    Just playing catch up after work.

    Thought Lewis was really brave going for the extra point on the final lap on those rubbers.
    Lovely respect with the crowd at the end, that was worth the entry price alone.

    bear baiting was banned, fox hunting, badger baiting, and cock fighting but it's still legal to batter a human to death, call it boxing and there are no criminal charges?

    The difference is that humans volunteer...it's free will. It is possible for a fighter to die if all rules are followed, but in each case it is important to see if rules were broken or if anything can be learned. I prefer amateur boxing where there are fewer rounds.

    yeah, but, if 2 blokes go out in the street to beat the **** out of each other, is that legal?

    Actually, there's a compelling argument to be made that there is no such thing as Free Will. It's all programming. Not one of us has had an original thought in our heads. Just saying.

    Funnily enough, I nearly ended that post by writing... but you'd expect me to say this.

    Which is another symptom of no Free Will.

    The colossal column of cars and motorbikes that service the Tour de France, and indeed all major road cycling events, should all be EV’s.

    Discuss.

    I'll say something really controversial here - I 100% agree. :1980_boogie_down:
