Things I don't understand

[chang50]

Netball isn't a physical game.

And soccer plays are fairly puny.

Puny compared to some other male athletes...

[huamulan]

American Football players are big.

American Footballers would definitely beat the world's best female ski team in a cross-country race.

inb4 'different skills required'

[natty dread]

Women are physically different from Men.

WHAT ABOUT THE TRANSSEXUALS, HUH?

answer that genuis

[Lootifer]

I highly doubt that a group of soccer players would be able to defeat the best women's netball team in the world in a netball match.

They would win easily,not because they are more skilful at netball,but because they would dominate them physically.Same for male athletes of nearly every sport.

Haha, might pay to watch some netball.

Top basketballers then sure, but soccer players? Not without at least a fair stretch of training.

I think that you understand most of these, but jot them down anyway to keep this thread going.

[huamulan]

I don't understand how my sister's ex-husband could let her down and desert her the way he did.

He swore he'd never say goodbye.

I don't understand why Europeans feel qualified and justified to comment on American politics.

I don't understand why soccer players feel the need to fake injuries when they flop. The flopping is fine. No need to hold your shin in pain buddy.

They want to defend their pride by acting like they got hurt, I guess.

Flopping sucks ass though and the only (major) sports that I know it doesn't exist in are rugby, baseball, tennis and golf. It's just annoying seeing it in basketball, soccer and especially football where MOST of the guys are tough as shit but then you get that occasional Jerome Simpson being a little bitch.

[Haggis_McMutton]

MOST of the guys are tough as shit

but are they tough as pigshit?

[thegreekdog]

MOST of the guys are tough as shit

but are they tough as pigshit?

And as thick.

[jonesthecurl]

Pigshit. It's tough. It's thick.
Oh wait, no it isn't.

[natty dread]

What's the deal with airline peanuts?

[natty dread]

Seriously, what's up with them?

I give you: a forum full of Americans talking shit about Greece.

Just one (Phatscotty). Greecepwns is Greek (although lives in the US). The rest of the commentators are Brits.

[huamulan]

Fair enough. How many Europeans are on this forum commenting on America?

As a 'Greek' you ought to understand that most Europeans don't give a shit about what happens in the US of A.

[natty dread]

Europeans are much more justified in being interested in US politics than the other way around. USA has such a large military presence and is so influential in world politics that whatever happens in US politics is likely to have long-reaching effects on other countries of the world.

Besides, seeing as how apparently European people can be extradited to USA to be convicted for "crimes" that are not crimes in their home countries... well, no one is safe

TGD I am sure you have posted in British political threads before.

TGD I am sure you have posted in British political threads before.

I may have asked some questions. I don't know enough about British politics and I try not to pretend I know enough about the culture to feel justified in commenting. I don't care, honestly, I'm just don't understand it.

natty dread sums it up. People on every continent have to live with the effects of American foreign policy. The intrusiveness of American foreign policy does, therefore, make the citizens of countries other than the USA stakeholders in American foreign policy.

e.g. If a Syrian wanted to comment on America's backing of military intervention in Syria then their input would be perfectly valid, even though said Syrian is Syrian and not American.

So the United States intrusive foreign policy affects the UK?

In any event, it appears, at least to me, that the Britishers who comment on US politics rarely comment on foreign policy.

Anyway, sorry AoG.
