Sooooo ... I take it you’re not a fan of America?
Shit, bringing a gun into Oakland’s stadium might be the only way to make it out alive.
Again, culturally China is ancient. Politically, it’s younger than my dad. Its current government was formed in 1949 following a civil war. The one before that only lasted 37 years.
And also a bunch of bad knees. Looking at you, Nerlens Noel ...
Missing the point entirely. I acknowledge that other cultures are obviously older than American culture. My point was, the U.S. is often labeled a “young nation” when it’s gone longer than almost anyone else without the sort of internal upheaval — some of it on a regular basis — that almost every “old nation” in…
What are you talking about? Unless you’re counting France, Germany and England as the only major European nations?
Good point. Neville Chamberlain, who for a long time was the embodiment of appeasement and kowtowing to evil, has gotten a much more favorable view in recent years. Historians seem to realize what he did at the time, that the British weren’t at all ready to go to war in 1936 or 1938.
So, to sum it up, for all of America’s perceived faults we generally have our shit together.
Maybe the Civil War should give the U.S. an asterisk, since the existing government won and retained power. Still, I’d say despite some lingering cultural issues we’ve largely overcome that. It’s been 150 years and we haven’t been close to another shooting war over domestic issues.
Never said peaceful, I said stable. Although, domestically, one of our best attributes is the way we’ve been able to peacefully transition from one ruling party to another without resorting to coups and revolutions. Lots of those European countries (Spain, Greece, Germany, even France) have all fallen victim to their…
Even if it is, the USSR wasn’t formed until 1917.
Torn up knee hurts bad
Seeing how things went the last time LeBron left the Cavs, I think they’ve got a much better shot with him than without him.
Probably won’t be back up until the jewelry stores open on Monday and he can buy the site administrator a huge honkin’ diamond ring.
Watching this video, it makes me even more annoyed when people chide the U.S. as being a “young nation” that’s too arrogant to have a widened voice in world political discussions.
The thing with the Nazis’ march through Europe was that it had to be that quick for them to achieve it.
It’s the weekend. Be patient.
Notre Dame, at this point, would probably join the ACC if forced to. It’s already in the ACC in everything except football, and has an agreement to play five football games a year against ACC teams. It’s basically a member already.
Hey, man, it’s an awesome rush.
