    This is exactly what I was talking about earlier...The absolute stupidity of a lot of football fans in a stadium. To be perfectly honest, I have been in a couple of England and the Brits are the worse. Truly embarrassing lot.

    That’s ugly! There always have to be some idiots!

    So far it looks like fans have been randomly mixing together in the stands. That could be a disaster when Argentina plays Mexico. Way too many idiots, on both sides.

    what is laughable and dishonest is you framing what is and what is not open for discussion
    what is laughable and dishonest is you re-defining common terms and concepts to suit your point of view
    what is laughable and dishonest is you calling anyone who disagrees with you
    fascist and out to get you

    don't you see that you are the bully?
    you insist on having the conversation on your terms or not at all

    Well, you're the one that asserted that conservatives/Republicans aren't opposed to equal rights for gay people and aren't all about "other"-izing various minority segments of the population. Since such assertions contradict well-documented facts, either he's right about you being a troll, or you're profoundly ignorant of the documented statements and actions of the Republican party, or you're just stone cold bugfsck nuts. Those are the only three possibilities to explain how you can make claims so clearly in conflict with objective reality. Based on your past behavior, I also lean towards the first explanation; but obviously I can't be certain which of the three it is.

    It's amazing how much you obsess about not being able to denigrate a certain group of people because the moderators agreed with me that discussions of that group of people, who are not here to represent themselves or correct misinformation that is regularly advanced by posters such as yourself, always and almost immediately descend into vile and denigrating comments.

    By which you mean my using accurate scientific definitions for the terms and concepts that you incorrectly use.

    If the shoe fits ...

    Because bullies are known for sticking up for people who are not here to represent themselves when they are attacked by others.

    Because bullies are known for calling people out when they denigrate others.

    Because bullies are known for holding people accountable when they spread misinformation and lies.


    Except the moderators have agreed that my terms, as you call it, are the ones that are enforced for that one particular topic that you seem to obsess over because those discussions always descend into denigrating language almost immediately.

    Did you guys watch the actual clip?

    Are you all saying that Central American teams DON’T play the game differently from Europeans? I’m so old I remember Campbell from Costa Rica pretending Besler kicked him.
