90s Lebanon is probably too politically complicated to explain in a post. A 15-year civil war had just ended and the country was turned into a neo-liberal capitalist wet dream with everything being privatized and the state literally taking on enormous debts to pay for projects for corporations. As I said, complicated. Basically the Syrian regime was running the country politically, the IMF financially and the Saudi's....well both. Anything that can possibly be consumed was here first. There was a breif period of hope and growth in the country before an economy that was designed not to work for everyone caught up with most of the population. Does that help you understand 90s Lebanon in any way? Probably not, but then again I don't think anyone actually understands it!

No idea how liberals think that Trump's Muslim registry would even work. Do they really think he'll allow people to register themselves on it? The relationship between Jews and Muslims depends really on how 'historic' you want to go back. Jews and Muslims got along probably better than any people of two different religions did the in the past 1400 years, but recently in the past 100 or so years, as you pointed out, Israel soured that relationship. But currently in the 'west' with the right win climate Muslims and Jews are natural allies along with all other minorities that could be targeted. Tbf, I don't think I deserve much credit as I had little choice In the 90s Cartoon Network was in English only and then in the early 00's the comedy channel didn't have subtitles! Seinfield and Frasier were probably the two I watched the most.

Man, you have to realize that the vast majority of the English I know I've learnt from TV shows. My brain thinks that most of my sentences should end in a punchline! I genuinely really like debating with you because I know that the points you make are always sincere and never meant in a sinister way and that you actually read and consider what I'm saying. I promise I'll try to be more serious because I really don't want you to hate reading my posts.

It's certainly not intended. I do use sarcasm a lot but I don't think I have ever simply dismissed or refused to engage in any point you've made. Also, of course I'd be a lot more serious debating a total stranger. So take my condescending attitude as a sign of endearment!

Read that part again. He's a fucking Nazi. Do you know what that means? Do you know what is at the core of Nazi ideology? Ethnic cleansing. If you subscribe to an ideology that has committed genocide against my people then you're damn right I'll knock you out at every chance I have! Have you been following what's going on? Have you not seen the effect neo-Nazi had in the election? Have you not had a look Trump's cabinet? People like Spencer have gained considerable power in the past year and it's exactly because people started accepting their genocidal views as 'differences in opinions' because of Trump. You think the Nazi ideology was defeated by 'dissecting' it?!! I'm stunned that I even have to remind you that the Nazi died because it was bombed into destruction, mostly by the Soviet Union, in WW2 after millions of innocent people were killed. Shall we wait for that to happen again before we start fighting Nazism? Free speech is not absolute. You're not allowed to preach ISIS ideology and you shouldn't be allowed to spread Nazi beliefs. Just because the state chooses protect one of those two doesn't make it any more legitimate than the other. If you come to spread either in my community I will punch you in the face. Yes, because if history has taught us anything, it is to take Nazi lightly. They're always much nicer than they seem.. Fuck right off! Don't feign insult because you don't have a point to make! I nor anyone speaks for Jews.Every Jew and every person subject to oppression has the right to choose how to resist, be it peacefully or violently, as long as it's aimed at their oppressor. You're the one telling Jewish people they can't punch a Nazi.

Legitimize his claims? He was punched while giving an interview to fucking NBC! You think THIS emboldened him and his followers? They were already making Nazi salutes in the middle of DC! Here is Spencer himself explaining why it was good to punch him in the face: “I am worried about going out to dinner on an average Tuesday because these people are roaming around” and “I’m afraid this is going to become the meme to end all memes. That I’m going to hate watching this.” Of course it's good to have your Nazis scared and humiliated. Nazis don't disagree with people's opinions, they disagree with their very existence. You don't counter people who call for ethnic cleansing with reason; there is nothing rational about their beliefs in the first place. Sorry, but if you sympathize with Spencer or feel that in any way HE is the victim then that says a lot about you and how you view Nazis. The vast majority of people who are outraged by this have never had to actually resist oppression in their lives. Imagine telling a Jew to deal with Nazis peacefully!!

The only way to deal with a Nazi.

Got to striker a balance of resting key players/giving squad players chances and not weakening the lineup too much. Maybe have Willian as the right wingback and Ake as the left? Cesc, JT and Zouma are also bound to come in as well. I would actually start Costa as he's already had his little 'rest' against Leicester.

Great to hear that Mason is awake, talking and even receiving visitors; just read that JT Cahill and Steve Holland visited him which is a nice touch. But am I the only upset that Cahill was allowed to continue the match after that clash? Even conte afterwards said that Gary felt "not really good". Concussions are no joking matter and the decision in these sort incidents should not be left for the player. Always happy to see players wanting to stay on and fight on for the shirt, but hopefully next time he is taken off for his own safety.

Shouldn't be any looking back regardless. Would be a Liverpool-esque bottle job if we don't win this tittle. That's not to say that we don't need a signing or two.

Thank fuck we defend well in the final third because they are well on top at the moment.

Think Diego was trying to say something with his celebration...not quite sure what, though

Well one of those has happened

Also, Costa was definitely onside and we should be 1-0 up!

I see Hull have started wasting time in the first half...

Could definitely use Fabregas here.

Trust me, you don't want to do that!

A win tomorrow would also mean that we would remain top regardless of our results in the following two matches against Liverpool and Arsenal.

LOL Lloris

I made a post somewhere going into some detail about this. I'll try to find it. EDIT: Here it is:

Just 'made up' for it

We can measure the sun temperature with even greater accuracy because in many ways it's simpler than predicting that of a planet. Our sun is getting hotter and it will keep on doing so while expanding until it turns into a red giant and starts cooling off. But the changes in the sun are too slow to be seen in hundreds or even thousands of years. You have to remember that our sun is 4 billion years old and it will be at least another 5 billion years before it starts turning into a red giant. The main cause of the current climate trend (not weather, not even global climate in a single year) is not a scientifically interesting question, because it incredibly obvious. You don't even need to be a scientist to deduce it: Global temperatures move almost identically as CO2 levels. Increasing CO2 levels due to the burning of fossil fuels are the number one contributor to climate change. Exxonmobil themselves knew this back in the 70s because science does not care about political partisanship nor economic systems.

Yeah, good points. Also, thinking about it, Spurs winning at City would give them another huge psychological boost after the one they got by ending our winning streak.

What are we hoping for here, guys? I'm really torn. A City win gives us the most breathing space before tomorrow, a draw is a point that neither would get but a Tottenham win probably means that City are definitively out of the title race. Not sure which would be best for us.

On a different note, I have been unable to stop watching this GIF for hours now. Interventions are welcomed!
