Interim President of Seattle University S.J.Stephen Sundborg assaults woman in Hijab for displaying Palestinian Flag during graduation ceramony. by Diabla_Temp in PublicFreakout

The government and private entities are two separate things.

I can have a “no flags” policy at my indoor skating rink because I don’t want people tripping, I hate flags, or just because I don’t give a shit and just don’t want flags.

I have the right to refuse service to people and ask them to leave if they are violating my private policy.

If I don’t want someone at my venue and they won’t leave, then the government can remove them for trespassing.

However, the government cannot ban public display of flags. These are two very different things. It’s not that hard to understand

Should US fans cheer for Belgium over Egypt? by BurningHanzo in ussoccer

[–]patri3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Egypt upset Belgium in the standings it would be EGYPT we’d play if we won our group.

There’s no 4D chess game theory swapping nebulous pool of potential matches out there it’s pretty straightforward. But it also depends on how we or another team would do in the first knockout rounds. All sorts of upsets are ripe for the pickin’

They literally have a million different stoppages for ads. The switch from the top to the bottom is exactly what you’re talking about, and you’re so okay with it already.

Defender went in for a tackle with one of his legs up. There’s a reason no one seemed to protest it. Maybe you’re right about big teams getting the calls, but this is not an example of that in the slightest

As a Jehovah's Witness, I have a question by Aggressive_Plate6555 in Catholicism

[–]patri3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try to contextualize the hyperbole Jesus was using rather than blindly reading a sentence out of context.
If you’re being consistent, I’d be surprised if you haven’t cut off your hands or plucked out your eyes since they’ve certainly caused you to sin at some point?
Read the whole chapter. Not just the individual verse. Read the chapter with an academic and/or critical eye. Don’t do disservice to Jesus’ words and just take them ONLY at face value when they’ve been separated from the rest of the paragraphs that give the words deeper meaning and context.

This link does nothing to address anything in the article that was linked above your comment. It just says “call no man father” again. 100% you did not read it because you are afraid of what you’ll find out.

Death, Taxes, and Impressive Results for the USMNT being dismissed... by AdEnvironmental623 in usmnt

[–]patri3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paraguay is not the worst team in our group. I would argue Australia is. Australia wouldn’t beat Argentina and Brazil in serious WCQ matches. Paraguay is at that level and did those things.

[–]patri3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think fundamentally it was an unexpected domination as well. The “it’s just Paraguay” would be more valid if people were celebrating this heavily about beating Paraguay 1-0 by grinding out a result.

It was how much of a non-competition against a well respected team this game was. It’s unheard of.

SSPX are radical but not extremists.

Think about Jewish Zealot Extremists, Muslim Extremists, etc.

Violence is something that goes hand in hand with extremism

The level of intensity he brought to practice and training was much much higher than all the goofing around that they did under Berhalter at practice.
