I watched with interest and participated in festivities as all my buddies got married in their twenties and thirties. I was happy for them, but did not envy them. A couple have since gotten divorced and one of them just got re-married. It’s pretty clear that for the majority, having a stable relationship is a very…

The dragon is the symbol on the Welsh flag, Cardiff is in Wales.

I think much more highly of someone that says “so sorry to hear the news” than these fuckers who make a crass joke and say “comedy is a way to cope”. The first one might not be genuine, but at least it’s sympathetic. A kid’s dead.

Mark Twain had it right. Nobody likes to think of themselves as poor - especially lower-class whites. Those are the folks voting Red, when it’s probably in their best interest to vote Blue. But as others have said...I’m not sure this graph would change much.

Yep. On paper, he’s one of the “dangerous criminals with guns” that the po-dunk whities complain about. But they’re defending him. Funny how that works.

Gasser has a history of getting into road rage incidents and threatening/beating the shit out of people. That’s not speculation.

People like Ronald Gasser don’t buy guns “for protection” or because they are “enthusiasts”. They buy guns so they can use ‘em. Emotional pussies, dying to play Cowboy Hero Army Guy, just hoping for any excuse to shoot someone. Gasser has a history of stirring up shit with other drivers, hoping he gets a chance to…

The NBA? The sport where the sound engineers pump shitty music during live play non-stop and the athletes spend 75% of the game standing around at the foul line? I dunno, man. The NBA seems to be aiming its product at a 12-16 year-old audience and I just can’t deal with that Mickey Mouse shittery. I hope teams like…

They are morons. And I do blame them. But, I do agree that Hillary certainly offered ZERO appeal to any right-wing voter hoping for a change in their personal situation. That said, voting for fucking Donald Trump as the President of the United States of America is unforgivable. The fact that the Dems stayed home and…

Aren’t these ratings problems more likely due to the fact that people are streaming the games live from unsanctioned internet sites? It’s pretty easy to just google “Live Cardinals 49ers” or “Chelsea ManU” and get exactly what you’re looking for in seconds. People still watch. Just not in the traditional ways that…

I’m in Central America. Nice place, really. I took this footage tonight about 3 hours ago. Pretty normal activity here in the neighborhood.

I moved abroad 3 years ago....and it doesn’t make this any better. But yes - the USA really does have more than 50% of the people who think Trump is a good idea. Yes, there really is half a nation that thinks Obama is a Muslim witch doctor from Timbuktu. The dumbing-down of the United States is complete. I am so…

Yeah, I grew up in the city of Minneapolis (which made me a “big city” kid to many of my college classmates at the UW). You are right, there are tons of small-town kids there, and yep those were the ones freely tossing around the epithets about women, minorities, etc. It’s inescapable at UW. I hadn’t been exposed to…

I went to Wisconsin and graduated many moons ago. Nigel is 100% correct - there’s sadly a ton of racism at UW. I was shocked to see and hear so many racist epithets thrown around, and I’m sure Nigel has been, too. He’s an awesome guy, and I’m glad he’s stepping up like this. Dude’s a true leader and someone we should…

I honestly thought it was a picture of Joe Thomas at first glance.

It’s interesting to dig down and research why Trump supporters continue to support him. It’s mostly due to a common psychological condition that we ALL have. Think about your local sports team. You were raised an Eagles fan, wearing green-and-white. They might stink, and the quarterback might be in legal trouble after…

First off, I’m down with your advice there. It’s good. But, the facts do remain the same: if you work and/or enjoy living in one of America’s top cities, you’re SOL on buying a home unless you’re okay with living in the horsey ‘burbs. Myself, I chose to look outside the USA and moved abroad. Works for me, despite the…

What’s wrong with the Jets? I can tell you this: the 96% of NFL fans who cheer for other teams don’t give a fuck. It’s a boring team with a shit roster. Unless a team is train-wreck bad (Lions a few years back, Jaguars moving to London, Browns fucking up, etc) an article about an irrelevant team is...irrelevant. How…

Oh hell yes! I totally agree, Barry. Watching a great defensive stop getting cancelled out by a horseshit call is absolutely the most frustrating part about the NFL. Of course, same goes for bullshit holding calls that negate excellent positive yardage.

“This year’s”???? The AFC South is still and has always been the crappiest division in football since it was formed. Awful cities, awful teams, just the backwater of the NFL. A casual sports fan would get this list of teams confused with a list of NWSL teams.
