What happened dude? Why is it so bad?

LOOOL, great introduction! Welcome!

Do they want to end it though?

But there are many ways to win a war. If USA achieved everything you said, it would indeed be considered a win! I understand when you say they are not trying to win it. However, they are not by any chance achieving their objectives there, so when we say they are not winning it, we mean they are not achieving their goals!

What?? LOOOOOOOL Neymar rummors in Europe get worse by the day. The only "concrete" info about Neymar is that Barcelona will pay 10mi for him even when his contract ends...

LOOOL, I honestly thought he was 29 and was turning 30 soon. WOOOOW, way out of line! Thanks and I agree!

I will be 19 on a few days and I wouldnt change it for nothing. I think it will be the same until I am on University, so 20-23 will be just as good! 16-17 is shit compared to 18 though, not even debetable.

Spot on! I just said it is Vietnam all over again because some major aspects is very similar. For instance, the desert makes things unsustainable for soldiers or whoever doesnt know the land (just change it to a forest). Also, we are talking about one super prepared and rich troop against amateur poor military force. And there is the massive media disaproval as well. 3 big similarities, but there is also the life impact that you rightfully discribed. EDIT: I just realised how I vastly (see) overuse adverbs when writing in English. WEIRD!

I am not 100% positive on my wish to loan him if we get UCL, but I dont see it doing that much damage to him. I mean, Cavani and Ba would be temporarily, since Ba is 'old' and injury prone and maybe we even start using 2 strikers, so buying Cavani is not as crazy as it sounds. Loaning him for just one more year might be a good option. Also, Cavani/Lukaku in the future will be so deadly, wow! I must admit i have only seen him playing 3-4 times, but what worries me is that his body is not ready to take on the Premier League. If he prefers a Marin role for the next year or so, I see no problem. if he wants to play, then we must loan Feruz. I do agree it will be hard to find a good team for him... I would include him if we are out of UCL. However, I absolutely think Moses and Hazard are not enough (not in quality) for a strong run in both the English League and Champions League. Gaitan or Rodriguez would do really well on our team, seriously. They provide good width, dribling and crossing ability and they know how to defend. Yes! Maybe in one year he surprises us all and do really well, but definetly not ready for an immediate spot. Agreed! Ake has no place right now, imo. We would have 3 DMs and none of them would be world class. I just dont see Romeu thriving anymore (seems harsh, but idk) and Mikel + Ake wont do. Someone like Capoue is one of our highest priorities. I actually think you might be right. At least so he can see how things are in Cobham and get that everyday life experience... He is, but do we just tell Cech to pack his things and go? Wouldnt it be disrespectful? I just feel sometimes we gotta do what is right and not what is rationally the best... I just dont see them sadly being worth not even 90-100k, let alone 150k+. Very sad, but true! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, what you think of the squads? Balanced? Totally out of line? Way to unrealistic? Also, how sure are you that Torres will leave?

I see, sorry! Well, I honestly think each player/position is a different case and we need a bit of both: youngsters being promoted and some transfer window activity... Lukaku: If we qualify for UCL, I would loan him for one more year. First because I am not sure Torres will leave and second I believe we need a bombastic teamplayer like Cavani upfront. Romelu would still keep his growth in a EPL midtable team and we would be secured with a duo of Ba/Cavani. However, if we finish 5th, there is no need to spend big on a 'luxury' (if Spuds have Defoe/Adebayor and Arse have Grioud/Podolski and still make the top4, Lukaku/Ba is more than enough). Feruz: Loan him to a Championship team for at least two more years! Piazon: This is tricky....How good is he? Will we keep Marin or not? If both answers are negative, we must loan him to a Premier League team and buy a Winger who is fast, can drible and work on both sides. Without Moses and Hazard we have absolutely no width. KDB: He is good, I honestly believe he will be very good. I also think he is ready. Since Lampard probably wont stay, Essien is unlikely to return and Ramires is not made to be a regular first team player, he has a spot in the squad right for him. He is versatile and I dont see him being mad if we dont start him regularly in his first season. Josh: Not ready, imo. I would loan him to an English team and see how he reacts... Ake: Also depends whether we get top4 or not. If we do, we will certainly need a top DM. If we dont, I see no problem if only having Mikel/Romeu/Ake. Chabolah: Needs a EPL team so our staff can trully analyse how good the kid is. He seems outstanding, but must be taken care of. No place for him in the currently squad: JT, Luiz, Cahill and Iva already. Courtois: He said he is fine waiting 2 more years. I hope so, cant let him go at any cost! Old Guard: This pains me to say, but I totally belive we would be better off without JT and Lampard next yer. God, it seems so weird saying this, but I honestly do. Sorry, said it! ;-( ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In resume, this would be my two different dream squads for next year, depending on this season's outcome. Feel totally free to give your opinion, I am writing this exactly so I can see what other people think. UCL GK: Cech, Turnbull (Courtois on loan) RB: Azi, Iva CB: X, Luiz, Cahill (Chabolah on loan) LB: Cole, Bertrand DM: X, Mikel, Ake CM: X, Ramires, KDB (Josh on loan) CAM: Mata, Oscar W: Hazard, Moses, X (Piazon on loan) ST: X, Ba, (Lukaku on loan) Xs: Hummels, Capoue, Moutinho/Modric, Gaitan/Rodriguez, Cavani. (they are only options, be more worried with their style of play) UEL GK: Cech, Turnbull (Courtois on loan) RB: Azi, Iva CB: Terry, Luiz, Cahill (Chabolah on loan) LB: Cole, Bertrand DM: X, Mikel, Ake CM: X, Ramires, KDB (Josh on loan) CAM: Mata, Oscar W: Hazard, Moses, Piazon/Marin ST: Lukaku, Ba (Feruz on loan) Xs: Capoue and Moutinho/Modric (they are only options, be more worried with their style of play) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyways, this is only my two cents, but you cant deny the UCL squad would be beast!

Not gonna happen, just a way to put pressure and 'tell the world' North Koera has nuclear weapon! This is actually not the first time it has happened, but USA is 'safe'. No one will let it reach that level. The only real problem is if they will 'attack' South Korea or not... Also, Afghanistan is Vietnan 2.0. USA arent really losing, but they arent really winning either. The expenses and coleteral effects have just become too big to continue the war!

LOL at the guys playing Joquempô...

I dont think you are any bit arrogant. I just think you overreact when I use strong sarcasm. I am just a problematic dude, nonsense from time to time. I use irony expecting people to play along... You trully shocked me when you replied in the BF3 thread, you really did. It was clearly a healthy joke and you interpret it differently. Today I was already expecting though. It could also be just me misinterpreting your reactions, but I think you did take it the wrong way! We didnt get out of hand and that is why I gor concerned you didnt answer. It was/is alright by my part, but since you didnt reply, I thought tou had taken something personally. Only thing that bothered me was when you insinuated stuff about me and when you said I was trying to give you a lecture. Sorry if it did come out that way, but I swear to anything you want it wasnt my intention. From the begining what I was defending was the right for rich people (Marx) to give their opinion on what they think is best for the 'world' (so to speak). Just like I think poor people can openly critiize those billionaires...

This must have been hard and dont think Brazil were in a better situation. My sincere condolences.... One thing really bothers me though, this is not Comunism, no matter what they say. Comunism is the last phase of Marxism, where all forms of governmemts become existinct. Comunism and anarquism are very much alike (weird that their followers have such rispid fights). So, if they were actually a dictatorship disguised into Socialism, clearly way too far from being Comunism, lol. Onr question though, why wont you answer me? I did not insult you nor was I disrespectful. I trully hope we can continue the debate in a civilized way, one where sarcasm wont be used if you dont like it so much...

Thank you man, really! Sometimes I cant express myself right enough because my English isnt that great...

