Marcos, it's the same thing that leads people to cheer for a team of professional footie players. "Go Real Madrid = Hooray for Beckham. We are the champions over you loser English" who could only afford to hire some dodgy Brazilian second ranker. < what is it about this crew that leads a major slice of comment always in the direction of gratuitous nationalistic slur? ... could it be the brasilian influence, that fear of the broad, the diverse, the civilised? > The slurs are subdivided further so that Gib [a dinkum but barbarian Kiwi] slurs me [one of the civilized breed of Kiwi]. The subdivisions go all the way down the group sizes until we end up with a couple of people, or even just one arguing themself ... It's just our DNA [nature, not nurture though you can put a patina of civilization on most people with a bit of early childhood conditioning]. Gib did: <you did bring up the subject, turns out > and as you say, I couldn't leave his hideous barbarity sitting there unchallenged in case somebody mistakenly thought it a consensus in the same way that The Science is settled on Global Warming and that there is a worldwide consensus, when there isn't.
