They were basically saying no-one else gets a chance to enter. Well no, I thought. They wouldn't would they, it being the Varsity Boat Race. Between Oxford and Cambridge. That's not hard to understand is it?

Just imagine how the world would look without elitism. Would people have enough to eat? Houses? Clean drinking water? Medicines?And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

The 'elitism' in the boat race is exactly the same elitism as you'll find in any high level sports competition; you have to be good at rowing, which is a good thing because people don't want to watch a bunch of fat malcoordinated farties flapping about in a dinghy. Although I might be wrong given the quality of some TV programmes.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
