And how stupid does that make us look?
This is just a simple effing sport. It ain't about robbing your hometown.
I like Mexican food. Does that make me an illegal alien?
Heheh.
Definitely a waste of keystrokes since you knew that all along..........
Point here is what?
I would rather clip my toenails than watch soccer. I don’t understand why other countries love it so much. Seems to me it’s just another reason to riot.
Your historical perspective is deeply flawed. In fact, almost cartoonish.
While you were busy navel gazing and not watching the world cup, those of us watching saw 10s of thousands of red white and blue clad Americans in cities across the US yelling USA USA USA. Hardly the behavior of citizens of the world, but typical of citizens of the USA.
Jazz had already made serious inroads to Europe by the 1930s with Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli’s Quintet in Paris.
To use soccer terminology, your two shots on goal were so far from the goal, they look like errant passes. To no one.
I had a nice debate with a Scot on this very subject the other day; and, I was trying to convey my feeling of being forced (as you pointed out) to like this game, to watch this game.
<><>>
Have you called the authorities regarding your kidnapping? It’s good that you were able to escape the kidnappers who were not only forcing you to watch the game but also to like it.
That must have been a terrible ordeal for you.
What’s cartoonish is the way the world cup has been promoted in news media.
It’s always painfully obvious when new world order has instructed the news networks to push one of their pet projects.
News12 is the cablevision cable channel here in nj. There was no end to its promotion of worldcup. Same on nbc, which I check out here and there just to see what nwo is pumping into the brains of the sheeple.
Are there American sheeple cheering, yes. Same thing with the Olympics, all the sheeple cheer for their nation.
So it’s all about nationalism, right ?
No sheeple, it’s not. It’s all about taking part in international things where the authority is supra-national.
Right now, nwo is trying to bring people from Central and South America into America as illegals; the message “they’re just like us”.
Soccer is a popular game in those areas. Making it widely accepted and popular in the US gives Americans something in common with those people on a personal level: their love of soccer.
NWO also wants America to accept middle easterners moving into the US en masse.
There’s a TV show right now, “the tyrant”, about the son of a “middle eastern” national leader who grew up and lives in America and has an American-looking family.
It’s not hard to figure out. It’s not hard to resist either, one just has to think for oneself. If I’m too sleepy to understand, I splash some hot coffee in my face, that wakes me up.
Every time nwo invents a new sport, a new hairstyle, new music, a new charitable movement, a new idiotic looking scarf that everyone wears, etc., I simply refuse to accept it and I find it repulsive. It’s all the same, a load of bs aimed at making money while manipulating the sheeple.
I like baseball, always have, always will, that’s it period end of story. But it’s a game, after all, and God takes priority ultimately to everything else in my life. The day baseball starts promoting the sodomite agenda, I’ll stop watching it and never look back.
I’ve got my moral guide, the Bible, I don’t care at all about what nwo says is good or right or wrong I reject it all and they’re all bound for hell, so good riddance, let God have his vengeance on his enemies.
I’m nothing but happy, whether poor, sick, tired, abused, kicked around - I am happy as happy can be. All I want and need is found in the Lord Jesus Christ and I try to joyfully strive every day to be joyfully obedient to him.
I fear not nwo who can only kill me; I fear him that can kill me and cast my soul into hell.
You always, so eloquently, state what I am thinking and feeling but just can't put into words.
This pushing of soccer is sinister.
And I will ALWAYS call it soccer.
I’m very glad you get something out of the posts.
I realize now that I left out an important point.
Nationalism works both ways: nationalism is not only good for America, it’s good for all nations.
NWO is NOT bringing people to America to do anything good in the long run.
In the long run, NWO uses people for it’s own evil agendas.
If one truly wants to help the citizens of a nation, one does not do that by luring their most ambitious people AWAY to another nation.
One truly helps the citizens of a nation by spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and thus bringing truth to that nation. Only then can the citizens of that nation begin to absorb other knowledge that one brings to them. One does not LEND them or their government money. One helps give them the knowledge to be able to BOOTSTRAP the prosperity of their own nation.
