Yeah, not really a "shock-collar" at all. It's actually a really clever application for the new wave of nerve stimulation technology that's currently being used very successfully for pain management in complex cases. Whether it will work or not, who knows, but it certainly isn't anything like a shock-collar in form or…

He happens to be gay himself, so I don't think he's all that worried about sounding like it.

First of all, Lupita was born in Mexico City, which isn't on the same continent as Marrakesh.

Yup, and they enjoy using local brown people as scene-setting background props.

Again, not every racist thing is overt or explicit. Whether it was intended or not doesn't really matter - it's the effect that matters. And in this case, the effect is that (as usual) brown people from non-Western nations are used as props to juxtapose against a wealthy, successful, Western celebrity to promote a…

Not unfair at all. These days left-and-right backs tend to be judged less on defensive/offensive contributions, and more on how often the commentator takes notice of them. The best right backs tend to be fairly inauspicious for 88-89 minutes, but when it comes time for them to produce a game-making bit of magic,…

Yup, and Miley Cyrus just thinks black backup dancers are beautiful too. Not all racism/racists attitudes are overt and explicit.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Yeah, reading these threads I can see you're trying to present yourself as a rational debater here, but opening your comment with "if you don't like it, leave" doesn't make you look rational at all.

It shouldn't be a "right" in the first place. Most countries that once considered it a right have grown up and done away with it.

Is there a reason why Vogue had to take her to Morocco to do this shoot? I get that because Lupita is black they have to put her in an "exotic" locale, but they could have at least done the shoot in Nairobi (where she grew up) or Mexico City (where she was born). They couldn't even get the right kind of "brown"…

It isn't being controlling. It's ensuring that both parents and medical professionals are up-to-date with the well-being of someone too young to make critical healthcare decisions by themselves.

Look at the screen-name. I wouldn't worry too much about what this person has to say.

The time announced by the 4th official is a minimum to be played, but it ends at the ref's discretion so a game-winning final attack isn't ended by the buzzer. If it ended with a buzzer, a team winning by one could just keep fouling opposing players to eat up the rest of the clock, since it stays running during…

Well technically a baseball game is ended by the umpire in confirming the final out/winning run, at least some of the time. But I get your point.

Forget Norway!

Maybe the conditions in Brazil are getting to ol' Pearcey

Both him and Pat Nevin on BBC 5Live were being absolute nobs about the call yesterday. I love how GLT is supposed to give us the definitive answer when the video replays aren't clear, but Nevin basically said yesterday "I can't tell from the replay whether it's in or out, so I think the GLT is wrong." Utter twats.
