What is most impressive is that he did all of this in the 80's, soccer’s dark ages, when leg-snapping tackles from behind were rarely even called as fouls. Messi and Ronaldo are both all-time greats, maybe the best two ever, but I would like to see them play when eleven guys are diving studs up into their knees and so…

Because I go to work in a shirt because it is already warm. Wearing less clothes is like a vest and I'm not allowed to wear shorts because I don't work selling surfboards.

Serious question for Natasha: if Roy had contacted you with these pictures and told you that he was attempting to blackmail one of the women but they wouldn’t pay him, would you have published his pictures of the woman in question and kept his identity secret?

That's amazing advice column? Turn it around:

I believe playing nice with Margaery was less about keeping Tommen safe, and more about her scheming to have Tyrion executed. Margaery's dad, Mace, is to be one of the judges at Tyrion's trial. Mace is considered kind of a dumb oaf, so she goes through Margaery attempting to score some points with the Tyrell house in…

I'm not talking about knowing knowing what game you want to buy, opening up Steam and buying it. That's easy, and not even Steam's gross design and cluttered UI can stand in your way. I'm talking about those days where you fire up your PC, have $10 to spend and want to check out what's new or interesting.

Tune in this season. George R.R. Martin is a lifelong liberal who protested the Vietnam War and names Jimmy Carter as one of his heroes. Although he denies allegories in "A Song of Ice and Fire", he admits that his political views have shaped the story. There will be some poignant events that speak about imperialism,…

You might need to look up the word "habitually." And also "valid" for that matter. Or are you suggesting that this incident did not occur because anothere incident occured?

If it were me, I would do the same thing. If a state legislator actually said, "Pro choice people hate children; show me a pro-choice woman who actually has children" I'd be down at the capitol parading mine around. If a state legislator said, "Homosexuals are going to be the end of families and children, show me…

I'm a bit confused with your comment because at the end you ask: "but why is the sentiment that women have the ultimate power in the male-female sex relationship empowering?" but earlier you say "Doesn't it reinforce the fact that, as far as consensual sex is concerned, women are in charge of sex? ****Isn't that…

His/her argument is so specious, I can't believe I'm still engaging him/her.

But he isn't holding for a friend, is he? His cosmic lotto number came up when it was time to add another member to the Cumberbatch family, three-hundred years after the fact. We choose friends. We choose to participate in criminal activity. He didn't choose to be born a Cumberbatch and he didn't choose to own slaves.…

Not just Syria, but this realness:

RE: Would agree but for this caveat, his family's wealth came from people dying on those farms. He may not currently be a plutocrat, but he was able to go to school because his family once was. It has been a couple of hundred years and all and the wealth probably has been reinvested so as not to come completely from…

RE: The culpability for a crime doesn't depend on the nature of a crime.

TamTams

The real test of the legitimacy of this is to flip it backwards logically. I come from a long line of French Canadian Mennonites and I have a family tree traced back to the 1500s on one side (thank you, bibles!) and to the early 1800s on the other. I'm reasonably certain none of my direct ancestors owned slaves…

I feel like this is a waste of energy. What about the people that are actually oppressing people right now? Let's focus on them.

Sorry, it is bullshit that the descendant of a slave owner has some special requirement for apologizing for slavery. It is double bullshit when that person is a celebrity. It's triple bullshit when you have living plutocrats actively oppressing living people, right fucking now.