For starters, Comunism is an ideal free form of social system where there is no government, so this is already all wrong. Second, you are very sensitive mate, serious. Cant you remeber the BF3 thread, where I did a joke and you got all offended? And what about the Roman Bear one? Third, I have all the right to talk about things I have studied and know well. The fact your country was invades or if you are old (idk), does not make you smarter! Brazil was in some shit conditions at that time as well, for different reasons, but we had a super hard military dictatorship form 1964-1988. i may not have lived that period, but I had to study absolutely everything to pass my exams with good grades. I feel very low when people appeal for money or age, it trully makes me sad. Lastly, did you just used irony to insinuate I am rich and that disqualify my arguments? One thing to be clear, I am not giving any lecture about poverty (re-read the posts), I am defending the stupid stereotype that people with money have no idea of what is going on and for that reason cant write a book about it! P.S: iPad...

LOOOL It has indeed derailed, but I didnt take anything personally mate. I just cant stand someone trying to disqualify the ideas of two sociologists because they came from wealthy families or not. Rich people are not retarded assholes who know shit about life. Bushman talks exactly like he doesnt respect them because where they come from. Why not look solely into his work without biased opinion and decide for yourself with logical arguments why it is right or wrong? Yes, their (the millionares) lives are fucking easy and they have zero worries, but how can you want to prove that the ideas of two important people in modern history are wrong by only saying they had money? How can you say that if they were poor they would have valid points? I seriously cant see how you dont get furious by it. I am not talking about general wealthy people or whatevever. I am only arguying that something so simple as judging anyone for what their family were and not for what they did or wrote is complete bullshit. Many revolutions came from rich young students and they complete changed the world for the better, should we discredit them as well? This is all I am saying...

You two are so sensitive, gosh! Sarcasm is pretty comon in a debate, must learn how to grasp it. It is not the first time it has happened SineUltra... Also, bushman just contradicted himself. If there are the ones who do help, how can you automaticaly disqualify Marx for being rich? There are all sorts of people and they can all be found in all classes. Mark was a fucking stupid intelligent dude that happened to be rich. From what I know, this why the whole argument started... This cant be used as an argument in a smart debate, it has no value. I am not defending rich people in a broader sense, I am only defending their right to give their opinion about what they think is best for the workforce! It is absolutely stupid to categorize people by their money. Specially to try to do it with Marx and Engels (who contributed in a lot of fields), if they were poor they would be more correct?

No, they live a much better life, but they do know what happens around them! It is ridiculous to say rich people cant write about what it is best for the people because they are clueless little boys driving expensive cars. That is why this conversation started in the first place. Nobody is denying they live in a different life. At least in Brazil, rich people in Europe might be dumb I dont know...

Can you be more specific? Are you asking if we should stop buying so much and give them opportunities or are you asking whether we should promote them, do nothing else and start next season with our current squad?

No no, Gourley is the source of all evil surronding Chelsea. We should impale him!

Another stereotype at its best. A lot of rich people have a way better perception of poverty than middle class people... Rich fellows are not snob as TV shows, many are well educated and have a sense of social problems. A lot do volunteers works (and I dont mean, write a check), going to favelas and spending the day helping children learn how to read or do basic math operations so they can have at least hope. I have also seen people doing big purchases of fish (because it is a rather expensive product in Sao Paulo) and spending the whole fucking Sunday cooking for the children. I know this may seem all superficial, but what do you want them to do? Donate all their fucking money so people can feel pitty about them and call them humble? Actually, when they spend money buying products, they are helping the economy in all sorts of ways. There are all sorts of people and they can all be found in all classes. Mark was a fucking stupid intelligent dude that happened to be rich. This cant be used as an argument in a smart debate, it has no value. I am not defending rich people in a broader sense, I am only defending their right to give their opinion about what they think is best for the workforce! Of course only who lives in shit conditions knows how it is like, but it is pretty stupid to say rich people have a distorced sense of reality. Maybe those dumb old ladies that pass the whole day in the spa, but they dont count for nothing! EDIT: I am against billionaires who have way more money than one can imagine and live out of this world, doing nothing good. However, they are not even classified as rich people...

^ This Gourley dude is the real problem, I think we should get rid of him asap!

That is the spirit! (but a bit hard to believe, lol)

No it isnt. Being rich is just an economic state, it tells absolutely nothing about the person. Maybe only that he has a fat bank account, lives in a shit awesome apartment and drives a Porsche. What this has to do with his intelligence or his ability to perceive his surrondings and try to improve what is wrong? As for Soviet Socialism, I agree.
