Soccer is the Greatest Sport
You seemed reasonable during the World Cup this summer. I haven't heard these sort of things before, not what i can remember anyways. People grow up with different sort of sports. And there's only room for so much in each country. My countries major sports are football, ice hockey, floorball, golf (and sports fishing - by it's numbers). I have tried watching american sports and played some as well. NFL games are too slow, i've never enjoyed watching or playing basketball, it's fun playing baseball but not watching. I've given these a try, but that's the way things are. And of course, it depends on what you grow up with. Football: If the offside rule didn't exist, you would score 5 million goals each match and defensive tactics would become non-existent. Slow pace? I don't understand this. Perhaps Serie A is a bit slow than the rest of the major leagues, but it is more focused on tactics. 45+45 is great, i could never stand watching a sport where you have commercials every 5th minute. 3 subs makes it a lot more tactically challenging than if you could swap 11's. 0, 1, 3 points are a great system. If it were only 0 and 3 the leagues would be boring, there would be such massive gaps that it wouldn't be any fun to follow anymore. This is how the game has been since it formed basically, and there's no reason at all to change it. Economic rules are coming in soon and soon there will be 5 refs instead of 3.

2011/12 Football Season
That he needs to score more away goals, look at his history. This looks like his season, he hasn't really impressed since coming to United in all honesty. Oh and, how's Phil Brown been doing?

What movie(s) did you last see?
At least the special effects were neat. I didn't mind it much when I watched it, granted I was hopped up on pain killers. I actually didn't mind Cera for once, and the fights were pretty nice to look at (but really short) Ah yes, he still manages to look like his 16. Personally i'd chosen the asian chick, she was cute. Who i saw on wiki is 25, damn, even better!

2011/12 Football Season
They were taped off air whilst their microphones were still on, I don't know if you actually heard it but they clearly weren't joking and it's quite bad for the game to have two of the most recognisable sports presenters in Britain to be heard talking with such archaic viewpoints. Yes, but I haven't read the full piece about it, just an article about it. Anyways, Blackpool - Man U tonight, i can't see anything but 3p for United tonight. Drogbas cracker was a real beauty yesterday. Edit: Gray sacked, and that second clip in the studio is a bit worse. Stupid.

2011/12 Football Season
This "sexist comments" story by the SKY guys is funny. Why make such a big deal about? Ok, i know UK is quite pc... But come on. It's a joke, it would work in the pub, ok not the smartest thing to say while they're on their job, but just get on with it. Apologize and run on. I don't have any problems with females refereeing, as long as they pass the same tests as the guys, welcome.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Scott Pilgrim vs the world Uhm well. I don't really know what to say, the movie was so surreal. I didn't understand the movie at all, nothing of it made sense to me. I didn't find it funny, "romantic" or whatever... Just weird. Really not my type of movie, i wouldn't say i wasted 2h, but i wouldn't re-watch it. 5.5/10.

What are you listening to right now!?
Pink Floyd - Matilda Mother

Look at his statistics on away games. he scores almost only at home. E: I wanted to half-watch Udinese - Inter, and what does the crappy tv channel have on instead? Traffic cops! Haha, what a joke.

2011/12 Football Season
Haha, almost sunk by West Ham while Yakubu scores for Leicester. The last 10min of Villa - City showed that there's no real team, but a bunch of individuals and no real leader on the pitch either. Tomorrow, chicken farmers vs my older sis' dads birthplace. 0 - 1 to West Brom.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Haha, what a world. Speaking about phones, i watched Leicester - Man City earlier, and the camera managed to zoom in on a kid using an iphone who was... Hm, 4-5? I changed mine last year after my old one died after 6 years, the new one cost... 35 mohaha.

Indochine - Club Paramount If i had only read French instead of German in school.

2011/12 Football Season
Despite the penalty award, Howard was brilliant... He also smiled to his defenders. And Distin was brilliant too, otherwise... Arteta was more involved than his been the last few games which is positive. Anichibe held the ball up well, but i would have liked to seen Yakubu there instead, i don't understand why he went on loan. Beckford/Yakubu would be interesting up in the front. Good derby, but with a little less dirtiness than usually. Steve Bruce's celebration was brilliant.

New Pc (Mobo/Case/CPUI)
Asrock is owned by Asus. I have a Asrock board here, haven't caused any problems but is a bit limited. Good for budget builds.

Not much discussion here hehe, but let's hope on 3-0 for the Blues today (not Birmingham).

