying out for NFL in one year. Most dont believe he will make it.

Aus has had a few retired pros become punters and be successful in NFL including playing in superbowls.

But it really is comparing apples to oranges in regards to crossovers.

And dont forget. We dont wear armour. And we still run just as fast and hit just as hard.

Money is related to commercial aspects of a sport. You cant compare different sports because they all have different markets and different amounts of money available. Just because NFL has a higher value market than other sports and the players are paid more, does not mean an NFL player is more athletic than another sports athlete.

Aerobic conditioning is a much better guide than anerobic.

NFL is stop/start. Other sports are continuous.

Did the roman gladiators have a rest break every minute?

Also, i assume you are referring to rugby union? A game played by overweight men?

I would like to see the stats for rugby league and australian football, which your link did not list. Both games are much more brutal than union or cricket.

If playing without armour means the game should be banned, then it should be banned. Danger has nothing to do with toughness. Endurance of aerobic pain is a measure of a real athlete.

Soccer players (when not whincing for penalties) are tough.

The best measurement of how tough someone is, pull up the shirt and bare your abdomen. If you have a belly, you aint tough.

And boxing is not as tough as UFC. Yes, because of the difference in armour.

Play without armour like real men and this game might be enjoyable.

Stating they play with "Armour" is ignorant. A helmet and plastic shoulder pads are hardly "armour"

Cricket players wear nearly as much gear as American footballers.

And I can assure you, these are "real men" as well as some world-class athletes playing the game, thus the high salaries.

BTW, the NFL randomly tests for Steroids as well as illegal drugs. A first offense is a 4 game suspension, without pay, which in some cases is more than a Rugby player makes in an entire season.

Subsequent violations result in longer suspensions and outright, lifetime bans.

As I had mentioned, American Football was nearly banned at one time due to the numerous on-field deaths caused by the violent nature of the game.

I suppose those weren't "real men", eh?

It should be 2 years!

Why do americans feel they are above WADA code?

Theyre only "tough" because they run for 8 seconds every 5 minutes so can weigh as much as a truck.

Real athletes dont have a belly as big as a house, or need any armour, or take banned substances.

Id take an NBA player over NFL as a true athlete on any given sunday.

And pay scale has nothing to do with athleticism.

Alcohol and cigarettes cause the most harm. They may not fill emergency wards but hospitals and courts are full of effected users.

Caffeine just turns people into annoying <deleted>.

Whats legal or illegal is irrelevant to causing harm.

Ever tried sodium pethanol, morphine or oxycontin? All legal and much more dangerous than MDMA or cannabis, which are illegal.

Anyone that uses the law as a safety guide has no idea what they are talking about.

So too much caffeine is your problem?

How is this not a troll?

Maybe too much murder is your problem?

note to TAT: legalize weed and you will draw legions of tourists to Thailand...and if you're smart put some tax on it-win win...can you imagine how much they will spent on food...

So much this.

I wont hold my breath though.

Play without armour like real men and this game might be enjoyable.

A minor step in the right direction.

But how will this appeal to the bloodthirsty?

Read the terms and conditions.

They can legally watch us through our cameras and listen to our microphones. Even when we are not using our phones.

Do you really think they keep that information to themselves?

Or is it sold/given to third parties?

Wont be long now.

The infrastructure is in place.

Total government surveillance is genius.

Dont need to install the hardware around the world in buildings as we willingly carry it in our pockets and sign up for it.

Delete facebook.

Problem solved.

Its not mandatory.

One day it will be! haha

I deleted Facebook. Too many arguments with the missus for posting "villager"pics which embarrassed her.

I caved in and joined up only to establish my relationship as "real" to the immigration department.

My account lasted 2 months before i deleted it out of disgust.

Never again.

Delete facebook.

Problem solved.

Its not mandatory.

I would advocate zero tolerance too, if we start with outlawing alcohol, nicotine and caffeine.

See how we go from there.

This scum KNOW the risks attached for the big money of their chosen trade. In fact the people they "deal" with there is also a risk of being taken out by them.

Folk should stop whining about the demise of these shits. Am sure if these shits got your kids hooked on drugs YOU would want to waste them.

Mules do not "hook kids on drugs".

Rolox, they are part of the chain...................They know what they are doing for cash...........

So why does the chain even exist?

Because of the users.

Heal the users and there is no need for the chain.

Remove the product and the users simply find alternatives.

And around and around we go.

Killing mules stops nothing. Absolutely nothing.

All it does is satisfy the bloodthirsty fools.

