That stats thing though is bewildering. I had friends over to watch the World Cup final, and one of them, a big sports fan, was quiet for the first 4o minutes... then he said, "Where... where are the stats?" He literally couldn't really grasp or follow what was happening without the stats to provide the "context".

"school administration tends to oscillate between "totally useless" and "obsessively controlling over petty shit."

When we hear about it, yes, but the rest of the time, it's in between.

Don't worry! The same guy will face trial next summer for threatening and harassing Rehtaeh's father...Sure, distributing rape porn got him nothing. But I'd bet a loonie that harassing a man will land him time.

Ah... lots of reasons.

First, the project would be too vast to get going before it got swatted down. The Continental federations' members are the individual national federations. These federations don't just manage the national teams, but also the professional and amateur leagues, from the millionaires at the top to…

You don't ask, you vote them out. But if you don't vote, they don't even have to pander to you, much less obey.

The system isn't broken. It's the predictable result of people not voting.

Mr Clark is simply wrong about the dearth of civilian aircraft gone missing over the ocean. It's rarer these days, of course, but civil aircraft have been going down without a trace as long as there's been civil aircraft.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Nail on the head.

If the vote on Wednesday goes a certain way, there'll be two English-speaking nations calling soccer "football"...

disenfranchised people are still people, alas.

And considering the outcomes of other similar cases, such a message will be all the more poignant once the hacker is serving twenty years in a federal penitentiary.

It isn't quite 100% male, but damn near close enough, it might as well be.

But then again, the vast majority of violent crime in general is committed by males and not by females. This is true all over the world and throughout recorded history. It is undoubtedly a biological difference, abetted by culture. And it has…

The most interesting part of this was where Dolly Parton busted out her boobs to acquaintances in a restaurant without any provocation. Now *that* is a Southern woman with some moxie.

"and we are supposed to think it will work this time"

What gave us to suppose it would work this time? It probably won't.

If you have a problem with people bringing outsiders to your game, make a rule: NO OUTSIDERS IN THE GAME. Fixed it for ya.

You know, ADDRESS problems instead of just being a bitter little whiner about it.

to be fair, "forcible rape" is criminally distinguished from "statutory rape," incidents of which usually involve consensual sex with a person legally (i.e. by statute) declared to be unable to consent to sex, even if in reality they are able to. In many states, the "age of consent" is declared to be 16, 17, or 18,…

Maybe it's a compliment for men because we need the motivation. When the going gets tough, we're liable to say "fuck it" and quit—- men walk out on families more than women, drop out of college more than women, and let their house turn into a slob-fest more than women. It might not be PC to say all that, but it's…

The German prince who skis for Mexico was not only born in Mexico, he was also instrumental in setting up Mexico's ski federation and first ski station.

Poor long-term thinking... poor planning due to greed, greed, poor self-esteem letting your bosses walk all over you... that's pretty much true as much outside of porn as it is inside of porn.

Or why not slow the ball down? When you get past the press, pass it around because you have a power play. Chew up 30 seconds each time.

Score another round of senseless violence for the culture of honor!

Honor... what a worthless and backwards idea that is.
