oh I know. France has a weird multi party system with something comparable to open primaries and run-off electikns. Same effect, but the big parties cut deals with the small ones and allow some of their candidates to be elected. However, the effect is the same - you either vote left or right. In the end, the American…

Think about it as a weird form of judgment that is not that just.

Just think about the weird shit that will go on when you buy that house. Random tourists hanging around in front. Random people asking to get in. Forget it. Make an amusement park out of it and get all the money.

You got primaries, though. In most European countries, there are two big parties and then some small ones, that most often enter into random coalitions between a big and a small one (think Merkel's christian democrats and the liberals until the last election, or the various French Majorité presidentielle's). So…

True. Some Swiss polsci nerds developped a tool called smartvote that allows to visually compare politicians. Here is Barack Obama's Smartspider:

Bet the only thing you can do with it is having a JJ museum.

Meh, that isn't fair either.

No, Barack Obama is not a socialist, he is not even a social democrat. Take that from an activist in an actual (and successful) European socialist party.

Except for the soccer-volleyball-which-game-is-more-beautiful-joke that proves the 'mericans over at Fox don't understand soccer.

Lets be honest, Heineken and Stella only exist because "foreign beer" is a cash cow in like every country ever.

I'm sorry, you are right about that. My original point was supposed to be that it's completely insane to trust any news from that (insane) conflict and a statement such as the one the OP made is problematic.

There are some stories about Israeli soldiers intentionally destroying Palestinian youngsters feet by gunshots, to keep morale down I guess. Really no such statement as yours ever seems to be accurate in that conflict.

I believe it is called "dialectics". #Marxistinsidejoke

I believe the word you are looking for is Stamokap, or State Monopoly Capitalism.

Booooooooooooo to that! Weirdly, I cannot access the full daily show episodes in Europe, but the clips work.

Let John Oliver research it for you:

Swiss native. Swiss.

When we are talking about tennis, this makes perfect sense. When we are talking about baseball, it still makes a lot of sense. When talking about the chaotic mess that soccer is, where coaches and managers try to have their players behave structured, it does not. Maybe Real are the ones that found a way against…

It is not really useful to compare two matches, you should judge based on overall seasons. A single two-leg series might be heavily influenced by better preparation, tactical luck, or game luck.

they don't because they are also attacking midfielders or whatever, because the target is chaotically moving and it's way interrupted by defenders, and because it isn't really one kicker who kicks to the wrong place but also the teammates maybe a couple of inches off or a hint of a second too late. And then maybe the…