Users exist because of those getting them hooked. Big money for suppliers and mules........This shit peddle to school kids to keep the cash flow going. Low life coming out the woodwork NOT to work, just prey on anyone who is gulable..............If you can't see that then I feel sorry for you.

Heal the users!!! Yeah Bro on your dime. Invite em all over....sit in a circle. Perhaps have a speaking feather.....Lets heal all of them...but it the meantime hide all your valubles and triple lock your doors. ....

There are many treatments available and not all are expensive but they are certainly suppressed.

Without the consumption side of the chain going, there will be no need for manufacture and distribution.

Too many vested interests in power for any healing to occur.

This scum KNOW the risks attached for the big money of their chosen trade. In fact the people they "deal" with there is also a risk of being taken out by them.

Not really fair when that Corbin chick got off...she should have lost her head as well!

For weed?

Lame troll.

Good riddance.

And if it was your son? (Though I doubt you have children) Remember something about those without sin and casting the first stone! No one forces these people to take drugs, they do it in most cases on their own, shooting the guy is hardly the answer. You will probably be whining on the other forum about the guy that shot the Soi Dog!

But if it was your son that died of a drug overdose thanks to these greedy smugglers, maybe you would be singing from a different song sheet? Good riddence.

Or maybe it would be the users fault for not dosing correctly.

People need to realise that dealers and mules are not responsible for what users do with their own bodies.

If people stopped taking the easy way out and blaming scapegoats, and advocated personal responsibility, the world would be a much better place.

If you die with a needle in your arm, its your fault! Not the middle mans!

Do people still even meet the old fashioned way?

Ive been online dating for 15 years.

If you cant find genuine people online there is something wrong with your judgement.

Met my future wife on thaicupid before even coming to thailand. Spoke on skype for several hours a day. Not a bar girl.

I could have lined 10 of them up but i found a keeper.

Funny how none of my other points have been addressed.

Take the throwaway comment of "victimless crime" and only address that and ignore every other point i have made.

Predictable and boring.

Its people that oppose decriminalisation that are the true cause of crime. Those who have the most to lose from it. Cops, lawyers, prisons, politicians, conservatives, religious nutjobs, manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, etc.

Those with the most to lose from decriminalisation are the ones who oppose it. And are ultimately the ones who should be held responsible for a "junkie" breaking into your home.

If it wasn't illegal and we could freely obtain what we desired, there would be less crime.

Its the policymakers who have blood on their hands and keep society from being truly free.

The mules are just an easy patsy that you can point your finger at and say "thats the bad guy".

What does any of that have to do with the actual trafficking?

A trafficker is not responsible for a drug abuser stealing to get their fix.

That is on the abuser, the government that allows criminals to set the price, the supplier, manufacturer, etc.

The mule is the least responsible.

Do you blame the packages that get sent by post on the stamps??

As long as we still have our compassion for human life there will be bleating.

No crime is worth a human life.

Especially a victimless crime like trafficking.

Drug abuse has never been a legal issue. That idea is just brainwashed into people. It is a health issue.

You will never reduce drug abuse by punishing the profiteers. Better to become the profiteers and use the profit to reduce the health effects.

I would put religion as a more dangerous pass time than heroin use.

Victimless crime like trafficking ?

Priceless

Unbelievable. They just keep lining up, don't they.

No wonder society needs so many police.

Brainwashed.

Its not a legal issue.

Join us in the 21st century, would you?

I arrived long before you did. Switch on and look past your own selfish desires.

Who are the victims?

Dont say the end users because they are responsible for themselves. They need help, but if people didnt demand the stuff then there would be no need to supply it.

You see that's just one of the problems about commenting about something you don't understand.

Do you understand that there are 'mule victims' that are signed up and the authorities tipped off, so as to draw attention away from the real import. And it happens.

Then there's the end user and all sorts of victims they fall by the wayside throughout the sourcing of products, production, distribution and finally the supply. There also victims that suffer at the hands of drug phukked idiots day in, day out. Then there's the entire health care system that suffers as a result of the drug related issues, road users.

I understand enough.

Ive used and dealt narcotics for over half of my life.

Nothing would be more beneficial to society than to make these drugs a health issue.

But too much Law Society funding would be given to the people who do know how to reduce the drug problem, the medical fraternity.

And we all know that "cant/wont" happen.

Did we ever meet in the real world ? [emoji41]

So you would know the answer to the "drug problem" is not a legal one.

Yet you say we need more police??

Unbelievable.

I never said that.
