    I've never heard that one before :lol: Well I'm comfortable with my identity at least. You can try it out too, its much more liberating than pretending you're not an immigrant.

    The thing is, I don't believe the US has any imperative to help. I really don't know what the solution in a country like Afghanistan is. I don't know enough about Afghanistan, but I'm very familiar with the Iraqi, Syrian and Libyan situation where these extremist groups took control over large...

    Yes running away from communism. Yet he doesn't want that same opportunity extended to others. So now we have to bear with him constantly trying to remind us he's a white German that doesn't want "immigrants" coming to "his country" :P

    What has Taliban got to do with refugees? Way to take something horrible and conflate it with something it has nothing to do with. We get it man, you're a white German. You don't have to try to prove that at every corner. 1628837889 They don't. and honestly this is a situation where there...

    The biggest victims here are the Afghan people. 10 times more so if you're female. Sad sad stuff. But when these extremist groups get a hold of a country, its doomed for generations.

    Lionel Messi

    I never said he was a loner. I specifically said, quantifying the individual influence of a player in a team sports is always going to be difficult. Obviously Messi would not have any titles at all if he was playing for Getafe instead of Barcelona. I think you are oversimplifying this whole...

    Lionel Messi

    Fair enough. You were just saying its a team sport and he would have won nothing without his team. So how do you blame him individually for his team not winning major trophies since 2015. Its on or the other. But are you really arguing that Messi has not been "one" of the best players in the...

    Lionel Messi

    Thats your opinion. Whose to say how much an individual should or should not earn. Also, you make it seem like he had a gun to Barcelona's head and made them pay that much. It's a free market, Barcelona paid what they thought he was worth to them. If they didn't, he probably could have went...

    Lionel Messi

    I did not mean that he got rich as a professional tennis player. But he made it as a professional tennis player at a time when there were barely tennis courts in his country. He got to the position he is in right now, not through some connections or bloodline he was born with. Listen, I'm not...

    Books you're reading

    Man i laughed so much when i saw those two posts :lol: It really baffles me how people really believe all these historians, witnesses, and all that evidence is a hoax, and somehow they are one of the few enlightened ones to figure it out. They really believe its all a hoax and the rest of us...

    Lionel Messi

    Yes i agree with that completely. The biggest problem is that they work with a completely different agenda. One that has little to do with sports, and more to do with political and power ambitions of an ultra rich small nation state. So when you have that kind of situation, the amounts they are...

    Lionel Messi

    Source of their owner's wealth, and the motivation behind pumping so much money into PSG not withstanding. Nasser Al Khelaifi is not from the royal family and was not born in a rich family. He was a professional tennis player, and someone who did very well as an executive in his post playing...

    Lionel Messi

    Unpopular opinion: I really dont think what PSG is capable of doing(especially because it has little to do with sporting merit) is healthy for the sport. But I am a football fan first and foremost. As a football fan, i cannot wait to see that attacking trio in action! That being said, PSG...
