[QUOTE="edumerino, post: 632470, member: 71173"] Hello you guys! First post here! Just joined the Forum and this was the first topic that pick my attention… It´s possible to understand some Conrad´s point of views but, as marianodan said, it was a show of “extreme stereotyping†thoughts. It´s pretty similar to the speech of part of our community here in Brazil that easily blame “genetics†or “outsiders†for every problem that we have and, then, use it as explanation for everything from “why we´re not good in rugby†to “why our criminal rates are so highâ€. Seems like it´s not something exclusive of the Brazilians here in Latin America. I don´t know if we´ll develop that fast with this kind of awareness… But I´m happy to see that guys from Georgia, USA, UK and Argentina doesn´t easily agree with this kind of “absolute truthâ€. Ow.. Not sure if I understood the point about rugby players/fans being bigger and stronger than football players/fans and having better one-to-one fighting skills… From what I understand, and please make know if I´m wrong, it´s the opposite of what te “rugby culture†claims...
