NZ, does have that filth rugby culture...tui, dirty. I remember at school (generalised I know) , but the majority of the fat necked rugby, were arrogant munters...who gave people who were into art or music, or who generally were opposed to rugby...sooo much shit...how can you not be anti?
They drunk cobias amounts of tui, jeered at all the girls, played an aimless game, & smarted everyone...such a pathetic existence.
I do believe though that the rugby culture in a way is being lessened, I saw it at school, the rugbyheads among us weren't so prevelent..it was good. The shit that used to be intiated by them was no more...

oh fully agree.....the rugger heads and skaters made my life hell, utter hell when i first started high school but slowly they all dropped out and now im friends with have of them....im not particularly nice to them...but still on friendly terms and i find that when the rugby is over and their hormones have burned themselves out, half of them are pretty alright guys....but the other half still walk around like they've got two basketballs between their legs and act like 5 year old years and expect all the ladies to find them appealing.....and being an art person pitchblack i know excatly what your talking about there....ive had many unconsiderate meatheads stand there and critise my work when im standing behind them...but they dont even know what they're talking bout so it doesnt get to me anymore....
although just after calling them meatheads, i have to say i play rugby..girls first XV (im kinda proud....it scares alot of people!! :) and me and basically all the rest of the team are anything but meatheads....and we dont act big just because we play rugby.....all the meathead chicks at our school play netball.....i think for guys its rugby...and chicks its netball....all the cocky, bitchy, "look at me people" will generally be found in one of those sports depending on the sex....
now im not generalising at all here...;)

note: please take all of the above with a hint of sarcasism....

yeah im a keen hockey player, so i get mocked cause i play a "gay"/girls sport... even though we r bout the only sport that wins often :) so lets hear it for the salt of the earth, i guess ur narrow sight has seen u right since birth, come on raise ur glass lets make some noise, release ur hate boys...

P.S. its change from artists now to gays, another "different" group, which i think, is because, picking on arty folk is frowned upon, but cause teachers (in general) r slightly homophobic, they accept it easier than other forms of bullying
