Yeah, this is BS. I went to the guys website, downloaded his book and read as much as I could in one day. He devotes a great deal of chapters to when it is appropriate to use force. There is nothing I could see in what he teaches that encourages vigilante-like behavior. I personally think that the British government is just afraid of its own citizens.

Subjects, Vuk, subjects.

They're subject to the crown's authority.

You used the words "crown" and "authority" in the same sentence.

I used to call bull on the whole Rugby=more stamina thing

Until I switched from American football to Rugby in college and promptly died at the first practice

In 4 years I have gone from 252-213 pounds

Rugby=more stamina

Here - have +1 man points for admitting that.

I didn't know you guys reallydig Rugby over there though - I always figured it would get muscled out by American Football.

Subjects, Vuk, subjects.

Ah, sadly this is no longer true. The status of British and Commonwealth Subject was abandoned some time ago.

I say "sadly" because it broke important links with the Commonwealth - which we would have benefitted from retaining.

i play club rugby in college too. its essentially varsity rugby at our school because we have no varsity team. definetly great for your stamina and you need more than for football i will agree with that. however, i dont think your giving enough credit to football players stamina. some of them, like o line men, yes cant do more than short burst however many are great stamina and the breaks arent as long as you think considering the energy exerted.

white college kids who used to play high school sports but couldnt translate success in traditional sports at the university level adore rugby

Defensive players are on the whole reacting to play very similarly in both American and Rugby.

I've played mainly Corner and Wing.

...So... Any chance we could bin this topic and get back to the civil liberties violation that was the premise of this thread?
