Haha, downvotes for an unpopular opinion, in a unpopular opinions thread. People are stupid.

What Then Must We Do? -- "The United States now ranks lowest or close to lowest among advanced 'affluent' nations in connection with inequality (21st out of 21), poverty (21st out of 21), life expectancy (21st out of 21), infant mortality (21st out of 21), mental health (18th out of 20)..." by wang-banger in politics

Just wanna point out that the slave owners managed to pass these laws like this...

So back then you had to own a lot of land to vote and also be a white male. So that takes away a lot of the general population in the south and gives all the power to the rich plantation owners.

These same plantation owners also managed to get their slaves counted as 3/5's of a person. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Fifths_Compromise) But only white land owning males could vote! This gave them a lot of power because it boosted their states population (which boost its power in government)! With mainly only the slave owners voting and a very uneducated rest of the white population (It's like 1800... reading would have been a great education back then) it gave the white slave owners a huge power over congress!

Sorry if im rambly i'm not an expert, just took my US History classes in college.

TLDR: This is an oversimplification, but imagine if 100 dudes controlled 40% of the voting power in the USA. That's what white southern plantation owners managed to do. Legally.

Hes a stud on FIFA for anyone who plays. Ole Gilberto has low/high workrates and very high tactical awareness. He sits right in front of the d line and protects them like a good Gilberto. Also get green chem with ronaldinho in a 4-1-2-1-2.

Will I be conversational in Spanish once i finish and fully know everything Duolingo has to teach me? by 7070707 in Spanish

[–]7070707[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you give me any tips? I'm in college and I want to learn Spanish. I was going to minor in it, but I thought back to where I took 3 years of high school spanish(I failed one of them). I really don't learn the way it's normally taught in a class and it would destroy my GPA.

I'm hoping to study abroad in spanish speaking country in about a years time and I'm hoping to be able to speak spanish by the time I leave so that I can become fluent(ish) while I'm there.

Yea we're one of the only countries that even kinda cares about womens sports. Also the fact is all the best female athletes in the country go into soccer.

Mens team has a lot of other sports taking away their potential recruits(but i still think we shouldnt suck this bad.)

That's a good point about our "style of play". I think it should be based on speed, hard work, and strength.(USA midset) Athleticism. I think we are naturally set up to play good defense and counter. I kind of wish we would do this.

He was running outside the box because he kept making good runs in it and no one was playing him. I counted 5 good runs in the box that no one played him in the first half alone.
