About ten years ago, my wife and I started going to a new church that had some members who had been around since the church had started 30 years before that. A couple months later, an older woman who was a pillar of the church passed away. Obviously, everyone in the church wanted to attend the funeral but, since we…

You don’t need to know anything about Brazilian customs or immigration law to know that Brazil has the legal right to detain people within their own borders.

Mirrored or not, the pips and badge should not be on the same side.

A little dated but you get the idea.

I know neither the entire English version, nor the entire French version because we were taught one that switched back and forth between the two... :s

One of the things I enjoyed about the Euros was periodically getting to sing “La Marseillaise”. GODDAMN that’s a rousing anthem. Makes me want to start running across a field with a sword held high, ready for blood!!! As for our anthem, I can sing the French part, but I admit that I am just guessing on 2 or 3 of the…

I think T-Mac won a scoring title or two while in Orlando, and Carter had some decent years in NJ. But you’re otherwise right in the sense that neither ever came close to sniffing a championship.

You say that, and yet, you started this thread by making the sweeping statement “[a] lot of poor people are poor due to bad decisions and/or lack of forward thinking, such as not purchasing toilet paper in bulk or on sale.” That’s pretty much the comment of someone who knows far less about the subject than they think…

There is a lot of stuff that you simply aren’t aware of when you are not poor, which is why being poor is a subject that requires some practical experience to be able to competently comment on. Otherwise, you are simply reading off the rules and not understanding the reasons that people end up running afoul of those…

I hang almost everything including tshirts. All that’s left are boxers, socks and shorts. I’m super close to getting rid of my dresser and opting for everything being in the closet. Huge space saver...

Sinn Féin is already demanding a referendum to join Ireland. If Northern Ireland secedes I’m pretty sure Ireland will gladly take it and rename itself as Éire (as it should have never stopped being so).

But the Prime Minister warned that it was contrary to Wales’ interests. Wales is a huge net recipient of EU funding and it will find, as any disindustrialized country, soon enough that England by itself cannot in any way replace the EU in terms of structural funding.

Good luck trying to be relevant in 50 years’ time, when Scotland, Éire and even fucking Wales are a part of the EU and England is banging on the door, pleading to get in.

I don’t know what hockey you’re watching, but... no? The closest thing I can think you’re talking about are those rare occasions where the puck was in and out of the net so fast that no one noticed if it went in or not, or the puck hugged the goal line but due to the speed of the game was not conclusive, and play…

Should be charged with willful ignorance. It’s a symptom of a greater problem with bicyclists in NYC; they think the rules about respecting a bicyclist’s right to share the rode is inviolate, but they do not respect the rules of the road (or sidewalk) themselves. This guy was just merrily humming along and saw a…

I have never been more proud to be a Giants fan than I was on the two nights they stole the Pats rings.

I’d give him four more if it meant zero for the Patriots.

understanding droids and wookie doesnt make you force sensitive

We have a 5CHF coin here in Switzerland as well as the 2 and 1chf. It’s actually sort of cool as an American because I forget about them, put them in a jar and after a couple of weeks have tons of money!
