Rumours and Stuff

[Happy MEel]

Given that the argument was the body type of the average indigenous athlete, what does the obesity of the wider population have to do with that?

Because their current nutritional circumstances have changed dramatically which has affected the traditional body type that you're referring to. They do less hunting and fishing and the foods that they’re exposed to are high in calories, fat and carbohydrates. As a result, there’s a high rate of obesity and the traditional body type that you're referring to is becoming less common.

Surely they are far less likely to factor in the obesity statistics, therefore nullifying the point?

Incorrect. Rightly or wrongly many NRL forwards would factor in obesity statistics purely because of their body mass, which was my original point...that the size of Indigenous Australians doesnt preclude them from making it as NRL forwards. The players I rattled off last night supports my argument.

Lets just accept is was a poorly thought out piece of evidence.

And also accept that hookers are just failed halves....

Let's not.

We have all been conditioned/brainwashed to think the whiteman way of living is right.
Half the shit we have we do not even need - Its just their to keep us amused so we do not think outside of the box and upset the system and discover the truth of our existence.

That is a sad story and it's been a couple of weeks now so it is becoming quite concerning.

Hope all ends well.

Obesity is not a body type! I'm not sure there's much point continuing a discussion based on genetic body types if you can't understand that. And anyway I'm not procrastinating today, I'm f**king swamped!

Obesity is the effects of what you do to your body, not the way its genetically designed...

Also I would have assumed you would have picked up the tongue in cheek regarding hookers...

Yeah very worrying, hope the Chad turns up safe and sound.

Mate, I'm well aware obesity isn't a body type as I work in population health. I'm not even arguing that historically Indigenous Australians have had a predisposition to a leaner body type because they have. What I am saying is that this body shape is becoming less prominent due to environmental factors, which is having an impact on their overall body size and allowing them to be effective forwards.

You might be happier living in Africa, China, India or the middle east then?.
LOL I can promise you they arnt coming here because of conditioning, they are moving to 'whiteman countries' because of the reality that the places they are moving too are much better places to live, its a fact not brainwashing lol

What about all the whiteman people (e.g. Polish) flocking to live in countries with heaps more coloured people (the UK)? And the WA wicketkeeper leaving the state to play in Shield matches? What have you got to say about that?

Jeez. Missing a hindy111 point. Is that new low for the forums?

He could be Australia's long term keeper as well down the track.

Hooker must have good ball handling and quick hands. Not afraid to dive between the legs.

You get me Bazal....... Two thumbs up

Hutchinson out for season torn ACL. Poor guy, may of been a break out season. Dragons will sign someone now and I feel it could be Ben Hunt

Agreed. Fingers crossed.

Barry since when did anybody take the Poles seriously or include them in any official count?
You might as well start making comparisons with the Ukraine or Russia, we all know these people have drank too much vodka for generations and its effected their thinking.

Yeah very worrying, hope the Chad turns up safe and sound.

It's been so long now that I only see three possibilities.

1. He's driving across Australia somewhere sans mobile and wallet, with someone who is happily footing the bill for petrol, food, accomodation etc as needed.

2. He's hidden his car in someone's garage and is staying there sans mobile and wallet, while they happily foot the bill for his food and expenses (and ignore pleas from his friends, family and police to make contact)

3. Or...

Might be a good thing in the long run for Hutchison. He is absolutely not a halfback. Maybe some time away will make him realise he's a back-rower and give him a chance to work on his game when he can

Way more options than that. Could have a credit card/wad of cash no one knew about, could have left the country with same, could have a mate on a farm in bumf**k nowhere (looking at you, Nathan Hindmarsh).....could be absolutely anything

Who knows, let's just hope he turns up safe and sound. He has two young kids.
