Yep. Oh, have you been to the Philippines by chance?

@Beepu, another k-pop artist?

It might actually give Cesc the means to be himself. If we look back at Arsenal the entire team was built for Cesc.

I dunno. If I can catch it at a reasonable time, I'll watch it but the games will probably be one while I'm sleeping.

As long as decent pitcher comes in. Hopefully Jake Arrietta can continue is normal season dominance and someone else can win games in the post-season. Fuck the White Sox.

They play with different teams, different leagues, different managers and different expectations. I think the comparison is unfair for both players.

The police officer's name is Nouman K. Raja. Sounds like an Indian name to me. I'm not expert on Indian culture or would I ever claim to be but how do the vast majority of Indians perceive peoples of African descent? http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/23/us/florida-corey-jones-police-shooting.html?_r=0 It seems Jones' was carrying a gun at the time. A legal gun mind you, with a permit and everything. I just wonder if this would have played out differently if he had left it at home that day. But I read a little further on... his body was found 100 feet away from his vehicle. There is no doubt that he was running from Raja and the cop just shot him in cold blood. Oh, what a world that an innocent dies for nothing.

It's a silly fashion to be sure but that is totalitarian and completely Victorian. People should be able to dress however they desire (as long it conforms with common decency. i.e. don't have your dick hanging out).

Yeah, I know my ideals aren't exactly realistic and do I know there are troubling issues with a lot of institutionalised racism. I think that it needs to be worked out, not just play the blame game. I don't know what it would take to help level everything, to make it easier for all people from all walks of life but I'm sure there are positive actions out there that can be made rather than just the blame game. The prison systems is ridiculous, I wonder how many innocent people end up in jail and how many people's lives are ruined from petty crimes. It doesn't hurt to dream though.

Who is denying racism? The cops?

Oh, I see.

That is phenomenal. It is amazing that they one twin inherited the recessive genes while they other inherited the dominant genes.

On another unrelated note. I don't get his 'anti-white' movement on the internet. 'White priveledge', 'white guilt' blah blah blah, it is just perpetuating the race divides, making people hate eachother more. Damn, it is down to the individual, some white people have it shit , some white people have it great (just like every other race under the blue sky). Don't lump people into a category of skin colour. That isn't fair and we should be moving away from stuff like that.. Fuck this 'anti-anything' bullshit, be pro-human. Be pro-everyone, if we all forgot about race everything would be better. There are some terrible things to forget but if we all weren't so bitter we'd be in a much better place. Maybe this is a simplistic and ideal train of thought but it's better than being hateful. I'm white but I'm also an immigrant. I have a completely different cultural background so it's unfair that I'm lumped into these stereotypes, it's unfair to anyone to be lumped into a stereotype. I've also never had 'white priveledge' as growing up in my hometown, I was a minority, hell I was even bullied for being white by some people. One day, I even got suspended for being white, haha. I got into a fight with an Indigenous student and afterwards the head office said to me 'Even though you didn't start the fight and we don't want to suspend you, we do have to because you are white and the other student is Indigenous'. So silly, I'm not bitter about it or anything, I actually look back and think it is quite funny. I got into a fight, I should have been suspended regardless.

What happened? Is this the usual cop bullshit of shooting someone? I hate all these trigger happy cunts ruining it for the actual good police out there. Crazy bastards shouldn't have been given a badge to begin with. To Protect and Serve; like fuck. Shooting someone is a last resort, why do they do it so quickly? I just don't understand. What happened to shooting someone in the leg or somewhere they won't die in 10 minutes? It depends though... if he were poor white trash redneck, do you think he'd still be alive? Hell, I think socioeconomic status is more of an issue in the states than race (I don't want to get into a debate about that right now), when someone is poor the system typically keeps the poor, white, black, asian, hispanic. It doesn't matter if you are down and out the cycle of poverty keeps you down. Poor people die a lot more than rich people in shit like this. Hell it may have no been a race thing. The cop may have been postal and could have killed anyone. The KKK is essentially dead, I'd say the only cops associated with the KKK live in in Mississippi.

I don't think there is a person alive that doesn't believe Hazard is an amazing player with incredible skill sets. I do believe however a lot of people don't believe he is a 'world class' player. In my mind there is only 11 'world class' players at any given moment. A 'world class' player is the person that is absolutely the best in their position(s). Let's face the music for a time; Hazard is closer to Ribery's level than Messi's. Not that is anything to be ashamed of, Ribery at one point was one of the best wingers alive. I think most of the backlash Hazard receives is due to this odd aura surrounding him. A lot of people stated that he was the next Ballon d'or winner and the next player to reach Cristiano's and Messi's level. I think it is becoming clear that Hazard isn't that player and he is reaping the criticism for it. I think most of the criticism is unwarranted in this scenario as people are criticising him for being hyped as something he isn't. I don't think he is world class right now nor do I believe would he improve at Barcelona or Real Madrid. He has no reason to move to these clubs. He isn't a nailed on starter as wouldn't be able to oust people like James, Cristiano, Bale, Neymar, Suarez and Messi from their starting berths. I think that moving to either of those clubs would be a mistake.

Since Lille and the Cristiano and Messi comparisons.

No, impartial friends.

Their wingers suck. I would not take Lucas or Lavezzi for free.

You'd be surprised at the high amount of people that don't think Hazard is all that he is hyped up to be. I've spoken to many that just don't care for Hazard or believe he would even make the cut at Real or Barca.

The Community Shield is a farce and I haven't watched one in about 5 years.

Some people are just negative and cynical and there is nothing wrong with that. Though I do prefer to stay positive myself; creates a much happier life. As A Tribe Called Quest once said: 'Get in the zone of positivity, not negativity, cuz we gotta strive for longevity'.

I'm not driving him away. Everything he does is his choice. Senior or new, it doesn't matter, if he doesn't like it here, why spend time here? If anything a member that doesn't want to be here, is more toxic than anything else, no? I'm fine if he stays, I'm fine if he goes.

Yet it wasn't an assumption end of it. There were no other sources. End of it. Leave then, save me the trouble. I won't lose any sleep if if you log off and never return; it is all the same to me. Hell, if you really don't like it here (why you would keep posting I don't understand), than just ask for the coup de grace. That is the last of it, now let's stop this disgrace and get back on topic. End of it.
