  1. It really was a dagger to Arsenal. A former Chelsea player gives the ball away to the former Arsenal player.
  2. Felt bad for such a bad giveaway in front of your old supporters. unless he meant it
  3. He'll probably disappear for a couple weeks now
  4. I got flashbacks to us last season watching this
  5. It's not like Tottenham and Arsenal can do anything in the Champions League either.
  6. Anyone complaining about the elbow is just looking for something to complain about.
  7. Rebecca Lowe on NBCSN nearly said "Scrotum Mustafi"
  8. Great points in your last few posts on this. The trouble I have is getting past his anti-Muslim rhetoric. Time will tell how far this goes. We'll see if the EO is expanded or cut back soon. We may be "at war with Islam" or (preferably to me) Radical Islamists, but that doesn't mean we need to demonize Muslims. White people don't want to be associated with Dylan Roof or the other white terrorists.
  9. No doubt that education has to be supplemented with real world experience. I haven't worked much in the past and it's come back to bite me in the ass on multiple occasions. Gotcha
  10. All while this was happening I saw this posted on Reddit. A bunch of swat/police/security hanging out inside the student union while things got out of hand outside. Apparently Berkeley's mayor told them to stand down.
  11. Different US-based topic: My guess is that he's framed this in such a way to get support from religious people, but this opens up the door for non-profits to donate to political parties and campaigns tax free. Got this from a reddit post "draining the swamp"
  12. If you move out to Chicago, hit up AJ Hudsons on matchdays I haven't gotten out since I've moved, but I need to get there. .Most of the people I know had to work while in college, so in essence, they're doing both. But a teenager wouldn't learn as much about accounting flipping burgers as they would by taking classes on it. The emphasis lately has been on the service because labor can be had for so cheap. Service jobs put a lot of emphasis on having a bachelors degree. It's all interrelated. If employers didn't put so much emphasis on having a bachelors degree, there wouldn't be such an emphasis on getting one in the first place. And that is why we need a change in the system. Yet no one has been able to wade through all the political and social BS that prevent change from happening. Eminem, Beastie Boys, Yelawolf, MGK, Mac Miller, G-Eazy, Action Bronson, Aesop Rock are all white rappers. One of the big producers, Harry Fraud, is one of those skinny white dudes. There's also The Alchemist. There's probably more, but those are the two I know off the top of my head. Not all BLM supporters are anti-white, but I'm sure there are some that fall into that. I doubt that that's the majority.
  13. Bannon is considered a white supremacist because he supports the alt-right movement. But I agree that doesn't make him a white supremacist. People on all sides are going to these buzz words way too fast these days and all it's doing is creating further divide and sensationalism. The other forum I frequent has had to ban politics because the moderators can't be bothered to monitor all of the threads in order to keep them peaceful. It's one of the things that I like about this thread. We can talk about all of this without getting in pissing matches. That's what our public discourse is lacking. Not just in America, but around the world.
  14. Thinking further, I have to curb back my statement that they all cared. However, the vast majority of my professors did care. I took a class called "Rhetoric and Memory of Violence". On the surface it sounds like a throwaway course, but it's one of the courses where I practiced applicable skills. It won't directly apply to being an accountant or an engineer like specialized education for that field would, but it was still valuable nonetheless. It's easy to dismiss a course based on title, but you have to look at what goes on in that classroom. Again, I think the system needs to change, with more preparation for adult life and more focus on preparing students for a certain profession, but I don't think we should just cut off funding for schools. In theory, why couldn't publicly funded schools do the same if the methods of education were to change? Who is uncomfortable? There's plenty of white people in the industry.
  15. Not worry me in the sense that he'll do it. Worry me that he is publicly calling out a university for worrying about security of an event they were hosting. If something bad were to happen during that speech, UC-Berkeley would have been slammed for not taking proper security measures. The police weren't confident that they could ensure the safety of Milo and those attending the talk, so they decided the best course would be to cancel the talk. But that doesn't jive with DT's agenda.
  16. Did you study at a university here (not leading anywhere, just a question)? I can't say how the higher ups at universities feel, but I know that every one of my professors cared about the education of their students. I wonder where the funding goes. I just graduated from a university that's in a state that doesn't really prioritize education funding and it's really a detriment. Faculty are underpaid and temporarily fired (because the university couldn't afford to pay them). I thought about becoming an educator when I was a senior in high school, but the thought of needing to get two degrees in order to get paid like crap put me off and I'm not alone. I don't agree with you that universities shouldn't get funding. But I do think education (in all levels) needs to change. We're so focused on generic test scores that kids aren't really learning.
  17. That's what worries me. It's an idle threat, but surely our own president should be able to tell the difference right? Or maybe he took to the internet without all the facts? Or maybe he's ignoring facts and only wants to pay attention to what serves his own purpose.
  18. But the university itself cancelled because of security concerns. I don't get why they're getting so much hate. Because they didn't say, "to hell with safety"? The protesters were the ones that got the talk shut down. Blame them for screwing up free speech, not the university.
  19. How are they not allowing free speech? By cancelling the talk? That was done by campus police because they were worried about security. If it weren't for the protestors making things dangerous, the talk would have gone on.
  20. Dismissing a League that's been historically crap and making fun of our use of soccer isn't xenophobic. Being an ass, maybe, but it's not xenophobia.
