<p>In most countries the hard labour of clearing & fencing an entire country was done 2000 years ago. And NZ was predominantly farming / manual labour until pretty recently, mopst other nations thats not the case. Its the same reason white SA works for rugby. You have a genetic group based on people who did that work & could survive it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Lots of farms all over the world in countries that suck at Rugby"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You are missing the % of the popualtion bit. Its like saying "lots of countries have beaches, why do beaches make Aussies good at water sports!" and ignoring the % of the population living near beaches. </p>

<p>But going by this argument harsh countries behind the Iron Curtain should produce the best Rugby forwards on earth. Romania, Georgia etc produce some big, scary munters for sure but are they the best ? with one or two exceptions, no.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Same with the "explosive" islander clichÃ
which is a bit tenuous when you consider all the big, quick fast guys who play NFL. Surely with their population there would be more than enough to make a couple of the best wingers on earth ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have a Rugby "aura" built up over generations that NZ should rightly be proud of but to say we produce superior athletes based on this is bullshit. I'm a big Scots rugby fan and they've had any number of big, fast wingers over the years, names like Lamont x 2, Danielli, Walker, Visser to name a few all of whom are 100kg + and can lift some big tin and post excellent 100 metre times. But do they ever beat the ABs based on this ?</p> -

<p>I recall it becoming a thing during the 1980s, at about the same time break dancing did. And Michael Jackson's thriller. I played a bit at school and then promptly ignored it. Ever since I've found it near impossible to give a shit about.</p> -

<p>Everything about that story is infuriating. Basically 60k down the drain for nothing thanks to that deadbeat couple who won't stop having children despite being broke, or doing meth or doing a single thing to help themselves because its easier to get handouts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a shit of a situation. On one hand W&I clearly want to tell the two retard bludging 'adults' to go fuck themselves. On the other, they don't want to punish the innocent kiddies.</p> -
<p>That's a situation where the kids need to be removed from the parents and put into care of people that can actually look after them. Problem being there is nobody to give them too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those two should also be sterilized. FFS stop bring children into an environment like that.</p>

<p>$800 a week! FFS!</p>

<p>I did a job a few years back and dealt with a guy, my age, had 2 kids, my kids age, and I was casually asking him questions as I needed to for the job...turned out, he was earning $11,000 a year or so on the sickness benefit - he wasn't sick, but he had given up work and was allowed to claim this to look after his sick wife (on same benefit) who had been ill for the past few years and she had just died and he said he was a bit lost and didn't know what he was going to do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Broke my heart, almost cried right there in front of him, in fact its dusty in my office now remembering the conversation...he didn't complain, was greatful for everything he was getting, and yet you get grubs like those above, you could pay them $10k a week and they'd say it wasn't enough.</p> -

<p>She's been pregnant pretty much since she was 17, she even managed to have a kid in the hotel and you'd have to be a moron to believe her claim that the four houses she lived in that were contaminated with p had nothing to do with her or her partner. I'm hoping that winz "accidentally " leak her name and her partners, I bet they both have a history or court appearances.</p>
