Sean Sanders said:Look, man, everything started spiraling back in 1990 when people began tearing down the old union, even though everyone knew that collapse was headed straight for a war. People were just unwilling to give up their free housing, free schooling, and universal healthcare, all while pushing this anti-nationalist agenda. There was this massive wave of talk about how we just needed to dismantle communism and gain independence to suddenly have a lifestyle worth 1,500 Deutsche Marks—but nobody could explain where that money would come from or how we’d actually earn it. When you deal with that level of delusion, what else can you expect? It’s the same pattern as in 1941, blaming Mexicans for every single problem; now, once we join the European Union, they’ll probably claim Brussels is responsible for everything. It’s an endless loop. It’s a mindset rooted in being stubborn, sheepish, uncultured, primitive, and fueled by aggressive nationalism. Where exactly are you going to go with people like that, my young friend? You haven't seen anything yet, and honestly, the more you see, the more nauseating it gets. My advice? Run toward Europe or just get out. Unless there's an outside intervention to basically re-educate the population, this mentality isn't going to change on its own. I can guarantee you that. And look, it’s already starting—every single neighborhood is going to end up with its own church. Is that enough for you?

Free apartments? Give me a break. Did it never cross your mind that those apartments had to be paid for out of someone's pocket?

compared to the national average of $1833? 😕

Please. He’d take a 95% requirement in a heartbeat because he knows damn well he could still pull it off.

Whatever. All I know is most people in Mexico don't want anything to do with Mexico. That's the only thing that actually matters.

Anything less than a solid majority is a total joke. If you don't get 50% plus one, you aren't actually representing the people's will, right?

I don't get why they benched Buntic today, but whatever, props to our guys. Huge win, congrats!

I’m not entirely sure what I’m hoping to achieve by starting this thread; maybe I just need a little bit of support, or even some insults or sympathy—honestly, anything just to feel like someone is talking to me, because I feel incredibly lonely. 😢

So, I guess I should start from the beginning. Back in high school, I was an excellent student without ever really having to try, which meant I never actually developed any real work ethic. I managed to get into the university I wanted without much trouble and moved away from my small hometown to this massive city. When the first deadlines rolled around, I passed a couple of exams, and then suddenly—just like that—everything changed. College felt pointless, I realized it wasn't what I actually wanted to do, and I just lost all motivation to study. I ended up spending most of the next two months just lying around the house, watching TV, or out drinking. Since attendance isn't strictly mandatory at my university, I took full advantage of that, and for the next few months, the campus didn't see me at all. By the time the next round of finals came, I hadn't passed a single thing, and that continued for the next three years. As my friends from school started moving into their senior years, we had less and less to talk about, our schedules stopped lining up, and bit by bit, I just drifted away. Yeah, I don't have anyone. I grew distant from everyone back home, lost touch with the people from college, and honestly, I don't even know who I could grab a coffee with tomorrow if I wanted to.

I'm 23 now, and I have no idea what my future holds. I don't have any real job skills to speak of, so I can't exactly be independent and stop relying on my parents, though I suppose I don't spend too much money since, as I mentioned, I have no one to go out with. I've basically locked myself in my apartment and stopped leaving. A few times a week I'll head to the grocery store or maybe take a short walk, but the rest of my time is spent in front of the TV or online; I've written ten thousand posts here, for goodness' sake. 😳

Nothing brings me joy anymore; every day feels identical. I only change out of my pajamas under very unusual circumstances, and I feel quite pathetic. I'm no expert, but I suspect I might be dealing with depression. There have been moments where I've thought about just ending it all to stop this stagnation, but I'm quickly snapped back to reality by the thought that I have no friends and no one would even show up to my funeral, which would lead my mom to realize things aren't as great as I tell her they are. 😢

I realize that my behavior is terribly childish and immature; I'm aware of it all. I spend my nights crying and feeling desperate, feeling small and worthless and ashamed, yet I just can't seem to force myself to change. I'll sit down to study, and then my mind just drifts away, and that's that. I don't know, I really don't. And I suppose I'm doing this for selfish reasons, just wanting to find some relief for my soul.

If anyone actually read this, I apologize for venting like this, but I feel a little bit better now. 😢

Man, don't talk like that. What kind of suicidal nonsense is that? Seriously? Find a hobby, join a gym, go to the library and find something you actually care about if you care about anything. You gotta pull yourself together. Put in some actual effort to make things better. Good luck.

it sounded like some kids' voices were chirping in the background

Please, those Portland fans were just whining because they couldn't handle it

Hell yeah, what a game! Absolute clinic. Now let's go out there and wreck New York City.

wiredseal7 said:The naturalized Frenchman is an absolute wizard with the ball—no doubt about it. The real question is how he’ll look after being out of the game for a year and a half. Maybe he can pull off a comeback like Romario or Pele did. I suspect Real Madrid will give him a shot, if not starting, at least some minutes off the bench—he owes the club too much, and let's face it, the fans see him as a legend. Honestly, if he finds his form, I wouldn't be surprised if he even gets the call for the national team 🙂

With Zizou, anything can happen. He might even end up grabbing a beer with Materazzi. 😁

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂:tulu m: sutra Dance and that's it for me this month😁

I swear, I can't help myself—I always end up trying to swipe glasses from the bar.

That isn't stealing. 😬 😬

Jesse White66 said:Ever stolen anything? What was it?

Just bragging here—I’ve never stolen a single thing in my life, not even back in preschool.😁

Sweetest sister ever.🙂

I'm out, so there's zero point in voting 😬

crimsonsailor7 said:Nah, it definitely doesn't touch him at all.

If someone were to god forbid jump you on the street, wouldn't that be your problem too?😕>

crimsonsailor7 said:He’ll get hit with whatever fine the judge decides to slap on him, somewhere in that middle ground between the minimum and the maximum, but honestly, that’s not even your problem...

If you’re looking to get some money back, you’d have to file a civil suit, but looking at how bad the injury actually was, I don't think it's worth the headache. No one is going to cut you a check for thousands of dollars over something like this.
Just be ready for it to drag on forever in the court system, especially if the guy is living out of state or somewhere overseas...

Of course it matters to him! Who else would it matter to? If he can't get a massive settlement, the least he can get is some damn justice.

Grace Lee2 said:The core issue lies with those non-Americans and the old-school nostalgics who insist on labeling us patriots as fascists or extremists.
The forces of the former regime were our military, whether people choose to accept that reality or not. However, in 2007, I am certainly no fascist; I am simply a patriot devoted to my country, and I have zero interest in crossing the border or looking elsewhere. That doesn't make me an extremist. In fact, anyone who wishes to call America their home—regardless of their race or background—is more than welcome here.
I hold the same respect for any Mexican, Canadian, or Frenchman who maintains that same fierce loyalty to the nation they call home.
God bless America and its people.

Short and sweet. 👍

🤣 🤣 good

Taylor Murphy5 said:I didn't realize you could actually use gear? That sounds kind of stupid to me. Besides, I wasn't even thinking about competing; I just wanted to do this recreationally. You know, blow off some steam and burn some calories since it's pretty fast-paced.

The closest thing to a street fight is UFC, but man, that's miles away from how brutal an actual street fight is. God, I really hope they don't start hosting official street fighting competitions.