What movie(s) did you last see?
One of my favorite films. Watched The Other Guys last night on the plane ride back to AZ. Funny movie, one of the better Will Ferrell movies I've seen in a while. O, you enjoyed it? Don't remember if i wrote about it in this thread, but i listed it as one of the less good movies during 2010 in that "movies 2010" thread. It was a while since i saw it, but i just felt a bit disappointed. I mean, it was see-able... But it would have been so much easier with some fat and sugar than to watch it straight, i can't say i laughed many times.

Fish Campaign
Nope, the seas will be out-fished in about 40 years if everything continues as it is. As an example, I haven't eaten cod for several years since it's falling in numbers, stores still sell it, but you can just make a choice by choosing another species. Tho our government recently said cod is "safe" again, but this is not true. The cod (and other species) would need a few years off completely from fishing by all the countries surrounding the sea, but try telling that to Denmark or Poland. Oh and, that's just another example on how stupid and over-governing the EU is.

Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans
That doesn't exactly work though, does it? How many corporations, particularly the huge media companies that have a vested interest in the internet, actually care about what their customers want? They tell us what we want and people buy into it. I'm not saying all are bad, I'm just saying that I wouldn't touch any form of method that corporations, or the Government, could use to identify me online to me IRL with a ten foot bargepole. If you're so stupid that you can't remember your password then you need to get off the internet, to be very frank. I can understand why having many passwords can get confusing (I know that when trying to log into old accounts on stuff, I struggle to remember which password I was using back then) but that's what password recovery is for. Also, most average people only have ONE password. They don't need this system. The Government and corporations are STILL scared of the internet and they're going to keep trying time and again to force restrictions on it because that's the only thing they know how to do. Damn, i couldn't have put it better myself. How difficult is it to write down passwords/website on a paper? I don't want the government fingering about in my business.

Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans
I'd rather be shot than censored by the government. They are so afraid of people speaking their piece of mind. But, this will be the future, no doubt. I don't think the internet will be as free as it is atm due to government control. And no, I'm not a "foil hat". I already carry my id around me on the internet, and this... Well, it would just be one step closer to see what the actual person does.

Today...
My sister is funny. She just said i should help her shovel snow. Now, let's see. I have shovelled all the snow so far this winter in and around our driveway, i don't know how many dm's fallen... But alot. I'm watching football and having some food, and she comes in and shouts "oi, help me out with the snow!", me "uhhh, no, i'm eating", and then she keeps talking from the hallway... But i just raised the volume instead. It's so stupid to shovel snow atm, it's +1.6c outside, so it's heavy and wet... There's no reason to do it. And you might think she's helped out alot with the snow, nope, this is the first time this winter, and she was out for 7min, then come inside again... Lol. I'm not mad, it's just funny, there's no logic to it. Oh and, i made dinner for us two also... Yeah!!!!!!!!

PC Computer Graphics Card/PSU Upgrade
Mr Norwegian, how much bullcrap are you going to spew out against AMD on this forum? None of your posts are constructive, all you do is say "AMD cpu/gpu will break, buy Intel and Nvidia!!!!". Start a separate topic about the quality of a product or a brand if you wish, but stop cluttering up every god damn thread. Thank you.

The only crashing I like is the sound of ice spells hitting
Eh, no. It's those who cannot behave whose fault it is.

Well, the following will be a text containing a few censored words. Ok, short story: I've [bleep]ing had enough with these piss ass idiot crashers. I've played this game for many many years now, and I've always hopped servers if a spot is too crowded when I've arrived... Sometimes it's taking 1 server, sometimes 10, but i do it to keep the game enjoyable. Now, if I'm slaying at kuradals place, people usually hop. That's obviously due to them not being a [developmentally delayed]. So recently, I've started ranging mummies in chaos tunnels to get to 99 ranging (not the fastest way, but convenient), and it's quite fun since i haven't been ranging for some time. Usually it's already booked, so you have to hop a couple of servers, no problem. I don't mind those running past either, and 4 out of 5 chinners hop when I'm there. But that one fifth, god [bleep]ing damn they piss me off. Now, they must be [developmentally delayed]ed, because they never stand at the good spots and only chin like 5 mummies... Even if I'm still there after a few mins of cussing. It's not effective training for them or for me. I usually don't swear in Runescape, since all the 12 year olds will report you for saying "naughty words". But now I've [bleep]ing had it, why must they be such [wagon]es?!?!??!?!?! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! These last couple of times a crasher has come, I've just blown up. I've been swearing for a few mins and said all possible things. I just get so fed up with it... Why can't they be nice? I don't care anymore, if a kid reports me and Jagex bans me, go ahead. I've paid enough [bleep]ing money over the years which would've been enough for a few days of holiday in Italy. God damn noobs!
