Are you implying that you are more different than, say, a Dane and a Spaniard? Or an Austrian and a Greek? All whom does not only not share a mutually understandable language, they also have thousands of years of national history, culture and traditions. Seriously? :D The far south, I do know that societies vary within the states, even though you might not believe it. 1. I see, but why is this a "poor black" city? Why this 'subclass'? And are there really cities which, if a flood hit it, would have thousands upon thousands of poor white people standing and dying in the streets? 2. Yeah well, I just never understood the whole "its our god given right" thing and the NRA, I just can't see anything "good" in having these stores. (3) What was that? Freudian slip or are you trying tell me something ?

Then again, you come from near a place were they riot because of bad calls by a ref in a football match <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Our footballs fans are notoriously... peaceful, they're called "Roligans" for a reason. "Rolig" means calm, so I guess your jab at us wasn't as effective as you might have anticipated. Note that I said "Near You". I had no idea how the fans are in Denmark, I was referencing other spots in Europe. aka, Europe isn't some kind of magically peaceful place that isn't prone to dark moments. Hell, France to is having lots of racial issues currently. They just havn't had a big ole' flood in Paris yet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well you really should have been more specific then, I really can't be bothered with what people do in football matches in nearby nations, since it has nothing to do with my nation, we're not a federation here, remember that. But sure, I'm not saying that there isn't problems in Europe, I'm just saying that the situation in New Orleans looks like a society in decay. Why all these poor black people? Why all these guns? Btw. Paris is above sea level. EDIT: Indeed Meta, the Turkish supporters were also known for their violent nature, if memory serves. And it's really positive that so many fan clubs are distancing themselves to the hardcore hooligans.

I guess a lot of them are banned from entering Copenhagen then, they wrecked half the city a few years ago when they went head to head with Turkish fans (who was also out of control, mind you).

However English football has a notoriously violent hooligan movement, you might be thinking about them and not the Danish, who knows.

I saw some footage yesterday, of Australian citizens being evacuated by heavily armed police escorts, they were prepared to defend themselves against rampaging gangs and looters in the city. What kind of society is this? Do we have a shake head emoticon?

I never would have guessed. The action and acting were usually crappy, even my older brother who was a kid back then and loved every minute of these movies now think that they're just plain bad, and he's not at all a sucker for brainless Hollywood action movies, neither am I FYI. However I do like Sean Connery, make no mistake, he's got style. But seriously, every movie in the Bond series always end up in some over the top evil genious base, there's more entertaining spy flicks out there for sure.

Not at all... I'm not the type of person to do that Every scene she was in made me wish she got lightsabered... and to be almost completely controversial but honest here, I didn't even rate her performance in Leon DL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know exactly how you feel, her and JarJar should have been killed off. However having her dead before childbirth makes the story line kinda tricky. <_<

I prefer the accent used by the character "Inspector Barnaby" in the British "Midsomer Murders" TV series, can anyone who have seen it tell me what you'd call an accent like his? It sounds very solid and firm, so to speak. Also, as a non native English speaker, I can easily hear the difference between British accents and Kiwi/Aussie, however the difference between those two are somewhat more blurred to me.

Never tried it, I've seen enough screwed up potheads to make not smoking it into a principle.

They're gonna wish themselves back to New Orleans before long... - Kill Phil

That man is insane, and so are the people applauding him. He's not supposed to be crazy guy on stage, he's the CEO right?

Interesting, however I'm too tired to try and figure out how that stuff works. I'm off to bed, night night. ^_^

Ooops, I misread your post Ender. It's late and my eyes are failing me. :cool:

Is that good or bad? "TOMBS" sounds kinda morbid. :ph34r:

We may be ranked a bit high at 6, but I don't think it is beyond arguement to call the US squad a top-10 team. Top-10 in the world isn't bad. Again, I don't think it takes winning the WC to be considered a good team. People say we don't play soccer here, and yet apparently we do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You mean winning the qualification, right? Winning the WC does indeed require an extraordinary performance from a team. We've won the EC (European cup, which is extremely difficult mind you) once, and dude that's like a national treasure.

Indeed, Womans football is almost completely ignored in Europe by the general population, I personally never give it any thought really, there is only one National Team here that can make the entire country go into a nationalism-like frenzy. ^_^

No, I really think I don't. Tell me, can you give me list of defeated nations to go with that rank? It has a lot to say about your chances, I'd like to see it.

Ezekiel 25:17 - "Sup y'all." Amen.

On the other hand, he got him elected, and Bush is the type of guy to pray back a favor. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Corrected.

The old Bond movies are overrated, they've been running all the old ones lately and they just plain suck in my opinion. I prefer the new ones with Brosnan, that dude has friggin' style.

Well, I'm sure Pat Robertson is overwhelmed with joy, I saw the other day on the Daily Show that he was Tele-praying to God for another seat.

Julian and Kumq, I just don't want you to set your hopes high, the US have a snowballs chance in hell at winning the WC, you have no idea what you're up against. You see, teams like Puerto Rico, Grenada, Panama and so on are not good teams, defeating them gave a ticket onwards, yes but nations like Saudi Arabia also qualified, so you see qualifying doesn't mean that you're particularly good, it all depends on who was in the group you defeated. When faced with qualified European teams (European groups are very difficult to qualify from), or Argentina you'll get... well, let's just say it won't be pretty. Just FYI. ^_^

I agree....for now. But when we start dominating "football" too, we get to change the name to soccer <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If the US "soccer" team had been in a qualification group with European nations it would've probably been the equivilant of a Euro American Football team coming over to the US to participate in the NFL.
