  1. I was stood up by a friend Do I tell him to fuck off or do I act a bitch #hoodproblems
  2. shutup ryun I'm an ebony god
  3. Do you like my Liverpool? You won't have to worry about odd accents half the time since hearing English being spoken outside of the 9-5 business hours is uncommon Do you have a car? Are you a petrolhead? Do you agree that multiculturalism in its current form is one of the biggest mistakes in immigration policy that western nations have made?
  4. Damn straight the 27th is an important day, it's the last day of uni holidays
  5. The two time running player of the season, at any club, should be an automatic selection unless there's somebody significantly better or injury or something like that. Binning him for Oscar was it? What was the point? As far as I'm aware he's been worse than what Mata was. Perhaps it's less apparent at Chelsea than at other clubs because there's a galaxy of other 'stars' to choose from, but a few years ago a 'luxury' player like Mata would have been accommodated for, even at Chelsea. I can't get around how lol the drive towards bits and pieces allrounders in football is. An attacking midfielder attacks. That's the whole point. You play somebody behind him who's got a high workrate and some defensive ability so that the AM can do what he's supposed to do. Why would anybody want a number 10 to waste his time learning to position himself defensively and improve his tackling; or waste his energy running up and down the pitch? Create chances, score some goals. That's all there is to it. You can add onto that the obsession with having 'ball playing' central defenders. Why on earth would a manager expect his centre back to carry the ball out of defence, ripp past half a dozen pressing opponents and then play a pinpoint long pass for the striker? Or more pertinently, how can somebody expect a centre back to be so talented in attacking skill and still be a solid defender?
  6. Holy shit, happy birthday @We Hate Scouse You share your birthday and age with one of my good friends, I never realised
  7. The truly Israeli Jews would stay behind presumably, while European Israelis would be repatriated somewhere in Europe, potentially a Jewish state established on what is now German territory. That would be my solution to the problem.
  8. Is there actually anything to do in Amsterdam other than engaging in hedonistic pleasures and pursuing alternative lifestyles? It seems to be portrayed outside of Europe as nothing more than a good place to party, but surely that can't be the case.
  9. Yeah, the horse that is Israel's right to exist has long bolted, no point in trying to shut the gate now. Better to have something at least rather than gamble everything on the unlikely event of a complete Israeli collapse. Edit: at FB
  10. You should all move to Australia since it is the best place in the world . Except Norway But they don't count because it's cold
  11. I appreciate the thoughts, but fruit picking wouldn't really work out. Not to worry though, I think I've figured out how to make some decent ends
  12. Anwar Sadat was the best of them all though
  13. The best chances of a peaceful settlement went away when the moderates like Yasser Arafat passed away. It'll be a long time until both sides have leaders that aren't aggressive.
  14. It's sad, but I agree with you completely. I come from a staunchly Catholic family and up until recently I was a pretty firm believer in the Church, too. But recent events and taking a more critical look at the Church's actions throughout history have alienated me from it. I don't consider myself a Catholic anymore. The idea that a human's relationship with God must go through an organised and structured body is the main sticking point, for me. I can't imagine that Jesus would have wanted this, nor that he would support the Church in its current state. I'm still religious though, and I have come to develop an appreciation for Rastafari. It's the only 'religion' (it isn't a religion really, it's a lifestyle and an ideology, it's far more important than determining humanity's place in the universe and our relationship with God) that has no bloodshed on its account. It is the only one that is structured well enough to spread, but loosely knit enough for each individual follower of the movement to hammer out their own personal conception of and relationship with God, and form their own morality like that. It spreads a message of equality, peace and love; and even though some of its dogma is a bit out there (unfortunately, many of those who follow Rastafari are homophobic and the movement is also strongly associated with misogyny), I firmly believe that it comes closest to Jesus' message. It is a shame that Babylonian machinations have seen Rastafari typecast as some sort of extremist, black supremacist, weed smoking cult, because that's not what it's about, at all. In fact, as far as I can recollect, the only thing Rastafari explicitly states with regards to black people is that the descendants of slaves in the Americas should be repatriated to Ethiopia. Equality, in every sense of the word excluding sexuality and sexual preferences, is the very highest principle of the movement and so to accuse it of black supremacy is hugely ignorant. It doesn't help that a lot of its symbols - the tricolor, the Lion of Judah, etc. - have been absorbed and made more famous by the black supremacist movements in the United States, which gives them a negative reputation.
  15. It is absolutely ridiculous to lay claim to land with the justification that it was promised to you by your God and that some people who happened to share religious beliefs with you (but nothing else in common) controlled the same promised land in excess of 2000 years ago. That essentially is the "deep historical unique claim". What a load of shit. It's not deep and it's certainly not unique. The most easy example being the various peoples that lived in Nueva Espana. They lost everything and were pretty comprehensively wiped out in ways that make the Holocaust/any other recent genocide pale in comparison. What would happen if some Mayan quack shows up in downtown Mexico City and asks for Mexico to return to Mayan hands, since Quetzalcoatl or whoever promised the land to the Mayans and they lived there not even 700 years ago? He'd be lol'd away.
  16. On the topic of the Israeli-Palestine conflict, the most obvious thing to do is to get rid of both Israel and Palestine and create a new country there which has absolutely no religious affiliation and is initially populated based on ethnicity rather than religion - only ethnic Middle Easterners, Muslim or Jew, should be allowed to settle in the country once it's formed (obviously everyone else can apply for entry visas and later citizenship if they want, I'm not suggesting a finite barrier between that part of the Middle East and the rest of the world). All the European Jews who flooded in after the end of the Second World War should be deported back to Germany/wherever. It isn't fair on the indigenous Muslims or the indigenous Jews of Israel that their lands were completely overwhelmed by blond haired, blue eyed Europeans who suffered genocide at the hands of a German government. If there is sufficient justification for a Jewish state, then it should by rights be somewhere in Europe, which is where the Holocaust was perpetuated. Why Israel? Because it was 'originally' a Jewish country well over two millenia ago? Right. By that sort of reasoning, we might as well pack up and leave North and South America, Africa and Australia because all of it is CAPTURED LAND that originally belonged to whoever it was that lived there first. Shit happens. Judea was finished 2000 years ago. It will never return. In those 2000 years plenty of other people have made Israel their home. Why should they be marginalized and thrown out on account of the actions of a few thousand Germans? How is it fair to punish them for something they never did while those that did do it are currently dominating the Eurozone? Jews are not a race. This man is Jewish. Is Israel his ancestral land? Is it fuck. And yet he is permitted to live in Israel and presumably enjoys greater opportunity and less oppression from the government than a Muslim who can genuinely call Israel his ancestral homeland.
  17. Well said. I didn't know that much about Islam
  18. This fucking job man I put in 2 hours of work today and earned $5. Two hours of assessing 400 different websites in the space of a few seconds and then rating them. It's so mentally draining, since I started work today, I swear I've lost about 30 IQ points. Shit is turning my brain into mush and paying a quarter of what my old Pizza Hut job (which was actually an illegal job - I was paid below minimum wage by the corrupt cunt of an owner). I should quit, work like this unless it's very heavily rewarding (last year this shit paid by the hour, $25 for an hour on the internet!) is not fit for humans to do.
