  • Then again the yank soldiers all said the same after the massacres in Vietnam and they all got off.

  • It’s the whole premise of The Capture.

  • Catholic hospital argues a fetus isn’t the same as a ‘person’ to avoid legal damages

  • Not really. They banned priest marriage so they could stop paying pensions to widows and would inherit all their property, and throughout the Catholic existence they were selling pardons for sins.

    Even the establishment of Christianity was a cash grab. They gentrified Jesus because Jews weren’t interested in this particular messiah and it was the gentiles who had the cash at the time.

  • Greenland is not a part of the Schengen Area, and a passport is required for travel to most of the EU, except travel to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden where any photo ID is acceptable, if perhaps not entirely practical.

  • So would chalk dust. Are we sure this isn’t just a movie thing?

  • Violence

  • Civilisation is about pooling resources to make a consistent supply of beer and food. It makes no clear preference between violence and peace. Crops are easier to grow during peace, while war affords more land to grow crops. So the optimum strategy for a civilisation is to alternate between periods of peace and war.

  • Unfortunately Germany does not permit dual-nationality with a country outside the EU.

  • Yes, a widespread nickname…

    Soccer is short for Association Football. If you really want to fixate on club names for some reason, you can take in Wrexham AFC, AFC Bournemouth, AFC Wimbledon, Barrow AFC, but I don’t see the relevance myself.

  • I don’t really get your point. You’re expecting a nickname to make it to the club’s formal name?

  • Found a PDF of a 2014 study by Stefan Szymanski at the University of Michigan. Compares Soccer/Football use in The Times, NY Times, British football bibliography, Guardian, Independent and Time Magazine.

  • As the close relative of a football journalist, I spent my early life surrounded by historical books, journals, fanzines and programmes from around 1900 to the 2000s. Strikingly, pre-1970s, soccer and football were wholly interchangeable in every social grouping, every purpose, every outlet. Dockers down the pub would talk about footy, football, or soccer as if it meant the same thing. It is only with the xenophobia of the 70s that it became an “American” word and a naughty thing to say in certain company.

    Texas county that swung to Trump grapples with immigration crackdown after bakery is targeted

  • It takes a slight reduction in the available food options to make a Texan think things through?

  • Soccer was a widespread term for it among all classes up until the mid-late 1970s, with books, magazines, newspaper columns, and so on using the term interchangeably with football. There appears to have been a switch to actively hating on the term, and it coincides with the rise of the hooligan in the 60s and 70s, and general xenophobia as demonstrated by the rise of the far right. It is at this point that “soccer” becomes a filthy American term among a certain type of “fan”.

  • The US doesn’t use imperial measures. It uses US customary measures which often have the same names but are significantly different.
