No, I'm not butthurt. I'm an historian. And while everyone has waged wars, only a very particular set of people ever effectively conquered the globe. That's why your claim that the disparity between "Europe and America" — you know, the white countries — is explained by capitalism doesn't hold water. That disparity…

It's kind of odd (but telling) that you would suggest that capitalism is the explanation for the difference in wealth between the white countries and the rest of the world. Europeans didn't invent market economies, private property, long distance trade, or the other basic aspects of capitalism. They did go out and…

Also if you think the worker wasn't exploited in under socialism you need a history lesson stat! The first thing that Bolsheviks dismantled were unions, as well as every other civil society organization. Skateboarding in the DDR could get your nails yanked out of your fingers one by one for being "un-proletarian",…

Sick burn, but you get my point. Either way, Europe is successful because of its differences to American capitalism. And in both cases, success comes at the cost of resources from other countries.

Shouts and Murmurs has had some stinkers, but it's well worth it for gems like I Was Ayn Rand's Lover:

Maybe the joke is that this explains why SNL is so shitty

Nice try.

But wrong.

It's sort of creepy that the only thing that's going to save Lynch from having to deal with this same scenario over and over again is Groundhog Day.

Well obviously, who is the party that's getting hit on? Newsflash, that means their time is more valuable to them AND you.

Well he has to respond (so he doesn't get fined!), so he might as well say something as mindless, mundane, and repetitive as the questions they ask and the answers they want.

Indeed, how awful it is that he's able to be self-aware and amusingly self-deprecating, while finding creative ways to pay the fines his reticence unfairly incurs.

Or he feels like he's getting paid to play football, and when he's paid to appear in the media, he'll do that. But the Seahawks didn't give him 8 million/year for his social skills.

But his teammates talk to the media. So your point is moot. A lot more guys are interested in making money than not making money so a league wide silence doesn't seem to be in the cards. This all just a bunch of hullabaloo about nothing.

Marshawn and Mike Silver go way back...

Wow. You seriously need to have your medication adjusted.

"Actually, when I was being a weird internet dick, I felt cool as a cucumber"

You can, if all it breeds is racist, classist, mysoginist leaders to go on and carry on institutionalised racism, classism and mysoginy. Not all traditions are good, ya know? Look at slavery.
