Possibly the greatest real life troll of all time, definitely in the hall of fame.

I was listening to right wing talk radio today for the first time in ages and the host was reading this. He had a great line: "Not all soccer fans are liberals but all liberals are soccer fans." And also made fun of how liberals love things that aren't American like soccer and the metric system but hated it when Americans improved soccer rules. Liberals are known to hate America.

Uh, okay. Well, you can ask anyone on this forum, and they will agree that I, Kraichgauer, am an unabashed liberal. And guess what, I don't like soccer (I don't like any sports for that matter), and as a kid, I could never wrap my head around metrics, and still measure everything in feet and inches. And I rather love my country, which is why liberals like myself are critical of our country when we see wrongs - so it can be the best country it can be. Goes to show you how political cranks generalize about whole groups to the point of getting it wrong.
And yes Dox, before you post anything, I admit I do the same thing.

She has to be a master troll, because that was one of her finest works ever. * and I've heard so many from her *

Well that explains it.I went to the first soccer game ever in Little Rock,the Memphis Rogues were playing.Then I played it one year on the school team.Soccer obviously corrupted me.
And I enjoy objectifying the players. :twisted:

There is a conservative America and a liberal America. So what you do on some boring day is take 2 boxes and label them Conservative America and Liberal America and set them apart. Then take some post-it notes and on each one write down a conservative or liberal value, tear it off, and toss it in the applicable box. Keep doing that until you run out of conservaive and liberal values or post-it notes. Go thought each box and whichever holds the most values that are also yours determines whether you live in conservative or liberal america. You don't have to believe in all of the values in either box, just more than half of them in one.

Now for the topic: Who cares what that bimbo says about soccer? I know soccer isn't an American game but I liked playing it anyway. However, as a conservaive leaning American, I would never want to see soccer replace football in this country. I don't think I need to worry about that, though; football aint going nowhere.

Because soccer's for girls, and... Oh, wait.

If violence is good enough for a sport in the US, why isn't rugby more popular?

No, I'm pretty sure there is, as the President had observed even before he ran for the highest office, that there isn't a conservative or liberal America, or a black or white America - just America. Plenty of room for all of us with our conflicting values. But that's what makes America grand. 8)
But I still hate soccer, and sports in general.

I like how she vaguely implies that soccer/football players are 'beasts' because?God forbid?they don't use their opposable thumbs.

*My* conservative women? I think you have me confused with someone else.

But, I'll explain why you'd be wrong even if I where a conservative, as you're misunderstanding the objection brought up in that thread. It wasn't about the fact that conservative women were being attacked per se, it was that they were being attacked in a way that would have drawn condemnation from liberal/progressive types, if the attacks hadn't come from liberal/progressive types in the first place, specifically the kind of gendered attack that causes outrage when Rush Limbaugh utters it, but gets only crickets when it's Bill Maher lobbing the bombs. Then, it's not just an attack, it's a hypocritical attack, which is where my interest comes from, having no tolerance for it.

It's not complicated, you just take the base unit of measure (Like meter for length, and gram for mass) and add the prefixe you need.
A elegant and very versatile system.

As for the imperial system, THAT is complicated.

I actually wish I had learned metric as a kid, it's so much better for cooking since it makes scaling recipes much, much easier. What's 13% of a pound? Uhhh... What's 13% of a kilo? 130 grams. Dead simple.
