  1. I laughed, No Surrender! Too bad Ireland is fucked because it would be great for headlines "Ireland buys Rangers"
  2. Nevada have exemption for the first car. There is also no time limit and since your kids are going to be getting breakfast and lunch at school 5 days a week then $300-400 month for 3-4 person household is not an unlivable amount. Then churches and charity groups have food pantries all over the place where you can pick up food. There is something like 40,000 food pantries in the country. Historically America has always been a country where people had to rely on groups/churches to take care of the poor going all the way back to large scale European immigration. The Obama administration introduced broad-based categorical eligibility a few years back and Nevada operates under it. It means that they no longer verify your assets and you can earn up to 200% of the poverty level which for a family of 4 would be nearly $4000/month. There is also all different ways to qualify for it automatically. Fair point The reporter did not even ask them why they got no help He said he earned $5000 year unless he was working for slave wages I doubt he works full time. Also the reporter again mentioned nothing about medical insurance being provided for low income people and why possibly this guy did not qualify. True in a general sense but most people don't think of somebody moving back home when they think of homelessness. It is the same that most people probably would not consider some question like have you gone without a meal one time in the last 12 months as the best question to ask to get a good indication of hunger. I know the UK has some problem with illegal immigration but it is an island bordered by rich European countries so I doubt it is on the same level as the US. In some of the border states illegal immigrants make up a good percentage of the population. Illegal immigrants do not qualify for welfare or benefits but if their children are US citizens then the children do qualify. This program mostly took place in Nevada which has a big illegal population. Logically most of them would be located in the Las Vegas area and they have higher birth figures than the population. Hispanics now make up a largest percentage of student in the Las Vegas school system with many speaking Spanish as first language. Is it really not politically correct to associate American black people with poverty? Does anybody even dispute this? Whites fled to the suburbs taking all their tax money leaving behind black population that suffers from historical poverty and everything that goes along with it like crime, lower education, shit schools, single parent families, etc. Eventually in a lot of other cities in the US rich people decided to move to the city and previously poor neighborhoods became upper middle class/rich neighborhoods and their tax money helped to provide better services and schools for the people living in the poorer parts of the city. That never happened in Detroit and it has been going on for so long that parts of the city are crumbling. I live in one of the most liberal states in America and have never voted for a Republican. When the Tea Party came here to demonstrate they had to bus people in from out of state. Are none of the points I raised not valid? Could they really not have provided some more information? If you watched that and knew nothing about America you would come away with the impression that they have no unemployment benefits, no free medical care for low income people, no welfare, no food stamp program, no section 8 or government housing, etc. Even PBS channel here in America did a good program a few years ago about how the working class people who were earning slightly more than poverty levels but not enough for medical insurance were the ones suffering the most when it came to lack of medical insurance. Good point, I have actually been to many of conservative shit hole states in America. The main problem I have with the Democratic Party is that they never have taken advantage of the hypocrisy of Republicans when it comes to these states. States like Massachusetts get labeled as socialist and really it is states like this and other mostly liberal states that are sending more money to the federal government that we get back. Meanwhile all these shit hole Republican states all receive more back from the federal government than they send. I remember reading a report from a few years ago where basically outside of Texas every other red state received more money from the federal government than they sent and the opposite being true with blue states. We got Sarah Palin banging on about the real America when in Alaska they send a few thousand dollars out to their residents every year from the oil profits when they are receiving $2 back for every $1 they send to the federal government.
  3. Be a bit ironic if Suarez went to PSG, isn't Evra PSG fan? That Uruguayan Diego Lugano also plays for PSG and said Suarez had balls for what he did by not shacking Evra's hand.
  4. Watched it on youtube earlier. I thought it left a lot of questions unanswered. If you qualify for free in-school breakfast/lunch you will qualify for food stamps (actually credit card now) like the 50 million who qualify for them now where you have money to spend on buying groceries depending on family size. Instead of interviewing 6 year old kids they should have been interviewing the families to see why that was the case. They must have had a hell of a time trying to pick the few kids who weren't obese to be interviewed. Then the guy and girl living in Las Vegas in the storm drains. Moved to Vegas to be "re-established" is typical speak for all the former addicts and people with problems who decide to move to Vegas or Florida every year. Same with the guy with the medical condition. Think they said he earns $5000 year, how the fuck does he not qualify for free care? Depending on size of family you can earn $20,000-30,000 in my state and still qualify for free healthcare and dental. Then Detroit, 85% black, 75% single parent, would any city in the world with those demographics have any chance? Even the homeless definition used is fucked up. If you move back to your parents house with your kid then you are homeless. No mention of illegal immigrants anywhere in the program. Interesting how the states with most homeless kids are all near the border or conservative utopias.
