  1. Haha, try living here. This country hasn't been more fractured culturally since our Civil War. There is a sea of ignorance out there, blissful ignorance, and a deep hatred of intellectualism and globalism. This attack ad is a direct play on that hatred and ignorance to the voters in South Carolina, a state that is reliably superstitious and very conservative. Anti-Northerner sentiment still runs deep all across the South. We're a foreign country to many of them.
  2. There was a feeling last year that the republicans didn't want to put up a credible candidate as Obama was a cert for re-election. I've seen nothing recently to dissuade me otherwise. I dont follow American politics very closely at all, and for everything good that Obama has done internationally, he seems to be struggling domestically. Some might say that the smartest thing he has done so far in his presidency was to appoint Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. Other than withdraw from Iraq and killing OBL, he's done nothing good internationally.
  3. We've got one foot already in the grave.
  4. Just watched the Mayweather-Ortiz fight....Why the f*ck didn't Ortiz protect himself after Mayweather "cheap shotted" him with the left hook? He just stood there and took the KO punch....
  5. My last 5 Villa shirts? Barry Laursen Milner Young Bent (current) Know how you feel. Sheeeeit. I normally go with safe names - last three have been Petrov, Agbonlahor and Bent (yeah I know the latter isn't a safe one at all). I'm gutted and they are all packed away in the loft now... bar the Bent one. I also got a mug last year with Downing, Carew, Young, Petrov and Jones (me) on, I swear I am a curse That's why you never buy a shirt with a name on the back until you know how their career turns out.
  6. Sadly though, regional American accents are disappearing in favor of a sort of national bland TV newscaster accent.
  7. I was at his post-match press conference when he had a go at a scribe for asking about him selling Carroll.

    Grats, Dom! Best of luck to the boy. Except when they play New England
  9. Mind you, the way Americans pronounce their words varies from region to region, sometimes in a big way. Of course. I love accent spotting. Me too. Just in Massachusetts, (one of the smallest states), the accent can literally vary from town to town, it's amazing.

  11. English Spanish Cantonese French Mastering these four can make you understood just about anywhere, methinks.
  12. Looks like it's gaining traction for a voter referendum in 2014. How do you feel about the possibility of the U.K. downsizing to just England, Wales and N.I.?
  13. The prettiest name in football should not be shortened to four letters, IMO.
  14. Nice. I like it... I particularly like the smaller badge
  15. Did they use to play in red/white and the colours ran in the wash? Gold star for Gareth
  16. The U.S. government labels pizza a "vegetable" for public schools :shock: And then they wonder why our schools underperform
  17. Spot trivia for you, and no looking it up: Why do Palermo play in pink tops?
  18. Or Aaron as "airrrrun" or graham as "gram"? Or 'Football' as 'Soccer' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football
  19. This woman at the bar I work at last night who asked/said "You STILL work here?" (I've been there a whole 18 months)....then she asks "Is this all you're doing?" **** off, you fat bitch
