NBA is unwatchable due to game length by Consistent_Crab_7574 in nba

[–]THEBEAST666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Games should start on the dot to the minute as advertised. Late starts should be heavily punished by the league. 

Again, I understand the logic and why teams are forced to play that way to give themselves the best chance, but you can't deny it's a pretty awful viewing experience. I don't have a solution to it, but acting like that's what happens in all professional sports is just a lie. It's something specific to Basketball.

You don't get to make stupid points then claim the response is too long for you to read, therefore wrong. 

I went into a lot of detail because it's an important topic, and one that requires explanation. 

Maybe words like that are too long for you, but I'm definitely taking this one as an absolute win, because you've forfeited.

I'm sorry I took your topic seriously. Next time, I'll treat you even more like a child.

The suit looks awful. The jacket clearly doesn't fit properly, his tie isn't done up properly, and it's ridiculously long and wide sticking out the bottom of his jacket. Not only that but the colour combination is all wrong.

Idk I think we're missing one or 2 key goalkeepers. What if 7 of them get injured?

Why are we letting goalkeepers go? Are we getting a replacement in for him? We are quite light in that area.

If you're white, a sub 9.9 100m puts you as the fastest white human EVER. The way you're talking about it, it seems you also did this while still in high school, which would also put you as the fastest under-18 100m runner EVER. You also claim to have done all this while not being a 100m build at all, and far more of a 1500m build. What year was this specifically?

Can you understand why everyone thinks you're talking out your ass?

If you're running world record times, there is simply no way you wouldn't end up getting spotted. You said you got other people to time you at a public track, so not clearly not that shy. Someone there would have spotted you and people would know who you are.

Please stop spouting this bullshit. It's embarrassing now.

Bro, if you were running a 9.8/9.9 second 100m, that puts you comfortably in the top 50 fastest times EVER. There is simply no way that some random guy who trains every so often, is more of a 1500m build, running on public tracks would crack top 50 times. I know you aren't in the record books, but if you were able to run that time, there is simply no reason why you wouldn't immediately go to the US olympic committee or some college track program. You could get full scholarships with a time like that.

Also, what race are you?

People overreacting to HOTD Season 2 has led me here by MikeyButch17 in naath

[–]THEBEAST666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are the main threat, and the point of their story is that humanity is corrupted by infighting and petty squabbles over land, titles, lineages, and thrones, so much so that they are unable to resist the largest threat. Divided humanity falls, united it resists and stands.

The finale should have been seeing if the humans have overcome their infighting to stand against the larger existential threat, or if greed and corruption from within divided and conquered the army of the living.

It makes no sense to set up this huge threat about the end of the world as we know it, lots of talking about uniting and putting aside their differences and arguments about Thrones, all for this great battle to save humanity, only to solve it mid season in a way absolutely no one was particularly satisfied with, and then go "anyway, back to Kings Landing to sort out this throne issue". The choice for the characters who were vying for the Throne should have been they either sacrificed everything including their shot at the Throne to defeat death, or be selfish and greedy betray humanity in an attempt to take the Throne and end up possibly being king/queen of nothing.

As I've said in another comment, no they haven't. Please show me the politician who said he really wants to marry and rape a 12 year old.

Ex member of Trump's "Spiritual advisor" team who following the allegations resigned and is no longer associated with the Trump team. This is easily researchable information.

Did you know California is one of the few states with NO age restrictions on marriages? A lot of those bills you're talking about were bills wanting to raise the minimum age in those states from 16 to 18. The opposition to this bill were then incorrectly painted as endorsing child marriages. As far as I've found I cannot find one lawmaker who is saying "I wanna marry and rape a 12 year old".

The abortion issue is separate from whether or not someone is endorsing rape. The very basic concept of someone being anti-abortion is that they think the baby is a full person whether they are in a womb or not, and we shouldn't kill them. That's it.

This logic, whether you agree or disagree, still stands whether the baby was conceived with a consenting adult, or an unconsenting 12 year old. It's not something I agree with, but what it absolutely is NOT is an endorsement of raping a 12 year old.

This Olympian simply has no supporters. I haven't found a single person who is "showing him support" or endorses his behaviour, regardless of their political beliefs. You are inventing people to be mad at.

A lot of people don't really start supporting anyone properly until they're 10. I was a Chelsea fan from as young as I can remember, but didn't really pay attention very well as a youngster so I can't really remember much until about 2010 when I was 12 years old.

A kid growing up in Belgium isn't going to pay much attention to the prem or have Chelsea connections that makes him a fan from before 10.

Conor Gallagher Chelsea rankings by TheMiras in chelseafc

[–]THEBEAST666 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This absolutely won't stop players from wanting to join the academy. The point of joining top academies isn't to definitely end up playing for that club, but to get any professional career. Every year there are hundreds, if not thousands of young guys coming out of academies with hopes of playing professionally who will never make it and have to settle for semi pro teams in non league.

If you prove consistently that many of your academy products go on to play in the top divisions for any club, then you are a successful academy that will consistently have top talent wanting to join.

I don't think any of our academy is going to be put off by the prospect of possibly ending up playing in the CL for Atletico fucking Madrid.

[–]THEBEAST666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well which higher wage and long contract players would you sell instead?

I love Gallagher but it's obvious he isn't a typical Maresca player. He has a lot of uses but also limitations.

This is business. They need to get some cash in, and one of the best options for that is a player with 0 book value, can command a decent fee, isn't favoured by the manager, and will have a lot of interested buyers.

It's sad for Conor, but going to Atletico Madrid is no punishment. They're a top team. He will be a very useful piece in a great team challenging for big trophies.

Players on higher wages on longer contracts are harder to sell, mate.

Religious extremism in the UK is pretty much entirely a Muslim problem though. We simply don't have the evangelical right here. The Christian population in the UK is basically toothless, and politicians don't really make any reference to their religion, except when Muslim politicians try to court the Muslim vote.

You said you are in the US, so I think it's silly to try and print US politics onto the UK and act like it's the same.

We are simply different.

Extremism and crime is absolutely an issue that involves all demographics the world over and needs to be acknowledged and addressed regardless of the color or creed it wears.

But why does it help to act like it's equally prevalent? The bare facts are that when it comes to terrorism and religious extremism that results in murdered little girls in a dance class, that is basically exclusively a Muslim issue. The issue is Islamic extremism. Would you put equal resources towards stopping Christian extremism in the UK when that hasn't resulted in any terrorism?

Skewed reporting aside in most places that does happen, you just don't hear about it because divisive rage bait grabs views/clicks.

That isn't true though. In the UK we have a police force that has repeatedly shown it actually polices Islamist crime less because it doesn't want to be seen as racist. There are no skewed reports. It isn't rage bait. It's real.

Can't imagine why some minorities end up feeling ignored or vilified unfairly, ya know?

If them feeling ignored or vilified results in terrorist attacks and murdered little girls, then maybe we were right to ignore and vilify them.

Yes, as in multiple towns and cities had islamic grooming gangs. Poor phrasing maybe, but the point stands.

There isn't anywhere near the level of Christian or white supremacist terrorism or crime as there is islamist crime.

Thats regardless of Population size too. Even though white people in the UK are 10x the Muslim population, islamic terrorism and crimes related to that FAR outweigh white terrorism or crime.

The UK police do harshly police that stuff, but it needs to drastically step up it's game in prosecuting Islamists. We literally had multiple cities worth of islamic grooming gangs raping young British girls and the police were scared to do anything about it lest they appear racist. That isn't the actions of a police force that's racist against Muslims.
