Brazil is ... not a second world country. In these archaic and useless terms, it was considered non-aligned or third world.

This really seems like a different type of violence, doesn’t it? What are the injuries that result here? Do you not see an important difference between kicking, punching, or throwing a bottle at someone and shooting a person with the intent to kill them? I think one is orders of magnitude more evil than the other…

This just doesn’t look all that disturbing. Sure, a chair bouncing off of you is going to hurt some. And if you’re unlucky, it could injure you. But there appear to be some rules about who is at risk and how seriously. Perhaps there are worse things that are not in these videos and reports. But if it is just this,…

They do not. And never have. How old are you? Are you male? A long time ago we wore jockstraps, but not the kind you put a cup in.

Iguadola should talk to his dick kicking teammate about how much that hurt and how everyone’s dick becomes fair game for attacks when one of their own star players behaves this way.

But, as a Nuggets fan, I think it’s funny when Iguadola gets punched in the dick and can’t retaliate. Therefore, I think it was an accident. Or, guided by the hand of God in service of a greater justice.

The specific sports infrastructure they built for 2004 is largely in irrecoverable disrepair. I can’t imagine the more general infrastructure they built is doing much better.

Are you in the middle of reading Blood Meridian or something?

I don’t think it is specific to that part of the country, or to the religion of the people involved. I think that when rates of child abuse are measured, it is found to be depressingly similar across factors like those. I do think that something went wildly amiss at Penn State and in the State College community that…

Yeah, I suspect Gricar as well. Sara Ganim who really broke the story has suggested that second mile supporters knew and were involved. A decent institution would investigate to find out what really happened. Instead the president says that un “corroborated” testimony from “alleged” victims is insufficient evidence.…

Totally outrageous. These guys just cannot grasp that the institution they represent is guilty in the grotesque harm created over decades. I think the likelihood is that the facts are way worse and implicate way many more prominent people in the State College community than we already know.

Has it ever occurred to you that if you and your husband faced a fraction of the material insecurity present throughout Indonesia that you would set a panda bear on fire for money?

FC Barcelona is a massive economic driver in Catalonia. Not one thing you wrote is true.
