The best Dutch footballer in the world is Spanish.

Silva is a god.

Watching the Colchoneros cosplay as Villarreal in stop motion against Sevilla.

I know, that is what we were talking about

It isn't always so sad... yeah in an idealised world they'd be remembered for their sports glory but sometimes a person's life and legacy means more than just what happened on the pitch. Bosman for instance is a nobody as an athlete but as a man he changed the power structure and the relationship between a club and a player.

How else is a fifteen year old supposed to learn?How can ot not be 'racially motovated' when race was an integral aspect of his oife?

It'a nice video that brings a largely forgotten player to a new generation. Even players like Fashanu are largely 'who?' responses.

Maybe, you would know it from facebook and you'd also know it is very English. I'm thinking it is derived from a romance word that was perhaps intoduced by the Normans. It could also be a coincidence like 'Costello' in Ireland and Italy. But then again it is said that the Galicians or at least the ancient counterparts were related to tribes on the British isles and north west France

Barragan and Barrientos (the last is one letter away from nearly being exact)

There are two Spanish surnames are that very close to my own. I wonder if they share the same etymology?

I thought Germans were supposed to be practical and pragmatic? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/11/berlin-announces-scheme-urinals-women/

Although I adore the Godfather, I don't really want to watch it again because it's perfect and I remember near all of it. BUT the dumbass ball and chain has never seen in some bizarre glitch of reality. So here is my preemptive review of the Godfather. 10/10 just watch the fucking thing already

Training Day 8/10 Not for those prone to anxiety. This suspense film had my heart beating from start to finish, the lingering feeling doom never faded; every second feels like an eternity where a million things could go wrong. Ethan Hawke's performance is underrated juxtaposed to Denzel Washington's larger than life character. A damn fine film with only one moment that I disliked; the very contrived and predictable 'no good deed goes unrewarded' moment; those who has seen the film know what I mean.

Some animals can't exist in the wild without human's farming them.Just food for thought.

Aye, because it isn't always about earning money. My Mrs. won't even entertain the idea of working somewhere she'd hate.

Women typically report far higher job satisfaction then men, not exactly something to not be proud of. It seems women tend to follow what they 'want' to do, versus what 'I need to do to earn more'.

It has been thoroughly debunked a billions times by economists. I trust an economist over a person concerned with social issues. There is no wage gap, but there is a discrepancy in social expectations between men and women, whether that is derived from a natural order (the gatherer vs the hunter) or a cultural preference towards men working is up for debate. I find the 'wage gap' tiring and very pointless, but an examination of gender expectations and roles in the workforce is much more intriguing. Is our social hierarchy an extrapolation of the natural order? or is it a creation through thousands of years of cultural evolution that is no longer relevant in the modern world? Is it the nature of man to work in a risky environment for high reward? is the nature of woman to care for their offspring over working? or is it society that influences us? https://www.forbes.com/sites/karinagness/2016/04/12/dont-buy-into-the-gender-pay-gap-myth/#69515c682596 https://www.economist.com/news/international/21729993-women-still-earn-lot-less-men-despite-decades-equal-pay-laws-why-gender https://www.businessinsider.com/harvard-economist-explains-the-gender-wage-gap-2016-3 https://harvardmagazine.com/2016/05/reassessing-the-gender-wage-gap

Petersen is Kermit the Frog and a hypocrite. 'I'm for free speech, but you can't speak because you're too unruly'. - Petersen on a reporter during a press conference he held. Very smart man that has monetised his position impressively (patron, speaking events, conference fees, etc) but since he is such a public figure now, the more he makes appearances the more material he provides to poke holes in his ideologies. The smart reporter would pore over his works, looking for every slip up.

@Cicero once again we are witness to Zappacosta's impressive crossing (he can curl that ball like a champ!) but also his inability to move effectively with and without the ball. Booo, stop teasing us. If players could be fused together like in Dragon Ball Z Victor Zappacosta would be the best fullback in the world.

How do you I'm not playing devil's advocate as well!?

Blacks and whites are both humans, that is a false equivalency when interspecies. Humans are not equal and I fully reject any notion that implies that I am equal to a man that rapes children. To state all humans have equal rights within their societal contract is a far stronger statement and one that I can support; You contradict yourself. First you state that lions kill other lions due to territorial and alpha assertion - both necessary for the survival of lions as their social structure and nature dictates it to be so. Then you make a statement on needless killing? So what is it, needless or necessary? Very few animals have been observed to kill for pleasure, humans, dolphins, and chimps. Survival of the fittest isn't you killing me for no reason as that would be recreational, that is a fundamental misunderstanding. Killing me to increase chances of survival is. As humans are social creatures, what civilisation, culture, or society has ever condoned needless killing of humans by other humans? The answer is none, there has always been some sort of push for survival, resources, or strength. For instance murder is to a degree an accepted norm in American gang culture as it is an assertion of strength and will to survive but that is a subjective moral limited to that subculture; as it condmened and against law the in larger American culture. You start off this argument admitting to moral subjectivity but quickly fall into moral objectiivty as the basis for your arguements.

How often does a lion eat another lion? A ridiculous statement as mammals rarely their own species for sustenance, even when cannibalism has been observed by humans it has been on the fringes of societies practised by individuals or by remote cultures. Cannibalism is one of the most commonly reoccuring taboos throughout history observed throughout history. Man does not have an innate desire for the flesh of another man.

Why should a dog's life be equal to a pig's? My life isn't equal to yours and the applies for every human. How can you arbitrarily apply value to a life? If all are equal as species then the dog that mauls children to death has equal value to pet turtle that lives in it's shell; if one has privilege to life so does the other. Animals have, will and do eat humans. The alien hypothetical is pointless as nature has shown the law of survival of the fittest.

Whose morality though? Vegans although they may believe themselves to be aren't the moral arbiters of reality. I'd have no issue with killing animals of I were to revert to an agrarian lifestyle. There is no moral objectivity without the belief in a higher power. I've no issues with a person's subjective morality with concerns towards veganism and vegetarianism but I don't buy that it is the objective moral law. To think otherwise is arrogance.
