    I’m with you. I’m not going to compromise the few principles I have left to watch a game for three hours and hope one of the teams actually scores a single goal.

    It’s soccer. It’s not fun to watch. You don’t have to justify for your decision with slave labor.

    The 2026 World cup is being held in Canada, Mexico and the majority of the matches in the United States. You can look up to find out where the matches are being held.

    saving everyone a click

    those philly games are gonna fuck up the city. Give the residents there any to riot, and they're doing it. Give them a good reason, and you have stuff like this:

    There's a story that's now making national news, coming out of a small town in Texas where, at a high school girl's basketball game, the home crowd was making monkey noises whenever a black girl on the opposing team would take to the free throw line. I am close friends with a parent of a child on that team, and while the video does show what happened, it does not show how ongoing the chants were and hostile the crowd became. Sadly I can promise you that whatever punishment the students receive, as well as the parents and administrators who allowed it to continue, will not be anywhere close to enough.

    Riiiiiight. Those Philly fans are really going to scare the shit out of soccer fans.

    Soccer fans will write them a clinic in their own yard. Rioting is one thing the West… but for them; it is all the time, and it is an organized (hate) crime:



    …and that’s from ONE team.

    their parents. Hate is a learned behavior.

    Our lake house is in the same general area as where that game was played, and while the town itself is nice, as soon as you leave the stoplights and get into stop signs, it's crazy. Like backwoods, white trash crackheads. The lakefront property and adjacent tourist areas are super wealthy, then you have the town of Marble Falls (where the incident happened) which is like lower middle class for the residents, but the schools pull from below poverty line areas as well. So you get a team "coming up from the city" who they don't like anyway, combine that with a heaping dose of jealousy and an observed attitude of their parents to be hateful toward anyone different than them, and it's a recipe for disaster.

    That fuck-nut got to legally own a gun after ATTEMPTED MURDER, but I can never own one again because I got caught speeding after I'd had "too many" beers. If that's not proof there is no just and righteous God, then I don't know what is.

    He didn’t just threaten to blow her up, the entire bomb squad/SWAT surrounded his house while he lobbed death threats at them. While decked out in tactical gear.

    All charges dropped and buried.

    At the risk of being a caricature of myself, I'd be more comfortable if they let you own a gun, but not a car.

    I fully support felons regaining their rights, voting included, if they’ve served their time and completed their probations.

    Exactly. What the fuck is the point of prison if you're still going to be punished for the rest of your life?

    I mean…you did do something you know you’re not supposed to do.
    So I guess my question is, what kind of gun do you have?

    This guy's monstrous inhumanity aside, his resemblance to a certain Goonies/No Country For Old Men/Marvel actor has gotten "Josh Brolin" trending. I've seen every manner of joke on it, and yet none of these so called comedians came up with "Sloshed Brolin."
