There's a bit of a problem with answering a question with another question; I could reply with - for example - another question again, such as asking you in turn if there's any danger of Australia becoming a purely Islamic nation? But that strikes me as not being a part of improving the...

See, here's my issue. I've done a little digging into this particular line of thought; the Wikipedia article on Islam in the UK has the following link credited with the statistic for a forward projection of a population of 13 million by 2050. That article - from the Daily Telegraph - has the...

I think you're underselling Cotts a bit -as he's been much more productive this year - but otherwise I agree. Walsh kicks one here and there but it's a bob up rather than consistently; Cerra is similar, and so is Hewitt. We have no mid/half forwards on the list who can kick a goal a game and...

... I made a comment so obvious as to be redundant, and you reacted by having a full blown hissy fit. Take a breath. Calm down. ... because that is how you're coming across. This is is deeply ironic. You've gone completely off the deep end to a fairly innocuous comment concerning religious...

Because I'm not required to tapdance because you've invited me to; I am not compelled to play defense because you're determined to attack. If you have an issue with moderation, take it to PM. I've not made a personal attack on you here, Saab NLAW. I've told you how you're coming across...

If your - the universal your, not you barreness specifically - observation of a country's births/death rate posits that there is demographic change occurring - as in, statistically, your country is getting older - and this has an effect on the ways people behave in that country - as it will with...

I watched/listened to this yesterday: And it provides a pretty reasonable explanation for why people keep turning to Tate or Brand, listening to grifters explain away their dissatisfaction with late stage capitalism with their particular brand of right wing nonsense. It's a phantasm. It's...

See, I'm not sure that's true. Indicate in a specific area you're going to rezone it; you cannot operate a legal business on it, nor can you live there. Provide those currently operating there a flat rate to expedite their leaving - at a reasonable not exorbitant price - and after there's...

I'm sorry, but I still don't see it. It's entirely to do with China needing to move soon to be certain of numerical supremecy, which - from reports of how their leaders think - is what they need to ensure victory or see America off. I'd be fine with you going further into it - justifying your...

... sorry, what? When I've seen this argument made, it's by theorists discussing the likelihood of China's military population continuing to grow, not population replacement. In general, they cite the failure of the One Child policy creating a situation in which there are less children, coupled...

It's a fair point. Just, it's one of those statistics things: a player who is capable of playing 70% game time is freeing up others to sit on the bench. It's why Cotts is such a huge out; forget everything he does with ball in hand or defensively, he's routinely sitting at 90%+ game time and -...

The problem is the opportunity cost of playing someone for 40% game time. It's twofold: first, you have the fact that for every minute Moir (or whoever you choose that can only play for 40% game time) sits on the bench is a minute that the mids, defenders, rucks and forwards don't take a rest...

... at Marvel or the G, in front of 90 odd thousand. I don't disagree with the point raised. What I take issue with is that of that list, only Saad and Cots can say they've been consistently available. Doc has spent an awful lot of time off the park - :( - and so has Cerra, Jack, Martin, Fogs...

We'd kill for your continuity of players, though.

The problem is, he's not only a small but he's very small for AFL footy. Size is a flaw that can only be compensated for by exceptional skills, strength, speed, agility. I'd have said he was fast before this year, but to date he's been outpaced not only by Blakey - who is legit fast in a...

I feel like we don't get the tradeoff for being slow around the ball. For every turning point - endurance vs burst, speed vs power, etc - you have an acceptable trade off; we are slow around the ball so from necessity we have to be getting something for it. Do we get increased ball winning...

Well, that symbolises the night pretty well: ******* up a series of disposals around their back half, McLean kicks the ball to the square and it goes over the top and bounces straight through the middle.

Been a concern all year. We were the stingiest team in it in the second half of the year last year; now, we're generous as heck.

... we were out. You're metres clear, running through the genuine corridor. You've time and one on ones inside 50. How in utter heck does that ball end up with Rampe?

Not our night.

... explain to me, Orazio. Player in front of you gathers the ball. He's flat footed, so are you. He shapes right; you shape right. How in utter heck did you manage to be off your feet without laying a tackle while he jogged lightly away from that situation?

... I mean, he got the ball. He just got the ******* ball. He got there first. Contact below the knees?

Bloke has the back of Pitto's jumper, but it's fine.

Hmm... This is similar to the prelim last year. They're not giving us a look at it. Jeez, we're even making Grundy look fast.

He kept moving after you called stand, but it's fine I'm sure.

A number of things have gone their way. During their run we kicked inside forward 50 to have their KPD punch the ball 15-20m into the corridor chaotically... straight onto the chest of a Sydney mid. Papley smokes a ******* goal while being tackled while running at right angles towards the...

Okay. We need to do something to free up Walsh; what that means is we need to give up 5 free kicks (if that's what it takes) to belt his tagger off him and give Sam some separation. We need to start getting the ball into some users hands, and we need the smalls to get to work tackling. Our...

Impromptu of nothing, I'm just going to leave this here: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/carlton-board-rules-posting-quality-policy.313052/ ... alongside a reminder to be kind to each other. We each ride the highs and lows together; if another Blue is low, you telling me you aren't...

... this is exceedingly dumb. An opinion - which is all I've provided - cannot be wrong, because it is subjective. It can be improbable; it can be fallacious; it can be riddled in errors of fact or mistakes, but it cannot be wrong. Again: I don't disagree with you about Islam's desire to...

I might also suggest that the thread for the Hamas conflict with Israel is this way: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/israel-declare-war-after-hamas-attack-ii.1375734/page-401#post-83569485 Posting about this might fall under the purview of this thread, but let's not allow the thread to...
