You’ve managed to be both cynical and a romantic. The idea of more nuclear states - especially more Islamist states with nukes - is frightening and a death blow to any radically progressive agenda one can imagine. Feminism, trades unions, secularism, religious pluralism, etc., will all be smothered by an armed Iran.

The plight of Palestinians are a great distraction for much of those Gulf States, thus Israel, in more than one cynical way, is useful to them. But Iran, thanks to irrational religious dogma, finds itself in a position - for the past 35 yrs - of being on the adversarial end with Israel and those Gulf, Sunni states.…

So because they’re a sovereign nation, they could lie to the IAEA (not the most US-friendly body) and UN about their nuclear ambitions? Can’t imagine how those ambitions would, say, affect the sovereignty of other nations. Isn’t it a valued principle to stand for and demand non-proliferation? Why would you be…

Yeah, but if you’re a woman/wife/boo/FWB then you need to STFU. And if you’re a man/hubby/bf/”him” (in her phone), then you have complex/complicated needs (duh).

So the alternative to Blatter is a prince - prince! - of an authoritative regime created quite capriciously in one of Winston Churchill’s worse decisions? Nice.

Great point, b. But my question...?

Is that first team Liverpool or Man U? Or both?!

Nothing like media stories about the media.

The Ghost of the First Ray Rice Punishment (The 2 Gamer) lives!!

Yeah, but 10 yrs down the line and after he’s married and settled down with Ariana Grande and an Estonian model (who’s 12 yrs old today).

GTA V needs to be next. It’s the current literary standard in this country, and that’s a bright spot.

I want to say it’s cuz he’s white and well referenced. But then we’d be done chatting...

But whaof the misogyny and oppression that presupposes and accompanies this cultural and religious norm? The irony of the superintendent can be advanced, but will the girls see the problem in separating from most other girls vis-a-vis culture, to say nothing of all men? How is solidarity and feminism advanced with…

It’d been more radical of they invited the boys to rock the scarves. Why encourage women tp go backwards in the name of cultural appropriation?

I’m happy for Houston that crime is historically (like, all of mankind-historically) low. http://www.houstontx.gov/police/cs/stat…

But Porto, tho...!!!

Plus The Goal God, himself, missed a PK... yeah, Terry fucked up hard
