This is a big tragedy for all of us

I agree, sometimes the judiciary imposes absurd sentences 60, 70, 100 year jail terms for non-fatal offences

There has been a death penalty abolitionist wave going on for quite some time, but I am all for the death penalty for crimes such as first degree murder, murder during a sexual assault, sexual abuse of a minor or disabled person. On the other hand life in prison should be prison for life, I never quite understood why we even give criminals a chance for parole in 20-30 years.

Baseball, hockey and football are all nice and popular sports, but soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world. There has been many soccers player murdered by fans for making mistakes such as scoring on their own nets purely by chance. I can give you a good example: Andres Escobar (not Pablo) made this mistake during the USa 1994 world cup and was killed shortly after returning to Colombia: Lebron James would be long dead if he was playing in the "Colombian NBA" and decided to leave the Cavaliers for the Miami heat

I wouldn't worry too much about "violence" Shamu. My wife is Brazilian, I have been to Brazil many many times and I can tell you with absolute certainty that the first thing those violent assholes do when Brazil plays, or there is a good game on TV is get drunk and watch. You are a million times more likely to die in Brazil as a result of a car or motorcycle accident, sexually transmitted disease or for being a by-stander during a bank robbery. There is violence during soccer games, but its usually between radical fans of teams such as Flamengo-Fuminense and not to the extent of the 1990's English hooliganism. A good tip for those who are going to the 2014 World Cup and want to save money and have fun at the same time: Get a nice hotel room with a 60" TV set, a good bottle of fine "cachaca" and a couple of "gatas" or "garotinhas". You will have, believe me, a lot of fun and experience the world cup to the fullest whether you are soccer fan or know shit about soccer lol

Good one Johny lol, tell the old man to move right next to hxtr, he would per sure figure out how to open that jar haha, FU Google if you are reading this you nosy beech

Congrats, I am impressed ;-)

Funny shit hxtr, just be careful we don't want you getting caught and ending up arrested lol

Happy 4th of July!

.

No problem Loader and LOM, just wanted to clarify that I do not intend and never intended to make anybodies life miserable by suggesting things to make the servers more enjoyable. I love COD2 and I am sure all the COD2 late night players do too. thanks

You can make any changes LOM but if you want to proceed you should, just as a suggestion: 1) Make a real poll and drop question 2. Any time a "poll" has the "fuck" word on it can't be taken seriously. 2) Stop taking cheap shots at those players who play late. It is not our fault that we started the voting system with a 2-3 page map list (20+ maps) and that it has gone down to 10 maps. We contribute every month to the clan and we DO care, but we never intended to have the server "customized" to our preferences. If we are a problem for the clan let us now. I am, personally, not here to cause trouble or be divisive. It's not my style as a person. Joe

happy b-day, hope you have a great day beers

Too fricking late, congrats Paper on the diploma lol

And BTW congrats on your first post, 999 to go before you become a post whore haha

Wero, I had the exact same problem. I uninstalled the new version of xfire ,re-installed the old one and voila, problem solved

Good one Johnny, did you have 2manybeers in mind when you wrote this? lol

Test test hmm

I still think the comparison is not valid for many reasons. Canada adopted the War Measurements Act in 1914 which allowed the government to govern by decree when it perceived the existence of "war, invasion or insurrection, real or apprehended". Canadians of German and Japanese descent ended up in jail, lost their civil rights and properties. This was, however, a temporary issue in the context of two major world wars. Their Civil rights were reinstated, in many cases they were compensated and received formal apologies from the government after the conflicts were over. I think that although there was and element of racism here, the terms "xenophobia" and "chauvinism" better describe what really happened, al least in Canada. Paula Deens remarks are obviously racist, however Freedom of Speech is of the fundamental rights of a free society. I am not by any means justifying what she said or why she said it, but she did not commit a crime. Racism is not by itself a crime, it becomes a crime when people start acting on it. We cannot legislate morality, but we can prosecute those who engage in practices such as racial or institutional discrimination.

Terry are you getting the same news I'm getting? Where did it say anywhere that she'd used that term on several different occasions, and how did that show a pattern of disregard for other races? All I've seen was an accusation by a former employee of her brothers who claimed she was in the room when she said the "N" word, which Deen denies. She admitted to using the word years ago after being robbed at gunpoint by two black men. So where's the pattern? For whatever reasons people associate only southerners with racism when nothing could be further from the truth. New York City has Harlem, and every major city in the US has neighborhoods divided by race and ethnic boundaries. I grew up in a small rural town in southern Ohio and it was very racially divided. I spent most of my junior high years running from the black kids who wanted to steal my lunch money, and by the time I was in high school and big enough to handle myself, some of those same black kids were my best friends. I'll never forget when I was about 10 and a white neighbor woman came to our door and wanted my dad to sign a petition to keep a black family from moving into our neighborhood. My dad slammed the door in her face and we never spoke to those people again. As for the south. I think people get caught up in the stereotyped history of the south. You cant judge everyone by what their forefathers may or may not have believed in. If that was the case we would forever hate the Japanese or Germans. I don't think there is a connection between plain, ignorant racism and the perceptions people might have for the actions of a very specific elite of Japanese and German politicians who were in power during WWI and WWII. Lets not generalize...

Don't know why, but I think your wife is the one who deserves the kudos Pete lol, jk

Congrats deerejon, nice looking family. My oldest daughter graduated a couple years ago, and will be getting her bachelors in Pol Science and Economics next year, time just flies... I am trying to convince her to stay in school and go for the masters degree, will see ....

Hmm

Happy Birthday Bart hope you have a great day

Beautiful horses Techno, congrats!