NWO seeks ONLY to enslave, not to help. Whenever you think you see them helping - they’re actually enslaving.
For example, we see all the tax-exempt “charitable” foundations (like habitat for humanity mentioned earlier).
They are all aimed at undermining the church, education, medical care and small business - while being a convenient tax dodge for the uber-wealthy !
Just think about a tax-exempt foundation that takes volunteers to repair homes of the poor elderly.
Sounds great, right ?
But it’s not great. What would be great is if money were donated to the charity, which it then SPENT on local small business home repair companies already in business to do the actual work.
The local businesses would then hire more employees who would then have paychecks, and the small businesses would have greater prosperity. The poor elderly would still get the same help, with probably better construction. And the donors would still get their almighty tax break. It’s the “volunteerism” that is actually devastating to small business.
To the Home Depot of the area - they’re fine with working with the volunteer builders because they sell product either way.
The reason why the Amish helping each other build structures works for them is that ALL their men are, in essence, professional builders. Everyone else is NOT in that situation.
America to a great extent is CHARITYING ITSELF OUT OF SMALL BUSINESS.
The monopolists love their tax-exempt charities, but they really love monopoly. Which in this case means no more small builders, only a few large homebuilding companies. That consolidation means only 1 or 2 choices of who to work for in the local area for construction workers. If they put in a union, all the better for the elites, now all those workers will help them politically and in stomping out any small independent building companies with union thuggery that the large building companies can’t legally do themselves. And with only 1 or 2 large building companies in the local area, they can set prices as they please, passing through any higher costs to the consumer who has no choice but to buy from the monopolists. The big companies are efficient in some respects, but woefully inefficient in others, and their inefficiency is rewarded nonetheless with ample profits if they can get rid of competition.
Basically all US industries are consolidated in this fashion.
You really don’t seem to pay attention to the actual outside world, just the one you’ve invented in your own head.
Soccer is not a new sport.

Is there anything on this topic you are not wrong about? So far you’re running a big 0 for 4.
But now given facts, I guess you’re done with baseball, eh?
I’m aware that sodomy marketing has already begun, it was mentioned 1 time on YES, which is all I really watch.
It’s not a one-off trial balloon that will make me drop it, or the now compulsory corporate push for anti-bullying off-air programs they have, it’s when I get good and sick of it because they start pushing it in my face on air. It’s the same reason I don’t bother with currently produced music, TV shows, movies, etc. It’s all bs.
But there’s no way to have some pure standard for the products and services one buys. After all, since practically every large business in America is in on all the nwo bs, one would have to live like a bear in the woods to completely disengage from doing business with such organizations, obviously not practical.
Soccer...
is new in the US WHEN COMPARED TO baseball and football. When my grandfather was playing in local mens baseball teams there was no soccer around. My grandfather was a NY Giants fan. There was no soccer to speak of at the time in the area, except perhaps if one counts anyone who happened to kick a can down the road or some such.
When I was a kid I played baseball because it was interesting and fun. I could have played soccer, but that would have really amounted to just running around for hours kicking a ball. I got plenty of running to suite my tastes in before school in the morning and had no desire to kick a ball around.
For those countries where soccer is a well-loved national sport, like baseball and football are in the US, I say more power to them, it is wonderful that they have their well-loved tradition of soccer, or futball, or what have you. I do not feel any urge to force them to play baseball, or sneakily indoctrinate them by luring them into playing baseball. If they want to, fine, if they don’t, fine. And obviously the soccer fans don’t have anything to do with pushing soccer in America, it’s the elites who run my TV that are doing the pushing.
You have a point. As for me I care nothing about soccer, never watch it, never will. It doesn’t affect me in any way. So much is happening to our country right now that I’m just on edge. We are seeing invasion by muslims, Mexican’s, commumists, Marxists, Facists, and socialists. I don’t need an invasion of soccer fanatics on top of everything else.
