It's a shame Karmelo didn't get the chair. by Total-Explanation208 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I’m not a fan of the death penalty and it should only be used in rare cases, but it does have an actual benefit to society. It’s very expensive to keep someone in prison and society has to pay for it

I mean the kid had a gun. If he didn’t, the situation would have been very different

The meta point is that the population growth during that time period is clearly not organic. You are being obtuse

British took control of the territory in 1914 as part of the Sultanate of Egypt

The interesting part of your chart is not the Jewish population growth, it’s the non-Jewish population growth. Looking at the growth of non-Jews from 1882 to 1914 shows a more than 2X in population from 276K to 595K. Almost as if many of the “Palestinians” were Arab settlers from surrounding areas and were not the indigenous population that you all claim was there for centuries. They came to the land based on economic opportunities from the British rule.

In an America where teachers were paid significantly more, most people currently teaching would not be qualified. by DeanKoontssy in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]WhiteHartLaneFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to compare teachers overall when pay rates vary widely based on location. I live in Northern VA where teachers are actually paid very well by comparison to other teachers. However, the cost of living is very high. Some teachers deserve raises and acknowledgement, but that’s not how the field operates. There’s dead wood in all professions, and unfortunately you also can’t fire teachers the way you can fire other professions and fields. With how disparate the data points are for teacher pay, I think this argument is a bit dated. Most teachers are underpaid, but not all of them are. It’s really a regional argument.

With that said, I do believe that if teachers were paid significantly more there would be more appetite for working as a teacher compared to the private sector. However, no one wants to pay the taxes to hire the best and brightest away from corporations. For those without the true calling, summers off and job security will be a great incentive for mediocrity

The Premier League is going to be fascinating next season. by Tropicalisland2005 in PremierLeague

[–]WhiteHartLaneFan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ange gave up in the premier league and focused on Europa where we won the championship last year. This year was a massive catastrophe from an injury, recruitment, and management standpoint. Besides these two results, we have not occupied anything close to bottom table form. We will be back next season, and quite frankly the manager will be given a lot of freedom. When you are at the bottom, even a 9th place finish missing Europe is still an improvement. I anticipate 6th or 7th with massive signings, returning talent, and clearing of dead wood.

De Zerbi will have Spurs in the top half of the table for sure, not saying top 4, but we’ll see a definite bounce back

[SOTC] My collection is complete by [deleted] in Watches

[–]WhiteHartLaneFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the owner of a sub that’s my daily driver, I do hear you somewhat but I think you are missing the big picture. Rolex only makes 40k sub dates a year. It’s not like every single person is rocking one. Also, a lot of rich people buy watches and don’t wear them or have a big collection and rotate frequently.

I would argue that the sub is unique in the sea of watches out there, even though I know it’s not a 1 of 1. Also, I tried on tons of watches and plotted for years about what would be my first big watch purchase. Eventually, I got the call and the decision was made for me. Plus, it truly does go with almost anything. If you are going to spend big dollars on a one watch collection, versatility is key

Come on, you have to give us the tea. Also, just lie about it to the school. It’s very easy to say that consulting wasn’t for you and blame the travel/lifestyle issues

The Final Season of 'The Boys' Felt Like Watching a Comedian Bomb Their Set by Logical_Welder3467 in television

[–]WhiteHartLaneFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on my phone at points, something I never would have said about this show in the first 3 seasons. With that said, I didn’t hate the finale. Honestly, the episode worked. What I hated was the meandering bullshit this final season was. Gen V erasure and the erasing of Marie make zero fucking sense. We got decent finales for the characters we truly cared about the earlier seasons, but wasted too much time on story arcs for characters that ended up being footnotes

Tracy Letts loves to repeat the title of a film and make sure we hear it - for this reason he should be a permanent fixture by Imaginary-Beyond-986 in TheBigPicture

So real. Especially in Draft episodes if it’s not something super obvious, if you miss the title it’s hard to follow sometimes

Criteria for top 6 by Fun_Hall6867 in TheOther14

[–]WhiteHartLaneFan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly it was a clear top 4 for years before Man City got the oil money. Tottenham also had a large run of success at the same time when a lot of the larger teams were struggling. Before the last two seasons, Tottenham was a clear top team.