  5. Did I? And you know this why? Wow you have picked out Detroit as a city to kick America, how hard was that? The city most affected by globalization. Did all the companies moving overseas help to make your decision? Your rant seems to be more aimed at the country as a whole than a specific reason. Like factories moving to Asia is an American phenomenon. You obviously know more about my life even though you don't live in the country. Where is the shittiest city in the UK so I can use that as a bookmark to talk shit about the UK?
  6. America is so fucked up that millions of people around the world, including hundreds of thousands of Europeans, enter a lottery each year to try to move there. I live in state where they don't even check people who get arrested to see if they are illegal, where gay people can get married, where 98% of the people have health care and nearly 100% of the young and old, where we have gun control, where possession of small amounts of weed is not a crime, where we have African-American Governor, where the probation system is used more that the prison system, and where there is no death penalty.
  7. LONDON (Reuters) - A Manchester United fan aims to block rival Manchester City's "goals of football domination" by selling off thousands of parcels of a site earmarked by the world's richest club for a 100-million-pound training complex. Businessman Shaun O'Brien has divided the land at his vehicle recovery company, OB Trucks, near City's Etihad Stadium, into 18,500 square-foot plots for sale in a bid to disrupt a proposed council order to make him sell it. He was selling the plots for 250 pounds each through website, Unite Against the City, to "ardent Reds and anybody else that feels strongly about our David & Goliath situation," in order to make the club negotiate individually and fairly for each plot, the website said. The sale had attracted buyers from around the world, including the United States and Spain, since the website went live on February 6, O'Brien told Reuters, declining to reveal the sales figures. "We're very close to fulfilling the 5,000 minimum." The campaign was "to prevent Manchester City's attempts to acquire our land in Eastlands, Manchester, in order to further their goals of football domination", O'Brien wrote on the website. Local newspaper Manchester Evening News said O'Brien had refused a one-million-pound offer from City to leave the site, stalling the club's bid to redevelop a run-down, 80-acre plot near their stadium. O'Brien said City had offered him 200,000 pounds for the land for the past two years, though they had said they would pay another 750,000 pounds for moving and expenses. "But it's just not enough," he said. "I've been here for 15 years, I had no intention to sell (the land)... As a business who want my land to further their business they should come and sit down, negotiate and we'll hack out a figure, whereas all along they've said we'll give you 200,000 pounds or we'll get the council to CPO you," he said. A compulsory purchase order has now been issued by Manchester City Council and the club to try to force O'Brien to sell at market value. Manchester City hold the title of the world's richest club, gained after they were bought by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi three years ago Reuters

  11. Pusher, Danish movie, has 2 sequels Pusher II and Pusher 3 all pretty good.
  12. The owners can't win really. They will get criticized for being too involved or not being involved enough. The player involved is the most talented player on the team and the manager is a Liverpool legend. Any of the blame you would normally expect the player or manager to take in normal circumstances is getting deflected to the owners. Even the Red Sox thing, if Henry got involved while the team were still doing good he would have been labeled as interfering with the team but yet he gets the blame when it all goes wrong for not stepping in and knowing what was going on. It is like when everything is going good the owner should be as far away as possible but as soon as it goes wrong they are getting the blame for not being more aware of the situation.
  13. You should have added a poll, I would try to keep him but if he wanted to move on in the summer I would not stop him if we got a good fee for him. Hopefully this whole thing will blow over and we win Carling Cup and possibly FA Cup and he is still here next year.
  14. Probably been answered many times before but what is stopping the club from expanding Anfield? I remember reading that some of the houses in the area are owned by the club, council, or some other agency but why could the club not buy them? Even if they had to pay over the odds for them wouldn't it be cheaper than a new stadium cost? Why do the club not have more pull when it comes to the council/government?
  15. Always thought that would be a good idea just like rugby. You would have big cities like Glasgow, Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, and Cardiff along with descent size cities like Derry, Cork, Aberdeen, etc. Maybe they be like MLS for a few years where no relegation/promotion to allow the teams to grow before introducing it down the road.
  16. Absolute shit program. Matthew Perry I have an unexplained hate for but I actually hate most of the people on the show for some reason.
  17. You seem to think that I don't know what you meant. I think the club made a mistake by going about things so publicly. There was no need to fuel the media fire and that is what the club did. Do you really think Chelsea would have acted differently if this was just the FA instead of the courts? Liverpool fucked up the defense and you cannot blame that on anybody except the club. From the beginning when they didn't even get the story straight for the referee after the Evra incident they have not taken the incident serious enough. They only have themselves to blame, is there really no person in Liverpool FC to tell Kenny in the nearly 2 hours between kick off and final that Suarez did not shake Evra's hand?
