There should be one British league, with England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales together.
The idea of having three separate football-wise nations, is a relic of the distant past from beforethewars.
Football was regarded as an inland sport so, they said, why not have a few British national teams to play each other ?
The British did not even participate in the first European champion cups, the Pushkas-Di Stefano years, To the football supremos of the time it looked a low key affair, like one of those American summer series we have now (the one CFC took part this year).
It was England only back then and in fact the team was not bad really. They could n't win the world cup, but they were good - not the "this is a ball and this is a net" stuff we hear today.

The artificial division does n't make sense anymore and the nations should unite.

I agree. And German swiss and austtia should also be together

The reason that Cardiff, Swansea and Newport play in England is there's no professional leagues in Wales. That's why Celtic and Rangers will never play in England. Also don't forget that the E.C.B. in Cricket is the English and Welsh Cricket Board. As for the old European Cup Chelsea would have been the first English team to play in it but the board turned it down. They asked Matt Busby at Man United the following year and they said yes ultimately because they had such a good young team. Of course we know how tragically that ended in there second season.

celtic would never qualify for the CL in england, so it wouldnt benefit them. and the potential fan trouble would be high, considering almost half of scottish people want nothing to do with britain

countries in britain arent best friends, and I wouldnt want culture diluted.

I love and adore England. I feel English people so close to me. We have too many Englishmen in Mugla. They're moving buying houses for sun and sea I don't why but i love England even more than my nation, the only thing i dislike about my country is Islam. Hopefully they'll get rid of it.

I love how everyone who was already bombing Syria without permission from anyone, even from the UN, and some actually against the wish of their own people and votes of parliament are all now upset how Russia didn't take their permission to bomb Syria

It never ceases to amaze me how some countries see nothing wrong with acting like they fucking own the world.

The US does rule the World, and the sooner you Lebanese chillum smoking Hezbollah harbouring hipsters grasp it, the better.

I hate what modern society (at least in the west, in-particular the USA) is becoming. Every cunt is offended by everything.

Tropes are offensive.

Stereotypes are offensive.

Jokes are offensive.

Being a white, straight male is offensive.

Having a different opinion is offensive.

Hypocritical bastards. 'People shouldn't be ashamed of who or what they are unless you are white'. Dammit, nobody should be ashamed of their race.

I hate how people feel the need to shoehorn sexuality and race into media. For what purpose does making a character 'gay' serve unless it is relevant to the story? If their sexuality is irrelevant to anything what does them being gay (or straight, or bi, or whatever you want) matter? It the ultimate form of sexism/racism and dumbass writers are too stupid to realise they are writing incredibly terrible characters at the detriment of equal rights.

In The Witcher 3 there is a series of optional quests. At first they all seem disconnected but if you look closely, it subtly tells the story of a lord's son and a stable boy being lovers. There love is forbidden and the lord's son ends up committing suicide and the stable boy became an outcast in his village. This in turn triggers an event of another village being haunted; a woman mention to the lord his son's suicide and homosexuality and the lord in turn muders her in cold blood. She become a vengeful wraith that haunts the village and forces people out. That is some great story telling. The stable boys mentions it only once: "They banished me from the castle, for I had laid with a man, and prefered men! Let us not speak on it anymore." Nuance and subtly.

What isn't story telling is when a character's sexuality is portrayed as "I'M FLAMING GAY, HAHA I LIKE DICK IN MY MOUTH AND ASS, YOU SHOULD ROMANCE ME AND MAKE LOVE TO MY BUTT, MY HOMOSEXUALITY IS THE ONLY ASPECT OF HISTORY AND PERSONALITY AND HAS NO BEARING ON THE PLOT WHATSOEVER, I'M ONLY A POINTLESS CHARACTER THAT PANDERS TO THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR CROWD, IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT ME YOU ARE A HOMOPHOBE". This is what Bioware does, they shoehorn in sexuality when it has no purpose other than existing. That is terrible writing. Writers don't shove straight characters into people's faces, so why do it with homosexuals? It makes no sense, if they truly are equal then treat them as such.

So, what do people across the world think of the constant shootings on citizens here in the states by other citizens?

More people need to be armed to defend themselves. Everyone should openly carry.

Cause that'll stop shootings like Sandy hook.

The pro gun lobby are right. Open displays of semi automatic and automatic firearms would make people think twice about opening up. Not everyone obviously. Children under 14 should wear kevlar armour.
