  1. The problem with the international tournaments is that these players don't know each other that well so there is often not the chemistry seen when you watch league games. Soccer is a pure capitalist sport. Very rarely will a team that isn't super wealthy win any important trophies. The goal is to effectively build up your team by winning these lower level championships, sell the players and try to climb up the ladder. Sometimes, a Russian billionaire will come along with some extra cash in his back pocket to buy a team and make them a top contender. That being said, winning your domestic league is prestigious but winning the European cup (champions league) is where the big prize money/prestige is.
  2. Generally people become crazy when discussing Israel. During Cast Lead I used to hear friends of mine talk about how it was an injustice and war crimes though I never heard a peep from those same people when Syria wipes out protester after protester.
  3. Because it sounds good as Magox pointed out.
  4. The entire point of investing in bonds is the protection of being subordinate only to bank debt if there is ever a bankruptcy . Equity holders on the other hand are subordinate to everything and usually get wiped out in a bankruptcy so effectively they are SOL. Another important point. Usually bond investors come from mutual funds/etc and have clients that are effectively income centered i.e. pension funds, people close to retirement so effectively you are !@#$ing over not just some big bad bully on wall street but a lot of people who probably depend on that income for basic income. At the end of the day, anyone attached to the company is SOL so why do workers get a sweet deal (overpaid uncompromising workers at that) but other contract holders are the ones who are SOL? Yes she's doing quite fine if you ask me
  5. I know. My wife owns a few cadillacs.
  6. When I was in Italy this summer, my cousin had just purchased a used vehicle that operates on G.P.L (Gas Petroleo Liquido) which cost .70 Euro in comparison 1.50 Euro for normal gasoline. I never bothered to do research on how it worked but I believe you have two different tanks and this type of fuel was catching on.
  7. Are you the reincarnation of Holcombs_Arm?
  8. Are you new? This is me being nice.
  9. Who the !@#$ cares about Rush Limbaugh? Why not just talk about Alex Jones? You'll get just as much credibility you !@#$ing tool.
  10. As if the liberals are any different? They both suck and that's the problem with politics in general whether it be in USA or the UK. Cheerleaders so attached to their political party that they will justify/defend anything. The entire joke of people voting for Santorum just so Obama has a better shot of winning is proof enough.
  11. The custom here is 15%. 20% if the girl is hot and good service. There have been some occasions where I am my friends received terrible service (write a blog about it terrible) and we left nothing. Fair enough.
  12. The story might be true or perhaps the person gave such terrible service and warranted a terrible tip?
  13. I'm paid 6 figures to watch grass grow. Got a !@#$ing problem with that????
  14. You don't have to take the estimate blindly and push a button. That's what intelligence is for. ..
  15. So you can attempt to estimate...
  16. Are you going to flip out again like last time?
  17. Which is why evil is hereditary and he chose to be a financial advisor.
  18. Especially since the school is supposedly in a well off neighborhood. Lesson 2: Your parents are evil. Lesson 3: How to become a liberal arts major.
