Hotseat 12: The Skipper

[Barbara 15,149]

Yeah, it's a video of a dude going balls deep inside a huge snake. Maybe the internet has already corrupted my mind to the point of no return but it really wasn't that bad. I would post the link here but sadly it's been deleted and I couldn't find it anymore. @The Skipper did answer to my question earlier that he's not afraid of anything so this would have been a good test to see if he was for real.

but was the snake alive? (sorry to ruin your HS Skipper, I had did that with WHS going off topic, but this is the community part of the forum, I'm sure some slack can be cut). Wasn't he afraid of the snake literally eating his junk?

To my knowledge it was alive. I didn't watch it long enough to be sure though.

I've just seen it and it's bad but I can say I'm with you on that. I was expecting something worse tbh

Once you've seen some of the gore hidden on the internet, a man fucking a snake is quite tame.

One of my friends shared a video of some tribal African kids getting mass circumcisions using some sort of knife. Hard to get through even a minute of that one. The snake vine is nothing compared.

It's the idea more than anything, really

Haha, let the Robben thing go pal it's for the best .

Favourite TV show? I got a few. Currently watching House of Cards (haven't watched in about a month or so though ), but Breaking Bad, 24 and Prison Break will always be up there as my favourites! Still need to watch The Wire.

24 was the greatest show ever created. Jack Bauer #BOSS.

Never! House of Cards is great from what I saw (most of season 1. Breaking Bad is the best show ever, you should check The Wire out though. It's a bit different.

Also, I've noticed, like Barbara said, you have a great grasp on the tactical aspects of football. You said you like to read books about it, which books would you recommend I read to learn more about the tactical aspect of the game?

[Roquila 1,335]

Damn you Barbara

Skipper:

Beer or Weed for chilling?
Frontdoor or backdoor?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Didn't see more than a couple of seconds of it, but it looked pretty "loose" to me!

I always knew you were a back-door guy

(not in a gay way)

Sorry Skips. I'm done now.

Hi Skipper!

1.) I'm probably most curious about how you carry yourself here. There are alot of tension sometimes in the forum with different opinions, hostility, etc, and what I realise about you is that you are always very calm and respectful in your posts, how do you usually stay calm and respectful if something said bothers you? There are other members who doesn't resort to name calling but you are one of the few ones who does not put down others for having a different opinion or for lack of knowledge. It is truly a great quality and shows maturity I believe, which brings me to my second question.

2.) Can we be friends?

3.) What are some of the best places to visit in the Netherlands (as a local) I've been there twice and really enjoyed it, but I went when I was abit younger so I didn't understand much nor I remember exactly where I went, just remembered going to this cheese place and seeing windmills. I will probably go to Europe again in 2016.

4.) You mentioned that you're of Ghanaian ancestry, are your parents both from Ghana? Have you ever been there?

5.) I've always wondered about how the non native people live in NL, are there racism at all there? I know alot of people there are of Arabic and African background. Were there ever an issue of integration with the different communities?

[The Skipper 20,609]

Yup, definitely the former. People can't live without technology these days and isn't seen as a bad thing, and it's always readily available everywhere unlike the latter.

Hey pal!

I guess it's just who I am and how I was brought up. I don't look or react to hostility or negativity as badly as others... It takes a lot of nonsense to get me angry. When I do get angry though it's a different story, I pretty much explode.

2.) Can we be friends?

Of course!

3.) What are some of the best places to visit in the Netherlands (as a local) I've been there twice and really enjoyed it, but I went when I was abit younger so I didn't understand much nor I remember exactly where I went, just remembered going to this cheese place and seeing windmills.

Hmm... As a local I really enjoy going to places like Haarlem or Groningen... Both are very rich culturally, and beautiful cities. I enjoy grabbing a bike and just exploring the cities, and the beauty of them. There are also a few museums and historical places there which you might enjoy i.e. in Haarlem there is a tree rumoured to have the initials of Napoleon's soldiers which they carved in themselves... Of course there is also the excellent cafés around in pretty much every city that you just must try.

4.) You mentioned that you're of Ghanaian ancestry, are your parents both from Ghana? Have you ever been there?

Yeah they both are. I've been numerous times and absolutely love it there. Might even retire there God willing.

5.) I've always wondered about how the non native people live in NL, are there racism at all there? I know alot of people there are of Arabic and African background. Were there ever an issue of integration with the different communities?

It's really nice down in NL when it comes to racism and discrimination - almost everyone is completely against such. Holland is probably one of the most tolerant countries in the world. However, whilst I personally never had any problems there are some issues that do arise now and then. For example right now, there is the 'Zwarte Piet' phenomena going on. Incase you don't know who Zwarte Piet is, he is one of Sinterklaas' (the equivelant to Santa Claus) helpers:

Even though it's been part of Dutch culture for decades, people are now starting to realise/protest that it's actually pretty derogatory towards black people. A lot of campaigns and protests are now starting to pick up steam to remove "zwarte" (black) from Zwarte Piet. A quick google search; here's a decent article from the BBC detailing such actually:

[Beepu 1,714]

Interesting, in Indonesia we have the zwarte piet as well. Alot of Indonesian words came from the Dutch, hmm like kulkas(fridge), resleting(zipper), kopling(gear shift in cars, clutch?), arloji(watch), kamar, etc. I call my grandparents opa and oma as well, om & tante for uncle and aunty. There might be some differences in spelling compared to real Dutch! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_loanwords_in_Indonesian#From_Dutch

@The Skipper, Blackface isn't offensive in Australia. A while ago there was a sketch on TV that had a group of performers in black face dancing to Michael Jackson, no one in Aus cared but a bunch of Americans and Canadians threw a wobbly about it.
