  1. This rigged World Cup will go for Brazil, as it is planned.

    FIFA is as corrupt as they come, but it's too hard to rig an entire tournament. Plus I fail to see their incentive. If anything they should rig it so that the USA wins so that they can get the third most populous country in the world to actually give a damn about soccer.

  2. If the name were a slur directed at African Americans it would have been changed so long ago. As PC as this country has become, I can't believe the name still stands. Brownskins or Blackskins wouldn't be remotely tolerated.

    I find it ironic that UND was forced to change their name from the Fighting Sioux, and that name isn't even remotely offensive (and if it is, then I hope Notre Dame is forced to stop being the Fighting Irish).

  3. Calling it, Ghana beats Portugal and eliminates the US once again.

    Yeah, I definitely have that sinking feeling. Seems Ghana exists just to crush the US, and it'd really be a slap to the face if they eliminate us after we already beat them. Thankfully Portugal hasn't been eliminated and has a reason to show up on Thursday.

  4. First time I've ever seen Ronaldo play. Is he really supposed to be the best in the world? He was so fucking bad, aside from setting up the desperation goal to end the game. Guy seems to be a complete tool on the level of Alex Rodriguez too.

    Avoid getting blown out against the Germans and we should advance. Really wish Ghana wouldn't have made things interesting, but we are still much better off than anyone expected us to be.

  5. Portugal is going to be a tough match for USA. If they can come out of that game with at least a draw, it would be just about as good as a win, imo.

    Yeah, a draw would put the US in a good position, especially if Germany beats Ghana as expected. Going into the final match with a 5 goal differential advantage over Portugal would be a great scenario.

    Altidore a big loss - wonder if they'll get Donovan on the old blower..

    A tie would have the US in a more favorable than expected position, but not at all a comfortable position. Germany will likely blow through the US, and I could see Portugal beating Ghana by a couple scores.

  6. Corey Taylor has become the stereotypical frontman who needs all control, firing anyone who might be strong enough to have any influence, making bands into his own solo projects. If Slipknot continues in any capacity it will be just so that Taylor can build his ego by being the frontman of two successful bands.

  7. How far wrong can you go when describing male genitalia? It's not like there is any great degree of variation to a cock and ballbag.

    If sex abuse cases were based on describing male genetalia, the whole legal system would quickly become a farce.

    'Yes your honour, he had this horrible, wrinkly sack which appeared to contain two round balls.'

    I just can't shake the feeling that there was something morbidly grotesque about his genitalia.

  8. That's happened to me twice :lol: first time was during a Slipknot show and the other was Suicide Silence (opening for In Flames). Although for SS I was front row so I was pinned to the barrier...

    I also had that happen to me at a Slipknot show. Not a fun experience, fought my way out as soon as I could.

  9. Pretty fucking tired of hearing that I did something to another race, when it all ended years before I was born.


    Anyone else see this?

    Stuart Scott from ESPN comes out on Twitter and says blacks/hispanics CANNOT be racist but can be angry/rude. LMAO.... I hope he gets some serious heat for this idiotic statement.

    problem is he won't. just like yesterday commissioner says the NBA is for everybody and charles barkley(who i like a lot) on the same day comes out and says the NBA is a black league :facepalm:

    Yeah I was watching the halftime show when Barkley made that statement, and all I could do is SMH

    did you see what larry johnson said on twitter a couple days ago? he said that black people should form their own league.

    http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/04/28/in-wake-of-sterling-fiasco-ex-knicks-great-larry-johnson-appears-to-call-for-all-black-league/

    "Black people your Focusing on the wrong thing. We should be focusing on having our own, Own team own League! To For Self!!"

    Disgraceful, of course THESE statements will get overlooked by the majority for some reason. Just like this comment from Stu Scott. Don't get it.

    Can you imagine if a white person came out and said something like that? Let's start our own white-only league! They'd be banned from that sport for life.

  10. Well as I predicted, GB3 is going to happen. But also as I had predicted, it will be VERY different than what it should have been. News released today by Ivan Reitman basically says that it is going to happen, and now it looks likely that Ray and Winston will be the only real ghostbusters in it. That is why I was so hard on Bill earlier in this thread, because Sony has been very determined to get this franchise going again, it is inevitable. So what would us fans rather have, a 3rd film of the original cast that could not be better than the original, but hopefully be better than the 2nd. Or what we are facing now? The bastardizing of my favorite film series that is going to basically milk it for whatever it's worth. We will see a part 4 I'm sure also, if 3 makes money, but as i said, it will seem hollow without Harold and Bill. My only redeeming hope is that Bill will return, if only to pay homage to Harold. I also have some faith for this film, because Harold was involved in the creative process, so it is sort of his final project. It will be part of his legacy, which that does make me smile. Come on Bill, play the role of Peter one final time, do it for Harold.

    But that doesn't change my opinion that we should of had GB3 sometime during the 90's, one more go around with the original team. Given what the video game script became, it would have been better than GB2 imo, and thats all I've been hoping for anyways. But given all of the current circumstances, I'm doubtful this real GB3 can surpass GB2, because at least GB2 has the real team....

    We shouldn't ever have to live in a world where Ghostbusters 3 exists, the second one shouldn't have even happened. This is just Hollywood destroying the prestige of old entities, once again. I'll be utterly disappointed if this movie ever happens, it's just going to be a huge black mark on the original movie. They had the Ghostbusters video game, and it worked. Leave it at that.

    .

    Eddie addressed that rumor in the mid-90s. He says he has absolutely no recollection of this happened, or he jokingly asked to join.

    Hearing Gene tell the story just shows how big of a dickbag he is.

  11. What advantages does Bitcoin have over real money? That's the thing I haven't been able to figure out. I like the idea of a universal currency, but there is nothing backing this currency. There is no economy backing it like all currency issued by governments, there are no tangible assets giving it value, and it certainly isn't stock in the Bitcoin corporation.

    Why not just use Paypal? It sounds like using Bitcoins is a huge pain in the ass anyways.
